Love Story = Historia de amor
Let’s take it way back 12 years ago to 1997….. I met his hotness on Circle Christian School grounds. We were both being home schooled at the time. He was very good friends with my amazing friend Elizabeth Anderson. Elizabeth and I both were taking a Spanish class together and both needed some major tutoring..we were not very [...]

I went to the OB’s office to see if Sawyer was still breech because I wasn’t dilated and only having braxton hicks contraction. Since I was a week away from my due date they were curious to see if he was still breech. I was praying to God that he was head down and [...]

A few updates:
I went to a BabyK appointment on Monday and everything went great! He is still very comfy in the breech position…Mommy isn’t too please but the doctors seem to think that he has plenty of time to flip and they aren’t worried at all.
I’ve gained 11 [...]
Trial run
Last Tuesday night I was having some really bad back pain, side pain, and minor contractions. I knew something was really wrong when I had to run to the bathroom to get sick. I hadn’t gotten sick like that since I had my appendix removed. I called my doctor and she said to come up to Winnie Palmer and [...]
New York New York
My Mom and I took a spontaneous trip to NYC in October! It was a blast, minus the fact that “Lindsey” brought short sleeve shirts and light weight sweaters for a week that decided to be rainy and had temperatures that didn’t reach above 50! ha. Just my luck! BUT, overall the trip was awesome and just [...]
The Neti Pot
Since being pregnant I haven’t gotten a head cold yet until Sunday afternoon. Dun duhn duuuun… I knew I didn’t want and couldn’t take most meds due to pregnancy so I tried this Neti Pot thing everyone had been talking about. I was doubting it would work because I was so sick and the function of [...]

How babyK is growing at 22 weeks:
At 11 inches and almost 1 pound, babyK is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he’s even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises still lack pigment. The picture above shows [...]
22 weeks: Crazy pregnant lady
Just when we thought we had skipped out on the crazy, hormonal pregnant lady side effects they come full throttle. I just never really thought that “the crazy pregnant lady” was real. WELL baby momma’s they are real, VERY REAL! They started hard core last week and haven’t stopped. I have tried several things to get this out [...]
BabyK’s first show
So, last Friday night was BabyK’s first concert of many at the House of Blues! It wasn’t just any concert though, it was his favorite band, Between the Trees. BabyK’s Uncle Ryan is the lead singer and it was so so so CRAZY good! It was a CD release show for their new album “SPAIN”! [...]
Mary Poppins, my inspiration..
Yes, that was me on Saturday. Whenever I’m in this type of mood I have to take FULL advantage, so since the nusery hasn’t been touched and was acting like the storage closet it was in much need of an overhaul.
First I started out in the closet by bagging up almost 20 dresses from proms, homecomings, and bridemaid [...]

Karate Kid
It was about 10:30pm and I was in bed watching According to Jim while Justin was working on a project in the other room. I had been feeling BabyK practicing his Tae Kwon Do inside of me so I decided to put my hands on my belly to just see if I could actually feel him this time. In [...]
