Then and Now

When I was pregnant with Cutter, I was the typical "first time mother", complete with constant updates and pictures. Not so much anymore. Partly because of time, partly because of forgetting, and partly because of some realizations that hit me during the time between these two pregnancies.

Though I haven't posted pictures on a regular basis, or even pictures in general, I have taken them. A recent conversation led to curiosity, which led to me digging through old files to find my pictures. Though I feel a lot bigger with Little Lady, pictures show that I'm neck and neck with my time with Little Man. I think I'm carrying a little lower, and know I'm carrying wider too!

Little Lady


So, a month and a half later, I finally sit down and relieve this evening. What a blast! We were blessed to have friends and family join us as we found out for ourselves what we were having. As you can see, we were all thinking it was a boy. Cutter, because that's what he wanted, and Chris and I, just because we thought it. Not in the least were we expecting pink!

We used silly string. I really wanted something that would incorporate Cutter into the announcement, and even more, entertainment for friends as well! It was perfect timing, with the sun starting to set in the background. Long distance family members were scattered around on Facetime to join in.

Once the silly string settled and reality set it... Though we all thought boy, we are excited for this new journey!



It was even better when friends joined in!

Even the big kids had a blast!


Love this man and doing life with him!


I can't imagine life without these girls in it!

Now that the dust from the school year has settled, I can start to wrap my mind around all I have to do between now and the next... maternity plans, VBS prep, clean out 15 tubs worth of boy clothes... and oh yeah, decorate a nursery that hasn't even been thought out yet! I'll get there... one day and one waddle at a time!
