It brings a smile to my face when I walk into the nursery. Not 100% complete (will be after the shower next weekend) but here are a few pics of her nursery in the making. So in love with it!

Pregnancy and After
Belly Shots
30 weeks and counting…
I truly can't believe how fast this pregnancy is (now) flying by. I'm 3 steps ahead of the game. Nursery is pretty much complete--turned out so sweet. I actually find myself going in there to organize and then reorganize again. Anything just to spend some time in that room. David is the furthest away from … Continue reading 30 weeks and counting…
It’s Really Happening…
After the loss of our baby girl last May, my husband and I took some time to heal and enjoy us. After a much needed vacation in August, we agreed it was time to start trying again. Once we returned in September we had a go at it not knowing how long it would take … Continue reading It’s Really Happening…
Cartagena a Week of Love
How or where do I start? This was the most magical week I've had with my husband in the longest time. Don't get me wrong, every week is wonderful but this week was the most absolute bliss I have experienced since our wedding. We walked new streets together. In a different country and we rocked … Continue reading Cartagena a Week of Love
3 Forward
3 Steps Forward No Steps Back That's been my motto for as long as I can remember. I can't believe it's already August and we are practically wrapping up summer. In just a few short weeks David and I will be packing our luggage and boarding a flight to Cartagena, Colombia. A trip we would … Continue reading 3 Forward
Moving Forward
After the loss of a child (at any stage in pregnancy) one may feel guilty feeling happy again but I didn't. I have cried and mourned the loss of our first child for days on end but to be honest I knew that the tough cookie in me would show her face sooner rather than later. It's been 3 weeks … Continue reading Moving Forward
Days Later
I did not know what to expect following the loss of our baby. The very next day we found ourselves at a funeral home signing papers and making arrangements to have Faith picked up from the hospital and cremated. I maintained my composure pretty well until I witnessed the lady write down our daughters … Continue reading Days Later
Mother’s Day Weekend, Isn’t it ironic?
We were faced with our worst fear. Our unborn child is struggling inside my womb. It has been two agonizing weeks since we were first told that my blood work came back highly unusual. We met with a counselor who went over my results and stated that they were almost unexplainable. I had the worst … Continue reading Mother’s Day Weekend, Isn’t it ironic?
Yikes!
Officially stopped working out at my favorite gym temporarily. After my scare a few weeks ago, I had to think what was best for my baby. I had to toss the idea of having a killer body during pregnancy to the side and think about my little one. I placed my gym membership on hold … Continue reading Yikes!
Our Baby Girl at 17-18 Weeks!
Had another chance to take a glimpse at our little one this afternoon. So special to finally be able to see a side profile of her cute little nose and lips. All comfy in mommy's tummy with her feet facing upward. I just love her already! Ultrasound tech told me that her measurements are coming … Continue reading Our Baby Girl at 17-18 Weeks!
My First Baby Journal
1/6/15 - Took a pregnancy test and it said positive! Told David and my best friend. 1/7/15 - Scheduled my first prenatal appointment. January 30th I will be 6 weeks and 6 days along!

On Cloud 9 All Over Again
I am so eager for my little one to be born and I am only 8 weeks along. Heard the heartbeat last Friday, January 30th and it made everything seem that much more real. My sunshine didn't look like much on the ultrasound, looked like a blob. But there is no mistaking the sound of … Continue reading On Cloud 9 All Over Again
Mommy
I find myself daydreaming quite often about the mommy I want to be. I can't help but notice how electronics and technology have taken over and in a way stolen a special piece of childhood from kids. What happened to imagination? Going outside to play. Building things, discovering things, jumping in puddles, rolling down grassy … Continue reading Mommy
