Sharing real life as a young mamma just wanting to do it differently. A whole lot of grace and a little bit of lace.
While I truly love hearing positive pregnancy stories ( ai did with Hudson), as well as women who have everything go pretty smooth with multiples, I also have been on the other side now where throngs didn’t go as planned. Complications in pregnancy did occur and affect my view of pregnancy. Theirs really 2 things …
I’ve shared a lot about the different ways I’ve tried to proactively help my body have a better chance at a healthier pregnancy with this third baby. I’m very thankful to share that we have made it past the 30 week mark without any complications. That being said, I wanted to share one more thing …
Did I really just type that title? Kind of feels so weird because it’s been such a huge part of my dedication to this pregnancy. As most of you know I had to take the 1 hour glucose test as well as the 3 hr at 8-10 weeks this pregnancy as I had GDM with …

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen Hebrew 11:1 (Preface: I found this in my past journal entries, I had journaled this the day before Felicity’s induction praying that she would come on her own.)💜 -> “It’s the day before my induction. This morning as I …
This song… 🙏🏻It got me thru the heaviness of so many appointments. Thru the diagnoses, the NFT’s, the lab work, the lonely apts., the fears that I had to fight. The words resonated with me every step of the way until our sweet girl was safe here in our arms.The encouragement and peace it brought …
After a long drawn out but also very quick labor, we are so excited to welcome our sweet Felicity Ella to our little family. Born August 3rd, at 10 pm, here is her birth story, 🎀 So for just a little backstory, I was scheduled to be induced August 3, due to GDM, gestational hypertension, …

I am 35 weeks now and the impending time is starting to really drive my crazy! 😅 I’m so excited, but also a little nervous about how labor & delivery will go this time around as a high risk pregnancy. One thing I do know, is that having a hospital bag packed is a must, …
