Happy Father's Day Dad! Today is your 18th Heaven-

Happy Father's Day Dad! Today is your 18th Heaven-Side Father's day and it baffles me that next year marks 20 years of your passing.

While my memory is clouded with the passing years, the ones that are left are vivid, colorful, and loud and are held tightly to my chest.
Your love for others, your giving nature, your vivaciousness for music, hot days driving around in the challenger and chugging on Sobe and lipton green tea.

I'm thankful for the 13 years I had with you, even though it will never be enough. I wish you were here to meet my nephew, your first grandson and namesake, and your second grandson, our baby, coming soon. 💙

Your memory will live on and you will always be loved.

It is kind of boggling my mind how I have no idea what I want the space to look like and I'm also pretty much on with it. Truthfully I just want his room to be a space for memories and comfort.

That being said I'm finding my mind drawn towards beachy, sunset, tree house vibes and throwing things together as I find them.

I'm kind of shook that he will be here in about 13 weeks. 😳 Where is the time going?!?!
I've also told Eddie we need to get moving with our @karrie_locher newborn and breast feeding courses because I love feeling like I've done what I can to prepare (to honestly then be unprepared haha) for his arrival.

This past weekend felt super busy and completely c

This past weekend felt super busy and completely chill wrapped up in the same blanket. I did some much needed cleaning upstairs but quickly tuckered out and didn't get done 1/2 of what I wanted to. I've been realizing how fast my body tires now and that pregnancy just means taking lots of breaks and sometimes not fully completing a job in one swoop.

I also made these delicious banana pat chocolate chip muffins and am slightly ashamed of how many I've eaten. . . but they are just too good.

Hubby also gets home today from a short fishing trip and I'm so excited to give him a big hug!

26 weeks today! Up on the blog today I'm sharing

26 weeks today!

Up on the blog today I'm sharing all the thoughts I've been having lately regarding my parents during this season of life.

🌿 If you read my stories yesterday then you know a little more of how I lost my mom & dad during high school and how much I miss them (always) especially during this new chapter of pregnancy and becoming a parent.

If you're interested in reading more, click the link in my bio and it will take you to the blog post.

🖤 Thanks for reading and being here friends, it means so much.

After a few nights in our new linen sheets I've go

After a few nights in our new linen sheets I've got to admit that I'm smitten.
🥰
I was just telling a friend the other day how I want to be investing in quality pieces vs quantity and sometimes that means saving some $$ to splurge on an item (like these sheets).
💃
What is something that you definitely choose quality over quantity from?

I've found myself craving some flavored water late

I've found myself craving some flavored water lately and try to add whatever fruit I have laying around into a pitcher to just make it more flavorful.

Also, not so fun fact, my amniotic fluid has been a little interesting lately. It's thankfully still in the normal range but on the "low" side and it isn't from hydration cause ya girl DRINKS WATERRRRRR. But I'm just trying to take it easy and not focus too much on it while keeping a water bottle in my hands at all times.

Good Morning friends, how is life going? I'm doi

Good Morning friends, how is life going?

I'm doing ok, sometimes overwhelmed with thoughts of what is to come with being parents, but also excited to hold our little boy.

My grandmother is also having some health issues (she has for a while) and it's been stirring up some old wounds and making me think of and miss my parents terribly. I guess I can say the same with being pregnant, not having my parents here to walk through this season of life is well, sometimes crushingly sad, but most days I'm thankful for all they instilled in me.

I'm trying to carve out more time for Jesus and His words that are a soothing balm to my tender heart. So thats where this low quality phone photo came from. Just living in the moment ya know?

So there is a little Monday life check in from me. 🌿 Tell me about you and your life and how things are going.

Last night was uncomfortable and I'm sure it is no

Last night was uncomfortable and I'm sure it is not the last time sleep is out of my grasp.
Before bed I was in a little emotional state of fear and anxiety of parenthood and wondering if the mothering instinct will kick in with the baby is born. Eddie and I talked through some things and I just confessed how much I find myself dwelling in the negative even when I don't want to.

I was able to fall asleep quickly but that was all that came easy. I woke up often and to long stretches of discomfort and pain. Sharp round ligament pain coming and going, my hips aching as they do every night from the pressure of growth and gravity and feeling like a hammer is hitting my joints, lots of peeing, and more general discomfort with every slight move.
In fact, I'm writing this at 2:08AM because it's helping my mind distract itself. 🥴

I know more nights like this are to come. Nights where discomfort makes sleeping elusive. Thankfully even in this little chaos bubble I still feel the baby giving me little kicks to remind me he is there and I think that is helping.

Just a little late night update with an early morning messy bed photo of where I'm at in this season of life.
