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 […]

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

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

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

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 […]
