Pregnancy is beautiful!

Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes (I only wish I pulled it off so nicely!) But this past Friday I spent some time with an old friend I have known since middle school and did a photo shoot for her. She is pregnant and due very soon! I never took pregnancy photos with either of [...]

A Little Girl is Born

Reading time: 8 – 13 minutes There is a perfectly good excuse for my absence the past two weeks — I have been recovering from giving birth to my second little girl, Katelyn. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions, both good and bad. No matter the emotion, though, having two wonderful [...]

Facing another frank breech baby.

Reading time: 4 – 7 minutes The past week for me has been a whirlwind of emotions; disappointment, excitement, anticipation all rolled into one. Last Tuesday we went to our high risk appointment and they did an ultrasound (as they do every visit) confirming that Katelyn (daughter #2) is still breech, and comfortably so. She [...]

Summer in the Florida Sun (a 2 year old’s dream!)

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes For the longest time the playground intimidated my little hesitant toddler. Stairs? What are stairs? We don’t have stairs! But as you know, playgrounds are full of them! For the longest time, Carli treated the playground as if we were slowly torturing her. How DARE we push her to [...]

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: I am so in LOVE! <3

Reading time: < 1 minute Click HERE to participate in Wordless Wednesdays. Here are some fresh pictures of Katelyn, taken as of today. I don’t believe I can possibly be MORE in love with someone I’ve never met!

Bab(ies) Updates: The Toddler & The Fetus

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes I promised my mother-in-law (through my husband) that I would update on the bab(ies). It’s probably a good idea, though, mainly because Carli is doing so many new things that it’d be nice to write them down and remember. I haven’t even been taking a lot of belly pictures, [...]

You know you’re pregnant when..#Knitting

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes You have the insatiable hunger to “make” things. How old fashioned am I? I decided that after years of playing around with knitting – I am going to learn to do it and do it well. (Never too old to learn). So I started sewing up this here soaker. [...]

We’re having a little…

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes // GIRL! Those who are on my facebook are already well-aware of the fact (as well as the pregnancy message boards I frequent). But for my blog readers who DON’T know.. there you have it. In late July 2010 we shall be expecting little Katelyn Rain! I liked this [...]

Showing off Bug’s Cloth Diaper Stash!

Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes Have been working hard on pulling this stash together. I want it to be completed (XS &  Newborn all the way to Large) by the time this kiddo arrives in late July. So far I have quite a few Cloth Couture’s, a few Dillon & Claires, and some WAHM [...]

Seeing a High-Risk Fetal Doctor.. #Ultrasound #Pics

Reading time: 4 – 7 minutes My latest OBGYN recommended to me on Monday that he would like for me to see a High-Risk specialist. Why? Well – when Carli was born she was only 5lbs, 4oz at almost 38 weeks gestation. The average weight around 37 weeks is about 6.5lbs. Obviously, Carli was not [...]

Tuna, beneficial in Pregnant & Breastfeeding Women?

Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine. One of the biggest myths we’re faced with today is to avoid seafood, especially tuna. With high-level mercury fishes being correlated to fetal issues (primarily Autism) pregnant women are hesitant to eat [...]

Update on the “Bug” #Pregnancy #VBAC #Doula

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes Last week I went to a new OBGYN in Winter Park, as recommended to me by a friend. As it turns out, it is a small practice as their hours are by appointment only. So the wait was literally, less than 5 minutes. I went in, filled out a [...]

Our Very Merry Christmas Catchup!

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes It’s been a busy, busy holiday! Our little toddler, Miss Carli – was spoiled beyond comprehension! We woke up early that morning and got her ready for the festivities at my parents house. As per the picture to the left – you can tell it was a “I just [...]

Tired ALL the Time!

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes I know in part it has to do with just being pregnant – but, my GOD – I am tired ALL the time. I usually nap when Carli does – and sometimes (as Forrest has been home this week) I will sleep until the evening time. Still, though – [...]

Mickey’s Very Merry Xmas Party

Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes The only thing that I don’t quite understand about Disney’s Christmas Party, is that for something made for children – the hours surely aren’t anything to be recommended. 7pm+? Carli enjoyed all of an hour and a half before she just got way too tired. By 9:30, when the [...]
