Let’s see what else I can get stressed about, shall we?

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 30, 2007

So my urologist appointment is a week from today and I’m starting to feel anxious about that. I feel like I need to see a nephrologist or someone with more knowledge of kidney stone disease, but there’s nobody here in Small Town, USA. We have excellent hospitals at UNC or Duke which are [...]

Infertility, explained.

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 28, 2007

No wonder we couldn’t get pregnant!  I was going about it all wrong.  According to J, you have to eat carrots and peanut butter to get a baby.  Since the very idea of carrots and peanut butter together sounds a little gross, I guess I now know where we screwed up.
Other J tidbits…he wants me [...]

I love Harry Potter. (No spoilers!)

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 26, 2007

We left for MB Friday, so we were down there when the book was released.  D and I went to Wal-Mart at 11PM (because it was the closest and easiest place) to get the book and a few other things.  I wore C in the Mei Tai and once I got there, had to get [...]

I hate Myrtle Beach.

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 25, 2007

Way too many people in a too small area.  We spent a few days there with the ILs and I’m so glad to be home.  I’m looking forward to going to Topsail in September…that beach is MUCH more my speed!  There are very few people on the south end of the island and it’s very [...]

Yummy Pasta Dish

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 17, 2007

I have a very easy (and very tasty!) pasta dish I like to make, but I haven’t made it in a long time. We had it last night though and I thought I’d share.
Go to the grocery store. Buy some filled pasta (tortellini, ravioli) in the refrigerated section. Buy some green pesto, [...]

Well, I did it.

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 13, 2007

Just ordered a Nikon D40 from Amazon.  Other places had lower prices, but shipping was $20+ to get it 2 day.  I have Amazon Prime, so I get free 2 day shipping.  Or 1 day shipping for $3.99, which is what I ended up doing.  It worked out to be slightly cheaper that way, so [...]

Blathering about Harry Potter!

Posted by: Melissa W on: July 11, 2007

The next 10 days are BIG in Potter-land. Well, starting yesterday @ midnight, anyway. The movie was released today, of course. I don’t know when I’ll get to see it. That requires a babysitter, and since I cannot get past my phone phobia to dial the phone and ask our sitter [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
