bump update :: week 4-15
Those of you who have been following my blog for a while know what’s coming… BUMP UPDATES! 😀 I have done these with both of the girls and it has been so much fun. Not only during my pregnancy to really take inventory, but I’ve found they are also super fun to look back on. […]
telling close family and friends
One of our favorite parts of pregnancy is announcing it, especially to close family and friends. What made this one extra unique is that absolutely no one was expecting it. We had been pretty open about wanting more kids, but we had been very adamant that we were waiting a little bit and giving ourselves […]
our 3rd +
2019 has been a very full year already for the Shaver Crew. Selling our house (which of course involves packing, projects and more), sudden family deaths (Aaron’s grandpa and my grandpa passed the same weekend), the normal day-to-day AND celebrating Emmaline’s 1st birthday, it’s been steady, to say the least. But what we haven’t shared […]
welcome to “how to be a big sister 101”
Rylie taught “How to be a BIG Sister 101” to help prepare Emmaline for some upcoming changes. Graduation is scheduled for September 2019. || We know you have lots of questions, like: How far along am I? When did we find out? How did we tell family? Do we know the gender? Etc. […]

pregnancy #2 overview
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 […]
bump update :: week 38
Week 38: Symptoms :: Occasional nausea, cramping, some contractions, lower back pain whenever I walk. I also feel like I’m more emotional lately, and I’m not sure if that’s pregnancy related or physical / emotional exhaustion kicking in. Probably both. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Nothing specific. I’ve actually become fairly passive […]
