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 […]

I did have a really terrible day yesterday. Which prompted the really negative post. But, last night, I actually got some sleep, so I felt compelled to write about the somewhat positives of my first 12 weeks with Briar and maybe elaborate a little more on certain situations currently going on in my life. She […]

I’ve been slacking, as expected, just hoped it wouldn’t be another 6 weeks later… Well, I’m just going to dive right in. These past 6 weeks have been pretty terrible. My thoughts are pretty scattered right now, so I’m sure this post will be too. I apologize in advance. I am most definitely going through […]

3 WEEKS LEFT I’m having a very emotional time right now. It’s a combination of lack of sleep and potential back labor. I’m going through the reoccurring thoughts of Raelynn no longer being an only child. It’s hard. Every time I look at her this week I think to myself that any day now, she’s […]

Week 37 of Pregnancy 4

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

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

I am finding myself consumed in anxiety, worry, and just really fucking overwhelmed within the past week. I almost somewhat feel like my old self again. And not the good, fun loving old self. The old self that was in a really bad place. So, I will just jump right into it. In my prior […]

Week 24 or 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

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, something fairly exciting has happened… For the fourth time… I’M PREGNANT!!! Official on May 29, 2016. Confirmed with a very positive pregnancy test. If you have kept up with my blog at all, I’m sure you can envision what my emotions are. Obviously happy. Obviously scared shitless. I was keeping track of my periods, […]

pregnancy test

Starting off with Raelynn. I swear, everyday she learns something new. A new word, a new phrase, a new song. It’s truly amazing. I never knew how much I would enjoy watching her grow and learn. She talks in third person a lot. “Rae Rae’s cup.” “Rae Rae get on couch.” She somewhat uses the […]

I continue to slack at life. I’m hoping this will be my last mass update. I completed my very first CrossFit Open. I did VERY average. But I’m VERY okay with that. These workouts pushed me to my limit, pushed me to wanting to quit every single workout, pushed me to want to puke my […]

I’m pretty sure this has been my longest blog break. And I totally need to blog, vent, let it out. Ready…here goes the timeline of events in the past two months: We now have our own house and we love it!!! It’s everything we’ve ever wanted plus more. I know that we are 100% where […]
