Welcome to Carrots! I'm so glad you're here. This is where I share thoughts on liturgical living, faith, parenting, culture, and an extra dose of Jane Austen. You can sign up for my email newsletter here to stay in touch, or look me up on Instagram!
Today you can find me over at Mama and Baby Love sharing about how I almost became “The Smug Mom.”
In other news, it’s Baby Gwen’s due date (c’mon little Carrot!) and my sweet, sweet, saintly mother just picked up the other two kids so that I can TAKE A NAP. Heavenly, no?! I feel so sleepy that I don’t even WANT to go into labor because I don’t have the energy. Thank you, Mom! I’m sure I’m feel so much better after a good nap and then I have an acupuncture appointment this afternoon to see if we can get things moving and meet this sweet baby!
Prayers appreciated! This mama is ready to be holding a baby instead of waddling around and groaning about still being pregnant 
Amen a million times to your smug mom post! Lots of prayers to St. Gerard for you!
Thanks! I appreciate the prayers so much, Kate!
There is a full moon this weekend. You will have your little one by then, for sure!
Ugh. I hope so! Feeling like I’ll be pregnant forever
Prayers for a safe delivery… and soon! I’m 33 weeks and doing some waddling of my own.
Thanks, Bethe!
Praying! Love the linked post you wrote!
Thanks, Elizabeth!
Happy due date! She’s bound to arrive soon.
I’m sooooo ready!
Yayy! I liked the entry. By the way I got Les Mis! We haven’t watched it yet but I am SO EXCITED!!
Come, baby Gwen, come!!
Oh yay! I’m glad it made it there!
Hang in there Haley! I had my Cass on May 14, 4 days overdue, and those 4 days were so very long. I did everything but castor oil, too, but she came on her own time. Prayers for a safe and beautiful delivery.
Lucy was 10 days late and it was……awful, haha. Gwen’s only 2 days late so far…and it feels like an age
Thanks for your prayers!
The last bit is SO HARD! I was seven days past with my second, and there were no affirming words that made me feel better. So, all I’ve got is: xoxo!
I went TEN DAYS late with Lucy so I’m just bracing myself for another week, but trying to stay hopeful that it will be this weekend. Thanks for the love!
