Yesterday was our second anniversary. We celebrated by taking a walk together outside and we spent a quiet hour together and exchanged some gifts while Atticus’ mom watched Maggie sleep. The definition of low-key, but it couldn’t have been better. I am so blessed to have the most generous, loving husband ever. We are so blessed that our love is so real that right now the fruit of it is sleeping on my chest. Read more

The Final Countdown!

Last updated on: December 20, 2010 at 11:42 pm By Sarah Babbs

Anyone else remember that song? It’s classic. But of course I’m referring to my own “final countdown” – that is, until Baby Girl makes her appearance. One week from today is induction day. Today was my last pre-natal appointment, and I have some good news to report. 1. I will officially have gone the entire pregnancy with no insulin! Hooray! This drastically increases the odds that baby girl will not have to be taken to NICU and her monitoring could... Read more

7 Quick Takes Friday

Last updated on: December 17, 2010 at 2:16 pm By Sarah Babbs

*** 1 *** I am sick. Not seriously though, dear readers, lest you get alarmed. I seem to have contracted that most disastrous of all foes, which can bring a person to their knees, crying “Why God? Why can’t I breathe?” That’s right friends, the cold. Having a cold while 9 months pregnant is pretty rotten though. I’ve decided to persevere by spending the day on the couch. *** 2 *** 10 days from now is baby-time. Unless,... Read more

Full Term

Last updated on: December 13, 2010 at 7:22 pm By Sarah Babbs

Well friends, today is a big day. Baby girl is officially full term at 37 weeks! I have made it to full term with this wonderful baby. If she was born today, she wouldn’t be considered premature, and all of her organs are ready for “life on the outside”. Now, the question is, am I ready for “life on the outside”? Of course, the answer is no. We have the car seat. We have the crib, the stroller, the diapers,... Read more

***1*** Anyone planning to see The Voyage of the Dawn Treader this weekend? I think we probably will. I am about half-way through reading it again right now. In fact, today I just read the chapter which details the “baptism” of one of the characters. I’m wondering how it’s going to be shown in the film. I’m also wondering how a book which was written expressly as a Christian allegory will be portrayed in a movie culture which is not... Read more

Mother of Mine

Last updated on: December 8, 2010 at 6:03 pm By Sarah Babbs

Today is the feast of the Immaculate Conception, which refers to Mary being conceived in the womb of her mother, St. Anne, without the stain of original sin which taints all of us. This aspect of her creation is honored, because to be created without original sin makes her the only sinless human creature to have lived. I’m sure just about everyone reading already knows this. It’s one of the most important feasts of the Church. Atticus and I went... Read more

Stolen Book Meme

Last updated on: December 5, 2010 at 8:38 pm By Sarah Babbs

I stole this from Calah at Barefoot and Pregnant. She is hilarious, and serious, and I love reading her blog. Go check her out if you haven’t yet! And now, the absurdly long book meme that I am going to answer, rather than washing the dishes. Virtue in action my friends. 1. Favorite childhood book? I had several. Little Women. The American Girls (but only Samantha and Molly). I had brown hair and glasses, so obviously I only wanted to... Read more

I am about to get up on it. Here we go. Today Rebecca wrote a very thoughtful post following up on her post of a few weeks ago about “just cause” and NFP. While none of the comments on her original post were negative or nasty (though the whole reason she wrote the post in the first place WAS because of a negative comment on another blog), I am really annoyed about the whole situation. In today’s post, Rebecca says,... Read more
