The worst first blog ever, probably.

Let me start off by letting you all know that I am not a blogger. I love like technology and all, but I guess you could call me "old school" - meaning I'd just rather call you on the phone or send you a text message full of emoji's or stupid pictures I find funny.

However

 Life has changed.

 A LOT.

(like, a lot a lot)

 

It seems I have forgotten my manners. My name is Katherine. I am 28 years old and currently living in Savannah, Georgia with my main man of 8 years - 3 of them happily married- (the rad BMX dude below). I am in school studying to transition from RN working on pulmonary floors to the Neonatal ICU to currently a private practice- to become a Nurse Practitioner. I love to cook and travel and laugh. I also indulge in reading non-nursing books and I am a slave to a good spray tan, a dirty joke and a good sale.

 

I should also let you know that the real love of my life is the sweetest little Duck Toller you've ever seen. Her name is Roxy.

 

 

(pleeeaassseeee hand me a Cheeze-It Mom)

aka My Muffin-Doodle, The Muffin Puffin, Roxy Bear, Baby Giiirrrllll...the list goes on.

 

This is me. Well, on my wedding day about 3 years ago.

 

 

There is a reason that I chose to put up pictures which aren't so current (drum roll)

 

(insert scared s**tless faces here)

 

Ta-Da!!! Baby on board. Reason numero uno that I started this blog. I am a FIRM believer that social media is being assaulted by pregnant women and new moms with 36452923690 pictures a minute of the same sleeping/pooping/smiling faces of their children or (WORST EVER) pictures of their "baby bump". Gross. Or how about vivid descriptions of baby's latest bowel movement? Wanna know everything I've done in the last 15 minutes? Wanna hear about how FABULOUS my child is every few hours (in case you forgot?!?!?!). That is for the birds in my opinion. If people really think everyone on social media care that you made a crock-pot meal, breast fed your baby, pressure washed your siding and ran 18 miles this afternoon...you are mistaken. Most of us wanna see funny pictures and highlights about the things that make your life interesting and reiterate the reason we are friends. Unless your that weird Aunt who keeps inviting me to play Farmville. I love you for who you are. So if you are unprepared for my opinion this is MY blog, so my opinion is what is on it. You chose to check it out and read it. Love it or leave it.

 

I digress. The purpose of this page is to keep people who CARE about my gross sweet little growing belly. Those who anxiously await to hear how many weeks I am or what item of fresh produce relates to the size of the baby. As we progress, I will post pictures of our nursery (ugh, don't EVEN get me started on THAT ridiculousness) and, of course, day to day pictures of our growing babe on board. We are lucky to have friends and family stretching from Boston to Cajun country, friends in foreign countries and loved ones on tiny islands. Here is where you can CHOOSE to keep up with things that (unless I know and love you) I personally wouldn't want to see. Nothing fancy. Just Katherine, (Roxy) and Petey and our newest member of the Peters party.
