Big Brother gift // Adjusting to Being an Older Sibling

Here are some things I put together for Cort for when he meets his baby sister, Also these are some items I hope will keep Cort happy and busy in the first few weeks after baby girl comes home!


1. Puzzle.
-I thought this would be a good thing for Cort to play with and try to put together with me while baby is sleeping, I really want to make sure I do a lot of 1 on 1 time with him when I can!

2. Big brother book.
-A fun book talking about some of the fun things he can do now that he's a big brother! 

3. Lift the flap Bible.
-I thought this would be a good book for me to read/look at with Cort while I nurse and sit with baby girl. 

4. Yummy snack.
-Let's face it, when you have a toddler snacks are always a good idea! ;)

5. Coloring book and markers.
-Another thing to keep Cort busy when I'm busy with baby, also these are mess free and that's a great thing when you have a toddler.  

6. Remote control dump Truck.
-I thought a fun new toy would be great for Cort to play with, he saw it in my closet and has be asking for it every day since, so I had to find a better hiding spot for it. 


I know that as much as I plan and try to help Cort get ready for baby girl before she comes, it's still going to be a huge change for ALL of us, so we'll just be taking it one day at a time. 
I'm Praying for grace, and a whole lotta patience in this new season of life we are going to be entering in before to long. Right now Corts alittle to young to understand much about the baby, or he's just not interested. But I know he'll be very curious about baby girl when she's here, hopefully she doesn't get patted to hard or poked in the eye to much ;) 


Have any helpful hints or tips?
Please let me know!

Nursery // Baby Girl

Here's some pictures of baby girls nursery, 
Nothing crazy with theme or decor, 
But just a nice cozy room for baby girl to come home to. 


Cort loves sitting in my glider and rocking back and forth, It will be fun to sit with both kids before too long :)


This book shelve I got from Goodwill, I painted it and put a wallpaper backing on it with mod podge, Its fun to see some girly toys in the house since we have so many cars and trucks around!


The Tractor picture on the wall was made to announce to our parents we were expecting baby girl, Its fun to have it in her nursery now! and the hand mirror on the dresser was my grandma's who is passed, It will be special to have baby girl use it when she gets older!

Three years // September 23rd









Three years ago today I said yes to the love of my life! 
Three years ago we got engaged, 
And 2 1/2 years ago we got Married.
They have been the best 3 years of my life, 
My marriage to John has been such a blessing, 
Our children have also been such a blessing, 
First with Cort, our strong, smart Son, 


And now with a daughter! My heart is so full to have a son and a daughter, I can't wait to have tea parties with baby girl and Cort, watch her be a princess while Cort plays in the dirt, and watching them both chase and play with each other in the yard, I can't wait to see what God does in the years to come!

Pregnancy // week 18

How far along? 18 weeks!

Total weight gain: One pound! I am now 111 lbs. hopefully I am done loosing and will start slowly gaining weight!

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good except I need to get up at least once a night to use the restroom, And baby likes to move around alot in the middle of the night!

Best moment this week: Last week I got to see baby again. He/She was moving around like crazy and growing great! But we couldn't get a peek to see baby's gender, The umbilical cord in between his/her legs and they had their legs crossed, so we will have to wait till my 20 week scan to find out! 

Miss anything? This week I was reminded that I need to take it a little more easy, 
We got Cort a "big boy bed" and bookshelf and new dresser so baby can use Cort's old one, 
Well.. John was working and I wanted to get everything set up so I put everything together and moved it into Cort room and arranged his room all by myself, boy oh boy that night I was SO tired and sore! I'm planning on taking it more easy from now on :)

Movement: Tons! I love feeling our little babe moving and kicking!

Food cravings:  Nope!

Anything making you queasy or sick: If I take my prenatal vitamins on an empty stomach I feel a little queasy. but never actually get sick.

Looking forward to: Two weeks from now we will know if our little babe is a girl or a boy ♡

Technically 19 weeks here (busy week)
