The Last Time as Three

When I found out I was pregnant with Quin I was so excited, but we waited to tell everyone for quite some time. I had been pregnant a few months previous and then had a miscarriage. I was so looking forward to having another little baby and became very, very afraid once we found out we were pregnant again. Little Quin was strong and healthy and my pregnancy ended up being a piece of cake! It felt so good to get past the first trimester and at that point we started telling everyone. May 20th was my due date, and so we patiently awaited the arrival of our newest little one. In the meantime we spent lots of time with Ruby & enjoyed every moment we all had together as just three. My sister (who is a photographer) did a photoshoot of us right before I had Quin. I love these pictures! 

Ruby Lee

Now that you've heard about me and Adam I think it's time to talk about the best thing that's happened to us after marriage. On July 11th of 2009 we welcomed little Ruby Lee into our lives! It was a long and hard pregnancy, but soooo worth it! She has been a constant joy to us and is the funniest, most stubborn, strong willed, loving, sweet, girly, rough, energetic, kissable, beautiful gal in the world!

I guess if I'm going to be telling you about my life now, we should go back to the beginning for some background. Five years ago (almost exactly) I met this guy with long hair who looked more like he belonged in 1975 than 2006. He was funny. Real funny. A couple months after we met, he asked me to go to a concert with him, but only after stating that his friend had cancelled and he couldn't find anyone else to go....some two months later we were "official," he proposed the next summer and we were married the fall of 2007. Our first apartment or "love nest" was small, but we thought it was fabulous. At first. For about one month. When I realized you could hear the guy upstairs peeing, that may have been the moment the blissful "just married" blinders fell from my eyes. Although we have a lot of wonderful memories of our first apartment, we were so very thrilled when we got a call from Adam's uncle who told us that the unit next to them had opened up in our FAVORITE beach city three blocks from the most gorgeous beach in Southern California (my opinion!)! Three days before we moved out of our place I had a knock on my door. I opened it to find this large and goofy boyish looking "man" who said "Hi. I'm your new neighbor next door. If you guys have any noise complaints or anything is bothering you, can you please come tell us first before you report us? Oh and you guys are welcome to come over and party ANY time!" Needless to say, we couldn't wait to move! We have now been in our "beach bungalow" for more than three years & we don't ever want to leave. My balcony overlooks Pacific Coast Highway (you get used to the noise) and we are a hop, skip & a jump away from the ocean. It's almost comical that we live in this neighborhood, considering most of the houses start at 1.5 million!  (That's for the one & two bedroom places that haven't been redone.) Sometimes I imagine myself in one of those mansions, but really, I'm completely content with my adorable hubby & two beautiful babies in our little two bedroom one (very pink) bath.

Return to blogging

Somehow I always seem to forget the fun of blogging which I blame entirely on facebook. Facebook is very convenient, but not as deep. I figured since I have a lot of couch time with the new little one, I should put it to good use and start up my family blog. Our daily lives are pretty much just about the babies, but they sure are fun & keep us on our toes 24/7. Hopefully they will entertain you as well!
