Love is in the Air

Met this guy towards the end of 2004 we were friends getting to know each other, from there we became boyfriend and girlfriend on January 14, 2005! He moved in a few months later, as people thought we were moving to fast. When November of 2007 came around he popped the question and of course I said Yes! Than planning stage had started, and we were planning a wedding and got married November 1st, 2008. Yes I got married at 22 to my second boyfriend, and till this day after being married for five years going on six years this November....I can honestly say it has been by far the best decision I made to say Yes to him and  becoming his wife, and I'm glad I got this amazing guy in my life as my husband and my best friend!

It's a blessing each and everyday I get with him, and it's amazing how each passing day my love for him just get stronger. You know after so many years I'm happy to say he still gives me butterflies till this day!!

Please feel free to share your love in the air topic! 

We are now in August

Hello August and the month we have been waiting for...

This month hopefully my husband and I will be welcoming our first child a boy at that to our family, and we couldn't be happier! My doctor appointments are now every Fridays and hopefully tomorrow we get some news that the labor process has started, but we shall see tomorrow. In the meantime I'm starting to think I can't do it and my biggest fear is having a c - section, but I know with my husband, and my great support system behind me and with God by my side I know I can and will do it and I will have a normal birth which I have faith I will have it that way....no going to doubt it!!

No matter what I have faith and will not let nothing bring me down including myself because I know I can do it and will do it, and at the end everything will be Worth it and just Fine!

Another updated coming soon!

By the way how did you feel about giving birth? Did you think you couldn't do it? Please share!

Thanks,
Lauren

Baby updated

Doctor appointment went well on Friday and of course baby boy had a strong heart beat as always. As for me, I'm starting to feel very light contractions and I'm thinking he will come early than his due date which is August 30..beside that I'm doing great and hanging in there along with my husband and just waiting on the day he decide to come into the world, and we are truly excited! As of today I'm 34 weeks and 2 days!!

Until next time!!

Crafty idea: Thanks to pinterest

This pass weekend we had our baby shower and during the planning stages pinterest was my best friend. I would get ideas and put my touch or add a twist to it to make it our own.

Here is an idea I got from pinterest

Instead of using a guest book, or creating one for the guests...we got story books for him, and had our guest write a message or say hi! The books will last a lifetime with the messages, and it got his book collection started as well!

Need ideas or help with planning a party of any kind, baby shower, or a even a wedding, or even other things..don't hesitate go to pinterest it will help you with the planning or even the crafty side. If you never used pinterest or don't know what it is, please go to pinterest.com and take a look at it..you will get hooked the moment you look, so be ready!!!

Have you use pinterest for anything in your life, please share!

A crafty idea for a daddy to be

Thanks to pinterest I got the idea of a daddy's survival kit for my husband, and got some of his favorite snacks and put a meaning for each one. This pass weekend was our baby shower, and I surprised him with a gift from..here you go:

Babe,
Coke: To help keep you awake until I'm ready to pop. 

Seeds: For the seeds of knowledge and wisdom you'll sow

Snickers: To remind you to laugh when you feel like crying.

Starbursts: For that extra boost of energy.

Tissue: To wipe away all the tears  . . . yours, mine and our baby boy’s

Advil: For when all fails...take two! 

Crown: To celebrate the new addition to our family, and you deserve it after everything! 

You are going to be an amazing dad, and I can't wait to start this new chapter  with you.

I love you and will always love you!

Love,

Your wife

Lauren

Influenster Spring Fling VoxBox Reviews

I received these products complimentary for testing proposes from influenster and these are my honest opinions!

Rimmel London scandaleyes retro glam mascara

Love the brush and love how it's easy to come off once my day is over. My lashes are even fuller and prettier when I use this product. Available in stores for 5.99 but it's kind of pricey but worth it. 

Kiss everlasting French nails

Why pay full price at the nail salon where you can get this kit anywhere in stores all for 6.49, and on the bright side no worries about polish. The nails from the salon last about two weeks before getting a refill, we'll these last about the same time if you take care of them.

Playtex sports fresh balance 

I have try this product before and love how it doesn't move on you or make you from uncomfortable while moving or playing sports. Available in stores and expected to pay 3.99 to 4.99.

Nivea skin firming hydration lotion 

Leave skins refresh and doesn't dry out to quickly and result start to after two weeks true to what the product said. Price is kind of high but you will not be upset with the result! 2.45 for 2.5oz or a big bottle for 10.99 size 13.5oz.

Softlips cube 

It's a square tube no need to use your figures to apply to lips. I get burn quickly when I'm in the sun and this is prefect size to take with you and plus it protected lips from sun. It's small wish price was lower, but it's worth it and helps keep you protected without having to applied other products to lips. 

Available in stores for 3.49.

Thanks,

Lauren
