I have a wonderful husband and together we have three amazing kids ages 6, 7 and a new baby we welcomed March 15th! We are also parents to an over-the-top, adorable little jack russel named Kelsey!
I am in school full time as a nursing student. Right now I am taking a year off of nursing school to be home with our newest addition and spend some more time with the older two. I have been in school full time since 2006 so the break is very refreshing! Eventually I will be doing more with my RN… it keeps going back and forth between midwife and NP, but midwife will probably win! Most likely after I get my RN I wont go back to add on to it until all my munchkins are bigger.
I have also been a surrogate twice! My first surro baby (a singleton boy) was born in 2007 and in 2009 we welcomed surro TWINS at 31 weeks. I was able to pump for my first surro baby just for a few months due to his parents being so far away and no way to transport that precious milk. With the twins, I pumped for them night and day for close to 7 months until I started back to nursing school.
I was put on bed rest in December 2010 to ensure this little guy stays in longer than the twins. Anyone who knows me, knows that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to sit. I am a very busy, active mommy. So this is when I starting blogging with my first blog "Whats One More". It was a great way to do something I enjoy and keep me entertained while *sigh* sitting…. After baby was born and things settled down a bit, we wanted to get out with the kids, but in more of a budget friendly way. We searched the internet and found lots of great things and are now sharing that with you!
I am a huge supporter of breastfeeding, baby-wearing, keeping babies intact (aka- intactivist), cosleeping and attachment parenting. Anyone who knows me know that these things are very close to me. We are also cloth diaper our new baby which has actually been quite fun so far!
I love doing things outdoors as long as the weather is nice. I am not good with extreme hot or cold… I love to sit in doors with a blazing fire in the fireplace and watch the rain! I love to snuggle with my hubby, kids and our pup! I love to try new things and love to have new adventures! I love to cook new dishes (as long as it is not fish)! I love to travel! I love the color purple and I love butterfly’s! I love to sew and do little crafts. It has been really fun learning! I am always doing some new project because I love to keep busy:)
I love babies!!! Well you probably already know that! I think being a midwife is perfect for me because I adore pregnancy and am still amazed that our bodies can MAKE a human! Not only that but also take care of all their needs up to six months after they are born! I love being a part of the experience even if it is not my own! It is a wonderful time in a woman’s (and their family’s) life!
Hope you enjoy all the wonderful finds and invite your friends to join!
