I blinked and she went from this to this. I remember the day we met her at the birthing center in Korea like it was yesterday. When I look at her baby pictures, I see many expressions that we have come to know and love. Like this little smirk, which is super adorable but almost always means she's up to no good. ;) It seems like she grew up so much faster than Owen. He could only say a handful of words by his second birthday whereas she is speaking complete sentences with ... View the Post
What’s in my hospital bag
I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been going to the doctor weekly...for no particular reason. I'm not really sure why they have me come back weekly, I'm feeling awesome and baby is doing great. I basically just sit and wait for 20+ minutes while trying to keep Della from licking the floor for someone to tell me I'm doing great. No one has mentioned the i-word (induction) fortunately and I'm grateful my doctors are willing to work with me and my preferences for the birth. I am very excited to meet ... View the Post
How I meal plan
I posted on my IG stories yesterday about my deep freeze filling up with meals for after baby arrives and got a lot of questions about how I do it.

Tuesday Randoms
- Sweet corn in Germany is just okay but doesn't stand up to Iowa corn. - I just heard "Here by Me" by 3 Doors Down on the radio and it reminded me of when the Viper Pilot was just a 4-dig at the Academy. He went off to basic the summer of 2005 and I listened a bunch sappy/sad songs on repeat. Ahh, young love. Now all I want to do is reminisce on my favorite music from high school all. day. long. This was taken shortly before he left for basic cadet training. THAT HAIR. - Fun fact ... View the Post
Happy Father’s Day
This one goes out to all the papas... fathers, step-fathers, grandfathers, fur dads, priests each and every fatherly figure... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! To my dad: He would do anything in the world for me and he's always got my back. I sat on his knee while he read the morning paper, he taught me to love oldies music, and I attribute my love for I Love Lucy to him. Dad would always slip me an extra $20 on my way out the door, just-in-case. I'm his youngest of three daughters, and though I ... View the Post
