Thank you for the sweet comments.. I am so blessed to be surrounded by outstandingly amazing women across the board in my life.. Starting with my Grandmas and trickling down to my Mom, Aunts, Cousins, their children, my Sister of course and her beautiful princess.. Then over to my girlfriends, the friends I've known since I was young, the new friends I've made along the way, the friends of all different walks of life and every beautiful age. This is one area the universe has blessed me abundantly..
I am so happy that at this point in my life I have reconnected with some of the most special girls in my life.. The one's who became my family at a very young age, we saw eachother through the most possible trouble we could find ourselves in, heartbreak after heartbreak and basically every second of the day seeing as all 6 or 7 of us were completely tied at the hip. As I found I was pregnant, I also found three of my best girls who I hadn't talked to in a few years were also expecting.. All within months of eachother.. Not only did it bring us all back into contact, we are now able to share the gifts and trials of this new chapter. And our little ones will grow up knowing and loving eachother like we did.
Also, the babies are arriving in droves within my own family.. We are expecting a handful of new ones come early next year.. It is so amazing to watch this whole pyramid effect growing out of two beautiful people who came together so many years ago!
So I say thank you.. Thank you for being your wonderful, shining selves who contribute so much love, intention, perspective, consideration, fun, and positive power into a world who needs all of your beautiful hearts and minds now more than ever!!

Kristin Lynn;
I am so glad you are doing this blog! It has been fun to read about your daily experiences with "Milkies" (Giselle). :)
We are so blessed to have her in our family and I can't wait to watch that little girl grow. I am so excited you will be here in a few short weeks. I want to hold her and squeeze her and hear about how you are doing with all of it.
Kristin, you have amazed me with how much you yourself have grown in the last few years. Becoming a mom has brought out so many wonderful qualities in you that have always been there, but now you are using them to raise your little girl.
I have never seen you so at peace and full of joy than when you are with your husband and your baby.
Thank you for sharing with all of us the daily grind and being willing to be vulnerable with real stuff that comes with being a mom.
I know that it is helpful for me to read all of these little insights so that when I have kids someday, I can refer back to this instead of calling all of you in the middle of the night, full of tears.
What a blessing this darling little girl has been in all of our lives.
It will be fun to connect with eachother through this blog and how all of us women can ban together through the raising of a child. You know they say it takes a village... so true.
You are NEVER alone, numama!
Love you!
Kristin,
This is so awesome that you are doing this blog! How you find the time or energy with a little one is beyond me - I barely remember the first year with all of the sleep deprivation!!! It's funny how when you have children, nothing you talk about is really taboo (at least it was that way for me). I always found comfort talking to other mom's, in knowing that I wasn't losing my mind at times. I cracked up when you mentioned about leaky boobs! I breastfed with both kids... until they were both 23 months!!! And as trying as it was at times, I am so happy that I was able to do that with my kids. Anyways... I was a huge leaker!!! I would have to double up with the pads in my bras because I would leak at the faintest sound of a baby (and it didn't have to be mine). It was so bad with Drew, that I didn't even leave the house for the first couple of months!! So, one time we went to Costco and Mike waited in the car with Peyton while I ran in to pick up some pictures. I was wearing a tight tshirt and must've heard a baby in the store. When I came back out to the car, Mike just cracked up. I had totally leaked on my right side and the spot was as big as my boob and very noticible--- I was a little embarrassed but laughed myself. Leaky boobs were always a concern for me when I went back to work and had to attend meetings... it wasn't as bad because it had been 6 months by then, but it still happened. So, there you go- you aren't alone! So many stories to share!!! Anyways, looking forward to following your blog. And if you have any questions, just put them out there- you'll probably get a good laugh out of some of the responses, cry at a few and connect with most of them :)
Love,
Marcia
