Shelby's initial pregnancy post

Hello everyone!

My name is Shelby Burgr (soon to be Wilson, still working on getting my name changed..).  I am married to the most wonderful man I have met, Weston Wilson.  We were married on September 12th, 2009.  We're young, and like it that way.  Although, I could deal without some of the looks I get when people find out we're "only almost twenty".  We l...

I received "Rules for my Unborn Son" by Walker Lamond, which was released on October 27th.  I was pleasantly surprised by it's retro look & feel and couldn't wait to crack the book open.

Laugh and Learn About Childbirth, author Sheri Bayles, RN, BSN

Review by pregnancy blogger, Jenny Ford, owner of Monkey-Toes.com:


 

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and it’s been almost 8 years since my youngest Ella was born.  You could say I’m a little out of practice with whole child birthing thing – and I am back to being slightly freaked out about it as if it were my very first time.  My husband and I decided n...

We've been big fans of Tracy Mallett since we first launched our blog back in 2007 when my son was born.  Tracy was our 'fitness guru' back then, and we continue to promote her today.  When our website had an overhaul last summer, we lost a lot of our original content from the early days.  Now we're catching up and getting all of our favorites back. <...

personalized toddler fork and spoon

In the past, I would find beautiful sterling or stainless steel spoons and get them engraved with the new baby's name and give it as a gift for a newborn.  It's been a family tradition.  However, some people don't appreciate the vintage sterling spoons anymore.  So I guess new is better, right?  Here's a product set that solves my problem - a hand-stamped custom fork ...

Laugh and Learn DVD for Newborns

I reviewed this DVD when my son was an infant.  It has all sorts of basic tips on what to do from changing a diaper, to bathing, to burping and feeding.  If you haven't a clue as to what to do as first-time parents, this is a fun and easy way to learn (without getting bugged by your in-laws with unsolicited advice!)


I had my son after a 14 year hiatus of giving bir...

Shelby's ultrasound - it's a girl!

4 months-


While my friend was here, I was scheduled for my first big ultrasound. Guess what?! It's a girl! I was honestly so shocked that the ultrasound lady had to tell me about three times. I couldn't believe it! I was so sure it would be a boy since my husband comes from all boys. It just seemed like that's how it would b...

pamper yourself when pregnant

Let's start at the three month mark. Family events aside, this month was pretty normal. Sick, crabby, tired, etc.  I even had to go to the ER from losing too much weight! My husband and I jumped into the car in the middle of the night to head to a hospital.  According to the nurse that I talked to, losing 20 pounds in your first trimester is a no-no and I neede...

I should have known by the sudden and uncontrollable urge to bleach my bathroom floor and scrub the baseboards that I was going to be delivering soon. We had that induction date of the 23rd in place and I think both Tim and I just resigned to the fact that I would be delivering on that day – whic...
