Here goes..

This is something I have been thinking about wanting to do for a long time, but for one reason or another, never seem to get around to it (like most things, if I'm being honest).

Last Friday we hit the halfway mark in our current life chapter: 20 weeks pregnant!
(20 weeks already? It's hard to even comprehend.) February is going to come up fast!

So what better time than now?

Here goes....


This chapter in our lives was not in the "plans" for a couple more years, but LIFE HAPPENS.
Life often has it's way and own plans, but, here we are.

We found out I was pregnant on the morning of July 4th. (We later found out I was already 7 1/2 weeks along.) Talk about a game changer.

Being unplanned, and unexpected, we ended up finding out late. I had been really tired for a week and a half or so and nothing was sounding good to eat. I wasn't necessarily sick or nauseated, I just really didn't want to eat anything. I remember J asking me a few days before "What's wrong with you?" (Little did we know..)

I forget what it was exactly, but something got me thinking about the possibility and after talking to my sister (and us both being convinced I was feeling the way I had been feeling due to stress) I bought a couple tests to be sure.

Anddddd... the next morning... DUN DUN DUN... positive.

I panicked for about three hours quietly to myself, before J asked what was going on as I laid in the middle of the living room floor.


We've come a long way from that terrifying life changing moment (lol).


I was sick for about 6 weeks.

We had our first doctors appointment and ultrasound at 11 weeks 4 days and told family later that day.

Life since then has been full of lots of adjusting and lots of naps (on my end anyway).

We have our second ultrasound and we find out the gender this week! I'm so excited, nervous and scared all at once. Just a few more days..

I'm in the middle of several projects/crafts for the nursery as well as painting and getting the room ready (I'll do a blog about that soon).

For now, I wait for the crib to be delivered today.


Everyday is a new adventure. Followin' My Arrow, seeing where it takes me...
