About Me

My photo
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!

Doctor, Doctor give me the news.....

I officially had to put on my tuff mommy pants this week and stand up for what I wanted for my baby and what I thought was best for her! I was so comfortable with our pediatrician and loved the fact she had know Adah since the day that she was born. Unfortunately, we had to make the decision to switch and it broke my heart in a way but at the same time I know it was for the best. We had several run arounds with the nurse and doctor and some wrong information given as well as the fact that we felt that they were not taking our best interest to heart and were not doing everything they could do to find out what was wrong our little girl. As of yesterday we now going to the military peds, who are actually all civilian, on the Army base here. Adah and I had our first appointment there yesterday and they checked her out and have sent out to have us referred to a GI specialist to find out what it is that Adah is allergic to. Since it was our first visit with them she got weighed and measured...since she turns 4 mths on Saturday I am just going to use those measurements as her 4 mth stats!

Adah at 4mths:

weight--14.2lbs
height--241/2 inches
head--41.?

--loving tummy time more and more
--laughed 1 time
--LOVE LOVE LOVES to be outside
--sleeping much better..only gets up 1 time at night around 3am and then not agian until 7
--moved up to size 2 diapers
--wearing 3-6mth clothes
--loves to fly (in our arms) in the air
--no longer being swaddled at night
--loves to watch TV...so we can't have it on when she is awake
--has decided that she wants to nap only on mommy during the day...we are working on this
--Loves going to the park and swinging in mommy's lap or sliding down the slide with mommy
--enjoys going to play dates with our new mommy & baby group

Here are a few pictures of my cute little almost 4 month old!

Cause my SIL did it....and it's funny!

I took this from my sister in law Lindsay's blog because I thought it was too funny! You type your name into the Google search bar with the word "needs" after it (_______ needs) then write down the first 10 things that come up! I was so curious what mine would say! Here it is: Thanks Lindsay for posting this....too funny!


1. ...to pee! (I think I always need to pee!)

2. ...HELP! (Yeah....help trying to get the doc give me a good answer on what I need to do!)

7. ...your numbers! (probably got most of them)

8. ...the truth about Kyle! (hmmmm.....Rachel?)

9. ...a loving home! (Pretty sure I got this)

10. ...you at COB! ( close of business....hmmm)

Because my name was so much fun I decided to do Josh's too!

Josh needs....

1. ....extra lovin! (I'm sure he gets all the lovin he needs)

2. ...a holiday or just a cuddle (Please! everyday is a holiday and he can cuddle anytime!)

3. ...to go to bed (always!)

4. ...to be finished (with his thesis)

The new love of my life....


I'm kind of obsessed! I love love love to clean! There is just something about the feeling, smell, and immediate satisfaction of CLEAN! You can ask my husband....if I could have a day to do whatever I want while he watches Adah I would choose to clean! I know it sounds crazy but I love it! In fact Josh let me clean all morning! What made it even more exciting was the fact that my wonderful hubby bought me a brand new vacuum! I didn't know that you could fall so in love with a vacuum but I have! Josh bought me a DYSON....only the BEST vacuum EVER! I could not stop vacuuming! I could have vacuumed all day long! Infact....I think I may take after my Rachel and vacuum everyday....okay maybe not I do have someone a little bit more important than a vacuum....and I happen to love her more of course! Adah happens to love the Dyson too....Dyson comforted her right to sleep!

Isn't she Lovely?!?!?
