Meet AJ! | Our Birth Story | Video

Hello friends. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. It just started snowing here making today a little more magical! Speaking of magical, I am back today sharing a new video introducing you to the newest member of our family and sharing his birth story. It was not traumatic or scary. It was simply one of the best moments of my life. It feels like yesterday when we locked eyes and met for the first time. After nine months of carrying him, I was just so overwhelmed when seeing him for the first time. He was simply perfect. Hope you enjoy! 

He is now 11 days new. Since we have been home he has done really well. He is surrounded in love by everyone in our family and within our circle of friends. I truly could not be happier. He is also already calling all the shots right now. He pretty much determines everything from when we eat and sleep...where we go...all of it is in his hands right now. We are just adapting our schedule to suit his. As we move on though this journey with him and the rest of the kids, I plan on taking you with us. I truly appreciate all the love and support you have shown him and my entire family over the years. Thank you guys for everything. It's time to cuddle our little baby boy and watch the snow come down. ♥ I'll see ya soon. xx

Guess What!? We're Expecting! ♥

Hello friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day! I am back sharing some very exciting news. Ryan and I are expecting...again! I was going to wait to share this wonderful news but after going to the Dr, I changed my mind! I have so much I want to share with you about this pregnancy. I have been recording little clips along the way and I put them all together going over the 1st 9 weeks of my pregnancy. Hope you enjoy!

I fell so deeply in love when I saw our baby not only at the hospital but also at my OB office. When I heard the strong heartbeat with my own ears, tears just started running down my face. It's one of the most beautiful sounds you could ever hear. Ryan feel in love that day too. Fell in love with the baby, the idea of a new family member coming to join us. Fell in love with being a new dad. We are both over the moon excited. Both of us are understandably nervous but there is nothing to compare to the joyful feelings we both have. There have been some hard situations in our family the past couple of weeks but all has calmed down and I thought I am so excited to be sharing this wonderful news with you all. All of you have been so loving and supportive. I know right now that I am going to need your advice and comments along the way. So many of you have been with me since the beginning and I am excited that we are going to enter a new chapter together. I will be doing more baby related videos and such in the near future. There is so much I want to share. Please get subscribed.  I love you guys. xx
