He's here. And he's been here for over a year now. So I'm feeling pretty on top of it. ;)  His name is Shepherd D Robertson. We call him Shep. He was born at 36 weeks and 4 days and came in at a whopping 7 lbs 13 oz, 19 inches long. Possibly the biggest preemie in all the land.  To make a...

Baby bump decided to pop today. Finally.  23 weeks and 4 days. You know what I decided?? I think I'd rather be asked if I was pregnant when I wasn't, than to be told I don't look pregnant when I am. Lately so many people have told me that I "don't even look pregnant." People who know me, and people who don't. To...

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Monday (1 week late!) and we saw Baby again. I can't believe how much he has grown, only bits and pieces of his body fit on the screen and it is all just so crazy. I noticed myself having really bad anxiety lately and I couldn't figure out why. A few weeks ago I was laying...
