I have had a very trying pregnancy...we thought I lost the baby in the beginning...then found out I didn't 4 weeks later. I lost 11 pounds before I stopped losing weight...I just couldn't eat. Then there was the issues with being an older mother...lots of genetic and chromosomal worries. I have had numerous blood tests, ultrasounds and dealt with anxiety and depression in the beginning. Everything has come back normal! I am now 21 weeks pregnant and due between July 3 and July 6, somewhere right between my fiance's and my birthdays. We found out last Wednesday that we are having a baby boy...William Christopher James. I have taken lots of picture of the baby bump and am feeling the baby kick very regularly...he's an active little man. I will keep you posted on how things are going.

On Our Ordinary Life one can find a long list of topics including family friendly organic recipes, reviews of products, fun family giveaways, fabulous places to visit, real life issues, and many things in between.

Parenting advice is added in along the way including everything from tips for traveling with kids and dealing with the increasing tantrums of toddler and childhood to pregnancy and health with anything else found useful and helpful by their family.

Kristin has been online and consistently creating new and original content under the Ordinary Life brand since 2006.
