I thought it would come easy this time around. I had breastfed McKenzie for a year "I will be a pro" I thought, "It will come naturally this time". Boy, was I wrong. The first time, I blamed my trouble with getting a good latch on the nurses taking McKenzie to NICU an hour after [...]
When I found out I was pregnant with you, I broke down in tears. I hoped and prayed for you, so when I finally found out I was pregnant with you I couldn't help myself. I had very simple plans for us once you were born. We would drop McKenzie at camp, maybe go for [...]
I thought for sure my second baby was coming early. I was almost certain. My belly was huge, low, and very uncomfortable. Each weekly appointment would come and go with no new updates. At 37 weeks, they thought my fluid level looked low so they were going to monitor it. You're suppose to have 10 [...]
I'm not sure how this is even possible, but McKenzie is 3 years old today! I can't believe it, my baby girl is 3. So much has changed over the last year. It has been so nice being home with McKenzie because I was there to watch her grow into a sweet, sensitive, independent little [...]
I'm not sure when it started, but if I was home I was needed for bedtime or McKenzie would stand and scream in her crib. Maybe it's because I was home when Brian would travel or since I missed most of the day being at work that I wanted to be the one to put [...]
27 weeks. 2 weeks ago, I was at the point of "oh shit, I haven't gotten anything for the baby yet". I have been saving things in different carts on Amazon, Etsy, Pottery Barn, and who even knows where else. I kept thinking it was too early to get anything, plus the fact that I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
