An Unexpected Blessing: An Ode to Ernie

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2012/01/ode-to-ernie.html

An Ode to Ernie. Okay I know what many of you are thinking: Is she seriously writing about her dog? Well yes. Yes I am. I know that this baby girl will bring new trials and lessons, but I can’t help but notice the sweet similarities between how these two adventures began and how they are connected. Ernie was, after all, my FIRST unexpected blessing. I just hope I have enough room in my heart for both of them. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. You are going to be an amazing mother! Wednesday, February 01, 2012.

An Unexpected Blessing: Clementine Lane Kahl

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2012/05/clementine-lane-kahl.html

Although this update is so incredibly late that it most definitely no longer qualifies as “news”, I feel that there should be some sort of announcement post following my long string of anticipatory posts. So without further ado, I’d like you all to meet the love of my life, my little Emme Lane:. Born February 6, 2012 11:58am 8lb.1oz. 21in. With a head full of blonde hair…. She is wonderful and precious and fascinating and simply everything a baby should be and we are beyond proud. The First Day of my Life.

An Unexpected Blessing: The Breastfeeding Battle

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2012/06/breastfeeding-battle.html

Breastfeeding has been a struggle for me from the very first day. Like all new moms, there was a learning curve with the whole process. But instead of being patient and confident that everything would resolve itself organically, I jumped at the first suggestion I received from a health professional. This decision led to a series of events that eventually resulted in my breastfeeding defeat. I may have lost the battle, but I did not lose the war. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

An Unexpected Blessing: Outtakes

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2012/06/outtakes.html

For Father's day, Emme and I decided to try out a little DIY project I had seen on Pinterest as a gift for Chris. It turned out pretty cute, and Chris loved it. Here's the finished project:. But my favorite part is the memory we made, it was so much fun! I could not stop laughing at the way Emme interacted with the big letters. I couldn't even really capture her cuteness on camera, but here's a few of the outtakes:. Thursday, August 09, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). God bless {our} nest.

An Unexpected Blessing: July 2011

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Let's start at the beginning. I had been having some strange "symptoms" for about two weeks, specifically a pair of incredibly tender and sore boobs, among others. But I had started a very intense workout bootcamp around the same time as the soreness, so I attributed it to my new badass weightlifting skills. After all, every other muscle in my body was sore, so why wouldn't my 'pecs' be as well? But as the rest of me began to loosen up and adjust to the new workouts, my boobs just got more sore. Let's be...

An Unexpected Blessing: May 2012

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

It’s official. It is actually happening. My resignation has been submitted. In two weeks, I will finally be a stay-at-home mom. This new role is so much more to me than a job. This is the culmination of a lifetime of day-dreaming, planning and preparation. See, I’ve known from a very young age that I wanted to be a mom. But not any mom, I wanted to be my. Let’s collect all the dead leaves and broken branches in the yard and make a big pile in the driveway! It’ll be fun! My life is about to begin. NOTE: I...

An Unexpected Blessing: August 2011

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

I am officially in trimester two, and I feel like I just found out that I’m going to have a baby. For the first 13 weeks, I was so focused on managing and dealing with the crazy first-trimester symptoms that I never actually thought about why. I was experiencing them. It’s hard for people to understand this, as I certainly wouldn’t have pre-pregnancy, so let me explain. With almost no issues. So naturally, this is what I thought it would be like for me. So once I managed to actually, physically get out o...

An Unexpected Blessing: Father's Day

http://littlekahl.blogspot.com/2012/06/fathers-day.html

On this exact date, also Father’s Day, eleven years ago, I watched my father take his last breath. I might be able to save him. I relived this memory every year on this day, struggling to keep it together while remembering every detail as vividly as if it had happened yesterday. Until last year. Monday, June 18, 2012. This is so beautifully written Lu! You and Emme are so lucky to have a special guardian angel watching over you. Love you! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). God bless {our} nest.

It is extremely important to me that both the baby and I are alert and relaxed through the whole...
