Gifts for Kids

I have been having such a HARD time picking out gifts for Lucy. I finally ordered her birthday gift tonight (really, her third gift as we’re making a keepsake for her and I picked up a little something for pretty cheap a few weeks ago). This is her “big” gift, though it’s not all that big. It’s a toy she LOVES playing with at a play place we go to, so we thought it would be a safe bet. Of course, now I’m thinking about what to get her for Christmas. I know she doesn’t need anything “big” at...

The creator of IVF was given the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Thank you, Robert G. Edwards. Without IVF, we wouldn’t have Lucy.

It’s Time to Party!

September 30, 2010 in Friends, Life, Lucy, Memories

Lucy went to her first birthday party last weekend. Two of the moms in my moms group threw a party for their daughters, whose birthdays are very close together. It was a dinosaur theme, and it was a lot of fun. Even Lucy, who...

It’s Sleep Calling

Lucy was super fussy tonight while Joe and I were eating dinner. Then, she started getting calls on her Blackberry. Joe: It’s sleep calling. Lucy: I’m not answering.

The Battle of the Sippy Cup
