I couldn’t help but buying some of these cute items for Thalia. I’m pretty sure I’ll be doing more of these Amazon hauls in the future. Thalia’s been wearing most of these outfits or is about to start. I love how light weight they are and most of all super affordable. Plus they are really easy to put on and take off. Something to keep in mind are sizes. Below I wrote some of the sizes to help you out. I had to buy 2 different sizes to get a feel for it : size 70 = 0-3m: size 80 = 3-6m ; size 90 = 6-9m

Well, if you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve probably noticed I have been a little MIA. Reason is because we’ve been going through some changes. We are happy and ecstatic to announce that we are expecting baby #3! The truth is, I haven’t been feeling all too well and this pregnancy has pretty much left me with no energy to do much of anything. As you all know, I am a mama of 2 active little boys, so any energy I do have, is dedicated to them and my mommy duties. This time around has really made me appreciate my first pregnancy. I miss the days of when I could take naps in the afternoon. *Sigh*

Nevertheless, we are so happy and it’s been an answered prayer of ours. Without getting into too many details, (I have a blog post coming soon), we had a miscarriage in February of this year. So this is indeed our “rainbow baby” and for that reason I am so thankful for God’s grace and protection thus far.

I knew there was going to be a few challenges going into the pregnancy but in my mind I thought “I’ve got this”, since my other pregnancies were manageable with medication for the nausea. Boy, I was so wrong! This has surely been the most challenging pregnancy and it’s been getting the best of me. Could it be that I am getting older? Who knows! But now, I am in my second trimester and I finally have a sense of relief and am feeling better.

Telling the Kids

The day we told the boys was an unforgettable one. The four of us shared such a sweet moment. Giving them the good news will always be one of my favorite memories. Their little faces were gleaming with joy. I mean, they’ve only been asking me for a baby for the last 2 years now. (See the video below). So far everyone is on team girl but we know that if it’s a boy we will be just as happy. So happy our other child “Coby” was able to make it on the video.

”I prayed for this child” 1 Samuel 1:27 / We cant wait to know the gender of this little one, so stay tuned.
