Ghost Peppers

There are just some moments in your marriage that make you bust out laughing.  Like truly fall out on the floor laughing.  Tonight we shared one of those moments.

Friday, Porch & I were out grocery shopping and he found a new type of salsa made by his favorite brand, Mrs. Renfro's.  Personally, I'm not a masochist, but we all know Porch is so we bought it:  Ghost Pepper Salsa.

Last night, we were talking about whatever and he randomly starts talking about how wouldn't it be fun for me to video his reaction to said salsa?   I shrugged and decided I would likely have nothing better to do.

Cue tonight.  We were due to be at a wedding but I was not feeling very well and the heat was kicking my ass.  So we stuck close to home and I took advantage of a cat nap.  Sad, but true.  It's like a thousand degrees here today & while we're kicking it on the couch in front of the fan, watching Parks & Rec on Netflix (we live a pretty classy life), Porch announces, "I think I'm ready to try my salsa now."

I sprint down the hall to get my Flip! video camera.  Wouldn't want you guys to miss this one...

You're welcome in advance.
Also, we probably need to get out more.
Or drink more water or something.  The heat makes people crazy.

Update:  the video I posted was too big I think.  So I made you this amazing video with the Flip software -- enjoy.



The video is actually 10 minutes long.  If you ever want to see the entire thing (we know you don't), we can certainly share that gem with you.



Notice:  We were in no way compensated for posting about Mrs. Renfro's, Netflix, or Parks & Rec, or my Flip camera. It was just a normal Saturday evening at Casa de Los Porchs. But if we had been, that'd be pretty sweet (and a little less depressing, right?).

One Year Anniversary: Kicking off our IVF cycle

Today marks the one-year celebration of the first time I had to give myself an injection for our IVF treatment.  It was a day of SO much emotion, so much suspense, and of course, so much hope.  I remember giving myself the pep talk about the injections -- This is nothing compared to what labor will be like (and I kinda called that one).  It got easier each time, especially as I found others in the blog world who were going through the same thing as I was at the same time. I would do every single thing again, multiple times, if it meant I got to find my way to Charlotte.  This girl is my own living, beating heart, outside of my body.  I am so thankful to the team at IHR  here in Chicago for all of their kindness, support, and knowledge.  The team at IHR helped Porch and I start our little family and we could never fully express the gratitude we have for that gift. I am still thinking of those who are in the midst of their journey to parenthood, thos...

Coming Soon: Baby Porch

After 4 long years and a successful IVF attempt,  Porch & I are excited to share that we have an extra special reason to be excited for football season this year.  We are expecting Baby Porch on August 12th.   :)  It's been quite challenging to keep this secret for 12 weeks but we made it!  I plan to go back and #laterblog about the path we took to get to this badass picture; the blogging community has been an amazing support system to me and I would like to pay it forward by sharing our journey.   Honestly, writing the email to my family this afternoon was the first moment it felt "real" and I proceeded to cry as I wrote it.  Hello hormones, how you doin'?  There was a moment of hesitation before clicking send as I realized I was moving closer to making this pregnancy public knowledge.  But I'm ready.  It's time to share.  Time to celebrate. We are happy to answer questions you might have about our journey. We...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth. Charlotte's Birth Story... I woke up Thur...
