Jase {8 Months}

 
This post is a little late, but I came down with the stomach flu, better late than never! I seriously cannot believe this little man is eight months old {February 17}. I know I probably say that every month, but it is so true, time flies. You truly have to soak up every moment.
 
Little man is ever so curious. I love the way he tilts his head when something interests him. He gets this look in his eyes of wonder and discovery. He is so eager to explore and see the way things work, he is always so surprised. Little man loves getting out and about, looking around taking in all the sights. This morning, I opened the blinds in the house and he laughed and smiled with joy as sunlight came in the room. It was precious.
 
Jase is starting to want his daddy at times. When Chad comes home from work, if he doesn’t come straight over to Jase and say hello he starts to cry. He is even leaning towards him for attention. It’s adorable. He is still a mama’s boy though, which I have to admit, I am loving right now.
 
Jase cut his first two teeth! He didn’t nap well when they were coming in and he was pretty clingy, but besides that he took it like a champ! He is such a good baby.
 
He is loud. Always. He does this happy little baby scream, shout, type thing. His joy is so contagious. I am loving being this little man’s mama. As always, a few of my favorites from this month below:

Chad was going to snap a picture of us and he planted a kiss on me. My heart melted.

This is love.

He is cute, seriously.

First Valentine’s Day!

You know you want to laugh.

What happens when daddy feeds him.

“What’s that?”

<3

This family of mine.

Jase is excited mommy’s best friend is having a boy!

The expression was darling.

He likes to sleep with his hat covering his eyes, doesn’t everyone?

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
