Our five year anniversary

Today is our five year anniversary and I feel like the years have flown by. I had to actually do the math to remember how many years it has been since we first met  (11 years) it's so crazy how fast time goes by ...  so i thought id reflect on the " magical day" that was our wedding..

months & months lead up to the special day and all your planning finally comes to life. i made the wonderful decision to get married right smack in the middle of summer... outside.... it was soooooooooooo hot! i thought i was going to melt away before we walked down the aisle!  thankfully we had the reception inside and the air conditioner vents were my best friend.  

even though  there are things i wish i could go back and do differently about this day 

( pre pintrest days)

it was one of the best days of my life.

in the last 11 years we have been through so much together good and bad even the down right insane but the last 5 have been truly amazing and now that i feel like we are just now starting our lives together creating this beautiful family with kinsley i can't wait to see what forever looks like! 

i love you so much and am so thankful for all you do of us everyday and am truly blessed that God picked you to be mine.

and this just because its too cute to leave out...

happy anniversary boo! 

i love you 

xo,

Once upon a time.. A little story about me

 

There was a girl and a boy who fell in love and got married they decided they wanted to have a baby and after two miscarriages and 4 years of trying to get pregnant God finally blessed them with a beautiful baby girl  Kinsley Elizabeth. It was a very hard road to get pregnant and I was finally at the point in my life where if it didn't happen, I knew it would be okay and my life would be fine and filled with love and adventures. when out of the blue I took a test and bam! the best little surprise.  We found out we were having a girl and couldn't be more happy I had a feeling it was a girl from the very start and my husband just melted he had wanted and prayed for a boy but she has him wrapped around her finger



It was a long and sometimes difficult pregnancy with gestational diabetes    but this baby was more important than all the Ice cream cake in the world so I ate healthy low carbs for 9 whole  months and finally our little diva came and boy did she make an entrance! I had to have an emergency c- section  because her heart rate wasn't tolerating contractions and would go up every time I would have one. I was so scared but I knew God would get us through it.   She was born October 16th at 8:42 am and I couldn't wait for them to place her in my arms and say "here's your beautiful baby girl"  but that didn't happen like I planned in fact nothing with this pregnancy had gone like I "planned"  because I had gestational diabetes and because I had a c section her body was still acting as if she were inside still and her blood sugars were dangerously low because her body was making up for mine having to be low.. she also was having a hard time breathing on her own and had a slight heart mummer  that whole first day I didn't even get to see her just the back of her head as they wheeled me through the room  it was so scary and  I wasn't sure what was going on but I knew something was up the longer it took for them to bring her to me but I was so out of it because of the pain meds. Thank god for my amazing husband he hardly left her side.

 She spend one whole month in the NICU and it was very hard and difficult Once her breathing and blood sugars were fine we had to wait for her to eat the right amount of food to gain weight and stay hydrated  and because she had a feeding tube it was way more difficult then you would think. you think it should just come so natural to  new baby and for you to be able to feed them and when it doesn't happen they way it should you think what's wrong with me why cant I just feed my kid ,not to mention all the rules and procedures the doctors and nurses have to follow..but like all things in life God got us through it and she is a happy and healthy 3 month old .

 

And so here's one momma's love of life
 with all things beauty ,fashion & of course all things baby .
