My First Breakdown/ belly
I had my first official crazy pregnant lady breakdown. It was pretty much ridiculous. Dane and I had his work Christmas party to go to at Rockledge Gardens. It was a casual party most of the people were still in their work clothes, just pizza and beer.
Well I start to get ready and what happens? I have NOTHING to wear. My jeans don't fit me and all the shirts I have are from my sister who was pregnant in the summer. So I somehow come to the conclusion that I can not wear a summery shirt (even though it is 80 degrees outside) and jeans that don't fit me. If it was one or the other it would be fine, just not both.
So what do I do you ask? I start crying, and I mean bawling. I can't stop, even though I know that I am being totally stupid. I keep telling Dane how "I don't want to be a crazy pregnant lady, I am so sorry."
I finally stopped crying, even though I still wasn't dressed and ready to go. I was sitting on the computer thinking, trying to figure out the solution to this huge problem, and it starts all over again. The tears start flowing and I simply cannot figure what we should do.
Needless to say Dane says come on lets go, and I get in the car and make a quick trip to Ross, to find something to wear. I ended up getting a really cute dress for $15!
Long story short, I have know idea why my head was processing this "problem" the way it did, all I can do is blame all those stinking Publix commercials that started the flow of the water works earlier in the day.

Belly and Paint
BABY GIRL!
profile of her face, not too clear she was smashed
up against the top of my uterus
fabric details from the quilt, the colors are not very girls so I am using the butterflies from the cream and brown fabric as my inspiration for decoration.
a blurry image of the whole quilt...you get the idea
the rug, art work that i have made so far, and the quilt against the wall color!
back of the quilt, the coral color on the front comes
from the fabric on the back, you just cant see it.

Neti Pot
- fill Neti Pot with luck warm water and saline solution, mixing well
- tilt your head forward and sideways, inserting Neti Pot into nostril number one
- tip Neti Pot until water begins to flow out the other nostril, and Neti Pot is emptied (below)
- repeat step one through four on other side.
Now this may seem like a perfectly normal simple procedure, unless you grew up around the ocean. For those of you who, have ever been knocked down by a wave and then repeatedly hit over and over, (below) the part when you suck up all the salt water into your nose, well that is what this feels like. Dane said it felt like he was drowning. To me it was more the water in the nose burning behind your eyes and running down my throat.

My First Post
Cooper- the puppy/ practice child, Dachshund mix (either Papillon or Jack Russel, not Beagle) gives Dane a run for his money in the adolescence cuteness category
Me (Kayla)- the wife, seamstress, ex-softball player, going to be a mom, with the sisters (wow), 7th grade Christmas dance at Delaura Middle School
Dane and I have been married for almost 4 months now, but we dated for over 7 years prior to the wedding. We went through 3 years of long distance, Savannah to Melbourne dating. It was one of the best thing for our relationship, we grew and got to know each other so much better than we ever would have. I highly recommend the long distance thing, yes it sucks but it will be better in the end.
Cooper is seriously our child right now, he is approx. 6 months old for all we know. That is one of the problems with craigslist, people lie! He wright about 12 pounds and loves to run and play in the back yard. I'm pretty sure he knows that he is training us for a baby, but he might think it is for a 2 year old.
Well I hope that this was a good introduction to the family. We have grown and matured a little since these pictures were taken but only minimally. We look forward to hearing your comments and keeping up with everyone!
