Welcome Back!

Hello everyone!
I missed you all. I had a nice and quick summer and I hope you all enjoyed yours as well. Below I will attach my Summer 2014 Picasa album (please be patient for all the uploads. The app is stupid and slow) for all of you to see what me and Gabby have been up to all summer. We've been to the zoo, to Shreveport for the 4th of July, celebrated my dad's 41st birthday, Went swimming way too much and so much more.  Now I am done with my blogging break and now its time to get busy! :D

Summer 2014 Album

Now as I'm sure we are all aware of now, it's only FOUR MORE MONTHS OF 2014! It sounds so scary when I typed that. I've definitely noticed that the older I get, the quicker time flies. And when you have a child it makes things go by even faster (my baby is almost 2 years old!). Over the summer I have picked up some new addictions. Haha. One of them is Pinterest. Oh how I LOVE Pinterest. I'm not really a DIY kind of person but I like the fact that I can get ideas on just about anything. From parties (ya'll know I love a good party), costumes, food and dessert recipes,  makeup, Holiday crafts, clothes, and I even use it for my photoshoot ideas. My second new addiction is Bath and Body Works. Yes I know. Who already isn't a BBW fan, right? Well it took me a while but I love to buy their scents for each of their monthly "themes". Which leads me to my last addiction; "monthly buys". I go to Victoria's Secret like every 2 weeks for their monthly specials as well as Bath and Body Works. I get my nails done monthly and also all of my waxes. Lol sounds silly but trust me its so worth it. And surprisingly it helps me save a lot of money, That way I'm not walking into the store DAILY to see what's the deals and end up buying things I do not need.

On top of my new addictions there has also of course been some changes in the life of Kortney and Gabriella. Claude has decided to go back to school...out of state. Which leaves me and Gabby pretty much on our own. Which sucks but with God's help and my hard work, we'll be fine. I now work the day shift at my job which means a little less money for me but I'm still managing.
Since Claude decided to move away, it got me thinking about some really important stuff. Why can he go fulfill his dreams but I can't? It's definitely gonna be harder because I have Gabby with me but I have decided it's time to go for my dreams too. While I still can, you know. Time is going by fast and I don't want to hold back and make any more excuses of why I can't do something anymore. I know for a fact that it's my time.

Now for my blog! I know that I haven't been putting in the best time for my blog but I'm adding new things to it. To show you guys what I bought for the month from my "Monthly Buys", I will be posting them :D. Another thing...Every week I will post something called a "Try This". Over the summer I have made it a goal to do something new with my toddler every weekend. Just to beat sitting at home being lazy. Not saying that sometimes that's exactly what we need after a hard week but we all need to get out and explore this earth and God's treasures a lot more. We all need to get out! Lol.

Well that's all for now!
If you want more of me and Gabby daily, you know where to find me! On Instagram and Twitter @KortneyOfficial (I do not have Facebook)

Let's finish this year off with goals being achieved. It will carry over into next year! ;)

Final Trimester! Welcome to the Home Stretch...

I have officially reached the last 3 months of my pregnancy! Yaaaaaay! Baby boy is now the size of an eggplant. I have weighed myself at different places, and i'm actually not sure which one is correct. At the spa, I'm 139....... at my mom's house using her scale, I'm 129..... hopefully I'm 129. Lol. My next doctor's appointment is Tuesday so i'll see how much I REALLY weigh. It scares me because if I really am 139 pounds, that mean's he's going to be huge because I was 139 pounds when I gave birth to Gabby. Speaking of doctor's appointments, I am now going every 2 weeks. Which is good for me because I really have alot of questions now. This pregnancy is so different from my first and I am having so many different symptoms. I am soooo tired of eating. I know that is strange to say coming from a pregnant girl but it's like I'm ALWAYS hungry and I'm ALWAYS  eating. Lol. I'm just really tired of stuffing my face. It doesn't f...

Cinco De Mayo at Ojos Locos!

Just giving you all a little run down on our Cinco de Mayo dress up week at my lovely job. ;-*   As you may know, I DO NOT work Saturdays or Sundays. But due to the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight this past weekend, I had to work to fit the night girl's schedules.     So my day 1 dress up was on a Saturday. The phones were ringing off the hook with people still trying to reserve tables for that night's fight and not to mention, us chicas had to help get everything else set up and ready. So I only had time to take a quick little cute selfie. :)   Day 2 was on a Monday. I was still kinda drained from the weekend but managed to still look the part.   And Day 3 (the final day) on a Tuesday was my favorite (and everyone else's). And you see why? Lol! They all wanted some Hot Tamales ;P I always order my costumes for dress up days and I usually save it for the last day of dress up week. Best for last :) Everyon...

The Birth Story of Dylan Alexander

Lelo Alexander was born into this world on Friday, January 29th at 12:35am. And this is his birth story :) So i'll start it off with Tuesday January 26th at my check up with my doctor. I was hoping and wishing and praying that I would hear some good news such as he is dilated or at least showing signs of readiness. Well, I got what I wished for! She checked my cervix out and said that he had dilated 1 cm. I knew that meant that he is coming soon! She went on to tell me that if he didn't come by February 2nd, she would sweep my membranes to partially induce me and get labor started. I remember what it was like with Gabby. I was over-anxiously waiting and doing everything I could to possibly induce my labor but then as soon as I gave up on trying, she came on her own. I knew better this time lol. I knew that I wanted him to choose his own birthday and I would just (somewhat) enjoy my last days of pregnancy.   What I experienced this time with baby#2, is probabl...
