The Second Trimester

At 13w 4d we celebrated Halloween! Lots of candy = one happy preggo! At 14 weeks, my belly finally "popped." At 15w 2days, I was driving back to Tennessee from a visit home in Alabama and felt my very first little kicks! They were so light they almost tickled.

The First Trimester

On September 2nd my second blood test confirmed that was was indeed pregnant and would be getting referred upstairs to Women's Health. As soon as we knew for sure, we sent off reveal gifts to our parents! I packed them so hastily I forget to get pictures!

From Trying to Conceiving

In June 2014, my husband and I were freshly settled into our new home in northern Tennessee when we found ourselves in an interesting predicament- we thought I might be pregnant. Now, we wouldn't have been upset if I was. I had wanted to be a mother my entire life and my husband wanted nothing more than to make me one. But we had been married close to nine months and eight of those were spent apart while he was in training. We knew that when I willingly went off my birth control earlier in the year, that it could happen. We also knew that going off the pill was what was best for my body, so it was worth the risk.

Take Two

So I used to have a blog. Realistically it still exists (and I wish I could transport a few posts over from it), but it's time to start again. My life is in a whole new place now. So, lets begin.
My name is Whitney. I am 22 years young and currently 30 weeks pregnant with a little boy. I'm married to the love of my life, Travis, living the Army life and raising a crazy cat named Boomer. I am an alumnae of Kappa Delta Sorority. I met my husband through Greek Life in college in our home state Alabama. Our love story is pretty cute, maybe I'll share it one day.

Although I am nearing the end of my pregnancy, I fully intend to bring the blog up to date on the pregnancy as a whole! It will probably be a four part series throughout the week:
➸TTC and telling hubs ➸The First Trimester ➸The Second Trimester ➸Where we are in the Third

Of course then I get to tell you about my two baby showers and share all of the crafty decorations I made myself! (You'll learn I'm addicted to garland and bunting) I'll share the nursery as well. It's full of fun DIY projects to help keep baby's room cute on a budget.

So, Welcome! I hope you find me funny, honest and maybe a little bit interesting.
