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 […]

infant speech therapy

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 […]

So, the pregnancy pains really, and truly begin this week. I remember having so-called “growing pains” with Raelynn. Where I would feel like my stomach was just stretching and I was kind of crampy. But then it would go away. Not this week. It’s been pretty terrible. I am having severe round ligament pain and […]

Week 22 of Pregnancy 4

This week was pretty boring. I am not mad about that at all. Then, the weekend completely threw me for a loop. I literally hated my life this past weekend. We had a wedding to attend in Cincinnati. And we were staying overnight. And there were no kids allowed. And my dogs weren’t coming with me. […]

Week 21 Pregnancy

Welp, I can’t believe it, but I made it to the halfway point! This week came and went so quick that I barely had time to realize that I was halfway through my pregnancy. It’s all downhill from here, right?? 🙂 This week was interesting. My boss from France was here this week. Her native […]

Week 20 of Pregnancy 4

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and I have come to the conclusion that I want to have this baby naturally. I’m sure at some point I have mentioned that I had Raelynn naturally, but it wasn’t planned at all. This time, I would like to be prepared. A close friend of […]

Week 19 of Pregnancy 4

Part 2 of Week 18 will be much happier than Part 1. I wrote a lot about Scott and I in part 1 and I almost feel it overshadowed how happy I am to have another healthy baby girl. I was relieved of so much anxiety after our anatomy scan. I feel like at this […]

Week 18 of Pregnancy 4

The overwhelming anxiousness hit me like a brick wall this week. My anatomy scan is next week and I’m extremely nervous. This is just kind of the defining moment that will let us know if everything is okay. I’m not naive to this process. I realize, there are things they can miss and even if […]

Week 17 of Pregnancy 4

I was SO looking forward to Week 16. I AM ON VACATION 🙂 I purposely planned this after Raelynn’s party because I knew I would have 800 toys and pieces of clothing to sort though. It was also her actual birthday and Scott’s birthday. Monday, as expected, I cleaned all day. Tried to get the […]

Week 16 of Pregnancy 4

This was a busy week. But a very good week. I had my cousin’s baby shower at my house this weekend. A lot of extended family attended that had not seen my house yet so it was nice to show everyone the house. I did some small, crafty decorations for the party. My aunt and […]

Pregnancy Week 15

OFFICIALLY IN THE SECOND TRIMESTER!!! This week, I am feeling a lot better. With that said, I tried to eat chicken and I found myself still not really able to stomach it unless it is smothered in something. Such as BBQ sauce. My eating has been everywhere and it’s really starting to take a toll […]

Pregnancy Week 14

Well, I very quickly found myself back at the OB’s office this week, even though I was just there last week. I was sitting around the house on Sunday and I noticed that I was having some discomfort…down there… It wasn’t horrible, by any means, I just knew that it didn’t feel right. It was […]

Pregnancy Week 13

This is the week we have been waiting for! I’ve been particularly excited for this week because I will be towards the end of the first trimester, I get another ultrasound, and I will find out more about my cyst. We still have a baby! I was so excited. As soon as the ultrasound tech […]

Pregnancy Week 12

Some exciting changes for Week 11. Today, Scott starts a new job. It was expected, but unexpected at the same time. He is going to work at Bachman Chevrolet, which is where he worked at prior to Montgomery Chevrolet. He worked at Bachman for about 8 years I believe. He left there because of some […]
