    Week 15 Bumpdate

    How Far Along: 15 weeks, 4 days Size of Baby: A navel orange and a whopping 4 inches long! Gender: Well…I had to have another ultrasound yesterday and I asked about the gender. At first, Morgan, our ultrasound tech, couldn’t tell because Hot Pie was literally standing on it’s head but after our appointment with the doctor she took another look for us {so, so sweet!} and got a few good pictures!

Movement: Still too early for movement, I think. If I’ve felt any, I probably…

I have so much to share from the past 13 or so weeks so let’s get started because this is a long one! Cory and I were trying to get pregnant but we kept it very hush, hush. We actually planned on starting to try for a baby after we got home from Rwanda in 2014 but I fell in love with the country and just knew I had to go back this past year. And yes, I have cried many a night knowing…

    Family Pregnancy Announcements

    Happy Tuesday, y’all! First, I want to say a huge, huge thanks for all the congratulation texts and messages on Facebook that we received. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends (in real life and in blogging)! We had a snowed-in weekend so there’s not much to share on that front. But what I’ve been dying to share is how we announced our pregnancy to our families!  We kept our pregnancy a secret from everyone, including our family, for well over a month. Talk about the hardest kept secret ever! But we came up with unique ways to tell the people that mean the most to…
