Moving Update and a Big Announcement!

Hello friends,

It's been way too long since my last post but there is good reason for this absence.  Let's jump right into the fun and exciting news first, shall we?  My husband and I are expecting our first little bundle of joy at the end of May!  We are beyond thrilled and so thankful to God for blessing us with the gift of life.  A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of finding out that we are expecting a little baby boy!  Words can't even begin to explain the sense of joy we feel every time we think about our little boy.  Here is a picture of him at 23 weeks, isn't he precious?


So far my pregnancy has been relatively tame, thank God for that!  I didn't experience any morning sickness, just a bit of nausea at the beginning.  I had a few cravings at about 2.5 months (soups and fruit) but nothing else since.  Here is a quick little update on my pregnancy thus far.



  1. How far along? 25 weeks and 2 days today
  2. Maternity clothes:  Yes!  I am mostly wearing regular tops with maternity work pants and jeans.
  3. Stretch marks:  Not yet.  Let's hope it continues that way.
  4. Sleep: Not great.  I totally miss being able to sleep for 8 hours straight.  Although, I feel my body is preparing me for what's to come, haha.  My hubby bought me a body pillow this week and it has made a huge difference.
  5. Best moment this week: Buying baby his crib and dresser. :)
  6. Miss anything:  Yes, Teavana tea or any tea for that matter.
  7. Food cravings: Nothing so far. Still waiting for that crazy middle of the night craving.
  8. Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Nothing that I can think of.
  9. Gender: Boy!
  10. Symptoms: Restless leg syndrome (I think this is what I've been experiencing) and shortness of breath.
  11. Wedding rings on or off? On
  12. Happy or moody?  Happy
  13. Looking forward to: Getting the glider we ordered last night!

As for our move, we moved at the end of December and are finally settled into our new place.  We had plenty of help during the move (thank you family and friends!) and are so happy to be all done with packing and unpacking.  Moving during the holidays is no joke, but we still managed to enjoy precious time with family and friends.

I will be posting pictures of our new living room sometime this week.  We haven't purchased anything new for this house since moving in (well, only for baby's room) yet it looks a bit different due to the furniture arrangement.  I have been focusing on baby's room as of late and can't wait to have his room all put together!  Once the room is complete, I will definitely do a nursery tour.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!  Thank you so much for reading.
