Surprise! Can't even believe I'm writing these words right now, but y'all, I'm so excited to announce that we're pregnant! This baby is not the result of quarantine - it's the baby we've prayed for! It's been one long year of trying (or it felt like it), but in those seasons of waiting in the quiet, the Lord met us and has gifted us a child and we are counting it all a blessing! For the memory keeper in me, I'm going to start with weekly updates from here on out now that we're finally nearing the 2nd trimester.
How far along: 12 weeks! Woohoo!
Gender: Unsure, but genes-wise, it would make sense for it to be a boy although I'm making plans for a girl! Who knows! I'm excited for either one.
Weight gain: 3 lbs since my last visit to the doctor ... but that was late July (hrmm).
Maternity clothes: I haven't added any to my collection yet, but I'm thinking about investing in a few bottoms so I can be comfortable at work.
Stretch marks: None yet!
Best moment of the week: Getting to see my family and taking in a bunch of pregnancy tips from my sister in law.
Worst moment of the week: So much nausea after a bowl of spaghetti. I need to eat better, y'all!
Miss anything: Miss eating foods without the aversion! I never found myself to be picky, but I have been pickin' and choosin' these days.
Movement: None that are super apparent, but sometimes I feel flutters and that makes me think it's baby sometimes.
Cravings: ALL the things, guys. Fresh cold fruit, OJ, cereal, popsicles, fries!
Looking forward to: Hitting 2nd trimester and getting things for baby (like a crib)!
Friends -- I've finally mustered enough energy to get back to blogging after a few weeks away and by away, I mean laying in bed doing nothing. Lol. It's been about a month since our Colorado trip and I don't know if I've even fully recovered from it. Lol. It did take about a good week to just get "caught up" on sleep again. Road trips drain me, y'all -- but it was so worth it. It did my heart a lot of good to see old friends, to reunite, catch up and laugh our days away. I kind of missed that and forgot what it felt like to do that.
Anyway, enjoy the photo dump -- so many other memories, but I didn't have them edited, so for now, you get the edited photos! ;)
Literally, my girls cousins are so tall!
I love their characters - all silly and kind!
All of our cousins! I'm so glad to have spent some time with them - they are literally growing so fast!
Such a beautiful set of blooms!
The best MC ever.
My favorite -- I love friendship!
The most beautiful wedding photos ever! I love the muted colors of everything!
Something about saying goodbye to the ones you love that always makes it so difficult. The other day, Jeff told me, "You just don't like goodbyes!" I mean .... not sure what to tell ya, but I truly don't. It was such a great week together - loved every moment!
xoxo!
