For the past two Februaries, I have chronicled a day in our life, just to see how much changes from year to year. Last year, I was still pregnant with Mathias at this time, and two years ago I had a two-year-old that still took a long nap in the afternoon and went to bed …
One year ago, almost to the day, I did a “Day in the Life” post to chronicle a semi-typical day for me as a stay-at-home mom, and at the end, I wrote that I should make it a yearly tradition (since though our daily habits might seem routine/normal/even mundane at times for me in the …

Note: I found this post filed under “drafts” and realized I’d never published it (because when I wrote it, no one knew our happy news). Even though I’m now more than 2/3 of the way through my second trimester (and this post deals with all the not-fun symptoms of my first trimester), I …
