Tomorrow will mark 34 weeks. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t already feel like it’s the end. It’s not. I have 6 full weeks left till I am 40 weeks pregnant. So soon, yet so very far away. I want to meet my new little man. I want him to stop kicking me [...]

It’s that time of year again. Tour Time. I’ll admit that I was a bit of a fair weather friend. Once Lance retired it didn’t have quite the same excitement as it did before. But he’s back. And so am I. The Tour reminds me of good times. My skinny summer with Claire where all [...]
