True life: I'm a mommy blogger & I'm featured today!

Today....

Today I talk about breastfeeding in public & a #1 must have for ALL MAMAS!


I'm also linking up for the mommy bloggers today! So excited to do this.

How cute is this?! Rylee loves her pup!

I love being a mommy blogger & being able to link up with others to do this! It's so fun & exciting to hear about other babies & to get others advice on this thing we call motherhood.

This post contains lots of pictures so I would like to introduce myself & my family.

Jeremy & I met when I worked at Carrabba's. We started dating about 2 months after we met & we've been inseparable ever since. 1.5 years after being together he finally proposed! 12.22.08 
 
We were engaged for 10.5 months before we said I do! 11.07.09
We had a wonderful wedding with all of our family & close friends.

We went on a week long honeymoon to St. Lucia.

Came back- had fun 

& found out we were pregnant 02.21.10!   It's been an exciting 4 years and I've loved every minute of it. Here is a more in depth post.
 I went through 3 tests before I believed it & then I still had to confirm with the doctor.

So we went to Costa Rica
 
Vegas...


Grand Canyon..


Sedona...

 We met our nephew Ethan 6 weeks before Rylee!

 After a long 37 weeks of being pregnant Rylee came into this world on 10.07.10 by induction because I had preeclampsia.


We are now 10.5 months into this whole parenting thing & it really couldn't get any better. I love being able to stay at home with her & watch her every new move!I talk a lot about this little baby pictured below & what life is with her here. So stick around ! :)

  1. Oh. My. Word. Is she not the most scrumptious little thing??? I adore staying at home, too...my daughter took her first step yesterday and I FLIPPED the FLIP out. So thankful I got to see it and not some daycare worker!

  2. LOVE the cake picture! Frosting & a tutu - both pink - what else do you need?? ;)

    Ha! I peed on quite a few sticks myself (5) and went to the doc for a blood test to confirm. Seriously. I was in denial.

    So glad to "meet" you via the True Life link up!

  6. Hi! I found your blog from Meet This Mama :) I saw your stash of diapers and I have a question for you (well, a couple..). I'm pregnant and due Feb 4. I want to start stocking up on stuff way ahead of time (with coupons and super sales, of course!). How far in advance did you start stocking up? What all did you stock up on? How did you decide what to buy? Thanks :)

  7. a looooong 37 weeks. oh shut up! hahaha try being 41 weeks pregnant then talk about it being long! Or even worse like Rebecca who was OVER 41 weeks pregnant when Aiden finally arrived! Rylee would have been like 15lbs had you gone full term though. yikes!

  8. Rylee is so stinking cute! :) I found your blog through Mrs. Mama's post today! Love it! I feel like we have so much in common. I met my husband, who is also 8.5 years older than I am, moved in with him 4 months later, we were engaged 15 months after our first date, had an 18 month engagement! However, we've been married for 3 months now & don't have plans for little ones soon. I'm excited to follow your journey!
