Baby Balance: Welcome Lil’ Chica, A VBAC Birth Story
http://babybalance.blogspot.com/2014/08/welcome-lil-chica-vbac-birth-story.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Welcome Lil’ Chica, A VBAC Birth Story. She’s here, she’s here! Lil’ Chica *finally* made her grand entrance one week and one day after her much-anticipated due date. Later than anticipated and still right on time. And, once she decided it was time, she came pretty quickly! Maybe a little too quickly. It all started the Tuesday after my Friday due date. Got that? That was Friday morning, one full week past my due date. Oh, did they ever bring it on! Thankfully, the staff was e...

Risotto Family: January 2013
http://risottofamily.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. One of the great perks of my shower weekend was getting to have Shelby, one of my bestest friends in the whole world, here for the weekend. Perk: she's a photographer, so she immortalized Justin and me (and Chance) with the bump. What do you think? Saturday, January 26, 2013. Colors and books and literary-themed food - oh my! As soon as I walked into Erika's house, it was clear they had redone everything. For the shower - wow! While our nursery is. Yes, they all are. You can't r...

Risotto Family: June 2013
http://risottofamily.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. Photo shoot ala Andrew. Andrew is now 14 weeks old! Amazing how wonderful and strangely normal the last 3 months have been for us. I guess that means we're falling pretty naturally into this whole parenting thing (praise the Lord! Of course, it helps when your son is the best, cutest, smartest baby that every was. :D. Captions are written from Andrew's perspective. (My own thoughts are in parentheses, when relevant.) What are your favorites? Look guys, I hold my head up so well!

Risotto Family: Goodnight Moon-Themed Shower
http://risottofamily.blogspot.com/2013/01/goodnight-moon-themed-shower.html
Saturday, January 12, 2013. When Brittany, a lovely friend from my Marrieds Group at church, offered to host a brunch shower to welcome Risotto, I knew I was in good hands. Little did I know just how good! She went with a Goodnight Moon theme, and from invitations to food to decor, she outdid herself. Many thanks to her and her band of angels - Heidi, Devon, and Melissa in particular. From Italian-themed brunch dishes (including Lemon Artichoke Risotto) to a Goodnight Moon board game for decor (who knew?

Thursday, September 27, 2012. I felt you today! I think I've felt you before, but today was the first time I really knew. Today was our Real Heroes breakfast for work, so I don't know if it was my arising at 4:30 am (I hope not!

Risotto Family: Hiccups!
http://risottofamily.blogspot.com/2013/01/hiccups.html
Monday, January 14, 2013. This morning, Risotto had hiccups for the first time! I loved it. At first I thought we were playing a game - he pushed, then I pushed back, and then he pushed again, and so on. But when the game kept going on for minutes on end, I realized he probably didn't know we were playing a game and maybe it was a reflex instead. Justin and I felt a little bit bad for him, because he can't have a spoonful of sugar or hold his breath to get them to go away. View my complete profile.
