Despite my months of planning for Rylie's newborn photo session, I was so focused on just getting Emmaline here that I didn't give newborn photos much of a thought. But on Wednesday (4.11.18), I broke out my newborn props and picked up my DSLR to photograph our newest addition. Since my mom was in town, she… Continue reading emmaline’s newborn session – behind the scenes
Emmaline's birth story was so different from Rylie's birth story, and each hospital stay was different as well. After Emmaline's rapid entrance into the world, I was quickly reminded the first night of our hospital stay that newborns do not sleep through the night, and despite the seemingly endless amount of energy I seemed to… Continue reading at the hospital with emmaline
Back at my 37 week appointment, my doctor asked me if I didn’t have Emmaline by my due date week, if I wanted to just wait it out or if I wanted to be induced. Since I had been induced with Rylie, I knew what to expect, so I said I wanted to just be… Continue reading emmaline’s birth story
As I’m sitting here in the hospital staring at our newest addition, all I can really think of is how thankful I am for Emmaline! But in attempts to have some kind of a list for this week’s Thankful Thursday post, there were a few other things that happened this last week that I’m appreciative… Continue reading thankful thursday #14
On April 3rd at 7:25pm, we welcomed Emmaline Victoria into the world! She weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces & is 21 inches long. She is a very healthy baby girl! I knew God had the perfect birth story for her, but I never imagined it would happen the way it did! I can’t wait to share… Continue reading welcome emmaline
LAST BUMP UPDATE!!!!! I'd also like to add that I did not make it this far with Rylie - I was only pregnant for 39 weeks and 1 day before needing to be induced. Whereas right now I am 39 weeks and 5 days. Anyway, here is my last bump update. Thank you so much… Continue reading bump update :: week 39
Easter weekend was full of new traditions, family, laughter, and rest! Let’s start with Good Friday (3.30.18) – I had the day off work, which was awesome! I’ve never worked for a company who gave us that day off so it was refreshing to have that extra day to relax and get ready for… Continue reading easter 2018
At the end of each trimester with Rylie, I rounded up my favorite pregnancy things and would do a little recap of those weeks (you can check them out if you'd like - 1st trimester, 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester). I decided not to do that this time around, but instead I would do a round… Continue reading pregnancy #2 overview
My company has given us Friday --> Good Friday off of work, so it's only a 4 day work week - so you'd think time would be flying... it's not. As we're anxiously awaiting baby #2's arrival, I think the days haven been purposefully going by slowly which is a bummer haha. But quite… Continue reading thankful thursday #13
Rylie gets more and more fun every day. Now that she’s had over a month to practice walking, she is a pro and loves to walk whenever and wherever she can. This has allowed for a different set of adventures than we had even a month ago, which is so fun! I love watching her… Continue reading random photos of rylie – march 2018
