Ummm, hello 2013. Where did you come from? Take a second to let that thought sink in. Where on EARTH did 2012 go?! At the end of 2011, I took some time to reflect and look back on what the year had brought our way. In 2009, I took the time to look back and […]

I love looking back at my photos at the end of the year. Not only to remember what all we accomplished and achieved as a family and as individuals, but like any mother, I like to look back and see how much my boy (now that will be boys) have grown. When I saw Ashley’s […]

Can you believe we’re already one month into this whole “two kids” thing? I’m blown away by the fact that Jonah has been here for a month already. It seems like just yesterday we were debating whether or not we were going to wait him out and let him come on his own or go […]

Did you guys think that I’d bailed on you completely and left the world of blogging behind? Not hardly. I’ve just been sucked into the realm of diapers, feedings and juggling two kids while attempting to maintain some sense of order around our house and sanity within my own head. Last week was my first […]

If you missed Part One of Jonah’s birth story, you can check it out right here. Once I was finished showering (I think I stayed there under the water for about 45 minutes), I was checked again. And had dilated to almost 6 cms. Progress! And it then became official that we would be having our baby […]

First I want to start off and say thank you to all of you who offered up so much support, encouragement and love through my blog, Facebook and Instagram over the last several days. After we made the decision to go ahead with a social induction on Monday, the rest of our day flew by. […]

I Am…being induced tomorrow morning at 7:00 am. I Want…a safe and healthy baby; no matter how long the delivery lasts or what method it results in. I Have…a feeling that baby boy will weigh at least 8 pounds…easy. I Wish…that everyone would just say “Good Luck” and “We’re thinking of you” rather than continuing […]

Our false alarm the Friday before last was a bit of a wake up call for me. I’ve been so focused on getting ready for baby boy and preparing for his arrival, that a small part of me forgot about something…well someone…else and the impact that this little baby’s arrival is going to have. His […]

It’s been a long weekend in the Kirkland household. For those of you who follow me on Facebook then you’ll have seen my update on Friday that we were heading in to the hospital. Before you go getting all excited, I am still pregnant and Jonah man is still hanging around. Friday morning around 3:00 […]

One thing I get asked frequently is how do you go about protecting your photos on your blog? There are a lot of photo thieves and weirdo’s out there who have no issues stealing pictures of people, their families, and their children. It’s frustrating and it’s frightening; especially if you are one of the unfortunate […]
