Jase 10 Months

Little man is on the move. We just hit the ten month mark a couple days ago and it is just really hitting me that his first birthday is right around the corner. I blinked in a whole year of life has gone by. I am so incredibly blessed by this little man. He is such a ball of energy and so much fun to be around. He has quite the personality, such an entertainer who has Chad and I laughing constantly. He has also learned to throw mini tantrums here and there, makes me a little nervous about the toddler years. Tell that boy no and he is not very happy. He lays his head on the floor and cries, at least it’s somewhat cute now. When he hits toddler years I am sure it will be obnoxious and I will start to get all those dirty looks.

Whenever Jase wants to cuddle he grabs my face with both hands and puts his head against mine, it is probably the most heart warming thing he could do. It is moments like that that take my breath away. I love this little man more than words can say.

Jase is an army crawling machine. Just the past few days he has finally gotten the hang of using his knees to crawl, but he still chooses to army crawl since he can go much faster that way. I am chasing him around like crazy, he is into everything. So many toys yet he wants all the things he shouldn’t be messing with, of course, right? Jase loves music and LOVES to dance. It is absolutely adorable watching him shake his head, bounce up and down, swing his arms, and clap his hands. He is accustomed to clap at the end of every song which I think he learned in worship at church, it’s adorable. It has been such an adventure watching him learn something new every day. He seems to point at everything right now, he has really gotten that little point down it’s so funny.

I am so looking forward to the nicer weather, getting out and taking Jase on walks. I can’t wait to take him to the zoo this year and show him all the animals. I am also having a blast planning his first birthday party and cannot wait! As usual, here are some of my favorites from this month:

He is wearing 9 month clothes here and they are huge – he is such a peanut!

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.
