I did overviews of each trimester with Rylie (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and whole pregnancy overviews with Emmaline and Paisley. Baby #4 was very different than my first three pregnancies, so I wanted to round-up some noteworthy things. Food Facts: My most common craving throughout the pregnancy was MEAT. mainly fried chicken. & fruit! My most […]

3rd trimester oily must haves
I shared my must haves for those 1st & 2nd trimester days – now I’m excited to share with you what I used on the regular during my 3rd trimester. Please remember I am not a medical professional and definitely did a lot of research before this pregnancy. I’m fully comfortable using the products/oils I […]

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, […]

baby shaver #4 is a…
Like Emmaline & Paisley, Aaron and I planned to find out the gender of our fourth baby at 16-weeks. The way my appointments fell I didn’t have a normal appointment scheduled with my doctor, but she told me I could come in just for the sneak peek ultrasound so that’s what I did. I scheduled […]

But my curiosity still got the best of me. Friday (9.18.20), five days before I was supposed to start, I took a dollar […]
