Amazing how slowly days seem to go with a new baby, yet how quickly they go when looking at my blog. I guess this blogging biz will remain just a monthly outlet until my Skylar becomes more predictable. There’s only so much I can spit out during her 10-minute to 3-hour-long naps. 🙂 What was …
On January 9, Skylar turned two months old. I laid her down on the faux sheepskin rug in the nursery (that room we’ve yet to use for sleepy time..) to snap that perfect monthly photo. As soon as she parted ways from my chest, her face crinkled up into that devastatingly-cute cry face. The pouty …
Alright, let’s see how long Skylar’s nap lasts…I’m on the clock! I’ve got heavy rain white noise YouTubed right now, so hopefully that’s just what Sky needs for some solid sleep. Speaking of solid sleep– this girl (me) got 7 hours basically straight last night! New Father of the Year, Matt Grevers, took the night …
It’s been exactly 65 hours since the most excruciating pain of my life; the most joyful day of my life. On Wednesday, November 9 I woke up with period-like cramps. Nothing severe, but something new for pregnancy. I walked three miles with a friend and her sweet one-month-old baby boy. The cramps persisted, but weren’t crippling. …
It’s officially BABY WATCH time in the Grevers household! It’s very difficult for me to focus on anything but signs of labor…but I need to because time is going by so….very….slow….ly. I feel like Halloween was a month ago, but it was a week ago. Wahhh. Speaking of Halloween, Matt and I take it seriously. …
Like many of you, I’m perplexed at how we ended up here– with two presidential candidates that don’t seem to represent the majority of us…at all. I don’t like that these are my choices, and to be perfectly honest, I have no clue what I’m going to do on election day. But I want to write …
I just took the fur babies on a long walk and listened to a Timothy Keller sermon on “spiritual warfare” (download fo’ free here). Matt and I actually listened to it a few months ago, but it was a good one for me to hear again. Before delving in the subject of “the devil”, Keller poses …
So when I found out I was pregnant on March 25, 2016 I had a weird, shaky reaction. As we went to bed the previous night, Matt had said “Well, when was the last time you took a test? Maybe you’re pregnant…” Pshhht, I thought. “You were just at training camp for a month. If …
I should have started writing about our adventures on this mystical, wondrous island days ago, because I’m not sure how my recall is going to be…but I want to remember every memorable moment of this utopian week, so here goes…something. Sunday, August 28- DAY 1 Matt had been in Maui for a week helping the …
I just read over what I wrote weeks before Olympic Trials. It seems like my heart was unknowingly preparing me for the chance that Matt might not make the Olympic Team. But my heart still has pangs of hurt for my man, who finished third in the event he became Olympic champion in four years …
