A Quick Intro

     I'm starting a new chapter in my life.  One that the majority of women dream about: becoming a mom.  But with this new chapter, comes some changes that occur in daily living.  Not only do these changes have to apply to me, they also have to apply to my husband.  It'll be a long road through parenthood, but it is a road that must be traveled.  This brings us to why I'm here.

     I'm here to share my experiences.  I'll go through the troubles of learning things the hard way so, hopefully, you don't have to.  Be it limiting how much is spent on eating out or what products to NOT get, I will offer you what I have learned on the journey of a new addition to the family and beyond.

This is me!

     A quick background on me:


This is Kevin, aka Hubby/Daddy and Piggy

     I'm Aimee.  I was born in California, but raised in Georgia, where I lived for twelve years before moving to Mississippi.  I met my now husband, Kevin, in high school and we lived happily ever after.  Right after graduation, he enlisted in the Marines while I went to college.  We got married in June of 2012.  I'm back in my birth state with my husband while he is stationed here.  After a failed first pregnancy, we got a pleasant surprise that we were once again expecting.  Neither one of us thought I could even be pregnant again so soon after the first pregnancy, but thanks to a miscommunication with the hospital about blood work, we discovered that it was possible.  Eight months later, we welcomed Mackenzie into the world.



This is Mackenzie, aka Piggy Baby

     Now, before I get ridiculed about calling my baby "Piggy Baby" and having misunderstandings in people thinking I'm calling her fat or a pig, I have a perfectly logical explanation.  Since the day Piggy was born, she would make pig noises!  The first time she ever mad a pig noise what when she had her first diaper changed.  She started to squirm around and the just randomly let out a pig grunt! 
After that, she would continue to randomly let out grunts and I would ask her if she was trying to be a piggy baby.  Then it stuck.  To this day, she still makes the pig grunts and has added snorts and squeals.  I can't help to think how cute and adorable it is!

     Now enough dilly dallying, it's time to blog!
