Jude {2 Months}

 

Not sure how we are already at two months with this little guy! I feel like the more kids you have, the faster it goes, and the more you wish it could slow down. Something about more babies and you start to appreciate when it does go slow. I wish I could stop time or at least slow it down some. I’m not sure how this little guy is already stretching across my body and no longer curled up in a little ball on my chest.

Jude is one loved little guy. Anytime he is awake and active the kids want to be all over him. He has started to smile and I thought when a baby smiled at you it turned you into mush, but watching him smile at Jase and Elyse turns me into even bigger mush. I love the way he adores them already. Jude is a pro at rolling over which makes keeping him on his tummy for tummy time quite challenging. He’s sleeping (mostly) 10Pm – 6AM which makes this mama very happy. Bath time is his favorite, but getting out of the bath is his least favorite. He pretty much screams the entire time he gets lotioned and dressed. He is smiling a lot more and it is ADORABLE. He also had his first day in the church nursery and cried the entire way through it…good thing he usually has a church nanny because apparently he is following in Elyse’s foot steps.

Jude finally grew out of Newborn diapers…literally a few days ago, but is still in Newborn clothes. He pretty much lives in sleepers because he’s the third child and who has time to get dressed around here? He loves his mama and loves to snuggle, and I am soaking up every moment of it. He also loves to smile at himself in the mirror on his playmat…probably my favorite thing ever. He finally doesn’t cluster feed in the evening anymore and is awake a lot more in the evening as well.

It’s been pretty amazing with these three and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Jude fits just like he has always been here and the kids absolutely adore him. Life is busy but oh so full of love. Jase and Elyse are the best big siblings a little guy could have.

Until next month, love you always baby Jude.

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.
