You know how everybody always says every pregnancy is different? I think in many cases that’s true, but there’s one thing that my first and second pregnancies share: the nesting instinct. I nested the crap out of the place when I was pregnant with Kellan.

Ever stop to think about what makes you happy? Really, truly happy?

I normally don’t spout off much about politics here on AnchorMommy, but right now, I feel I have no choice. Something very disturbing is happening in my beautiful home state of Idaho: funding for Idaho Public Television could soon be phased out — for good.

It’s time. I’ve tried to deny it, but my body is insisting. It’s time for maternity pants.
I’ve been using a rubber band on my jeans so I don’t have to button them all the way, and it sorta works, but it’s a little uncomfortable. So I hauled out my big tub of maternity clothes [...]

If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing about my life, I would make it so my best friend and I could live in the same town. She came to visit me this weekend, and wouldn’t you know it — I don’t think I have one picture of the two of us together.

I am SO RELIEVED. I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders. I think I’m pretty good at keeping secrets, but I am TERRIBLE at keeping my own. When people have asked me how I’m doing lately, I’ve been biting my tongue to keep from blurting out, “I’m tired! I’m pregnant! I would really like a glass of wine, but I am tired and pregnant!”

Today’s the day! The day I FINALLY get to tell all of you about the major development unfolding for me in 2010 — a development which will be the second biggest undertaking of my life to date.
This is the announcement I alluded to in A Look Back at 2009. Number six on the 2010 list, specifically.

This is a typo I’ve been hanging on to for a while. I spotted it on Christmas Eve, and now that my holiday spirit has dwindled, I don’t feel bad making fun of it. Yay!
So. Heath care, huh? The Senate passed the heath care bill. Great. All this time, they were supposed to be working [...]

When 2009 began, I had NO CLUE it would turn out the way it has. I had zero intentions of making any major life changes, but things quickly began to change as the year got underway.

Hello and welcome to AnchorMommy, 2010 style. I’m not exactly sure what that means. It just kinda sounds cool.
I’ve missed you, my friends! My Christmas blogging break was quite nice. Busy, but nice. We did all the usual Christmas stuff — last-minute shopping and gift wrapping, cookie baking, cleaning, cooking…

Well, here we go. Just a few more days until Christmas. I have a few more things to wrap, some Santa gifts to assemble, a Christmas party to attend and some housecleaning/grocery shopping/cooking/baking to do. Easy, right? Honestly, I need a nap just thinking about all of it.
