About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Girl in bird bath

I'm married to my man Ben (June 2 was five years!!) and we just had our first baby!! We love her so much!!! It's very amazing that we are officially parents! WOW! It's a wonderful and enjoyable gift to have a child. I am enjoying life as a momma way more than I thought possible!! Now my days are filled with coos and cuddling, kisses and snuggling. Who could ask for anything more? ..

My Interests

I enjoy being outdoors (especially in Oregon summers),getting together with friends/family, and playing boardgames. I also enjoy car camping on the Oregon Coast; hiking on mountains;diving in the ocean; reading; scrapbooking; emailing; playing my guitar....it's endless really.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ; Gabriel; Daniel; Martin Luther; Joan of Arc; C.S. Lewis.

Music:

I have a lot of variety in my taste, and it can change quickly. Mostly I like pop, contemporary Christian, and anything to dance to.

Movies:

I'm very influenced by film and like to stick to drama/action, romance, and family movies. One of my favorites is Message in A Bottle.

Television:

What is that? I don't have time anymore for those frivolties...:p

Books:

A&P Lab Manual, A&P Text, and notes from lecture.

Heroes:

Joan of Arc.

My precious girl

Being a momma

Precious Amelia is now six weeks old. I can hardly believe that she is a month and a half! She is less red than she was, sleeping well, and eating well. As of Friday Amelia was 8lbs 11 oz. I'm guessin...

Breastfeeding and what they don’t tell you

So what they tell you is to breastfeed. What they don't tell you is how difficult and painful it can be. I began nursing Amelia right away and thought the pain would ease. The midwives and assistants ...

The Arrival of Amelia Rose

Sunday evening I was getting ready to go meet friends at the gym. Suddenly, there was a small gush. This gush was unusual and since I had gone to the bathroom minutes prior I wondered what had just ha...

So last week I found out that I was short on my QTD Hrs. This translates that if I stuck with my original plan of going on maternity leave just before my due date, than I would now lose my health bene...

Baby on the Move

Today was neat. After we went through the history and stuff the midwife had a doppler done. It took her awhile to find the baby as he/she was down lower in the uterus. Once she found the baby and we l...
