What I packed in my hospital bag

Well, that was a surprise! (A C-section, that is) I planned for the good ol' fashioned delivery and came out with a beautiful 7 lb. 13 oz. baby boy and a new permanent scar on my body and absolutely no abdominal muscles. LOL! How everything can change in the blink of an eye! I suppose [...]

Mama’s done had herself a DAY🙏🏼#thisis30

You’re just pure sugar, Dallas🍭🤍
Grateful she’s mine🤍🤍
Thankful to our family and dear friends who came out to celebrate @logantdowning & I surviving the first year of parenthood. And so sweet that Dallas could join in on the fun, too🤣🐎He’s so loved!💙#oneyearold #myfirstrodeo
On this day one year ago I woke up to the most beautiful April day. My heart skipped a beat knowing it was the day of my 39 week OB appt. For some reason, this day just felt different.

The joy even continued as I walked into the office, discovering it was my doctor’s birthday! I thought, “Could you have the same birthday as her?!” Little did I know I’d be staying, in for the wildest night of my life, being admitted for signs of labor. Tonight I’ll rock you a little slower, a little longer…soaking up this one last sleep before you are one. I can’t believe it. A life without you is unimaginable. How did I do it for 28 years?

Watcha readin’?!
