finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Baby has been kicking around for quite some time now. I think I felt the first flutters around 16 weeks. Now, baby has quite the legs and is kicking like crazy! In honor of the World Cup, Dominic felt our little one’s movement for the first time last week (at 24 weeks). Baby must have […]
Even though the weather is hardly warm enough to label today the official “kick off of summer” I figured I would celebrate with a pop of color and a 6 month bump picture. What are you doing on the first day of summer?
When I packed up my closet last week I strategically laid out my clothes for this week. I was trying to plan ahead, know full well I wouldn’t have a chance to get everything unpacked before work.Bad idea. Bad idea on many levels.One … I apparently do not estimate my new size well.Two … The […]

I met with Lucina yesterday for my monthly appointment. It went smooth as butter … baby is growing, I’m healthy, and we’re gearing up for the next milestone – OUR ULTRASOUND! Highlights of my appointment: I was scolded for wearing such high heels … they were just wedges, but I was encouraged to make the […]
I’m becoming quite forgetful. I have resorted to e-mailing myself reminders … Oh my!
For Mother’s Day we met up with JanMom and MarlonDad for church and lunch … afterwards we rallied at the Lacamas Creek Trail Head for a Morris Clan walk/hike. As we all know, I am not an outdoorsy girl. It was rough to don my hiking gear (AKA – the only pair of shorts I […]
