Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and in celebration of the holiday, I thought I’d share my love story! I met my husband, Danny, on a Caribbean cruise! My parents had booked a cruise through my aunt as a travel agent as had his aunt and uncle. About a week before the cruise was to depart 2 booked passengers had a death in the family and had to back out of the cruise last minute. Him and I were both added in as last minute bookings to fill those openings just a week before … Continue reading →

Baby Update – 6 weeks old!

Posted on by

I can’t believe it but my “newborn” is now already 6 weeks old!! He is smiling and starting to coo a little bit! I’m beginning to settle in as a mom of 3, though my house is still like a whirlwind and the toddlers bicker to get attention! We went to the Zoo the other day and it was SOOOO nice! It’s finally feeling more like Fall here in Phoenix. It was low 70′s and a little overcast so we didn’t have the sun beating down on us! We got to see the Koala’s that … Continue reading →

I love my Kitchen because it is very open and it has a lot of cupboard space! I also LOVE my dining room table! It is square or you can unfold each side to make it a round table that seats 8! I usually have it square with 5 seats at it and then the other 3 at my bar as my table is counter height so the chairs work great at the bar as well. The table also matches my cabinets really nicely so I love that about it as well! We put curtains … Continue reading →

Birth Story!

Posted on by

On Tuesday, September 7, 2010, I asked Danny to take take me for a walk around the neighborhood to try to make some labor progress and hopefully have the baby sooner! I was due on September 5th so was already 2 days late. My husband went and grabbed his wallet and cell phone and I was a little bit curious as I was just planning a short loop around the neighborhood. When we finally got out the door he walked us straight to the entrance and then out of my development and down the road … Continue reading →

Due Date, Labor Day, and Waiting!

Posted on by

Yesterday was my due date, which came and left uneventfully. I did have everyone in the world thinking the needed to call/text and come over which meant we ended up with a very full house last night with 9 extra guests over visiting (some of which were kids). I did have some inconsistent and not real strong contractions Saturday afternoon and evening randomly throughout the day but nothing came from them. I was thinking that’d mean I’d be having the baby within the next 48 hours as I only ever felt contractions once I was … Continue reading →
