So, lately every time I go out or see people, I'm told "wow! You look great!" And my first reaction internally is to want to argue. I'm polite and thankful, so I just thank them, but inside I think at best that's just what you say to a new mom, but more likely they are [...]

These are a few of my favorite shots of Lexi. It's hard to pick just a few because I take so many and she's so pretty, but I have done my best. I guess this post is on topic because she's the motivation and the payoff for my hard work and the reason I can't [...]

So, my pregnancy was possibly the easiest ever.

it's been a cuckoo crazy couple weeks. lotsa thoughts to share.1. the fertility drugs were a no-go last month. i'm mostly ok about that, because i know God's got this, and i can be patient. the hard part was having to take the Provera again. but, i'm on the other side of that, and tomorrow [...]

That is all.

I worry. a lot. about many things. most of these worries are unnecessary. that said, lately i have 2 main fears/worries: a) that all this trying to have a baby is gonna end in heartache and b)if i do get pregnant it's going to be high risk and i'll have to stop my workouts and [...]
