The tedious process of sorting through, getting rid of, and packing our belongings is FINALLY over (thanks to the generous and priceless help of our family!).  We loaded the moving van last Sunday, with the help family and a handful of friends from church, and spent the rest of the week living the simple life… [...]

Enter the Roomba

June 20, 2008 by Ryan Barr

We’ve just picked up a Roomba for the Barr family household.  It is a fantastic little tool!  For those of you that are not familiar with the iRobot Roomba, it’s a little electronic robot vacum. Last night we picked up the Roomba at Coscto, plugged him in and then set it loose.  It was pretty [...]

May 14, 2008 by Megan

BOY!!! Doc says he measures perfectly normal, and he has all his parts. We were excited and relieved to find out that A) he’s a he, and B) he’s very healthy. It was truly amazing to watch his little face come into view on the ultrasound screen (just the regular 2D kind), and the doctor [...]

On Saturday, Ryan and I walked in the March of Dimes’ March for Babies along w/ 11 other Stroller Strides Modesto teammates.  The weather was beautiful (not nearly as hot as last year!), and everyone was in really good spirits.  As a team, we managed to raise over $2000.  I was able to contribute $550, [...]

March for Babies

March 3, 2008 by Megan

For the second year in a row, I’m excited about taking part in Modesto’s March for Babies (formerly WalkAmerica). The March of Dimes works hard to research the causes and cures for premature birth, birth defects, and infant mortality. The hope is that someday, all babies will be born healthy.

Movin’ and Shakin’

February 12, 2008 by Megan

So the past couple of weeks haven’t been without issue… Aside from morning/noon/night sickness, I’ve been back in to see the doc a couple of times with some scary moments. During one of these appointments, an ovarian cyst was discovered. They say they’re very normal during pregnancy and often go away on their own… just [...]

One Step in the Right Direction

January 19, 2008 by Megan

So I had my Intake appointment with the nurse on Thursday… it’s the one where they review all your medical history (again!). They ordered the normal blood panels and other tests that all pregnant ladies get, plus a quantitative hcg test. In the past, this means I’ve had to take one blood test, and then [...]
