Things We All Were NOT Prepared for When Having Kids…
Well it's been an extra hot minute since I've written a blog post. Since May actually. Which is too bad because I actually really like writing. So I thought it would be fun to share 'things we all were NOT prepared for when having kids' based off the feedback I got on...
SURPISE! Baby #3 Is On The Way!
I seriously cannot believe I'm typing this but... SURPRISE! Baby #3 is on the way! The literal shock of the century. Also, one of the biggest blessings we could be entrusted with. This sweet little guy/gal is already so loved, and now that the news is public - he/she...
33+3 : Oliver + Abram’s Birth Story
It's taken me exactly the amount of time to write this that the boys were in my belly. 33+3 : Oliver + Abram's birth story has been hard for me to write. Harder than I expected actually. Probably because a part of me still maybe hasn't accepted and fully processed the...

SURPRISE! WE'RE EXPECTING! I always find it odd when couples say 'we are pregnant' because I mean only one of you really is, while the other is along for the ride. So I AM PREGNANT and Kyle's been playing the doting, supportive, overly attentive future-dad like he was...
