Baby Diary: milestones

some of the "pregnancy milestones" you go through seem like the biggest deal to you, but they are not that big of a deal to basically everyone else. but. because they are such a big deal to me, and this is my blog, i'm gonna do an entire post about them just so they get the attention i feel they deserve. :)
