Wow, I forgot I even had this blog. I started it feeling really conflicted about a friendship I have, and intended to keep it as a place to get down all my thoughts. But after that day, this thing slipped my mind. A few things have changed since I was on here last; mainly I now have two daughters. My husband, Grant, and I welcomed our firstborn Isabelle in 2013. She was the 2nd most amazing thing that has happened to me. The first being I married the one guy who gets me and is my other half. Finding out I was pregnant was a day I wont forget. I knew something was up even after 3 negative tests; two pee tests and one blood test. The missed period was a dead giveaway, but it still took my body another few weeks to decide to give that positive test. When I saw those lines, the first thing I did was send a picture to my best friend to make sure I wasnt seeing things. I then told Grant, who I woke up to tell. He just said “ok” then rolled over and fell asleep. Fast forward 2 hours when he had woken up and taken a shower. He comes out of the bedroom and goes “ok, now what was that?” lol The rest of that day was more of a blur than anything. After the shock wore off, I was terrified as hell. What did I know about becoming a mother? I had just gotten married 8 months before and was still adjusting to being a wife. Granted, Grant and I work amazingly well together so it wasnt that big of an adjustment…but still. But I loved everything about that pregnancy. I loved feeling my baby girl kick, and I was always putting my hands on my stomach. Grant called me a “rubber” because any time I didnt have anything in my hands, they were rubbing my stomach. Started when I started showing and didnt stop until a little after I had her. Now my baby is going to be 2 years old in a few days, and she’s such a little person! She’s starting to talk more and she’s got such personality! It’s so hard to be mad at her sometimes because either she reminds me of me or she’s so damn cute I have to fight not to smile.
Then we welcomed our Kensi girl, my second born in May 2014. After Izzy was born, Grant and I took on the “well if it happens it happens” approach. But we didnt think I’d get pregnant as quick as I did. It only took a few months after we were active again, and we thought it would take longer. When I got the positive test, it was the first test I took. I sent him a picture of it and he replied asking what that meant. I told him that we were going to have another baby and he sent back “yay” lol I loved that pregnancy too, but it was a little harder than Izzy. Mostly because I had Izzy to take care of, and that’s hard when you’re 8 months pregnant. But I did the same things with that pregnancy that I had done with Isabelle’s. I was rubbing my stomach nonstop and always saying when she kicked. Now she’s 8 months old and her personality is starting to come though. Where Isabelle is so outgoing and a bubble of energy, Kensi is so quiet and serious. She’ll stare at a toy to figure it out and Isabelle will grab it and immediately start to shake it.
Having the girls has been so awesome, but also really only thing I know right now. So be prepared for my posts to be mostly about motherhood, marriage, and the words of wisdom I have gained thus far.
