    Baby Mine

    06/30 /No Comments

    I love singing to my lil one. This song is so dear to me because of our struggles to get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy. This is very raw and emotional but I believe that is what makes it special.

    Bringing Baby Home- This Mama’s Journey!

    06/29 /1 Comment

    Ahh the day you have been waiting for. To bring your wee lil babe home and begin the greatest adventure of your life! You have everything ready, the nursery, the clothes, the bedding, and all the love in the world to give. First thing we did when we were home was introduce the lil one to his fur sisters. Abby immediately b-lined to the back of the house, which was to be expected. Laney however was very curious. She reminded me of the scene in Lady and the Tramp when they bring the baby home and Lady is so sweet and curious. Laney did just this. She didn’t leave his…

    Post Prego Thyroiditis

    06/23 /No Comments

    So Dr. called last night to let me know I have hyperthyroidism. This apparently is brought on post prego and is sometimes treated pending severity. Any other mama’s out there have this experience? Would love to know what your Dr. did and how you healed!

    D Day! AKA Delivery.

    06/22 /2 Comments

    You have your bag packed, birth plan in hand, hubby has camera and his overnight bag, now waiting on baby! I started dilating on a Monday and did not have any real labor pains. I have read other mom’s tell their experience that they felt nauseated, had cramps and a laundry list of symptoms. I did not have any of this.

    The Birth of a Blog

    06/21 /4 Comments

    While I was pregnant there were so many resources it would make your head spin! Everything from apps to books and blogs. Then of course everyone that had been there and wanted to tell you their experience. Once lil man came along however the real fun began! I had it in my mind that we would incorporate him into our life and we would continue on the way we had. DUMBEST comment I have ever made! Between the crying, feeding, diapers, dirty clothes, lack of sleep, household turned on its nose, dogs a nervous wreck and the list goes on, I soon realized Cooper was molding our life the way…
