We are so happy that Mason is finally here! Weighing in at a whopping 10lbs, 1oz and 22″ long. He was was quite the big guy! My labor went really well. I was getting concerned because I knew that he was going to be big, and I didn’t want to have a c-section. Even though [...]

So, we had a wonderful first Christmas with Parker. He got plenty of love from family and friends. We enjoyed the candlelight service at Stonecreek, and we had a great dinner with my Mom and Sister.

Forced Motivation

Okay- I’ve had it. I’m done with all this extra baby weight. I thought it would just fall off since I’m breastfeeding, but apparently lack of sleep mixed with halloween candy has taken its toll. So what is a chubby Mom to do? Well, I’m using YOU…my blog readers as motivation. For six months I [...]

So, this post goes out to all the experienced Mommies out there who, like me, like structure, process, predictability and, well…a schedule.

I know I seem obsessed with nursing by this point, but just wanted to make one more follow-up post on the one below. I found out through the forums on La Leche League website that the reason why feeding is so painful is because I have thrush. This is a self diagnosis, but I really [...]

Holy Moly he’s here! 9lbs 3oz and 22″ long. Can you BELIEVE I squeezed that out of my…well…, nevermind. The “Poll Happy” results were a little off, but that’s okay. We’re just SO happy he’s here. He’s our little nine pound bundle of love and we wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world. He’s [...]
Oh Baby

As I pack on the pounds in the last weeks of pregnancy (Ugh!) I can’t help but wonder how I’m going to loose all this weight postpartum. Last year when I was preparing for pregnancy I attend a few of the 4 week long boot camps that focused on circuit training and running to get [...]
