This pregnancy seems to be flying by. In the beginning, I felt like I was already pregnant forever, but I think that was because I was feeling sick for awhile. I think because the morning sickness ended earlier for me the first time around, I just expected to be early in my pregnancy when it [...]
I was waiting for a signal. We had been trying to conceive since May and it wasn’t until October 18th that I finally had a positive test. I thought it would be easier to get pregnant this time around. I know when I ovulate but of course it’s all about timing. I didn’t have any [...]
One day before nap time, McKenzie decided to climb out of her crib - while wearing her sleep sack. Brian and I were watching TV downstairs, and all of a sudden I heard knocking on the door. No one was at the front door, and it sounded like it was coming from upstairs. I checked [...]
It always happens right, there's a good cop and a bad cop. Brian lets a lot more things slide or just doesn't get as bothered as I do about certain things. No one told me I had to be the bad cop, I just always find myself wanting to teach McKenzie a lesson. Lately, I [...]
Queue the cheesy "I didn't think I could love you more than I already do" quote. To some, it sounds lame until you get it or can see it or feel it for yourself. For me, it means everything. Brian and I just celebrated our 4 year Wedding anniversary, and I feel that any time [...]
This is a really long post because I wrote about our progress each day throughout the week. To summarize in short before I get into detail, McKenzie is 2 years old (and 3 months) and still sleeps in her crib with a sleep sack. We were basically waiting to potty train until she was able [...]
We recently went to Colorado to visit my 4 month old nieces, my sister and sister-in law! I guess you could consider Brian a veteran traveler since he flies every week, I wouldn't consider myself a rookie - but he likes to make fun of me and call me one. I actually like flying and [...]
As summer comes to an end, I can’t help but smile as I look back at how much fun I had. What a difference from past summers, a lot less drinking and a lot more early mornings chasing a toddler around. I wanted to create a summer round up of all my favorite things we [...]
Kenzie is a great eater, but sometimes I take the easy way out as she becomes a bit more picky. Like most kids, she lives for pasta, bread, cheese and fruit. If I know her teeny growing body is in need of a veggie or 2, I'll mix them into her favorites. Or, if there [...]
Before I had kids, all I could think about was climbing the corporate ladder. How fast could I do it? How much money could I make? What would my next title be? I always knew I would go back to work after I had my baby, most people looked puzzled when I said that - [...]
