Family. Photography. Fitness.

This may sound incredibly insane given everything we went through to get pregnant. The long heart wrenching journey that a lot of people would have given up on we kept torturing ourselves through it. So, to say part of me is really sad probably doesn't make any sense. So, let me explain.  That positive test, these kicks in my belly and being weeks away from meeting this little guy all tell me our family is about to grow and our love is about to get even bigger, it's also telling me our time with an only child is limited.  We have been a little trio for so long, knowing it's about to change is a little hard to imagine! Savannah has been our one and only light for 6 1/2 years now! Sharing that spotlight makes me feel a little guilty her whole life is about to change forever.  I would say the majority of that is in my own head. Savannah, is thrilled! She couldn't be more excited for her baby brother and asks me every day when he's coming! Thi

Before we knew we were having a boy, I was all about fox baby stuff. I just loved foxes for the baby, boy or girl, so that was my plan all along lol. We really didn't have the desire to drop a large amount of money on decorating the perfect Pinterest nursery. We're pretty simple people (that and I would have ended up on Pinterest fails. I have no skills) and know once he's a toddler he will eventually want to change it. So we kept it simple and kept it affordable for decorating!  We also let Savannah in on the fun! She is just as excited for this baby it only seemed right she got to be part of the whole process. She took care of the wall clings and drew several pictures to hang in there! Heart of gold I tell ya! So, I give you our woodland creatures nursery! Savannahs wall of clings and hand drawn Suns!  I will tell you a good 80% of this room was hand made. Big money saver right there ;) 

That's right. For the 3rd time I am back on pregnancy restriction. This time though it's not just pelvic rest/activity restriction. It's modified bed rest. What's that? Basically it means I'm house bound. I can't walk, I can't shop, I can't be overly active. I'm allowed to get out of bed, shower, do some light house work etc but that's it. Why? Blood pressure! Yep. I have never once in my life had a problem with blood pressure. It's been perfectly fine all pregnancy until 2 weeks when it spiked up into the 150s and has stayed there. After ruling out pre-eclampsia (at least once. They tested me again and I haven't got those results back yet) they've pretty much decided on gestational hypertension. Which means modified bed rest, bi weekly NSTs, and likely getting induced around 38 weeks (which is less than 2 weeks away!!) On the brighter side- I have been cleared from the high risk doctor with any problems related to

So, I noticed the other day it has been a long time since I last updated my blog! I've been pretty active on Facebook but have completely neglected my blog 😁 There's a few reasons for the hiatus, pregnancy, bed rest same old not much to write.. Lol but, there's another reason too.  To be 100% honest with you all, I am struggling! I know I kept an open mind and positive outlook on the move to Oklahoma but I have not adjusted to the area. It's a nice area, I've met some really nice people, we've found a church we love but, my heart just isn't as happy here. I had no idea I would miss Virginia as much as I do. I created such a home there that I am struggling really hard to create a new home here. This isn't my first time at the rodeo either. I moved a lot as kid, I got used to moves and adjusted pretty quickly with those. Maybe it's because I'm an adult now and a bit more sentimental about things I'm having a harder time.  I'm s
