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 […]

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

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

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. […]

Week 23 of Pregnancy 4

Our little girl is anonymous no more…we finally let the social media world know that we were expecting baby girl, Briar Nicole, in February 2017.

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 […]
