Preggers

I've been struggling with writing postings as of late. Mainly because I don't really know what direction to take my blog in. Truth be told, I am me. I write about my life and what is going on in it at the moment. And well, right now, it's me being preggers.
I kind of want to take some time and let you know some of my truths that maybe no one will tell you or maybe you won't ever feel. (especially if you are man, you will definitely never feel these things lol) 
Being preggers is hard work. No joke. We all know how our body changes, sure of course, but how about the ups, downs, pains, aches, and weird things that go on? It's kind of a roller coaster ride.
The first few weeks, I felt fine. Then "morning sickness" kicks in. This term must have been made up from a man, because it's certainly not just for the mornings!  Then there was low progesterone levels that were treated with meds, these were up messy and just added to my nausea. Do the best you can to not to get a cold while preggers, because that "common cold" turns into hell on wheels. You can literally take nothing. So if you get a cough, ha ha on you. Cough it out and suffer. After all of this I started feel good got the amazing "glow" everyone told me all about. But sadly, that only lasted for so long too ! Because come that sneaky third trimester watch out ! Aches, pains, and emotions that you never thought you'd feel, are felt.
But guess what ? Through all of these aches, pains and complaints, the mind blowing process of creating a little human makes you so overwhelmed with an amazing emotion. There have been times I have sat and said to Mr. B, "Can you believe you and I created him?, can you believe he has our blood running through his veins?" I already love him so much that I can not wait to meet him. I can only imagine seeing him for the first time and how I will fill with so much more love. In just a few more weeks our lil B will make his first appearance. Life is going to be nothing short of amazing !

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of...
