Our babe's first round of gifting

I've been quite nervous through out this entire journey and at first, I asked my family not to buy anything. But after many months, I became a lot better with it. Here are some of the awesome things we have gotten from our families.

Booties made from a friend of my father in law. We've never met this person but so so nice of her to do.

Books from my sister. Super funny too.

Our first official gift from my sister in law. She bought this on her cruise that she was on when she heard the news.

From my sister in law and brother in law. That's our babe right there =)

These are from my in laws. So cute.They are bath mittens and towels

The first set of onesies from my mom. So cute.

We are so happy that our families are so loving and generous to us. My oldest sister sent me a beautiful arrangement of flowers too. I was pretty sick when she sent them and sadly I never photographed them. They were a beautiful surprise to come home to one day on my door step with an adorable card attached telling me that she was sorry I was so sick and this will all be worth it in the end ! Adorable =).

This is one exciting journey for sure. I am 21 weeks now and I have started to feel our little babe kick away in there. What an amazing thing.

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

My pregnancy and birth story

As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight. Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
