My oh my, 2014 was full of ups and downs, but a really big HIGH! I don’t think there has been one year of my life that has changed so much over time! It was crazy going back through photos and blog posts of 2014. 2013 was a busy year for both Ryan and I (read HERE), but I had no clue what was coming
I’m really excited to finally share Maddox’s birth story. It was an experience I will never forget and left me feeling extremely empowered. I had gone to the doctor on Tuesday morning and left pretty disappointed. I was still 2 cm dilated and only 50% effaced. I was in so much discomfort and I really wanted to have the baby.

Well, I’m even more shocked to be posting this update! This little man has been cooking 4 days longer than Beckham so far.

This was a much better week than last. Nothing new to share, except I’m feeling much more pressure in pelvic area. There were several times yesterday, I had to stop walking because it literally stopped me in my tracks. Never had these feelings with pregnancy #1, but then again, it’s completely different the way he’s positioned. I go to the doctor tomorrow, so I’ll be
This post will probably contain a little TMI, so there’s your warning. 🙂 This was NOT a good week for me! It’s safe to say I’m pretty miserable at this point. And I would not be surprised one bit if he made his debut ANY DAY now. I cannot imagine going 5 more weeks like this. Many more contractions this week. Heart burn was REALLY
