8 Weeks Pregnant
With that, we are now in our eighth week of pregnancy. I'm arriving in this week thankful that we even made it through the 7th week after a lot of cramping and a bleeding scare. I am back to yoga after 11 days of zero working out which makes me one cranky person. I don't [...]

We are at nine months. Nine months since we pulled the goalie. Nine months since we made the decision to root for the two pink lines. Nine months since we made the decision to take another step in our lives. None months since we have decided to start trying for a baby. And do you [...]
