We're having a boy! I've known for a while the ge We're having a boy!

I've known for a while the gender of our sweet newest addition, but didn't have the inspiration to capture my growing belly. Blue is my favorite color so this should fit in my feed quite nicely haha!

We were honestly SO SHOCKED to find out sweet baby was a boy. I wanted a boy next, but I kept preparing my mind for the fact that it could be a girl instead. Making me truly believe he was a girl 😅 but there is definitely no doubt, he's a boy!!

I've been off of social media lately. I'm about 19w2d today (half way there basically!) And I'm just now feeling like a normal human being. It has taken a lot longer this go around! I normally stop having morning sickness at about 13-14 weeks with my others.

We have FINALLY settled on a name - but I'm not announcing that until sweet baby boy is born!

Growing a human is SO hard!! Any of you other pregnant mama's out there - you are amazing! Keep chugging along!

Hopefully I'm coming back, but no promises 😉

Full swing summer this week!! Highs are in the 10 Full swing summer this week!!

Highs are in the 100s this week 🥴 time for some water fun, I think!!

I had a great time at Young Women's Camp for my church this past week. I was extremely blessed because the highest day was only 82, the rest of the time it was in the 70s, nice and cool and not much humidity! Can't complain at all!

What have you guys been up to? Any fun summer activities?

My heart is breaking that Summer is so short for us! My son starts school end of July! It's going to FLY by!

In other news, we get to find out the babies gender on THURSDAY!!! AHHHHHH! Wanna guess what it is?!? Drop a comment below!

Happy Monday!!

It's my favorite time of the year! Trampoline time It's my favorite time of the year! Trampoline time. Little miss can get up there by herself, funny face always included 😄 the net and liner are starting to fall apart so it might be time to invest in a new one.

I was so bummed, yesterday was a beautiful spring day, 77°F and the sun was shining. I wanted to take pictures of my mom's rose bush. But guess who developed a terrible migraine?! Me! And also guess who still feels terrible and exhausted!? Me! This pregnancy is knocking me out!! But rose bush pictures coming soon once I feel better. 😩 migraine has turned into a headache today. I barely have the energy to get out of bed.
