it’s a boy!


boy or girl
 
Much to our surprise, we’re having another baby boy!! Evangeline will remain quite the spoiled little girl. I’ll be back with the rest of this photoshoot by Rachel really soon (and you may notice something a little off with them when I post them!) But I had to pop in and share this special news.

January iPhone photos


It’s so crazy that we’re already into the second month of 2015. Judging by my iPhone pictures, January was filled with junk food. And trust me, that is pretty much reality. February is an exciting month for us–we will be finding out the baby’s gender next week! So I’m assuming the next week will go by very slowly.

Maggi gifted this beautiful prayer journal to me this past Christmas. It is really helpful to be able to see needs written out in front of you.

the boys and I always love to wake up to see boxes of donuts on the counter

Stephanie gave me this devotional. I highly recommend it–seriously encouraging.
And this mug cookie from my favorite food blog has been my go-to quick dessert lately. It is seriously good and only takes a few minutes to whip up. The first time I made it, it was kind of crumbly. But she added a note to the recipe to help prevent that. And it is so good. Check out her other recipes as well. Mel never lets me down.

This past Wednesday marked 17 weeks for me. It also was the day I had my first root canal. If anyone wants to know, it wasn’t as painful as most people describe (and I am a wimp) but I have been absolutely traumatized reliving those 45 minutes in my brain. I’m not sure what they’re actually doing during a root canal, and I don’t want to know, but I am so grossed out by even guessing.

but since I didn’t cry (like I thought I would) I thought I deserved a QT pretzel

I’m looking forward to learning more about photography this year so I can pass some helpful tips to Liam. He’s already learning to find the natural light.

So, one week left until we find out the gender…any guesses?
