We are so excited to share the exciting news that we are carrying another little babe! We feel so blessed and honored that God has once again given us the opportunity to love and care for another child! Earlier this year we shared some sad news that we had miscarried in January. I wasn't particularly looking forward to the months of August/September, as I knew it was when we would have been expecting baby #2 but we are so grateful to be carrying another little one during this time and are experiencing so much joy and peace in our hearts.
We decided to tell Grey pretty early on, since I have been experiencing such bad morning sickness and we wanted him to know why mommy wasn't feeling well. He is beyond excited and so giddy about the idea of there being a baby in mommy's tummy. I don't think there is a day that goes by where he doesn't talk about his new baby brother/sister (it changes each day). He has also told everyone that he and my husband James are also having a baby. Silly boy. This pregnancy feels a lot like when I carried Grey in that I have had all day morning sickness but I am showing about 3x quicker than I did with him. Yikes! I found the questions below in a pregnancy journal and I thought it would be fun to take note of how I am feeling throughout this pregnancy.
How far along: 13 weeks
Energy: Non existent! Poor Grey. We have spent a lot of our days at home having pajama parties. I hope that changes with my 2nd trimester approaching and also my favorite season of all - Fall!
Mood: I don't feel as emotional as I did with Grey but I still feel pretty irritable. Yikes.
Appetite: I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with food. I am hungry 24/7 but there are a lot of foods that are more prone to make me feel sick (sugar and dairy) so I try to stay away from those as much as possible.
Cravings: I am craving carbs like crazy (pastas, french bread, fries). Yum! But I also crave those foods when I am not pregnant! Who doesn't?
With our family growing we thought it would be fun to shift our Instagram account into more of a blog. I want to share all things family - the good, the not so good, the exciting and tough moments that come along with raising a family. I am also excited to share some of our favorite recipes (we love to cook and bake). And with my growing passion for children's fashion and photography, you can definitely count on seeing some fun style posts as well! Sadly I think there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to the social media world - one of them being that there are all these put together and perfect families. We are so far from that and I really hope to be able to share my heart with you as you walk this crazy journey with us!
Hugs,
I am beyond excited for your guys! It is amazing and warms my heart HOW good our God is...how during this time you would have felt sadness and discouragement...but nope! God blessed you with another baby. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your IG but love that your taking a new family/personal approach! My son is 12 weeks and we can't wait to start dressing him like grey when he's a big boy!

Thank you Danica! What a sweet message. I can't wait to see photos of your little guy. Dressing boys can be so fun, too! Sending hugs! xx
ReplyDeleteLove your honesty in this. It is true that pictures can portray a unrealistic life sometimes. I think it's refreshing you want to be true to yourself and those following you. Your family is beautiful and I adore your photos of grey, can't wait to see that precious baby girl!
