Foggy Days in Utah

By -
Today, Josh and I woke up to this outside our window. Even though it looks depressing, I actually enjoy foggy days.


I love foggy days because I feel so cozy and I definitely feel the need to drink a big mug of hot cocoa. Plus, there aren't many days like this in Utah so I'm trying to savor every moment.


For the past few days, I've been able to eat eggs again! This is a picture of my favorite breakfast; Two over-easy eggs with salt and pepper, two pieces of buttered toast and a bowl of Rice Chex. It's so nice to not have any of my unusual food aversions.

Josh and Lincoln had some snuggle time last night and it made me smile. I'm so happy that I have two wonderful men in my life. :)



I only had to get up with Lincoln two times last night! He's becoming quite a champion sleeper! Now a few pictures of Linc!




I'd have to say my absolute favorite thing about being a mom (at least thus far) is that, if I want to hold my baby, I can just do it. I know that might sound strange but I had a realization a few days ago while Lincoln was in his bouncer; That's my baby. He's half me, half Josh and all mine. I can hold him, comfort him, snuggle him whenever I feel like it, because he's mine. I can't fully express the love I have for my son.


I feel so blessed to be able to look into this little boy's eyes every day and to know that he loves me already.


Thanks for reading!

Week 36 Pregnancy Update

I tried something new with my hair. What do you think? How Far Along? 36 weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds Maternity Clothes? Yep! It's kinda sad though, Josh's shirts can hardly cover my tummy anymore! Stretch Marks? Tons! Although they're already starting to fade quite a bit. Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Going out to Costa Vida for our date night! Miss Anything? Nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Movement: Lots! He really hasn't slowed down since his peak at 28 weeks. My doc said he should slow down soon but I have a feeling he's just going to keep on kickin'. I think this might mean that I'm going to have a wild child on my hands further down the road. Food Cravings: Chili's bacon ranch quesadillas and their cookie brownie with ice cream on top. Yum yum yum! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Fish, eggs, and peppermint Gender: Boy Labor Signs: None yet! I think Lincoln i...

Lincoln 7 Week Update

I just wanted to write a quick update on how my little peanut is doing! Lincoln is getting stronger every day! He held his head up for a whole two minutes a few days ago and his stepping reflex is working like crazy whenever I try to make him bear weight on his legs. I've got a little body builder baby! He's starting to become more aware of what's going on around him. I'll walk around with him and he's always trying to look at everything, especially our bookcases. He just loves it! He's starting to hold onto toys! I put his baby keys in his hand and he held onto them for dear life! He's starting to get interested in different sounds, he's even turning toward them! As you can see, he's smiling now! He'll smile a lot when you talk to him in a baby voice and when you make cooing noises at him. He's making more cooing sounds himself! I think he's realizing that he has a voice.  Lincoln loves his daddy so mu...

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...
