I'm 21 years old (I'll be 22 on Dec. 16th!) and am happily married to my best friend, Kamil. We had our first baby, a little girl, on May 28th, 2008 (my birth story is in my blog section). Her name is Alyvia Paige and she's the most beautiful creation I've ever set my eyes on. I'm so blessed to be her mommy!

Alyvia is now 17 months old and she changes every day. She's walking, practically running, she says "No", "yuck", "Mama", "Dada", "papa", "hi", "bye bye", "duck", "dog" (she also barks!), "baba" and sometimes we get her to say "I love you". She has her own personality and her own lil' attitude! She's an amazing little girl, a quick learner and she grins a grin that could melt the very heart of Antartica.

I've been a member of this site since I was around 6 weeks pregnant with Alyvia and am now coming back because I'm pregnant again :D I had one miscarriage before getting pregnant with Alyvia and I'm praying that this is a healthy pregnancy and won't end in tears. I'm due March 25th, 2010 and am SO excited. Alyvia and her little brother or sister will be 22 months apart. Hopefully they'll be best friends!

I look forward to chatting with you ladies and making new friends! My first time around on here, I made 7 very dear, very close friends and we still talk every single day. We actually have our own message thread on facebook :)

Congrats to the new mommies and mommy-to-bes, & good luck to those TTC!

*Monday, Oct. 24th, 2009: Alyvia will be 17 months on Wednesday. TIME FLIES TOO QUICKLY! She's her own little person now and it makes me sad! I'm very happy that she's developing like she should and that she's such a beautiful little girl, but I'm sad that she's no longer my little baby - that I can't hold her and cuddle her without her giggling and trying to push me away, so that she can get down and run around! I cherish the moments that her and I have now, as a "big girl". She's running finally. And it's SO CUTE. She can't do a full out run yet, but when she tries, she kind of turns her body left and right, back and forth, and she runs and her right hand is bent at the wrist and it flails to the side and in front of her as she goes :) Her favorite word now is "baby". She calls EVERYTHING baby. But she really recognizes what a baby is and will point, get all excited and repeat "baby! baby!" over and over. She will pat my tummy and say "baby" too, but I don't think she realizes yet what's really going on. She's saying "papa" & "deto" (grandpa for my dad and step-dad), "mamama" for grandma, "mamaw" for grandma (my mom lol) and of course she says mommy and daddy. And she's learning how to say "nasty"... LOL! She thinks daddy is nasty lately (so does mommy! hahah!) and she will grab the bottom of her shirt and pull it up so she can hold it over her nose :) That's my girl!!

I make tutus!! I don't have my own website as of yet, but I do have an etsy account... I'm trying to get that up and running. But right now, I'm taking orders through my email. The above pictures are just a couple of what I've done so far. I even made one for an 8 week old Golden Retriever!

-12 months and up, the recommended length is 9 inches (as shown in pics - if you want a different length, please specify. Newborns are generally done with 5-6 inches.. it's cute and poofy!)
-Each tutu has a bow on the back and has ribbon on 3 sides of the tutu
-If you are ordering one, I need the baby's waist size. I don't have an "average" recommended size for this, as each baby is different, depending on their weight and age.
-I also need your color choices! I can do all one color, 2 colors, or multiple colors. Just tell me what colors you want and I can more than likely do it. If I don't have a specific color, I will let you know.
-I can put flowers, faux diamonds and those types of details on the tutu. If you have something in mind, let me know and we'll figure out the cost. (again, bows are included!)
-I'm trying to get up and running.. and once I do that I'll be adding in headbands/hair bows. So please stay tuned!
-Any questions, and to place orders, please email me! pinkb00h@yahoo.com (in the subject line, PLEASE put in something about a tutu, so that I know and don't pass it off as junk mail!)

**Prices generally run between $25 and $30 - adding the diamonds, flowers, etc will up it just a little.. no more than 3 dollars**
