Are there ever easy choices?
By: Mallory on: Feb 9,2012 In: Body, Family, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentAbout 2 weeks ago, I took Scarlett to see the pediatric urologist specialist. To be completely honest, I didn’t really want to go. I kind of thought we’d go, they’d check her, see that she doesn’t have a UTI and send us home. I really thought it’d be a waste of time. So I went [...]

By: Mallory on: Jan 27,2012 In: Emotions, Family, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentScarlett and Isla,
Happy 7 months, girls! Things around here have been crazy lately, thus why I’m writing a joint letter you to girls. I’d love to write you each an individual letter, but sometimes, life just gets too hectic. Plus, this letter is over a week late, so I just wanted to get something down [...]
Her ultrasound is clear
By: Mallory on: Jan 20,2012 In: Body, Emotions, Mommyhood, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentThe doctor’s office called this afternoon. From the moment I woke up until they called, I was on pins and needles. I took my phone with me everywhere. To the bathroom, to Des’ room when I changed his diaper, to the laundry room when I started the new load. It was never not by my [...]
Trying to not panic
By: Mallory on: Jan 19,2012 In: Body, Emotions, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentWe took Scarlett in last week for her follow up on her UTI. When we took her to the hospital and they diagnosed it, they put her on an IV antibiotic there and sent us home with antibiotics. She was on the home ones for 1o days. So, about a week after she finished the [...]

The little Sumo wrestlers
By: Mallory on: Jan 18,2012 In: Body, Isla's Development, Mommyhood, My amazing husband, My lovely Isla, My lovely Scarlett, Scarlett's DevelopmentA few weeks ago, Ricky and I had a lengthy discussion about the girls’ hair. Okay, really, I just babbled for 20 minutes about their hair and whether or not we should give them bangs while Ricky listened. And after talking his ear off, we decided that we would let the girls’ hair grow out [...]

About this blog
My name is Mallory. I’m a socially awkward person and really stink at making small talk. It’s something I’m working on, but if we ever meet in person, I apologize in advance for all the uncomfortable silences. I love dirty jokes – the dirtier the better. So, when we meet and I’m being awkward, tell me a dirty joke and I’ll get more comfortable.
I’m married to Ricky. He’s a firefighter/paramedic. We’ve known each other since I was 12 and have been a couple since I was 16. He’s really silly and I love that about him. He makes me happy. I really like him.
We had a baby in 2009. His name is Desmond and we love him. He’s amazing and we basically think he’s one of the greatest kids in the world.
In 2011, we had identical twin girls, Scarlett and Isla. We also think they are amazing and they are the two other greatest kids in the world.
This blog is meant to be a chronicle of our life together.
