Good friends of ours lent us a few pregnancy and baby books, and I found two of them most helpful. I would love to hear what books, blogs, and magazines other moms use to learn about child development and parenting. … Continue reading
Hailey was so lucky to have her Godmama Burzie visit for the weekend. Marie was such a trooper hanging out with the new parents and a squirmy little baby all weekend. I had prepared Marie that I had no … Continue reading
We have survived our first two weeks of parenthood. Thank you to our families for making the drive down and helping us stock the fridge and install the shed. (I’ll leave it to Dan to post on that topic. Here … Continue reading
Short Version: Contractions through the night. Regular and stronger contractions from about 8am. Got to the hospital at 10:15am. All back labor, no pain meds or epidural. Popped out a baby at 1:42pm. Epic Version: Dan: The fun began on … Continue reading
This is a little experiment to see if we can quickly and automatically share pictures of Hailey without having to email them one at a time or keep everything on facebook or the blog. Setting up the shared picture folder … Continue reading
Hailey loved her first photo shoot at the hospital! We couldn’t pick our favorites so here are all of them.
Here are a few quick pictures from our daughter’s first day.
It is with great joy and excitement that Elaine and I introduce our daughter, Hailey Lorraine Hart Born: 9/12/2012 1:42pm Height: 20 1/2″ Weight: 7 lbs 1 oz Both mother and daughter are doing great!
This is old news now that Hailey is here, but here’s a Week 40 update. We went in for an ultrasound on Monday 9/10 since that was the original due date and doc wanted to get a weight estimate on … Continue reading
By the end of week 39, I was ready to have this baby. It occurred to me that maybe she wouldn’t come early because I hadn’t invited her out. So I did that, reassuring her that we will still feed … Continue reading
With fall quickly approaching, it seems cruel to try to endure the colder months without the comfort of an Oktoberfest in the fridge. So, this will be my next brew. I’ll post up details once it is complete. Update – … Continue reading
This was my very first brew. And it wasn’t that good… It was an IPA. It did taste like hops. It was drinkable. It was beer. It wasn’t all that amazing. But it was my start into the addiction that is … Continue reading
Chocolate makes everything better, right? This beer was no exception. This beer was surprising light for a stout. That is to say it didn’t seem “thick” when drinking it. It has a dark, rich, chocolate taste to it. The oats … Continue reading
2011 This is, by far, my favorite brew to date. This beer had a ton of flavor to it, but was very easy to drink. I didn’t take long at all to go through all 50 (or so) bottles of … Continue reading
This is meant to replicate the Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. 10Sept2012 My version didn’t quite stack up. This could have something to do with the missed step of adding the dry hops during the fermentation (ya think…). I ended … Continue reading
This beer was based upon a Hefeweizen recipe with the normal Hefe yeast substituted for an American Ale yeast (and of course, I don’t remember exactly which yeast was used.). The end result was a nice, light, slightly fruit flavored … Continue reading
1 bag of frozen wings (Meijer bulk section), defrosted. Soak for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) in the fridge in: 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar water to fill container Fan Friendly Rub: 3 parts Garlic Salt 2 parts … Continue reading
Week 38 was interesting because everyone is trying to guess when I’ll have the baby and so many people act surprised every day that I show up for work or at the gym for water aerobics. I had my appointment … Continue reading
A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan was our November book club read. I listened to the audio book, but I wasn’t crazy about this one. It’s one of those books that examines different characters and then weaves their … Continue reading
Thank you to my Fit for Delivery (prenatal water aerobics) groupies for the congratulations to Baby Girl on making it full term. Wild. I am loving this class more and more and have really enjoyed getting to know these other … Continue reading
