So much so that I am realizing just how much better the iPhone X is at taking photos after looking back at these!<br />
<br />
We had such a blast at Blakely's birthday party. I went ALL out with Brady's first birthday because that's what good moms do, right? It was more exhausting then planning my own wedding. At the end of the day I was so over the kid party deal. Needless to say, we have decided that birthday parties will happen every OTHER year for the kiddos. And when they do happen they are low key. At the house. In our pajamas. With LOTS of donuts. Like forever. Seriously.<br />

My friend, Elizabeth the Party Planner Extraordinaire, made every single decoration. Not to mention this was like five minutes after she had a baby. So she gets double props. I loved this theme the second I saw it and then after all the decorations were put together it was absolutely adorable!<br />

We have always purchased cakes from Sweet Anna's Bakery but this year I wanted to give it a go myself.

I purchased her iron on from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/586397891/pancake-birthday-numbers-iron-on-or-sew?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=pancake%20birthday%20iron%20on&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&more_colors=1">this Etsy shop.</a> I applied it to a $2 Hobby Lobby shirt. The birthday tutu was a $.99 find at the Goodwill. (Your girl shops on the cheap.)<br />

How has this day come so quickly? I have no idea. My sweet Blakely Elise, you are one whole year old. <a href="https://waitingonbabya.blogspot.com/2017/03/blakelys-birth-story.html">The day I met you</a> I just knew we would be best friends for ever. Though I mourn the days of your fresh newborn smell and tiny fingers and toes I am so greatly looking forward to watching you become a young lady. Another shopping buddy to add to my crew. Another girlfriend to get my nails done with. But most importantly another sister in Christ as I pray you will grow to be a spirit filled woman. Though you are only one I sense great things coming from your joyful demeanor. We love you scooter! Happy FIRST birthday!<br />

For Blakely's birthday photos I wanted to skip the traditional tutu and monogrammed onesie. Though I think those photos are absolutely adorable, I really wanted something classic and that captured what I see everyday as I watch Blakely move through her world. Between her dark hair and fair skin RED is most definitely her color. Her outdoor outfit is from Bailey's Blossoms. The pop of the greenery against that deep red is too die for!<br />

I snuck into a few of Brady's first birthday photos a few years back and they are some of my favorites (aka our only) photos of us. I have learned that as a mom you are usually the one holding the camera versus being in front of it. So for Blake's I knew I wanted to sneak into these as well. We are doing a Pancake and Pajama themed birthday party so to tie it in we did a lifestyle baking shoot. Blake had a blast! I mean who doesn't LOVE pancakes?!</div>

Brady Walker Anderson... where do I even begin bubba? I wish I could go back and repeat the day I got to hold you for the very first time. You made me a mom, but even more you made me grow up. To say the last 3.5 years have been a growing season for us BOTH is an understatement. </div>

I look back on your first year and I remember thinking you were the easiest baby ever. And you really were. You had such a sweet temperament and never put us through those sleepless night like many talk about. But BOY OH BOY did you make up for it in year two. I refuse to call them the "terrific" twos. There was NOTHING terrific about year two. The tantrums coupled with your advanced speech made year two insane. Real talk... if Blakely hadn't been an unplanned pregnancy you would most definitely NOT have a sibling right now. Mama's nerves were way too shot. It took every ounce of patience for daddy and I to come out on the other end of year two. </div>

Year three has been such a year of development and growth for all of us. We have added a sweet sister and watching you with her has simply been the best. You are also officially potty trained and can get yourself dressed for the most part. You are able to buckle yourself in the car (with a double check from us) and you are clearing your spot at the table and cleaning up behind yourself after playing. You are able to play outside all by yourself and you do such a great job of keeping yourself entertained by building with your legos, train tracks, or Lincoln Logs. You can count to 25 with only missing a number here or there. You know all your letters and are currently working on writing the letters in your name. </div>

Eight months has sounded so old to me this month but Blakely is still so dependent on me that it gives me comfort that these long, long days are giving me just a little bit more time with her as a baby. This girl is literally obsessed with me which is so different from Brady. He would go to anyone at anytime with zero fuss. Blakely freaks if I put her down and I can just forget about leaving a room with her in it. I literally have to ninja my way out of her sight or it's game. over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This month has been a BIG month for her. She is cutting two more teeth up top and we finally have MOVEMENT. Girlfriend is doing her own version of crawling and it is just the cutest. She can also say "da-da-da-da" which is super annoying since she only wants me to hold her and I did carry and birth her, ya know? </div>

Baby Blakely you are the absolute sweetest baby ever! Those chubby thighs and baby blues literally make my heart explode. Your sweet personality has really started to blossom this month. You are going to be my cuddle bug. You absolutely love balling up and burrowing yourself into my chest when I am holding you. I can tell you are going to be sensitive, caring and all together a lover.<br />
<br />
You have started on solids with us at the table. Your favorites are small bites of eggs and applesauce. Food is definitely a fan favorite of yours and if we don't spoon it to you fast enough you let us know with your deafening squeals. You are still sleeping like a champ and absolutely love tummy time and practicing sitting for longer periods of time. You are starting to get in the crawl position but have found it is faster to just scoot backwards and roll to get around.<br />

FIVE Months baby girl! You are an absolute joy in our life and though I wish you were little forever I am having the best time of my life watching you grow. You are so laid back and absolutely LOVE watching your brother. I can tell it is going to be your life goal to keep you with him and all of his shenanigans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You are such a big girl now. You are sitting up with some help and are rolling all over the room. I can't take my eyes off of you for more than a few seconds before you are on the other side of your tummy time blanket. You are cooing and oohing when other people talk to you and your big belly laughs are our absolute favorite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You tried your first few bites of baby food this month. You initially pushed it out with your tongue. I figured you weren't quite ready and got up to put it back in the refrigerator. Girlfriend would NOT have it. You lost your mind when you saw me walk away with it. I sat back down and you finish the entire jar. Food is life. </div>

Red, white and blue and everything cute! Blakely turned four months on July 6th! I feel like she is officially out of the infant/new born stage. It has such a different experience from one kid to the next, but I am quickly learning parenting is all about being "on your toes".</div>

We spent the Fourth of the July hanging in our neighborhood. We participated in the neighborhood parade, did side walk chalk and had a good run through the water hose. (Totally 90s summer holiday!) We bought a huge blow up water slide/pool combo and the kids have LOVED it! </div>

Happy 3rd birthday to our big boy! This year has been a really big growing season for Brady. He has weathered a big move and reno, transitioned to a full sized bed (from a crib), ditched his paci, welcomed a new sibling, is 96.5% potty trained, and has full conversations with just about everyone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When I take a step back and look at this really huge picture that is his world I quickly realize his handful of tantrums each week are somewhat warranted. Brady is loud and wild and fast, but he also has a tender heart for his baby sister and ALL animals. We have loved watching him grow this year and are so amazed by how smart he has become. </div>

Still can't believe my little girl is THREE MONTHS old. Two is a definite game changer. If I thought Brady's first year went by fast then Blakely's first year is racing at lightening speed. This has definitely been my favorite month so far. She has quite the personality coming out. Some of our favorite milestones have been:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Smiling & Laughing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Be still my heart. Blakely has made us a family of four for three months now. And even though I am three months behind on posting these I am kinda glad I waited. It has been so fun going back through and seeing how much she has truly changed in just a few short weeks. There are about 500 more of these to go through, but I picked a few of my absolute favorites to share. Thank you sweet girl for choosing us as your family! </div>

I won't even say how fast this month has gone. Because woah, when did I go from pregnant to a mom of two? That kinda just happened. Blakely has been the absolute best this month. She just had her big two month check-up and even our doctor couldn't get over how much she had grown. Blake has hit some of my favorite milestones like smiling and reacting to our eye contact. She has even started "talking back" as we interact with her. </div>

She went from the 15% to the 50% in just 4 weeks! I know that might not seem like that big of a deal, but when you spent 12 months in physical therapy and monthly visits to a neurologist because your first child fell off the chart at 3 months, this is HUGE. Like literally huge! Hearing our doctor rave over how healthy she was made me tear up as I left the office. Okay... ok so maybe I am still a little postpartum hormonal, but whatevs.</div>

I can already tell Blakely is going to have quite the personality as she matures. She already has so many traits that remind me of myself. She loves interacting with others and is constantly alert and aware of what's happening around her. I can't wait to watch this little social butterfly bloom! </div>

Let's be real for a minute. Spring break, single, in your early twenties is a whole different ball game when you are on spring break, married with two kids, in your late twenties. There are still lots of belly laughs, tears, and throw up, but it's a different kinda fun. Brady is in this super great phase where he is experiencing new things all the time. It is so fun to watch him live and learn. Each year the beach becomes easier and easier for him. Last year I remember a lot of crying due to sand in the eyes or mouth... or butt! This year he and Addy plopped right down and played for a solid 3 hours. It was HEAVEN. </div>

Miss. Girlfriend did great to! She is still in her sleepy phase and was super chill the entire time. She would wake up to nurse and then go right back to sleep under the umbrella. Naps are no better taken that on the beach. Charleston isn't really home anymore now that we have been in Charlotte for almost SIX years. But I think it makes it that much more enjoyable when I go back. I see new things and recreate some of my favorite moments with my own babies.<br />

The rest of our spring break was spent at the pool of the super cute plantation b&b we stayed at, compliments of my awesome sister. There were lots of fruity drinks and Mexican food. Saturday we headed home just in time to throw the kids easter baskets together. Ugh. I see all of these super cute Pinterest baskets and all I can think of is "more junk to fill our house with." So this year we went extremely minimalistic and did bubbles and eggs. I also threw in a few easter themed books and stuffed animals we had lying around the house. </div>

This kid thought it was Christmas morning. It made me realize it wasn't so much about the "stuff" he was getting, but rather the anticipation of something new to find. That being said... HECK YES... I will be reusing Easter, Valentine's Day, and 4th of July treats from here on out. Ain't no shame on this mama's conscience.<br />

After an amazing church service we headed to a church picnic. Later we had our Easter dinner at Brian's parents. It was such a fun week and boy was I thrown to the wolves the next day when Brian returned to work after SIX weeks home. We are making due though and two weeks into the domesticated mom world we have found our footing. We can't wait to plan our next adventure with some big trips coming up this summer! </div>

Blakely Elise when did you get so big? I swear I am only going to ask her and Brady this question everyday for the rest of their lives. BUT seriously, when did her due date come and go so darn quickly!?</div>

I always mourn those last few weeks of pregnancy after they are gone. Yes, I hate the discomfort and the exhaustion and the peeing 230, 583 at night, BUT there isn't anything quite like the anticipation of meeting your sweet baby except, well, <i>actually</i> meeting her. </div>

This month has flown by and that means we only have two weeks left with Brian at home. It has been some of the best weeks getting to spend so much family time together. Having him home has allowed me to bond with Blakely so well. I can already tell this girl and I are going to way too much alike. She looks like me. Even at a month she is so alert and relaxed, but she HAS to have someone in her line of sight at all times (social butterfly just like mama.) I guess that means if I get frustrated with her as she becomes older I have no one to blame but myself.</div>

Blakely is so alert these days. She loves people watching and responds to Mama and Daddy's voice. She is also very patient with Brady even when he tries to pick her up or squish her! Our favorite milestone this month is her precious smile. She has only given us a few big ones, but we can wait to hear her laugh as she smiles more often. Mama and Daddy are also so excited that she is sleeping 6-8 hour stretches on the reg now. Way to go girlfriend! </div>

Having a baby is so much like one of those grab bags from the toy store. You are so excited to get one, but you just never know what you are going to get once it's purchased! Once you have had an "easy" baby like we did with Brady I think it's only natural to compare and even be a little fearful of what a new addition is going to bring into the mix. </div>

We are most definitely blessed with Blake! She has nursed like a pro from day one and is such a content, happy snuggler. If the last two weeks are any indication of her babyhood I think I may just be convinced to have a bazillion more babies... HA! Not really. (Mama likes her wine and sleep.) </div>

We are slowly getting to know this little girl and have discovered her many likes and dislikes the last few weeks.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Likes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MILK and LOTS of it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Snuggling on anyone's shoulder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watching the ceiling fan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves having her hands by her face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bath Time (or at least the 2 she has had)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dislikes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving positions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Diaper Changes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We won't be weighed again until 1 month, but we are pretty sure she is back up to her birth weight if not above it. She is still wearing newborn clothes and diapers, but I feel pretty confident we will be moving up in sizes in the next week or two! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Brady has done EXCELLENT with her coming home. This picture was scary and sweet all at the same time. I had put the kids in my bed to watch a show so I could brush my teeth and maybe get some make-up on my face. I came out of my bathroom a few minutes later and Brady had literally moved Blakely from her lounger to this position. OH MY GOSH! was all I could think. "Hey buddy whatcha doing?" He responded by saying "Holding baby sister because Mama left." MOM OF THE YEAR right here. It took a few minutes but he finally gave her back once he could trust me again I guess. </div>

<br />
We are loving are family time of FOUR and have even been on two day trips out of town so far. This up coming week will be Blakely's first time at the beach and we can hardly wait. There is nothing like a newborn in a bathing suit, right?!<br />

I really don't even know how to start this post. Which for someone that enjoys blogging it just seems a little foreign to me. I have tried to brainstorm different ways to write about such an incredible day but I just keep coming up at a loss. I guess that <i>IS </i>the definition of "speechless." And, well, every time I look at my precious Blakely speechless is usually how I end up.<br />
<br />
Blakely was a totally different pregnancy. Morning sickness, nose bleeds, intense muscle cramps... any random symptom you can think of I had it with this girl. At my 36 week apt I was already 2 cm dilated. This was when my doctor first mentioned "elective induction." I went ahead and told him that I wasn't interested and to not even worry about scheduling it. He respected my decision and asked if we could revisit the idea in a couple of weeks which I agreed to. I wanted this labor and delivery to be just like <a href="http://waitingonbabya.blogspot.com/2014/07/bradys-birth-story.html">Brady's birth story</a>. I loved everything about his birth and couldn't imagine doing anything differently, well, except the two weeks overdue part. Nonetheless it was my goal to do it the same exact way.<br />

By 38 weeks I had hit that "pregnancy ain't even cute anymore" phase. I was miserable and had already had one false labor scare. At this point I was 4 cm and 50% effaced which was where I was when I went into labor with Brady. However, this time around everything hurt so much more than it did with him. Joints were loose and I could feel how low she was. The on-call doctor said that there was just no way I was going to make it to my 39 week visit in a few days. Well... I did. At my 39 week apt my OB checked me and I was 5 (YES 5) cm dilated and 90% (YES 90%) effaced. My doctor even joked that they could make a TLC special out of me.<br />
<br />
That appointment was a turning point for me. He told me that the induction was totally up to me; however, his biggest fear was that my labor was going to be too quick for me to make it to the hospital since it was a 30-45 minute drive. If and when my water broke it was game over since that was basically all that was holding Blake in. This had been in the back of mind for sometime. As the famous quote from "Gone With the Wind" goes, "I ain't know nothin' about birthin' no babies!" Brian and I both did NOT want to be delivering a baby on I-77 in rush hour traffic. Also, we were a whole lot less stressed knowing that someone was at the house with Brady as we headed to the hospital.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, Brian and I decided to go for the induction. My doctor guided me in making a birth plan for the day which was great since I had ABSOLUTELY NO plan other than to show up and order an epidural STAT. We walked through a few scenarios and decided that I would start on the lowest dose of oxytocin possible. Brian and I would make decisions from there as we needed to. We kinda like to live in the moment with these things which worked really well with Brady's delivery.<br />

We arrived at the hospital around 8:00 AM. This was totally different from Brady. I was already in active labor with him and it was the middle of the night. With Blake it was so relaxing, no contractions, hanging out with the nurses and my doctor at the nurse's station. I was already getting good vibes for the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At 8:30 I was checked in and getting prepped for the oxytocin. The nurse said that it would most likely take 1-2 hours to start feeling anything since we were opting for the lowest dose. I was fine with that since I've heard crazy stories about how painful contractions with this particular medication could be. At 9:00 AM they administered the PIT and within 5 minutes of receiving it I was already feeling contractions 2 minutes apart. They weren't painful but they were most definitely there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At 10:00 my doctor came in and asked if I was ready to get the party started. SURE WAS. We upped the meds and ordered my epidural. Again they said having the epidural would slow down my progress a little bit which was fine with me since we had only been there 2 hours and I had only the Oxytocin for right at an hour. This epidural was even better than my one with Brady. I could still feel every contraction. I could move my legs easily and feel lots of pressure during delivery but no pain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By 11:00 my doctor came in and broke my water. He stated that he was going to go eat lunch and that he would come back so that we could start pushing around noon. I had dilated to an 8 and it definitely wasn't going to be much longer. He came back right at noon and check me again. I was at 9 cm just about ready to push. He apparently would have just enough time to go do a C-section and then come back to deliver Blake. (Brian and I couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculously easy and right on schedule the morning was going.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At 12:30 my doctor came in and sat in the rocking chair across from me. He asked if I was feeling any pressure to push. I had been feeling the pressure to push for about 15 minutes now and I could tell she was in the birth canal. He told me on the next contraction to go ahead and push. I was completely confused. The bed wasn't broken down. There was only one nurse in the room and my doctor is sitting in a freakin' rocking chair staring at me! He looked at me and said that I had done this before and I knew what I was doing. He said he was going to even let me pull her out myself if I wanted. WHAT?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Adrenaline hit me and I was ready to do this assisted or not. It was GO time. I pushed two good times. On the second push everything in the room changed. About 4 nurses and a NICU doctor rushed in. My doctor calmly told me to stop. Blakely's heart rate had gone from the high 160s to 55 in one push. I immediately had oxygen on and the doctor told me that he had to get her out on push three, possibly assisted with forceps. The nurse told me to push hard and not to stop until she was out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thankfully within a few seconds of that third push Blake entered the world at 12:55. We weren't able to do skin to skin right away, as she had to be assessed. Within a few minutes she was back in my arms with a healthy heartbeat and not a single mark on her head. </div>

Snuggling my little girl for the first time was the most rewarding experience. I couldn't believe in just a little over 4 hours we had brought one of God's most precious gifts into the world. We spent the next few hours soaking in her sweet face and telling her all of the amazing people and things waiting for her at home.</div>

As hopeful as I was that I would go into labor on my own I have been humbled by my experience with elective induction. I think sometimes we are so quick to hear others (OR Dr. Google's) stories and commentaries on how negative their experience may have been with a medically induced birth. We use those comments to compare what may or may not happen with our own experiences and as loving moms we freak.<br />
<br />
I hope that Blakely's story is one that encourages and excites a new mama (or a second time mama) who may be faced with the decision of induction. Yes, absolutely do your research, but never let someone scare you into making a decision you aren't comfortable with. God had a perfect plan for our little girl's entrance into the world and I couldn't be happier with the blessing we have received from that. <br />

It really is true that second babies get the short end of the stick. I have tried so hard to keep up with bump pics, <strike>weekly</strike> monthly updates, and baby book entries. Even though I am home more this time around, something about having a two year old just doesn't make it feasible. </div>

I had all intentions to do maternity photos and had even booked an outdoor nature shoot. However, between one of our cars going in the shop, Brian being sick and a mound of tax and business paperwork on my desk it just didn't happen. I did begin to harbor a little bit of mom guilt about not giving this pregnancy the same amount of attention as Brady's, but it just is what it is. </div>

Today is most likely one of my last pregnant with baby dos. My sister and mom are down for the weekend and I was telling them how sad I was I didn't do a few maternity pictures. My sister immediately said she could take a few with her iPhone. To be honest I kinda thought she was joking. But after she told me to go throw some make up on and run a curling iron through my hair I realized she was serious. It took us about 30 minutes to snap a few in Blake's room and I really couldn't believe how cute they came out! </div>

We are still waiting on our new monitor to come in and I plan on framing a few of our family pictures after she arrives, but other than that we are all set! She seems to be quite cozy in there so maybe... just maybe... showing off a few pictures of her new room will get Blakely to evict her current resting place and upgrade to this one! A mama can dream right?!<br />

As mentioned before my sister made the mobile and it is my ABSOLUTE favorite piece of the nursery. I already had the gold frame and "A" and I was able to find the other two initials in a pretty similar finish for her monogram. One of our big gifts from my parents was the Pottery Barn baby bedding. I felt that the coral made too much of a pop when you walked into the room so I actually turned the bumper facing inwards and it made a huge difference! I love the white against the Jenny Lind crib. </div>

The glider and ottoman were a STEAL off a local mom swap page for $80. They had some staining, but nothing a little blue Dawn dish soap couldn't solve. They look brand spanking new. Her dresser/changing table was also a $40 Craigslist purchase we made when we were first married. Its been sitting in our guest room unused for the last 5 years. My mom and I used chalk paint to ombre the front. The bottled color was the darkest shade and we mixed in white to lighten the base color for each drawer. The pop of paint along with brand new knobs completely transformed it. </div>

So many people have mentioned that they would never do a second shower after having the first so I just assumed having even a small get together was out of the question. Well my mom and sister just wouldn't have that. They both insisted on fully showering this little girl with love.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We agreed to keep it simple in terms of a registry. We have all the BIG gear, but having a different gender from your first (especially a girl!) opens up doors to all kinds of different colors and styles that are just too precious to resist. The invite stated that we just needed the basic: diapers, wipes, and maybe some clothes. Well to say this little girl has more clothes than any of us know what to do with is a complete understatement. Tutus, bows, and shoes... oh my! </div>

We agreed to have the shower at my house in order to keep it simple. The decorations and spread of food was everything a nine month pregnant woman could ask for. My mother in law helped with the main dishes. The pink lemonade and sherbet punch added a sweet pink touch. The candy bar was absolutely gorgeous as well! Let's just say I have had way more chocolate covered pretzels the last few days than I care to admit at this point in my pregnancy. My mom went above and beyond so many amazing details that just screamed "baby girl Anderson!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the decorations. It was exactly my taste and full of small details that I couldn't help but appreciate. My sister recently made a floral mobile for Blakely's nursery. I have talked about it so much that she decided to do a similar styled decoration with her first name initial. That "B" looked amazing against the ship-lap. If if wasn't pink and the wrong initial for our last name I might just have convinced Brian to let me keep it up. </div>

I seriously have never felt so much love in one room. Blakely and I are so fortunate to have so many AMAZING women in our lives. She has some of the best role models to look up to. One thing I know for certain is that I can teach my daughter what to look for in a solid group of girlfriends. After having so many amazing female mentors and friends in my life I can only pray she gets to have the same in hers as she grows and matures. A special thanks to my mama for making this shower one of the most memorable days for me. It was everything I could have imagined. And "thank you" to all these amazing mamas and women that came out to celebrate Miss. Blakely Elise! You made our day so incredibly special! </div>

Monthly updates seem to be as good as it's going to get over here. There is just so. much. going. on. I mean how does one's life become so busy? I've already decided that my goal and focus for 2017 is going to be simplification. (Let's see how that works out with a newborn and almost three year old next year!) </div>

And just like that we have hit the 7th month of pregnancy! I still can't believe how quickly it has gone. Even though this pregnancy has been entirely different in a much harder way I have really enjoyed this season. The cool weather, the holiday food, and all while being covered in lots of fleece layers. What more could a pregnant girl ask for! </div>

I'll be posting a pregnancy update shortly, but for now here is what we have been up to this month. We waited until the second week of December to go cut our tree down. Work and our social scheduling got the best of us and it was all "run, run rudolph" to get that holiday decor up in time for the 25th. Needless to say our lack of planning wasn't the tree farm's emergency since there was like 2 Charlie Brown trees left. We snagged the lesser of two evergreens and off we went.<br />

This week was Brady's last day of preschool and they put on the cutest Christmas program. It was our first time in the audience watching him and we were totally "those parents" floating around the auditorium trying to get the best picture of our kid. Lamby HAD to be apart of the show or the show wasn't going to go on. (Let's see if you can spot him!) Thank goodness for awesome preschool teachers that "get" Brady and Lamby. </div>

Now that Brady is talking we have had some of the cutest conversations. The first being that Brady argued with me for about 10 minutes that the gingerbread man cookie cutter was, in fact, baby Jesus. After fussing over it I finally caved and now, I to, am a believer in the baby Jesus gingerbread man. Shortly after I told Brady that Blakely LOVES the cookies he made and rubbed my belly. About 20 minutes later I gave him a snack while I cleaned the kitchen. He brought one of his apple slices up to me, pulled by shirt up and stuck the apple in my belly button. Yes... my belly button. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I feeding baby sister, Blake." O.M.G. This kid. </div>

All of you mamas that said your second pregnancy flies by weren't kidding. With Brady I knew down to the day how far along I was. This time I feel like a total deer in the headlights when someone asks me how far along I am. It's as if I said 4 months for a really long time only to wake up one day and realize I was SIX MONTHS! </div>

Brady is really starting to realize that my belly is changing. One of the sweetest moments this week was when I was laying with him before bed and he kissed my belly with no prompting and said "Hi, baby sister!" Seriously pregnancy hormones were out of control after that. </div>

I tried to squeeze into my gap jeans I have had since high school. The button went through the loop but let's just say I looked like a sausage busting out of the skin. </span></div>

Thank you Jesus for amazing moms and sisters! Can't wait to take a few photos and share soon! </span></span></div>

<b style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Movement:</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: century gothic, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> NON-stop. This is such a change from Brady. It has been weird to feel movement while teaching piano, driving, or just sitting on the couch. It is literally all over the place throughout the day! </span></span></div>

I had hardly any symptoms with him. With this baby I have nose bleeds almost every day and the Charlie Horse leg spasms have started at night. It has brought my night time routine to a whole new level to make sure I don't wake up with either of these symptoms. SO, so crazy. </span></span></div>

Some night I sleep all night long and hard. Other days I wake up to go to the bathroom various times at night. Only to have a sporadic nose bleed while trying to get back to the bed, all while screaming about a leg cramp. It's a total crap shoot on what kinda night it's going to be. </span></span></span></div>
