It’s true. You have no idea how many times I think this statement every single day of my life. Below is my “Everything.” I’m not claiming I’ve mastered these things (thank God I have actual parenting to help me with that…) 😉 but I sure have taken a pretty good go at them! I’ve been… Continue reading Everything I Need To Know About Parenting, I Learned From Pregnancy

3D Ultrasound of our little man!
So a couple weeks ago, we couldn’t help but shell out a bit of cash to get a second glimpse at our little baby boy. The first ultrasound was sooo amazing, and the thought of being able to peek at him again was a temptation we couldn’t resist. 3D-4D ultrasound is just incredible. There are… Continue reading 3D Ultrasound of our little man!
Good Morning, 2011
This is what I woke up to on New Year’s Day, 2011. And the words, “Good morning, 2011!” rang through my head. I could see God smiling down at me like he was saying, “Look at this ‘Good Morning’ that I saved for 1-1-11!! Isn’t it beautiful?!? I’m so glad you’re awake to see it…”… Continue reading Good Morning, 2011
Chubby Bunny…Welcome to the Third Trimester
Maybe it was the restless night of sleep last night that made the circles under my eyes larger than normal or the fact that I threw up for the third time this week this morning that contributed to my slightly swollen-looking cheeks, but for the first time this pregnancy–every time I looked in the mirror… Continue reading Chubby Bunny…Welcome to the Third Trimester
The Tale of the Second Chromosome
I couldn’t sleep last night, because all I did all night long was dream and think about the fact that today we would find out such a special part of who our baby is. Today was our 20 week ultrasound, that would tell us if God has given us a boy or a girl. I was… Continue reading The Tale of the Second Chromosome
For Better or For Worse
God gave me the most incredible husband on the face of this earth and beyond. I’ve thought many-a-times over the last few months, “So this is what they mean when they say, ‘or for worse’….” I’ve heard a lot of people reference vomiting as one of the first “for worses” (I know that’s not a… Continue reading For Better or For Worse
Officially showing…14 Weeks!
From the moment we informed people about our pregnancy, people have been saying to me, “Well you look great!” Which, I’ll be honest, has baffled me a bit. Were they expecting me to gain 50 pounds upon conception? I’d BETTER look great NOW or else I’d have a REAL problem in 8 months! 🙂I lost a… Continue reading Officially showing…14 Weeks!
August Madness Part 2
As if growing a baby, throwing up multiple times a day and being in two weddings weren’t enough challenges for the month of August, we decided to go Mazatlan. As many of you know, other than spiders & heights, I’m not scared of too many things. Especially international travel. Let me remind you that I… Continue reading August Madness Part 2
“The Baby Moby Story”
So there we were at church on a Wednesday night, and my pastor came up to me and said, “Are you pregnant?” “No!” I quickly responded.Without hesitation, he asked again. “Are you SURE?”At which point, I paused, did some quick thinking and calculations and replied, “No….”And he just shrugged his shoulders with a little smirk and… Continue reading “The Baby Moby Story”
The Journey to Mazatlan
Here is my recount of the journey to Mexico, taken out of my journal from August 11, 2010: As I kneeled over the poop-streaked toilet in the SeaTac Airport heaving and gagging and throwing up the final remains of stomach bile left inside of me, I thought, “You know, this could be a lot worse.”… Continue reading The Journey to Mazatlan
