If you follow me on Instagram then you already saw my news yesterday. For the past few months I have been keeping a big secret from you guys. I am pregnant! Although you might have already guessed this when there was a lack of posts about wine and wine recs (I can tell you I sure do miss my wine and lets be real my vodka and tequila too). I can’t tell you how overjoyed we were to find out I was pregnant after our long journey and struggle for baby number two. Maybe it was cathartic that I wrote about my struggles and that helped take the stress off me but I think most likely this was just God’s grand plan. I also think each and everyone of you that prayed for us helped. Prayer makes a difference, I am firm believer in that. I never in a million years thought it would take me 14 months to get pregnant again, but patience and trusting God’s master plan paid off. Everything happens for a reason and I strongly believe that.
It has been a long first trimester, after a miscarriage your head is messed up, you worry about everything. I tried to relax but the 12 weeks crept by as I waited to be out of the first trimester. However I will say this time I did not have that weird feeling I had before when I had my miscarraige, I felt like this pregnancy would stick. I have been sick this time around, everything has made me nauseous and it has been hard to eat but in all honestly I welcomed the symptoms with open arms because I felt like it was reassuring that my baby was ok. After struggling for so long you appreacite every aspect of your pregnancy, even feeling like ass. One thing I will say, is it is true you show way early with baby number two. By 11 weeks I had a full on baby pooch. We just had our big ultrasound this week and everything looked normal. This is me estactic afterwards (yes, I totally made Matt snap my picture in a parking lot to document).
We are due in November and the timing could not be better. I orignally wanted my kids close in age but now I am so happy for the spacing we will have. Sterling gets more independent each day and I know he will be a huge help when the baby comes. Plus this sweet baby is going to have two cousins within 9 months of him or her. We are thankful beyond belief. God’s timing is perfect.
Don’t worry this won’t turn into a baby blog, but I will share some baby things I discover along the way and bump fashions of course. I am pretty anti- maternity clothes so I will be working with my closet and buying a few regular pieces that can be worn while pregnant and post baby. Get ready for some major bump styling.
Thank you all for your prayers and continued support. I have no doubt all your prayers helped. and for those of your still trying, stay strong and don’t give up. It takes alot of patience and it is hard but stay positive and trust in God. He has a plan for all of us sometimes the timing is just different from what we imagined.
I am signing off til next week to spend some time with family as we celebrate my grandfather’s life. Have a fabulous weekend dolls!

From what you said it seems like I'm about a week behind you… I sent you a rambling email after your initial post about your miscarriage and then BAM, I got pregnant too.

Natalie! Congrats on your new bundle of joy! My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 1 year and with 3 miscarriages it can get sort of sad at times. Seeing your bump makes me smile and I can only hope for that one day!!
I love reading your blog and don't think I have ever seen a cuter kid than your little boy! Congrats on baby #2. I am nowhere close to baby or husband or any of that but reading all these blogs gives me hope I can have all of that someday.
A million congratulations – so happy for you and your family!

I am way behind on the well wishes… but I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! You are such an adorable mom and I know you are so good at it. I'm glad you are getting to go through the whole process again. XOXOXO
I love these diapers. When I first started using diapers I bought a pack of honest one. The fuzzi bunz are a lot more money so I wanted to try honest. I quickly found out why honest is good. No leaks.

So thrilled for you! I've been following your blog and your post about your miscarriage resonated with me. We're still trying for a successful first pregnancy and sometimes I just want to scream/wonder what God's plan is for us. Your post gives me hope and I'm genuinely thrilled for you. God bless!

Congrats..!
M happy for you.

Just found your blog! I know exactly what you mean by "having a feeling". When I found out I was pregnant, it just didn't feel right. Something told me I would have a miscarriage and two weeks later, I did. Most horrible feeling in the world. So happy it worked this time 🙂 we are trying!
