Reuniting with the fam

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend.  It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek.  Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

Weeks 0-12

[written on 7/31/12, at the beginning of the 13th week] Honestly, the reason I didn’t blog about being pregnant for the first trimester is because I’m extremely paranoid.  You never know what can happen in those early weeks and being a nurse made me overly cautious (ignorance is bliss…I still had my maternity books…not good). But beyond that, I knew I was seriously sparing you all from some really not good stuff.  Cabo was an interesting vacation, for lack of a better word.  I had quite a bit of nausea and my energy level was… Read more >

Our early celebration

Well, you guys have blown me away.  The comments on this post literally brought tears to my eyes…I felt so much love.  I want to say thank you to every single one of you who wished us congratulations (and I will get to it…).  Obviously Kyle and I are beyond thrilled and it’s been sooo hard to keep this a secret (I’m shocked nobody was on to me earlier!).  I will probably blog more about the earlier pregnancy stuff in time, but for now back to regular posting… *************** Since we were away this weekend… Read more >

2 and counting…

It’s been two years since Kyle and I celebrated our love in front of our closest family and friends. And since then my love for him has only grown and grown.        I know I’m very blessed to have found my soul mate.  My life is so full.  I never thought it could get better. But it’s about to get so so much better.  🙂 Our family is growing.   **This ultrasound photo is a month old.  I’m 16+ weeks now (almost half way!).  I’ve been anxiously waiting to tell you all.  More to… Read more >

All kinds of random

  Caramel and chocolate.  Almost better than nut butter and chocolate.  Almost. What could this be?  I love surprise packages.  Kyle’s a keeper.   I don’t want you to think Kyle and I are crazy stalkers, but we are both very much in love with Katie’s cute little family.  And texts like the above are not uncommon.  I mean seriously, how can you not melt??  Vegetable juice and french fries cancel each other out right?  I mean the fries were from Whole Foods…that’s gotta count for something.  Kyle wanted me to take a photo of… Read more >
