My Favorite IPhone Apps

I am an iPhone owner and have found a few apps that I have grown to enjoy a lot over the last 3 years. I figured I would share them with you! Maybe you have them or maybe you never knew they existed! These are my favorite 8 apps from the apple store.

Baby Bump - I have tried multiple pregnancy tracking apps and I have found Baby Bump to be the most accurate and informative with both day to day and weekly updates on the baby's size and weight, along with what may be going on with the mom or dad to be.


Blogger - I enjoy the blogger app because it makes it simple for me to blog on the go and have access to edit posts or even add photos to my posts all in one area! 


Doing Time - I love the Doing Time app! It makes a pie chart of how much time has been completed as well as how much time is left in the countdown. You can edit the title to whatever the countdown may be for, enter a start date and an end date, and you can also change the colors! (Standard is red and green pie chart with white background while mine is pink and blue pie chart with a green background.) 


iLoader 2 - I take ALOT of photos when it comes to my phone. This is the best app I have found that allows me to upload multiple videos as well as multiple photos to Facebook quickly and easily. The app allows you to add captions and tag your friends or even update your status all without opening Facebook! 


Pinterest - I spend a great amount of time on Pinterest between the humor boards, quite boards, craft boards, recipe boards, and as of late, the baby shower/birthday boards. I enjoy the app over their website as it allows me to comfortably pin or browse items I pinned previously both at home and on the go! 


Skype - Skype has been great at keeping me in touch with my friends and family both near and far. Being a military spouse, seeing family can be difficult, and skype has been there to help keep us closer.


Status Shuffle - Status shuffle is enjoyable to me when I need entertainment. I can sit and browse status' for random topics for hours when I can't sleep or I have some down time to myself.



Stumble Upon - With this app, I can catch up on crafts, couponing, books, movies, fitness, and many other topics. I love that there is always something new to read or look at and you can edit it to get posts about what your interested in! 


I will be getting a new phone in a few days (converting to the Galaxy S4), so
I would love to hear from the android customers as well! 

What are some of your favorite apps and what type of phone do you own?

Mixed Emotions

I keep trying to tell myself..."It's just another day.", "This day isn't any different than yesterday."

November 30th, 2012...I was 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant with our baby girl. A day that would make another life changing event for my life, my husbands life, our daughters life, and the rest of my family's life. We gained another precious angel that day. We miss you greatly baby girl! 



And here I sit, 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant today, with our precious peanut. I am mixed with way too many different, conflicting emotions. 

Scared....scared that I will be right where I was on November 30th, met with the stages of grief starting all over again.

Sad....sad that I never got to count 10 little fingers and 10 little toes or smell that newborn smell and cuddle my baby girl for hours on end.

Tired....tired of trying to always be so strong just to be knocked down by the smallest of things. 

Angry....angry that something I may or may not have done could be why we gained another angel.

Guilty....guilty that I moved forward so soon and became pregnant again.

Hopeful....hopeful that I will get to bring my peanut home healthy and alive this pregnancy.

Confused....confused as to why my baby girl had to be taken away so soon after my family was blessed by the news of her arrival.

Nervous....nervous that when I am not feeling my peanut move around or kick that something just isn't right.

Stressed....stressed over anything and everything that has been going on in the last month in a half and will be going on for the next few months.

Blessed....blessed because I was given another chance at creating a new life regardless of my past. 

Happy....happy that I get to share all these special moments with my toddler who enjoys hugging, kissing, singing to, and rubbing our little peanut.
