Marketmommies: Tell us about your blog.
Courtney: My Blog started out as a way for me to reach out me new people and blog about my life, especially the fact that we were struggling with Secondary Infertility. I needed a way to let out that frustration and see that I was not the only one. I started the blog in October 2009. Now I am 22 weeks pregnant with our second child (a son), so the Blog has gone more into my pregnancy now. It always has bits and pieces about My daughter and Husband and our family. We are a crazy bunch and love it. Life is crazy that's what makes it fun.
Marketmommies: How did you get started?
Courtney: I started doing Vlogs on YouTube in August 2009 and from there found out about blogging and I just jumped in. I've always been the one that had a Journal with me and wrote down EVERYTHING! So I figured I could do this, I wasn't so sure at first but I got more use to it and am slowly getting better (I hope :)). I am coming out of my writers block stage and have a lot of post in my head now and some already written out and ready for the right moment.

Marketmommies: Where do you see your blog in 1 year? In 5 years?
Courtney: I see my blog going far in the next year or so. I am more into it now and can't wait to expand it and get more into the blogging community, I see how amazing it can be for some and I already love how much it has helped me. I have big dreams and hopes for my little baby blog as it hits it's toddler years.

Marketmommies: What did you do before blogging?
Courtney: Before Blogging or Vlogging I just mostly got into forums and such to talk about things and get my opinion out and offer help. I got into my "funk" over the infertility and it slowed me down a little but I got out of it and am definitely headed the right way now :).

Marketmommies: Tell us about a day in your life.
Courtney: A day in the life of me can be really boring, well as boring as it can get when you're pregnant and have a 2 year old diva. Daddy usually goes to work and it's just Haleigh (my daughter) and mom time. She has gotten to where now she'll in our room and jump in bed with me. Most mornings we lay there and she talks to her little brother or we'll get out the doppler so she can hear his heartbeat (she thinks that's amazing). We then get up and eat breakfast and watch PBS or Nick Jr or whatever she may want that day (yep I let my 2 year old watch TV *gasp* lol). When it's not horribly hot and feeling like you're gonna die as soon as you walk outside we usually catch up with some friends at the park or meet up at an inside playground. We eat lunch (usually at home occasionally out with friends) then work on songs, practicing numbers, letters, or whatever else she wants to. Haleigh has her nap time around 3pm everyday (sometimes more easily than others). Then Daddy comes home and we hang out with Daddy. Some evenings I have school and I get to leave then and Daddy & Haleigh have their time. Other times we just get errands ran or hang out at the house or go visit family. We really don't have any set schedules and we let life take us day by day however it would like to take us. Either way we hit the sack, Haleigh around 8pm and Mommy & Daddy around 11pm then start the next day.

Marketmommies: Tell us about your family.
Courtney: I am very blessed to have the amazing family that I have. I never thought I would be that "oh so cliche' High School Sweet Heart" but life leads you in funny directions sometimes. We met in High School our Freshman year in Chorus Class. We started dating the next year and never left each other's side. Our Senior year we started talking marriage and the next year we were married. Three months before the wedding we found out we were pregnant and the day before our wedding we found out we were having a daughter. Haleigh was born November of that year and was the best thing that had ever happened to us! She is so amazing and beautiful and smart! She amazes us more and more everyday. When she was 10 months old we decided we were going to start trying for another baby, we wanted them close together. That, however was not in the cards for s. A year passed and we still were not pregnant. Finally after 21 cycles trying we are pregnant! The baby is due 10 days after Haleigh's 3rd birthday and we couldn't be happier! In mid June we found out we are expecting a SON! Are family is crazy, but we love life and can't wait to welcome our son.
