I was sitting in the hospital bed holding my fresh baby while thinking what I wanted this summer to be like. I obviously hadn’t given it a ton of thought, and I knew it wasn’t going to be wild & crazy because we’d be caring and adjusting to our newest crew member. But I still […]

pregnancy overview #4
I did overviews of each trimester with Rylie (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and whole pregnancy overviews with Emmaline and Paisley.

the days before spencer
The days leading up to Spencer’s arrival were very intentionally spent. Plus, my mom was in town (so I have lots of pictures ;P ). So I thought I’d share some of what the days before Spencer looked like and share some last photos of me / the bump. My 38-week doctor’s appointment was pretty […]
spencer’s birth story
The days leading up to my actual labor and delivery were pretty full of activity. I intentionally walked a lot and spent quality time with the girls knowing our time as just us ladies was coming to a close. Monday night (5.24.21) I went to bed cramping, only to be awoken a few hours later […]

one-on-one dates with the girls
It’s been a desire of my heart to do one-on-one dates with the girls on a regular basis, but with Aaron’s ever-changing work schedule it’s been hard to find a way to consistently spend one-on-one time with each of the girls. But with Baby Boy coming shortly, and knowing my time would be consumer with […]
the early hospital visits
I mentioned these stories in my 35 & 36 bump updates, but I after the response I got from my social media post sharing a summary, I thought it was worth highlighting these situations in their own blog post. || At 35 weeks pregnant, I went to the hospital on Monday (4.26.21). I was having regular, […]
