Can I get one of those Sarah Palin heart t-shirts??

Hello, Lover...

We finally meet. After months of eying you from afar and dreaming of the one day I would need you in my life, I finally get to caress your smooth metal frame, your luxurious organic soybean bassinet lining, your firm telescoping handle.

Your sleek style and modern appeal send chill bumps down my spine.



With your rubber-coated chrome finish tires that never go flat, I know you will cross whatever terrain I ask of you with unmatched ease. And your shock absorbing suspension system will keep baby safe and sound all the way.



While it is still early and I can't quite call you mine, I know that day is fast approaching. Until then, I'm glad we've had this opportunity to meet. It was love at first sight. I'll be seeing you....

Show Us Your Dress!

What bride can resist showing off her wedding dress? Kelly over at Kelly's Korner recently had a "Show Us Your Life" wedding dress edition so I can't miss out on this opportunity!! It also helps break up the - what I'm sure will be monotonous - baby posts.

Without further ado - THE dress...

I went back to my hometown bridal store to find the perfect gown. It was just glowing on my wedding day!Mom helped tie me upView from behindKissing my husband in the Alabama snow... and don't forget those shoes!


Ya'll know I love my wedding photos. Thanks for putting up with more!

Boy or Girl?!?

This week we had baby's second check-up. He/she is doing well. We actually got to hear the heartbeat! So exciting! We're now in the 12th week and I haven't gained any weight. I'm super excited about that because I'm definitely worried about gaining too much and having a hard time working it off post-baby. I want to gain what I need to gain but don't want (much) more. While I may not have gained any weight, the weight has definitely redistributed throughout my body and I can tell a big difference in the fit of my clothes. I have a few maternity pieces that I probably don't quite need yet but I'm already working them into my wardrobe.

More exciting news - I have scheduled baby's first 4D ultrasound for after the 15 week mark. On August 22nd (now less than a month away) we'll learn if our little baby is a girl or boy!

Everyone but Lucas and The Rookie are saying 'it' is a boy. I'm not-so secretly pulling for a girl but I really will be happy just to have a healthy baby! There is always time for a girl down the road and a protective older brother is always useful.

What You Get....

when you turn a quarter of a century...

Thanks, husband!

(now I just have to figure out how to work this thing)

Peace, Love, and Baby

Jill @ Homemade by Jill was having an awesome little giveaway, and I actually won!

Our little one will reap the benefits.... in only about 6 and a half months. This cute little peace sign onesie will be here waiting (along with these awesome See Kai Run shoes I won a while back.... as long as our little 'it' is a girl)! I am so excited! Go check out more of Jessie's awesome creations.

We Have Babies!

No, no. It is not quite time for me and when that time comes I hope it is still a singular baby...

But we do have baby birdies!

I water my ferns every morning and have noticed a nest with eggs in one for a few weeks. I started my morning ritual off this morning and was about to move to the chosen fern when I saw fur! No more eggs! These babies had hatched. I was so surprised they weren't chirping. I had to check and make sure they were actually alive.... you know, without touching them or getting too close. Then I saw one of the little cuties blink and also noticed their little bodies moving up and down breathing. It was a wonderful way to start my day off.... even though when I woke up today I thought it was Saturday and it is actually only Tuesday. Uhm, just a little off! Anyway, I watered 'around' the fern and hope that is enough for it to survive until the chickies can fly.

The miracle of life
is alive and well at our household!
