I’m 37 weeks pregnant today, and I can feel it. I take great pride in being an “easy pregnant person” (I don’t get too crazy during my pregnancy) but the last 4 weeks tend to be hard for me – physically and emotionally. With everything going on in my world, it’s good for me to […]

bump update :: week 36
Week 36: Symptoms :: She is definitely a lot lower than she has been and I feel a decent amount of pressure “down there” on a regular basis so I know we’re getting closer to the end. I’ll get random physical discomforts too (pings in my belly, sharp but quick pains in various places, lower […]
bump update :: week 35
Week 35: Symptoms :: I’ve been feeling some pressure and pings in parts of my belly but my doctor told me that’s just everything getting ready. Otherwise, I’m just constantly fighting exhaustion. Food Aversions :: Popcorn salts. Aaron bought a variety of flavors for our small group and even though he and our guests rave […]
our maternity session – emmaline
I am definitely someone who puts a high priority on getting maternity photos taken. I find so much value in having photos that show off my bump and the style of our family. I have loved looking back on the ones we took when I was pregnant with Rylie, so I was excited to have […]
thankful thursday #9
Baby Sprinkle (shower), an engagement in the family, ice cream craving fulfilled!? Talk about a week 😉 Don’t let the list fool you though, I had a couple rough days this week too where I wasn’t focusing on my blessings, but on my struggles. But after a good talk with my best friend and […]
bump update :: week 34
Week 34: Symptoms :: Y’all – my back cannot catch a break 🙁 There have been some mornings I wake up in so much discomfort it takes everything in me to even move. I do see a chiropractor and use a heating-pad, but neither of those have “fixed” the discomfort. I also get really thirsty […]
emmaline’s baby shower
On Saturday (2.24.18) I had my baby sprinkle for Emmaline. The theme was “a girls brunch,” and my dear friend, Kendyl, helped me plan it, decorate and host. I think it turned out perfectly – it was small and simple, which is what I really wanted. fun fact :: that pink tassel banner was originally […]
bump update :: week 33
Week 33: Symptoms :: I can’t see my feet haha I’m sure it’s been like this for a couple weeks, but I really took notice of it this week. I officially waddle when I walk which means I don’t walk very fast (which Aaron struggles with because his long legs put him ahead of me […]
bump update :: week 32
Week 32: Symptoms :: I have cramping / discomfort every morning, but my doctor said that’s normal and could also be because of dehydration / hunger. I’ve had a couple headaches… which sucks but chugging water tends to help. I honestly think it’s related to lack of sleep too! Also, when I wake up in […]
bump update :: week 31
Week 31: Symptoms :: Sitting for long periods of time is uncomfortable. So is crossing my legs (which is a bummer because that is my go-to when sitting). I have being trying to be more intentional about getting up and walking around though which helps. I also feel like if I have absolutely anything in […]
