Mother’s Day Thoughts

May 5, 2011

Rewind back time nearly 10 years ago to when I had my first child. I was ready. I was 26 years old, had a master’s degree in education, had taught kindergarten for several years, and figured if anyone knew kids it was me. I’d taken every class available at the hospital. I’d read every nursing [...]

Why Doing a Triathlon While Pregnant ROCKS

May 2, 2011

A rundown of this weekend’s Windcrest Freshman Triathlon: 1. People made a little extra space for me in the transition area. I must have the words “wide load” written on my forehead (more accurately my backside). 2. My number looked like a loin cloth when sitting under my belly. Totally attractive. 3. It was the [...]

Pregnancy Update: 16 Weeks

April 18, 2011

In just the past week, I’ve been asked 3 times if I’m carrying twins. No I’m not. I reply that I’m like a pop-up tent. Just add a little progesterone and my body loves to pop back into its old pregnant self. I just got back from the doctor and I have officially gained 18 [...]

Surgery Day For My Boy

February 3, 2011

Well, today’s a big day for my little guy. My seven year old is in eye surgery to correct his accommodative esotropia (crossed-eyes). I’m grateful we’ve been able to put this off for 4 1/2 years, however it’s time to straighten those eyes out once and for all. I’m sure it will be a relief [...]

Create

January 3, 2011

Welcome back! Whew — what a great few weeks I’ve had back in AZ and with my family. Yes, the 30 hours in the car, rain, snow, severe dust storms, zero visibility, and hundreds of New Mexican tumbleweeds attack my car like an asteroid shower was all worth the family time. So, it’s a new [...]
