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 […]

ZERO WEEKS LEFT… Technically my weeks reset every Friday. So on Friday, January 20th, I was 38 weeks. Thursday of Week 37, I started having back labor. Didn’t really think much of it as it was not terrible. I did end up leaving work early that Thursday. I came home and laid on the couch. […]

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

4 WEEKS LEFT Another week in the books. Seriously. I cannot believe it. This weekend was the last weekend that we had absolutely nothing to do before Briar’s arrival. All day Saturday we ran errands, Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Hobby Lobby. We did not stop all day long. The main thing we bought that was […]

Week 36 of Pregnancy 4

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

Week 29 was an interesting week. I had to travel for work and it was Thanksgiving. I had to travel to Anderson, South Carolina for work. We have a pretty big customer there that holds a significant amount of our inventory and I had to go verify it. It was a pretty quick trip. I […]
