Being pregnant is hard. It’s even harder after a miscarriage or stillbirth. For most women, pregnancy is pretty crappy. Sure, there’s the joy, anticipation and “glow” (if you’re lucky). But the average pregnant mom also has to deal with nausea and exhaustion. There’s the insomnia, constant need to pee, sudden onset of acne, hormonal ups… Continue Reading
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…time for Carmendy’s monthly update! Our little girl is 16 months old. This one is going to be short, because there isn’t much to report (that I can remember anyway). I mean have 30 days really gone by?? It feels more like 4 and like there should be… Continue Reading
This update is incredibly late. Carmendy will be 16 months old in one week — yikes! But the past couple of weeks have been difficult, with the loss of our third baby. Although my heart has not yet mended (or maybe it never will?), I won’t let it stop me from going on and sharing my… Continue Reading
You guys, this is BIG. You’ve got to watch the latest video from Kiddie Kopps Productions. It’s only a minute long but Owen and Carmendy’s performances are Oscar-worthy. It’s so good I’m thinking I should switch from a blogger to a vlogger. And you’ll want to wait until the end for this video…you don’t want… Continue Reading
I’m about ten days behind with this monthly update, as usual. BUT Carmendy is still 14 months old AND we took her photos on the actual date of her birth this month. So I’m kind of killing it this month, at least compared to my punctuality in the rest of my life. I should probably give this post… Continue Reading
Good news! I’ll be chronicling Carmendy’s second year of life monthly, so you’ll continue to see her cute pics every 30 days. Here’s our 13-month-old’s first second year report and photos. It’s a little late (okay, maybe two weeks late….but at least I’m posting this before she’s 14 months old!). This past month Carmendy reached… Continue Reading
She’s one! What a wonderful year it has been with our baby girl Carmendy. I tried to soak in every moment with her, knowing how quickly the days and months go by. And here I am trying to write a post about the very last month of her first year and I can barely remember… Continue Reading
And just like that she’s nearly one year old. Can we all agree that this has been the fastest year ever?? I’m trying my best to soak in every moment with our soft and playful 11-month-old. It won’t be long before she’s a defiant threenager like her brother. Carmendy has changed so much in the… Continue Reading
The weather is heating up and Carmendy is speeding up! Yep, my baby girl is officially on the move. She started crawling this past month and every day she gets faster and faster. So now I have two kids to chase after (and one energetic pup). At least I don’t have to worry about being out… Continue Reading
It’s May and everything is growing fast, including Carmendy and the weeds in our yard. Our baby girl is nine months old and suddenly she’s looking bigger. She has hair now! It’s actually long enough that it makes little curls in the humid spring air. So cute! This past month Carmendy touched sand for the first time… Continue Reading
