❤ Infertility & Pregnancy ❤

My husband and I struggled with infertility for 4 years before we conceived our first child, Ava. I have shared our infertility journey, as well as updates throughout my (high risk) first pregnancy. I had a very scary delivery with Ava - I wrote all about it and I continued to write monthly updates on Ava after she was born!

We were then blessed with a SURPRISE pregnancy, something we didn't think would be possible for us! Liam was conceived when Ava was 10 months old, but I didn't realize I was pregnant until after her first birthday! I wrote monthly updates on Liam as well - life with 2 kids under 2 is crazy, but so much fun!

23 Weeks

Hey, I'm actually posting this on time this week!  Maybe it's because I've been awake since 5 this morning.  For no good reason.  (But I did wake up thinking about a big, juicy cheeseburger. And a cup of coffee.) And what a looooong week it's been! We got a sleet storm of about 4 inches of accumulation followed by another inch or two of snow on Sunday night. The sleet froze into ice, basically paralyzingly the area.  I don't think the streets had been pretreated, although I saw trucks putting down liquid de-icer about a week before the sleet came through.  And because this area is not accustomed or prepared for such weather, everything shut down.  All of post was shut down- not even Burger King was open.  And even the mall closed. It takes a lot for the whole mall to close.  And I don't know what else because I didn't leave the house until last night.  I heard...

A Pregnant Woman's Guide to Maternity Clothes

Being pregnant with my first child, I had zero experience maternity clothes shopping. I had no idea what sizes I would need nor what products would work for me. Given that every body type is so different, and each pregnancy is so different, this post will simply serve as a guide and just a place to start. Ultimately, you will have to make some decisions yourself on what will work best for you. I just thought I'd share what I have learned in this first pregnancy. When Should I Start Buying Maternity Clothes? To me, this question has a simple and easy answer. NOW. (or, as soon as you find out you are pregnant.) Here's why: CLEARANCE . Take advantage of that clearance rack! If you buy as soon as you find out you are pregnant, the clothes on clearance are going to be the right season for when you are in your third trimester. I did a little shopping in the first trimester (early winter) and I got great summer tanks and maxi dresses for a ...

Just Keep Swimming

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is that I want this blog to be. I feel as though I am getting closer. Ultimately, this will be a tool to keep in contact with family and friends after we PCS (Permanent Change of Station) to Ft. Campbell, KY . Not that facebook can't serve the same purpose, although a blog leans more towards storytelling as opposed to plastering a sentence or two that your 600 friends, acquaintances, and coworkers will see. And maybe, just maybe, if I can REALLY get the hang of things, I can blog tutorials of my favorite projects or recipes or discoveries in my Army life.  Currently I seem to be in a perpetual pit of quicksand. Any quick movements or attempts to get myself out of this mess just get me more overwhelmed. So I am coasting instead. Everything is out of my control right now, so there's no need to fight it. Sure, I may not know when I am moving, or how much notice I'll get when it's time to pack up, or even when I'l...
