Hello 2nd trimester!
I entered my 2nd trimester in early August {but am still waiting for some more energy…I think it’s a myth}  Right as I hit my 12th week of pregnancy I took another bold move {because, you know, moving into a small condo & finding out you’re expecting just isn’t enough excitement for one summer} and finally left my “day job” at a marketing firm in Charlotte...

Seeing as how I was supposed to be relaxing in my “delicate...

The ULTIMATE souvenir
Back in the spring we took a little jaunt across the pond with both sets of parents to London & Paris. It was a FABULOUS trip! Little did we know when we got home to Charlotte {just as we prepared to move from our house in the suburbs into a much smaller condo closer to town} we discovered that we had the ultimate souvenir from our trip! Got this lovely little surprise on Father’s...

Welcome to our nook!
Better late than never! Here’s where I’ll post about my first pregnancy and our preparation for Baby Stawick to arrive in February 2012. This way I figure I keep all the “gory” details off of Facebook (because it personally drives me CRAZY when I see too much preggo info on the FB) and you can leave comments & questions and I can share all the fun {and sometimes not so...
