We are Young

Mike and I are overwhelmed with joy to announce that we are expecting baby No. 2... due March 20, 2014.  It's been a long road since losing Madison in November but we are in a good place,  and excited to start this new journey together as a family.   After many Dr's appointments, specialist appointments, blood work and genetic testing I am happy to say that we are healthy and taking every extra precaution to ensure a successful pregnancy.  I have been diagnosed with Factor V heterozygous blood clotting disorder.  This mutation can increase my chance of developing abnormal blood clots, usually in your veins.  Most people with factor V never develop abnormal clots but women may have an increased tendency to develop blood clots during pregnancy due to the increased amount of blood flowing through the body.   In addition to my prenatal vitamins, I take a "baby"  aspirin  (81 mg), folic acid supplement, progesterone, and a daily injection of Lovenox in the abdom

A once in a lifetime experience... BEYONCE was in my backyard! Literally, she came to the Gwinnett Arena and there was no way that I was going to miss her.  I was able to secure our tickets by the skin of my teeth and we waited almost five months for the day to arrive.  I will tell you that it was well worth the wait. The show was amazing and we sang and danced for over two hours to "Survivor, Halo, Crazy in Love, Irreplaceable and many other Bey fav's. It was a night to remember!
