Nibbling on Shelbie's delicious chocolate chip cookie dough

January is National Sanctity of Life month. This video has been going around on Youtube, facebook and other sites to show people the Miracle of pregnancy and a baby's life.

It's an incredible video, absolutely amazing in every way.

New blog content--highs and lows

Something that my parents started doing at dinner times about.....6 years ago(?) was every evening after a meal, Daddy would say: "Highs and Lows." We'd start at one end of the table, and work our way around, each person stating the "High" --the best part-- of their day and the "Low" --the worst part-- of their day. It's always been fun to come together at the end of a day and hear about every one's best and worst parts of the day.

This tradition is still going in the Ney house, and I have no doubt that in 10 years when many of us are married with children of our own, we will still be doing highs and lows when we are all gathered around for a meal together. I hope to keep this tradition running in Jeff and my family as well, as I'm sure my siblings will do with their own families.

For now though, I have decided to add "Highs and Lows" to my blog posting. I'll try to do it daily, but I'm not going to make any promises...you all know how I am with making "I'll post daily promises." ;-) I'll do it in the evenings, after my day has come to an end.

Hopefully, since this is an easy enough goal, I will be able to keep up and be faithful with posting daily.

27 week sono video

This obviously isn't a video of MY baby, but I decided in celebration of the 3rd trimester, I'd post a video of a 27 week sonogram. It's amazing to see what our baby (aproximately) looks like!! And its super cool to see the movements they make at this stage...now I know what some of those little flutters, kicks and nudges are!
