bump update :: 29 weeks
On Sunday (3.14.21) I said to Aaron in passing, “I’m 29 weeks today. That means we have 10 weeks before he’s here.” we both sat silently in that statement for a moment. With all three of the girls I went into labor within the 39th week, so it’s easy to assume the same will happen […]

letters to spencer || 28 weeks in my belly
dear spencer, I was honestly so excited when I realized this was the week to write you a letter (just like I did for your sisters). So many boy-mamas tell me I will love having a son. That they are so sweet and loving, usually snuggly and rambunctious. But your daddy says sons will do […]

1st & 2nd trimester oily must haves
Although this is my fourth pregnancy, this is my first oily-pregnancy and man, have I been able to tell a difference in some areas. I am no medical professional and definitely did a lot of research before this pregnancy. I’m fully comfortable using the products/oils I am but use your own discernment and talk to […]

Also a constant desire for water (which […]
