finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
It’s not that I don’t want a boy. I always have. But, I am a little anxious, well, curious is a better word. Boys are my unknown. I grew up with only sisters and no close boy friends or boy cousins. See what I mean? Girls, I get. Boys … what exactly do you do […]
I’m on the hunt for some fabric for my little man. I want to make him a snuggle blanket – especially for him from me. Problem is … 1) I’m having a hard time finding/deciding on fabric and 2) Spending alot of fabric makes me nervous because I’m a very beginning sewer. We’re going to […]

Ah! Can you believe I’m adding a baby boy to my brood! I really didn’t have a good guess if this baby was a boy or girl – my pregnancy has been practically the same. Only difference has been preggo acne (boo!!!) and I was nauseous a little bit longer than I was Jem. At […]

With our gender reveal announcement mere days away I’ve started mulling over names again. I really haven’t put much effort into names this pregnancy since we decided pretty early on that we wanted to find out our baby’s gender. Names are such a battle with Dominic that I didn’t want to waste my time on […]
