-“mom…i want you to get up and just try to run around.” aiden

apparently i’ve reached some sort of milestone. 28 weeks is a good place to be. at least that’s what my doctor said when she greeted me today at my appointment. after waiting forever, and getting quite uncomfortable sitting on what is becoming a tinier and tinier table with nothing but a sheet separating me from […]

the much anticipated ultrasound was today and it’s official. we are having another girl!! colton, chase and aiden are quite excited that another sister is on the way. aiden was sure it was a girl from the beginning. when i told her…she smiled and whispered, “i was right.” so…here is where you come in. we […]
