Baby Daphne is here!! I had a feeling she would come earlier than her brother, and my suspicion was that she would come the weekend between 40 and 41 weeks - and she did (40 weeks + 3 days)! I had really wanted to get everything done on my pre-baby list AND have a couple … Continue reading Daphne’s Birth Story
Here is part 2 of my pregnancy update! I'm writing this at 27.5 weeks, about 3 months left to go! CRAVINGS The biggest clue that I was having a girl is the ravenous hunger I felt in the first trimester (fortunately it has quelled in the second trimester!) and odd, strong cravings. With Arthur, I … Continue reading Baby Girl Update 2!
I am currently 27 weeks pregnant with our second child, a baby girl due in December! Blogging has gone to the wayside, but I still loving reading blogs, so wanted to share an update how this pregnancy is going. I loved doing journal-style entries to document Arthur's pregnancy, so be prepared for longer, story-style answers! … Continue reading Baby Girl Update!
Arthur just turned 15 months and we already have 5 (!) roundtrip flights under our belt, so I thought I would share a few things we've learned about traveling with a baby. First off, I will say that it does seem like there's a sweet spot for traveling with an infant who doesn't need to … Continue reading Traveling with a Baby/Toddler
Arthur Thomas Jackson is here!! He was born on July 13, 2021 at 7:44am weighing 7lbs 7oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. I can't even believe it. Pregnancy is this long waiting game of now and not yet. My baby guy lived in my belly and I bonded with him and felt his kicks and … Continue reading Arthur’s Birth Story: Part I
Wow, it feels like such a long time has passed since the last update! The third trimester has been so interesting, as I expected. The first two are pretty straightforward - the first trimester was nausea and fatigue and lying low, the second was fairly normal energy and lots of dreaming about what's to come, … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 3rd Trimester
21 weeks - my favorite picture of the little-but-visible bump! 28 weeks on the beach in St. Augustine Note: I started writing this when I was 22 weeks, and then proceeded to spend all my spare time & energy working on the baby registry for the next 2-ish months (it's like a part-time job!), so … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 2nd Trimester
Oh man, the first trimester was rough! I felt so horrible almost every day until I hit 14 weeks. Now, the cramps are mostly gone and I have a lot of my energy back! Praises!! I read through some posts like these and took a few recommendations from other people to try to make it … Continue reading First Trimester Favorites
Yep, we're on to the next adventure! I don't really like doing things the easy way, so I figured why not add a pregnancy to this year that has already been filled with the challenges of a global pandemic, moving to a new state, buying a house, and starting new jobs?! We always have to … Continue reading Baby J: The First Trimester
There is an overwhelming voice in the church today that says that women are better off for staying at home with their children. This is very encouraging to women who do feel called to stay at home with their children - but, it is also incredibly hurtful and isolating to women who feel called to … Continue reading women, you are no less worthwhile to God because you work outside the home
