With the holiday season in full swing, I imagine there’ll be lots of traveling going on. For our family, it’ll be just the opposite. We spent Thanksgiving here in North Carolina, and we’ll be doing the same for Christmas and the New Year as the countdown to Baby Number 2’s arrival begins. That being said, […]
We’re Pregnant and We’re Having a Girl!
You may or may not remember the post I wrote a while back about my itch to have another baby (“Time For Another Baby???”). At that time, I was mosquito-bite itchy and my husband was not—in any way, shape, or form 😜. Well, fast forward a few months, and we both started to realize that […]
Our Anniversary Trip to Cabo!
For the past two weeks, I haven’t written and I apologize! Hubby and I were celebrating our anniversary, and it took some time to recover. That being said, I’m excited to tell you all about it! DJ and I recently came upon three years of marriage and nine years of being together. My sweet mama […]
The Dad Effect
So as some of you may know, Micah started up swimming lessons again. Yay! Read about his first go-round here. Over the summer session, it took him some time to get used to being in the water. And that’s putting it kindly. It was more like he screamed bloody murder for the first half of […]
Time For Another Baby???
“What do you think about us having another baby?” I asked my husband while on a walk recently. I had been crazy enough to start thinking about “Number 2” a few months ago, and I brought it up many times before, but this time I was serious. “I don’t know if we’re ready yet,” he […]
Sweet Dreams and Nightmares: Our Sleep-Training Story
“You said you wanted to do it this way, but every time he cries, you change your mind!” DJ yelled. “I just want to make sure nothing is wrong with him!” I yelled back. At two months-old, we began sleep-training our little Micah, and it was no easy road. For those who know DJ and […]
Breast Milk, Medicine, and Your Future Self
Sometimes blessings come from the unlikeliest of places. Spending the first week of our little one’s life visiting him in the NICU was certainly no easy task (Read about it here). However, it provided us with the awesome blessing of teachers, in the form of nurses, to help us with transitioning into parenthood. Every day, […]
Setbacks, Set-Ups, and Step 1s: Our Wedding Story, pt. 2
“I got the job!” DJ yelled excitedly over the phone. I couldn’t believe it. After two and half years of applying to jobs in Chicago, he was finally offered a position with a company that not only had offices worldwide, including Chicago, but that would allow him to work from home . . . in […]
Setbacks, Set-Ups, and Step 1s: Our Wedding Story, pt. 1
“Unfortunately, the way our curriculum is set up, there are no points of re-entry into third year that would allow you the six-month time period you need to study and re-take the exam.” I had failed Step 1*. “That being said, you will have an extra six months added to your total time in medical […]
Busy Baby Blessing Weekend
Hi Everyone! I just want to apologize for the quick post today. This weekend was Micah’s baby blessing and we had family and friends in town for the event. Needless to say, it was a busy week and weekend, so I didn’t have a chance to put together a post for this Monday. In the […]
