Welcome to BlogSpot!

I actually started a blog! I hope I remember to update this as often as I possibly can. I start school at WSU on Saturday on top of my degree completion program so if it's not updated frequently please forgive me. Well this is me! James and I have been together since June 2004 and married since May 2008. We have a gorgeous little girl, Claire. James graduated from WSU with a degree in Accounting in December 2006, and I am currently finishing my degree in Business Management at Friends. I graduate this coming May!! I'm a stay-at-home mom and absolutely looooove being at home with Claire. I am eternally grateful to my husband for allowing this situation :)

Since this is the first post maybe I should tell the story of when Claire was born. It's nothing exciting just to warn you. Everything went as normal as possible. I started noticing a difference in the way I was feeling 2 days before she was born. It was James' sister Andrea's birthday and we went to church then out to eat. I was absolutely miserable. I was having contractions but they weren't close enough together for me to go into the hospital. The next morning, however, they were getting more painful. I called my mom and had her come over. She made me an appointment to get adjusted to see if it would help with my labor. I was scared because my cousin (my chiropractor) told me that it could stop my labor or increase it. Fortunately, it in increased my labor. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and Target to walk around and while we were in Target my contractions were starting to be 5 minutes apart so we rushed home. I called James to let him know I needed to go to the hospital, and he made great timing getting me there. After 14 hours of active labor Claire Elise was born at 3:34am on August 21, 2007.


Now Claire is almost 17 months old! Time has flown by sooo fast! She walks and runs all over the place, loves to read books, loves Sesame Street, loves her Baby and her Bunny, and loves her Mommy. She's Little Miss Personality and a joy to have around. My days are filled with new and exciting adventures! You wouldn't believe the vocabulary that little girl has! I need to start making a list of all the words she says.
