I'm Knocked Up

Baby Bump Update: Week 22/23

Anne Younger Leave a comment

On Friday, I met with my OB-Gyn to go over the results from our ultrasound 2 weeks earlier. Basically, she told me the same thing the nurse practitioner did. So, as of right now we wait until my appointment on May 10th when we will have a repeat ultrasound to see if things have changed. We are hoping that the cerebral ventricle hasn’t become bigger and that the little guy shows us the other side of his fabulous brain. If there is a change or we can’t see things, I will be setting up an appointment with maternal fetal medicine to find out what the next step is.

Other than that, his heartbeat is very strong and he is extremely active on the inside!

So again, prayers are more than welcomed until we know more about our little man.

Thank you!!

It's A Family Affair

The 2013 NFL Draft Starts Tomorrow…..

Anne Younger Leave a comment

As I’m sure many of you know, we are huge football fans around here. Tomorrow, the 2013 NFL Draft will kickoff and for the next 4 days, we will be tuned in to it. This year however is much different for us. This year, we are praying to hear one name be called. This year we want to hear Mike Taylor from Wisconsin goes to……

after those words, I’m not real picky as to what is said but I wouldn’t complain if it was the Green Bay Packers.

Why does this matter so much to us?

Mike Taylor, he’s my cousin.

He’s a badass ball player and he deserves to play in the NFL.

I’m not just saying that because he is family.

He has the stats to back it up.

The boy is dedicated.
He works damn hard.
And he is one hell of a fighter.

So if you have a moment, wish my cousin Mike good luck!
(And please, have a few drinks for me to calm my nerves!)

Good luck Mike, we are all cheering for you!!

Taco Casserole {Recipe}

Anne Younger Leave a comment

Tonight, 14 year-old Zack was in charge of dinner and let me tell you, he did a darn good job. I’ve been teaching him some basic cooking skills the last fews months and he has been doing great. Tonight he whipped up a Taco Casserole that we found on Pinterest and adapted to our own after making a few changes.
