Almost time....

Well Im officially 38 weeks pregnant......and very ready for this pregnancy to be over!!!! Hahaha

I had to be induced last pregnancy with Scarlett because she was just too comfy and I went a week past due....I'm really HOPING that I don't have to be induced again. I was in labor for close to 24 hours and was very tired when it was all over. I think that my body was just not ready yet...

I've started to prepare a little bit earlier this time around.

-Bag is packed
-Everything is washed and organized
-I've started walking every other day to help the baby drop
-I've also started rocking and bouncing on my exercise ball (It opens your hips)
-I've been orally taking Evening primrose. It helps soften the cervix.
-Drinking some pregnancy tea


So hopefully some of these things might prepare me a little bit this time around...I plan on doing lots of other "activities" to help speed things up after my 38 weeks appt. tomorrow such as:

-I'm going to try eating some spicy food
-Make some eggplant parmesian
-Take some hot baths
-Walking more
-Do the "deed" Ugh!

And last but not least, as a LAST resort I plan on trying Castor Oil. I will only try it after my due date and maybe have my doctor strip my membranes too.

I'm really crossing my fingers that I wont make it that far, but you never know. My babies love to stay put!! 


As much as I complain about being uncomfortable and "ready" to be done, I've can't help but be excited and happy to meet my little miracle. I'm excited to introduce her to this crazy world & her big sisters! I'm curious to know who she is going to be and what kind of personality she will have! I hope she is just like Scarlett because she has been such a blessing and cracks us up everyday!!

Well I will continue to patiently wait for my babygirl to arrive and enjoy the simplicity of only having one child.....Next time I check in I will hopefully be posting some newborn pics!!



I had to end this post with the cutest little picture of Scarlett playing soccer!!

Maternity Shoot Baby #2

....Well being that this is my second pregnancy, I really wanted to capture my pregnant belly as I did with Scarlett. My good friend Ashley did such an amazing job last time when we went to Utah and we had such a fun time! I remember her asking me when I wanted to do my next shoot and my only response was, " Ok Ash, how are you going to top the last ones???" I absolutely LOVED my last ones!!! She then looked over and said, "oh girl, don't worry they will turn out great" I didn't want it to come out rude like she couldn't top it, but DAMN those pictures were amazing and she did indeed top them!!! Am I surprised?? Absolutely not! She is an amazing photographer and best of all she is an awesome friend! Thanks again Ashley for capturing another special moment in my life!!

  This time around we did the shoot when I was 33 weeks. My belly was a little bit bigger (well overall Im much bigger ha!) then last time with Scarlett because I was only 30 weeks then....

Hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!!!!!!

She was also able to capture some of Scarlett and I..They seriously make my heart melt!

Alright..I'm done showing off my big ol' belly!! Bring on the new baby pic's right?? Haha Well when she decide's on making her grand entrance into this crazy world I will try to update everyone with cute picture's!! Hopefully she doesn't keep mommy waiting too long:)



Another big shout out to Ashley for taking these awesome picture's....Please check out her website and blog to see some more amazing pictures!

Oh baby!!

Could it be?? Is it possible?? Yep. Those were the questions running through my head when I found out...Found out what you ask??

Well as it wasn't planned nor a surprise...I'm EXPECTING BABY #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well actually we've have known for quite awhile now...I'm due AUGUST 6th!!!! (laziness on my part)

I'm 36 weeks now and this pregnancy has pretty much mimicked my last one with Scarlett. We've had a few ultrasounds since finding out and so far so good with her health and growth...

We also found out what "baby #2" is going to be...Originally we were going to wait it out like we did with Scarlett, but Mommy couldn't hold out and found out!!!! We had a gender reveal party with close friends and family and Daddy was able to find out if he will be having a boy or girl soon..          *drum roll*

It's a.......

                                    GIRL!!!!

That's right, Scarlett & Taylen are going to have another sister! Soooooo let's all say it together....POOR DOM!!!!! Hahaha He's in for a real treat!

We're very excited to welcome our little miracle soon (very soon)! 

My good friend was able to capture some awesome belly pictures like she did last time with Scarlett! I will post some of my favorites soon!!

Ahhhh...I'm going to be a mother of two kids!! Wow, how time flies.....
