Thankful.

How true is this saying!? Hope everyone is enjoying their week!

Happy Memorial Day!

 

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! For us, it means BBQ's and relaxation. PLUS the hubby doesn't have to work on Monday, so we get extra time with him-always something to celebrate!
But the real celebration is towards all the men and women who served for this country, THANK YOU!!!!!

 

Enjoy the weekend and all the red, white and blue- Does this mean its officially summer.....YES!!!!

Here comes excitement-followed by terror and anxiety!

hello. So, I had the BIGGEST surprise last night. My husband came home early (which is back-flip worthy) to surprise me with a mini get-away to Palm Desert next weekend! There was happiness and hugs and kisses-immediately followed with a HUGE question, is this a baby free get-away?
Needless to say, it is.....
Aubri is a little over 4 months, never having left my side from the moment she was born, can I handle two whole nights away!?  Holy Cow that's a long time!





Let's take a look at where we'll be staying and what we'll be doing with this NEW baby-free time we will be having, maybe it will ease my anxiety :)



Not too shabby! 




OKAY, really!? I might be getting a little more excited :)
 



YUM! I think miss ella will be just fine at grandma and grandpas



 


I will have to do some major stress relief this week to prepare to leaving my precious baby girl for two days, but it looks like we have a lot of fun ahead of us! Wish me luck!



Triton 5K Race June 8, 2013

My husband, myself and some friends registered for the UCSD Triton 5K! That is the same week we all begin our marathon training for the Long Beach Marathon in October. I'm so excited to race my husband, he's a big motivator for me to run :)

 

 

Anyone else interested in running? Soon I will be adding a fitness TAB. I get asked a lot about my training program so I will not only post the entire program on here but I will give eating tips and yummy pre and post workout recipes! Stay tuned!

DIY Baby Tracker

I am realizing how fast babies grow, it's true that if you blink you'll miss it! So, I wanted to create a way to keep track of her growing each month. I wish I would have started this when she was born, but better late than never. Here is what I came up with:


4 Months Old
Height: 24"
Weight: 14.14 lbs
Head: 16.3"
Sleeping: Aubriella is sleeping great, for me. We start her bedtime routine at 7 pm which consists of bath, read to her, put her down. Most nights she wakes up again around 12-1am and then falls asleep again until 6 am.
Milestones: Laughs all the time, reaches for her toys and holds her head and arms up when on her tummy. Also, her reflux is under control and manageable, woohoo!
Fun moment: When she first laughed, we have been trying for weeks to get it out of her. It's the cutest thing and now she does it all the time.
Bad moment: Took her shopping on Mother's Day, and she managed to potty through her diaper on her new cute outfit in the store! Thank goodness I packed a change of clothes!
Teeth: No teeth yet, which means no teething either :) She does LOVE to put her hands and everything else in her mouth for now.
Feeding: Still on Similac Alimentum. Her doctor switched her to less food, more often. So I have her eating 1 1/2 oz- 2 oz every 2 hours and she is a happy girl.

Aubriella Marie Broguiere

January 15, 2013. Welcome to the world, Aubri. We love this little girl more than life itself.

 

I'm starting this blog to document Aubriella's precious moments and all the craziness along the way! 

Here are a few details before we get started...

1. Aubriella's name is special to my husband, Ryan and I. He found it (of course) it means 'God's strength in love' and it is French origin so we were sold almost instantly. PLUS her full name is Aubriella Marie Broguiere- AMB initial's just like mommy!

2. I married the "The Milk Man" His family has one of the only glass bottle dairy's left in the country- and make the BEST chocolate milk you'll ever have, seriously. www.facebook/broguiere-farm-fresh-dairy.com

3.We live in a quite suburb, where I actually grew up. But we plan on raising Aubri to be more open and less bubbled in :)

4. My favorite styles include anything J.Crew or The Loft but I love changing it up as you will see  and might throw in something super trendy like leather leggings and tribal prints :)

5. I cook as often as possible, we try to eat Paleo-ish

6. I (WE) never ever thought we would have kids- and now I want hundreds!

7. Electronic Dance Music.

8. We are a super athletic couple, running marathons, riding dirt bikes, playing and watching sports together. Ryan keeps me motivated and creates our goals- incredible talent

9. Praise the Lord we're saved living in this world :)

WE STARTED A FAMILY!!

WE STARED A FAMILY!

 Let's all get caught up, I stated this blog to document these important moments. We had our little girl on January 15, 2013. Life has begun.

 I have TONS of super cute and creative things I plan on doing as a new mommy, I can hardly wait. Make sure to follow my blog, if you don't already, to see them ALL!
