It was on this day, ten years ago, that Jared and I first became marathoners! We were engaged, new to San Diego, just a couple of 20-somethings, who set out to do the “impossible.” It’s a day that changed my life — ranking up there with our wedding day, the births of our children, and… Continue reading The First Marathon: RnRSD 2009
Last weekend marked four months since Leo joined our family. It’s been a whirlwind of joy, though we’ve had our share of challenges in adjusting to life as a family of four, managing school and job changes, minor house catastrophes, postpartum recovery, and general life stuff (the laundry never ends). But around the dinner table… Continue reading Leo: 4 months old!
A few weeks ago, I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego half-marathon. I was only nine weeks postpartum at the time, and probably would’ve opted out if it were any other race, but I’ve run this one every year since we moved to San Diego in 2009. I couldn’t break my streak! [*I should… Continue reading #RnRSD Race Recap 2017
How we’re growing?: On Thursday, we’ll be 36 weeks pregnant, which means baby’s about 18.5 inches long, 6+ pounds, and the size of a papaya or a cabbage patch doll! With (about) a month to go, I could start saying “I’m in my ninth month,” but I haven’t said those words outloud. I like pretending… Continue reading Cookie: 36 weeks
How we’re growing?: At 34 weeks, baby’s around 18 inches long, 5 pounds, and the size of a cabbage or cantaloupe. Although Liv was born right on her due date, I’ve had a gut feeling (and so many dreams that) this little guy’s coming early, so I hope he hangs out another 3 weeks until… Continue reading Cookie: 34 weeks
How we’re growing?: At 24 weeks, our little guy’s the size of an eggplant and about 1.5 pounds. I can tell he’s going through a growth spurt, because my appetite and belly are growing big time! It still surprises me every time I catch my reflection in a window or mirror, so I can’t help… Continue reading Cookie: 24 weeks
Written: Thursday, 11/10 How we’re growing?: At 20 weeks, baby’s about the length of a banana (or the size of a gameboy! Remember those?!) and nearly one full pound! The bump is definitely growing… How I’m feeling? / What we’re up to?: These last couple weeks have been so full of awesome, that all my… Continue reading Cookie: 20 weeks + Race Recap
Written: Thursday, 9/29 At 13 weeks, Cookie was the size of “Nemo,” and by 14 weeks, has grown into a “Cinderella mouse!” We’re also officially in the second trimester! My little baby bump is getting more obvious, though I’m still disguising it under big, flowy shirts most of the time. How I’m feeling?/What we’re up… Continue reading Cookie: 14 weeks
As many of you know by now, we’re expecting Baby Lurie #2, due March 30th, 2017! It’s hard for me to believe, but that puts me at 20 weeks pregnant — the halfway mark! As for Liv, she asks me every day: “When is it gonna be March?” Big Sister is ready! On Monday, 11/7,… Continue reading Baby Lurie #2 – It’s A…
Oh hey, it’s August already! I guess I should (finally) recap June, huh? We kicked off June with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon, which you can read about here. It was my last race til November (at least for now), but I’ve been living vicariously through my girl, Eve, who broke 4-hours at Rock… Continue reading June Rundown
