2020

I’m sitting at home. ALONE. ALL ALONE. L I T E R A L L Y A L L A L O N E. And it’s been such a great day. I have done so much stuff today that has really filled my cup up to make me a whole human being again. As I […]

one year old

After a hectic start to Jolee’s life…where are we now? Well, I did not keep up month to month posts with Jolee. So, we are pretty much going to jump from 4 months old to now…1 year old. She’s perfect. And feisty. And funny. And I love her so much. As I was editing the […]

Throughout the whole Jolee’s Journey with the Bottle…I have remained cautiously optimistic about the whole situation. She’s taken a bottle and then not taken a bottle and then taken a bottle again. I hoped this was the end of everything. I hoped she was really going to take a bottle forever. Well, not forever, but […]

5 WEEKS LEFT I know I keep saying it, but seriously, I blink and a week is gone. Well, we started our New Year off with a bang. I have hemorrhoids so bad that it hurts to do anything and Raelynn is pretty sick. On New Year’s eve, the Kentucky Wildcats played in a bowl […]

Week 35 of Pregnancy 4

6 WEEKS LEFT I feel like I blink and the weeks go by. I thought it was supposed to be the complete opposite? Week 34 is recover from Christmas week. Clean up toys, clean up christmas decorations, put my house back together. We haven’t really had to do this in 3 years. And even when […]

Week 34 of Pregnancy 4

7 WEEKS LEFT It’s Christmas week. I can’t believe that Christmas is already here. It’s absolutely crazy to me. This whole year has flown by. It’s so very true, as we get older, the days literally fly by. I hate it. For once, I actually had the majority of my Christmas shopping finished. I just […]

Week 33 of Pregnancy 4

8 WEEKS LEFT As it gets closer to Briar getting here, the weeks just go by quicker and quicker. I know I should be happy about this. I am, but I’m not. I am pleasantly surprised with how quick this pregnancy is going, but I am not prepared at all for her to be here […]

Week 32 of Pregnancy 4

9 WEEKS LEFT I had an OB appointment this week. I was very excited to go and see what they had to say about Briar’s position. Over the prior weekend, I had felt better, and I even felt her in my ribs a little bit, but I tend to overthink and make my mind think […]

Third Trimester CrossFit

I’m not really sure where this pregnancy has gone. I’m already down to 10 weeks left in this pregnancy. I honestly can’t believe it. The days and weeks just seem to literally fly by. With that said, I had a pretty monumental emotional breakdown on Wednesday of this week. I hadn’t really talked about it […]

Week 30 of Pregnancy 4

Hello THIRD TRIMESTER!!! I have no idea where the time went. Seriously, this pregnancy has been so quick. It’s crazy. Being in the third trimester basically translates to: Busy, busy week. I had 3 doctor appointments this week. 2 were OB appointments and 1 was a dentist appointment. :/ I had to go get my […]

Week 28 of Pregnancy 4

I had an OB appointment this week. It was my glucose test and a checkup. They told me I would hear from them only if there was something bad to report…and there wasn’t anything bad to report, so I passed my glucose test. I had no doubts that I wouldn’t. At the checkup, I had […]

Week 27 of Pregnancy 4

This week was a pretty good week. We celebrated Halloween. We celebrate with all of our friends and I love it. I love hanging out with all my friends and I love seeing all of the kids together. It makes my heart so full. We all love each others children like our own. It’s the […]

Week 26 of Pregnancy 4

Well, we’ve had a sick little girl this week. And I believe teeth and allergies are the culprit. For that, I am thankful, because I know it could be a lot worse. Allergies have been pretty terrible all around this week for everyone. The Ohio Valley is known for allergies and will the onset of […]

Week 25 of Pregnancy 4

Onto the happier part of the week… …Wednesday, Raelynn’s daycare provider text me and said, “I just wanted to let you know that I’ve decided to start potty training Raelynn.” She was potty training another kid around the same age as Raelynn so she just figured it would be easier to do both of them […]

Week 24 or Pregnancy 4

It didn’t happen to me this time. It’s happened again to one of my close friends. Another miscarriage. I just can’t believe it. It absolutely breaks my heart. I just don’t get why people have to go through this. I’ve known she was pregnant from the beginning. She text me right away and told me. […]
