Mommie Says...
"Being pregnant, I am too tired to work out at the end of the day, so I try to work out during the day. Walking to the coffe shop on my lunch break, taking the stairs, and sometimes doing squats makes a difference!"

8 Ways Your Baby Says I Love You
(From Mommie Tips)
Let's be real. Babies this little are not going to give you the kind of feedback you might desperately wish for after that grueling labor and those sleepless nights. But as you and your baby get to know each other, you'll get glimmers that a bond is forming, and that can be more meaningful than a big declaration of love. "Attachment is a process," says Debbie Laible, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Lehigh University. When you take care of your baby, he falls more in love with you every day, and says thanks in his own baby ways:
3 Tips for Preventing Gas (From Pregnancy Tips)
One of the early symptoms of pregnancy is an increase in gassiness, bloating, belching, and overall gastrointestinal discomfort. Unfortunately, the condition can last in varying degrees until delivery. Everyone has gas and it is eliminated by burping, or passing it through the rectum. Gas is made primarily of odorless vapors such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and sometimes methane. The unpleasant odor of gas comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain sulfur.
Terrible Twos and Your Toddler (From Mommie Tips)
No one looks forward to the terrible twos, a developmental stage that usually begins sometime in the toddler years. Although many parents don't expect the terrible twos to start until their toddler is two years old, it is important to note that it can begin anytime during your child's second year, and so anytime after their first birthday, and unfortunately, sometimes even before. Characterized by toddlers being negative about most things and often saying 'no', the terrible twos may also find your toddler having frequent mood changes and temper tantrums.
Six Treats to Satisfy Any Pregnancy Craving (From Pregnancy Tips)
There are roughly 270 days between conception and your introduction to your little bundle of joy. Strap in for the ride and be prepared to flip your life upside-down for this mini guy or girl. Your to-do list is packed: pick up prenatal vitamins, paint the baby's room, delegate a friend to plan the baby shower and pick out a health care provider. Sometimes meal planning is the last thing on your mind.

Most of my Sunday evenings, despite one or two toddler temper tantrums from Isabel, are pretty predictable. After we put Isabel to bed around 8pm, we relax and enjoy our rented movie of the week.
