I've hit that marvelous milestone in maternity- 20 weeks. The miraculous half way point (or in my case, usually just beyond half way, as my babes never tend to take a full 40 weeks) and I have got to tell you, I'm experiencing the oddest combination of "Dear Lord, I'm not ready!!!" And "thank goodness … Continue reading Pre-Baby Inventory/ Mom-ing Goals
