The very next day after our weary travels from Indy to Phoenix, we started birthing classes. Probably not the best time emotionally to start such a venture, but it’s worked out. First we viewed a video of several different types of births—without medication, with an epidural, C-section, and using forceps. I must admit that I [...]
Maternity Photos by Laura
My cousin, who is enrolled in a photography class, needed subjects for her portrait photo shoot assignment. Before we flew to Maryland, she asked if Stephen and I would mind getting some pictures taken while we were on the farm. I had been hoping and planning to get some maternity pictures, so I jumped on [...]
Indiana Surprise
Posted in Baby, Current Events, Family, Pregnancy by Elisabeth Moody on August 20th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
The look on Mom’s face was worth it. Worth the long hours in the car and the swollen feet and ankles. She came out into the living room confused as to why the dogs were barking, and then she saw Stephen. She gasped and hugged him so tightly. After the funeral in MD, we rode [...]
Celebrating Stephen
I’m a bit late on this post, but I didn’t want to skip over Stephen’s birthday. He turned 29 on July 28th—his last year in the 20’s! I stopped by his office with a breakfast sandwich and a little birthday sign to let his co-workers know what a momentous day it was. For dinner that [...]
Week 25
One of Stephen’s favorite sites is thinkgeek.com. For those of you science and computer nerds who have not yet discovered it’s geeky awesomeness, please stop reading and check out the site right now! When I saw this ThinkGeek maternity shirt a few years ago, I knew it was a must-have. Stephen surprised me with it [...]
Baby is a Boy
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Psalm 21:2 This was the verse that I repeated to the Lord after Stephen and I saw the ultrasound confirming that we are having a son! From the very beginning we’ve hoped our baby was a boy. I have [...]
Waiting…then Whirlwind on Winslow Avenue
The Wait You may be thinking, “What in the world took Stephen and Elisabeth so very long to close on their house?” I’ve wondered that myself! We looked at the house in late March, bid on it the end of March, but then didn’t close until June 4th. First of all, I’m learning that the [...]
“Big B, little b, what begins with B?”
B is for blizzards. A butterfinger blizzard and a caramel brownie blizzard from DQ were fun treats tonight. Stephen had a buy one, get one free coupon which made them taste even better. B is for baby registry. Tonight we ventured into a new wonderland of baby gear. I must say it was overwhelming for [...]
Heartbeats
Mommy and Daddy were able to hear Baby’s heartbeat yesterday. I love that sound best of all! Now that I’m entering my 2nd trimester, I’m just barely starting to enjoy being pregnant—mostly because my morning sickness is starting to decrease. I still have to be careful to get enough rest and eat small snacks throughout [...]
