My Intro!

My name is Katie! I am a home grown southern girl that loves anything and everything girlie! I'm an only child, raised in a pretty loving home on the coast of Carolina. I dreamed my whole life of getting married and having babies and vacuuming (seriously... crazy). And once or twice I wanted to be an astronaut...

When I was in high school I met my soul mate. I had the biggest crush on this silly boy. I told him we were going to get married one day. I get what I want.

When I was 19 I married this poor unwitting soul who had no choice, and we started a life together. We've been through so much! Deaths, accidents, financial stresses, school graduation, work, etc. Probably the hardest things we've had to go through as a couple was expanding our family.

In early 2008 I found out I was PREGNANT! Dream come true! A week later I lost it. A little over a year, many many tears, some super cool fertility drugs, couple bottles of wine, and my favorite foreplay-positive ovulation tests- we got pregnant again! This time with TWINS!

At 7 something weeks I found out I had lost my sweet Baby A. But there was Baby B, thriving along, hanging out, happy as can be. I always wanted to call a fetus "Squishy" like Doary calls that jellyfish in Finding Nemo. You know the one right? "I will call you squishy and you will be my squishy." I was always saying Baby B or Squishy and my mom started calling him Bumble B. The name STUCK and my Squishy dreams are gone, but in place is the cutest little baby you ever saw through an US probe!

Little Baby Bumble B is due in January 2010, and I am counting down every day. I can't wait to meet that squishy face (I sneak it in when I can...) and kiss him all day long.

As I am becoming a mother, I have learned a lot of new things about myself. Like... I WANT to cloth diaper, I am freaking about bumpers and registered for a breathable one, and I don't like prissy baby boy stuff.

I've been blogging for over a year about loss, infertility, and my journey so far in my pregnancy. I am ready to move on in the world and talk about my BABY, cloth diapering, product reviews, and have giveaways! I want to join the fun WAHBloggingMs and become one. I want to Twitter all day (okay, I already do that, but it'll be different now, I just know it!). I want to post a billion pictures of my cutie and all his crap (stuff, not actual poop. eww). But I don't want to vacuum anymore.

If you are at all interested in reading about my journey thus far, feel free to ask for the URL! I'm keeping it from my InRealLife people, since, you know, I talked about pretty raw emotions, doing it, and a lot of times, them hehehe.

Baby Bumble B is here! He is the love and light of my LIFE! For his birth story posts click here and here. He was born 6 weeks early at 34 weeks. He stayed in the hospital for 15 days, and now is home with me and his daddy making every single one of our days brighter than we could ever imagine!
