About Me

We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

No baby yet.....but lots of love...

Thank you Thank you Thank you Banks and LouAnn(Josh's Dad and stepmom or Adah's Pepaw and Grammie) for the B.O.B jogging stroller!  We absolutely LOVE it!  I am so super excited about getting to use it and getting back in shape!  We have been looking at these strollers and have really been wanting to get one!  There are several different ones to choose from but after much research on Josh's part we decided on the Ironman series!  We couldn't be happier!  Thank you again so much!



I also got another super cute handmade gift yesterday that I absolutely LOVE!  I want one in every color now!  My little brother Josh's girlfriend Kristin (with her grandma's help on this one) knitted little Adah a hat to wear!  I LOVE little knit hats and had wanted to learn how to make them so maybe Kristin can teach me sometime.....until then I love the one she made me!  Thank you!  I am going to thread a ribbon through the bottom of it and tie a bow.....I will show you the finished product when I decide on the right color/size ribbon!


The one on the left is for Adah.....the one on the right is more of a premie size....so we will either give it to the hospital to use and if they don't take it we will just give it to Adah to put on her doll!  LOVE THEM!

We also got some great necessities from our good friends Bonnie, Noel, Nicholas, and baby boy(on the way) Wadsworth!  The Wadsworth's were on the Alexandria with us back in Connecticut and headed here to Monterey just a few months before us!  They have done so much for us since we have been here!  We love you guys and are so thankful for such great loving friends!  We are also so excited to meet their 2nd little boy that will be here the beginning of September!  Thank guys so much!

There are several things in this picture.....toothbrush set for all different stages/ages, diapers, wipes, washcloths, 2 bath toys, diaper rash ointment, baby oil, baby lotion, baby shampoo, baby body wash, a little bucket thing that has a flexi side that will fit to the little ones head so that you can wash soap off and protect the eyes....I'm sure I'm leaving something out....

Thank you all for your thoughtful gifts!  

Update on me:

I went to the doctor this past Friday.....my blood tests came back higher than normal but not too dangerous yet....my urine test came back higher than normal as well but not to the "danger" level yet.  I still have lots of swelling, high blood pressure, headaches, etc.....so the doctor has me resting all the time to try and keep it from getting worse.  He checked to see if I was progressing at all in the labor department and I'm not really so he would like to wait as long as possible in hopes that I will get further dilated and ready for labor to make induction easier and the likelihood of a c-section lower.  So now we are back to the waiting game.  I will be going to the doctor every week twice a week for monitoring.  Hopefully this labor thing will pick up fast and we can get her out so that we can both be okay.  I go back to the doc on Tuesday.  I'm not expecting much to happen but hoping......

How did my comments drop down so low? The other day I was only 3 behind Val. What the heck?

Now you have to run after you have the baby. You don't want that stroller to go to waste. Why do they call it Iron man? It seems like it work well for the running and Biking part but the the swimming part might be hard. Does it float? I guess you will be in Hawaii for the next race then.
