My Life

My little one is drinking her milk out of a sippy cup! Transitioning to a sippy cup was a long road for us.We started giving her a sippy cup at six-months and it took to about 11-months to find one she liked. Believe moms when they tell…

Who would have thought pointing could be so exciting? Ava started pointing at 12 months while we were vacationing near Reggio Emilia, Italy. We walked into the farmhouse we were staying at and she looked over to a scarecrow and started…

Ava is a little over 4½-months-old and I feel like life just keeps getting better!  Last month, I was definitely right when I wrote that I will probably think every month is the best.  I keep saying she is not my little baby anymore and my…

Free time basically went out the window after having my four-month-old daughter, Ava. Not only am I  a stay-at-home mom, but a professional blogger. I love my daughter, but I also have to have time do work.   Balancing being a…

Last week, Ava turned three-months-old!  Time certainly does fly! I was looking at pictures of her at birth and she doesn't even look like the same baby! It's incredible how fast babies progress and change. I'd like to say the third month…

Time really does fly by! Ava turned two months old last week.  At birth she weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces and now she is 9 pounds 4 ounces. I love that she is bigger because it was a real challenge to find clothes that would fit her in…

My little Ava is three-weeks-old! Life certainly changes after you have a baby! The emotions I feel getting to know and take of her are indescribable.  It's everything I dreamed of and more.  I love learning how to take care of her and…

I am officially considered full term!  Wohooo! My little baby can pop out any time now and she would be fine!  Many women try to bring on labor through natural induction methods at this point. I think I will try some things, but I think…

Today, I'm 36 weeks pregnant. I only have one more week till I am considered full term.  That feels really good to hear! I have up and down days. I barely sleep anymore, so I'm usually tired. My baby has moved into my pelvic area in…

I'm 35 Weeks pregnant today and couldn't be happier.  I feel like the end is in sight!  Sleeping is horrible. It's  impossible to get comfortable in the nights. Plus, my body has started waking up around 5:30 in the morning and then around…

I am 33 weeks and four days pregnant today. What am I feeling this week? Another week equals one less till I give birth! In other words, I am ready to be done.  I catch myself thinking, "Ugh, I just wish I would give birth now," and…
