23 Week Belly Picture

Here it is….the 23 week belly. How far along? 23 weeks! Total weight gain/loss: Up 9 lbs. Maternity clothes? Most definately. Stretch marks? Not yet….. Sleep: Eh….I get up about four times a night to go to the bathroom. So between that and always being hot, not so great. Best moment this week: Seeing her [...]

He’s BAAAAACCCCKKK!

Ashley that is. He finally got home on Friday night and it has been so nice to have him around again. Unfortunately, we are both leaving for pretty sweet, all expense paid vacations sponsored by the US Army. I am heading to Fort Sam Houston, which is in San Antonio, TX, for about 18 days [...]

Pregnant women should NOT go grocery shopping!

I decided to go grocery shopping this afternoon because my list was finally long enough to validate actually going to the grocery store. Unfortunately, somewhere between walking to the car and getting to the grocery store, I completely lost the list. I wasn’t about to go home to look for it, so I decided to [...]

22 Week Belly Picture

I decided to start posting my belly pictures, since I think that I now actually have something that looks somewhat like a baby belly, although I sometimes think that it just looks like a beer belly (root beer of course!). I reached 22 weeks this Saturday and only have two more weeks until we reached [...]

The fur babies get a bath!

The fur babies, Kaia and Maggie, got a bath today and were NOT pleased! Maggie shook the entire time and Kaia refused to sit still, although Kaia did jump into the bathtub all on her own. I doubt that I would have been able to lug her 55 lb mass of fur into the tub. [...]

I tried to post these a number of different ways, but it is just not working so here they are…..

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all those moms out there! I was totally surprised yesterday when our door bell rang and I went to the font door and there was a lady standing there with flowers. Ash sent me a dozen red roses for Mother’s Day, which was completely unexpected and very thoughtful. I can’t remember [...]

20wk OB Appointment

Today I had my 20wk OB appointment. I thought the appointment was at 11AM, but apparently it wasn’t until 11:30AM. So, needless to say, I showed up at 11AM and was surprised by how crowded the waiting room was. Apparently my doctor was up all night delivering and was running about an hour behind this [...]

Busy, busy, busy!

So life has been really busy the last few weeks. I went to Las Vegas for a few days with my parents, which was really relaxing. It was nice to be able to sit by the lazy river and just hang out. The day after I got back, I had to work. I ended up [...]

Hi! My name is Erin and welcome to my little slice of the internet. I'm a 29 year old OIF veteran, lover of Patriot football, Zumba addict and full time student. I started this blog to keep my friends and family informed on our growing family. My husband is on active duty and the Army has us stationed far away from our families.

In August 2010 I began my graduate studies at Vanderbilt University. I am studying to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and plan on graduating in August 2012. It has proven to be a tough exercise in time management and balance, but anything worth it requires hard work!!

Thanks for stopping by!
