Ireland – Day 2 (Tuesday)
We were able to sleep in until 9 Dublin time. Just before we got up, members of Herma’s family from the US came in. She has a sister who lives in North Carolina with her husband and 4 children. I got a shower and was able to get dressed before meeting everyone. By the time [...]
Ireland – First day (Monday)
As I said in the last post, we just got in at 6:15 am, by the time we collected all of our luggage, it was closer to 7:15. Matt and Marty were the first two people we saw at the airport. Sarah and Fergus (Herma’s parents) met up with us shortly after. They needed to [...]
Ireland – Travel day
Our trip to Ireland has finally come!
We were fortunate enough to have some help in the packing and getting ready for the trip. My parents came down the Tuesday night to help watch the kids and whatever else we needed done. I was finished packing Morgan and Miina by Friday night. We [...]
Big Day for Miina
Yesterday was a huge day for Miina. While I was at work, Josh stayed home with the girls as he always does. Well, he put Miina on the floor to play with some of the toys we’d found in the basement. She does this new thing where she grabs her legs, while [...]
Welcome Miina
We welcomed Miina Vine Pokorny into our family at 4:56am, on Saturday, June 7, 2008.
Friday night (June 6th) was pretty much like every other night for the last few weeks of the pregnancy, uncomfortable and sleepless. For some reason, Friday night I was having more trouble than usual falling asleep. I tried changing [...]
Interesting Night
As of Friday, I was 37 weeks. My doctor had already warned me that since as
of my 35 1/2 wk visit I was dilated to 1+ there was a chance I may not make
it to June 10th. They consider anything beyond 3 wks full and would take
the baby should I go into labor any time [...]
35 – 35.5 wks
Only I can hurt myself making dinner. The other night I reached down to grab something from the oven and felt a strain in my back. It was instantly painful and I could barely stand up straight. By the time I got the dish to the counter I could barely breathe. I was able to [...]
Mother’s Day
It was a nice, relaxing and yet productive weekend. Josh’s parents were able to come up and help us get started on the baby’s room. They arrived around 11pm Friday night, so Josh and I stayed up for them. We had a lot to get done, so we were up bright and [...]
Past few weekends….
Toby had his second visit to the vet in town (3rd since we’ve had him) for what I thought would be a quick booster shot. Well, it ended up being a complete exam, which was ok. He gained another 3+ lbs putting him at 11.6. He was around 6 when we got him, so he’s [...]
Puppy Kindergarden
Last night was our 2nd to last class (next week is our last). Toby was pretty antsy on the way there. Josh and Morgan stayed home and Morgan proves to be more of a distraction than anything. She was a little disapointed because she didn’t get to see “Gust” (a cute golden retriever called Gus). [...]
