Have you seen this face?

Can you believe I made that kid?    In the past few weeks, my sweet Dee has gone from tiny little person larvae, to full blown baby.    It’s awesome.   I knew this girl was going to have personality from the first time she played bongos on my cervix, and holy-baby-jesus-in-a-manger is it starting to show.    She’s a laughaholic.   I’m actually concerned… Read more →
