Winslow Farm. It's a beautiful Animal Sanctuary in Norton, MA. It's a place dedicated to the "rescue and care of abandoned and mistreated animals. It's so amazing all the beautiful animals there are so friendly and gentle, you would think they would be scared of people, but it's like they know there. It's magical. I would urge any animal lover to visit.

It's a BOY!


My belly finally "popped" around week 18. I started feeling better, less chubby and more officially pregnant. Shortly after the 19 week mark we found out we were having a BOY at the anatomy scan ultrasound. So excited! I've been spending my afternoons daydreaming about him, shopping online and waiting to feel those little kicks.

hello there!


I've never been able to follow through with maintaining a blog. I'm not a writer, not even close. I started this to keep in touch with blogging friends, other first time moms and so that I have a place to keep some photos, thoughts, links, misc. from here until December.

I'm sure there's going to be lots that I'll want to look back & remember.
So here we are at 14 weeks, one trimester down, two more to go!
