Hi friends,

Today I am sharing this fun gender reveal we did with the kiddos. Let’s just say I was dead wrong with my mother’s intuition on this one. I thought we were having one gender, so I got everyone coordinating outfits to match the color I thought it would be. I couldn’t believe how wrong I was! Check out the full reveal below!

SHOP POST:

Ya’ll I can’t believe we will have another precious girl to add to our family.

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! Can you believe it how fast June has flown by, or maybe it’s me. But last week I officially hit 28 weeks! I can’t believe I am already in my third trimester. This pregnancy has flown by, especially when I have my hands full with a one year old and and eight year old at home with me this summer. Today I wanted to give you a quick 28 weeks pregnancy update and share this casual but classic maternity shoot with my family.

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! It will be almost been a month since we had our little babe Ella Dawn. Today I am finally sharing Ella’s birth story. It’s still crazy to look back and think all of what happened actually happened. It almost feels surreal to think I almost lost my life at one point. Ella’s birth story was nothing I expected, but it changed my life in so many ways.

Hi friends,

Hope you have a great week! Officially 35 weeks and we finally packed our hospital bag. This time we are much more prepared than we were seven years ago now that we know what to expect. I remember the one thing I disliked about our first experience was how uncomfortable we were during our hospital stay after delivering our baby. So this time around I added some a few things that would make our stay so much better.

Hi friends,

Hope you are having a great week! This Saturday I officially turn 34! It’s an extra special birthday because baby girl will be arriving shortly after. This is the first birthday I have had where I am pregnant. Last pregnancy we conceived Jayden around my 26th birthday. He was quite a birthday surprise! But exactly what we needed. So thankful for these two birthday blessings God has given me.

Hi friends!

Hope you are having a great week! Today I am rounding up my favorite bump friendly bikini sets with you for under $25. With this pregnancy I have been shopping on a budget because I know things may not fit me in the next month. But these bikinis are bump friendly since most of them have adjustable ties. However, I do suggest sizing up one size for some of these because not only has my bump grown but so has my breast.
