Elle and Mama

baby blair,learning,mama style

I shared this a week or two ago on instagram, but I wanted to expound upon it here as well. Motherhood feels like the gentle rise of a tide. It isn’t something I really noticed until it was high and had overtaken everything in it’s beautiful current. What was once small is now vast and […]

Expectations & Motherhood

baby blair,heart,learning,mama style

Before Jonathan and I got married, we went through marriage counseling. One of our biggest take-always was to let go of our expectations for marriage and what we think our spouse should do and be. (Now that we’re parents, I think kid counseling should be highly encouraged before having babies! Ha!) I’m learning that I need to […]

I love and adore you!

Beautiful Jennifer! You’re definitely doing fantastic I know! I appreciate the insight and transparency, as I look forward to that stage in life as well. I know I’ll have a lot of expectations for myself and so forth; I’ll probably need to read this again in a couple years 🙂 You’re a blessing!

I love your honest and the wisdom in what you’re learning. Motherhood is hard and the best. Our little boy is six months and it has flown, we are still working on sleeping longer too, they are all their own little person. You’re doing a great job! I read a great book about motherhood by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson which I found really refreshing.

One encouraging thought that I held on to in my early days of motherhood is that time is on my side. She WILL learn to sleep through the night….eventually!! You WILL figure out a schedule, niche and groove as the days go on. This phase is only temporary….the good parts and the bad. Although I know we all struggle with body image issues this should be the LEAST of your worries because you look vibrant and beautiful!! Grace and gratefulness in the newborn stage wasn’t something I feel I mastered until my third baby. And even then, mastered isn’t the correct word. But you can rest assured that you’ll get there!! Time IS on your side! Then it’ll be on to another phase and time of growth. So goes life. Be encouraged that God gives us the grace we need for the moment. Hugs!! 🙂

  Photo taken at 36 weeks Tomorrow marks 37 weeks, which is officially full term! Time is flying by and I can’t believe there will be a little one in our lives very soon! A lot of people told us that the 3rd trimester can feel very slow, but it has gone by so incredibly […]

Thank you for posting this. I’m one week behind you and am so excited and nervous to be a mama to a little girl! There’s so much responsibility, so many ways I will influence her life, and yet with Christ there is also so much grace.
You are in my prayers as you prepare for sweet baby E to come! <3

Pregnancy Uniform

This past week is seems as if my belly has doubled in size every time I get out of bed in the morning. I know, I’m exaggerating a bit! Even still there isn’t much these days that is cool enough for Summer AND will fit over my ever-growing bump. Lately these items have become my […]

Plantation Maternity Session

I’m not going to lie. Sometimes I walk into our little girl’s nursery just to look at her tiny things. I see the partially done crib, put my hand on my ever-growing stomach and think, “You’re worth it all little one.” I’ll often go into her room when she starts kicking especially hard, so I’m […]
