TC and I got to start moving in this past Sunday! We have everything in the house besides our bed, dresser, TV, and book case. Moving the book case in tomorrow and the rest of the stuff in on Friday. So we get to officially spend our first night in our new home Friday night and we can't wait! We're just waiting on our new toilet to be installed and we'll be good to go. It's so exciting but a little terrifying at the same time. Like I said in my previous post, I've never moved in my life. I moved into a dorm room and an apartment that I shared with 3 other girls so I don't really count that lol. This is actually my own place, mine and TC's own place so it's a bit overwhelming and terrifying but exciting at the s c time :)
Grayson is doing wonderful! And good news! I passed my glucose test the first go around! WHOOT! So I don't have to do the 3 hour test. Pheww! But any way, Grayson is doing wonderful! Kicking like crazy and I swear he is already a smart baby! I know a lot of people say that you don't know if your baby can really hear your voice and if they can, it probably sounds like underwater talk. But I honestly believe he can hear me and TC talk to him. Every time I say his name, he'll kick. And every time TC puts his mouth on my belly without putting pressure on it and starts talking to Grayson, he goes NUTS and kicks the crap outta TC! Grayson's favorite thing as of yesterday is to stick his foot up right under my boob and just leave it there. I actually saw his little foot print! It was so cool! I can't believe I'm 12 weeks away from having my baby boy here! And even then it could be less than that if he decides to be early and right now, I have a feeling he won't make it to his due date. TC and I were talking yesterday and we agreed that watch Grayson's little stinker self come the weekend TC has to go to drill which is April 6th and 7th. Haha Grayson WOULD do something like that!
I'm definitely hitting the hay now. TC is at work so he's gonna be coming in late. I'm exhausted and can't keep my eyes open lol so goodnight, everyone! :)

Happy Birthday, Baby Penelope!
Happy Birthday to Baby Penelope who was born yesterday morning! She is SO precious and I'm so stoked that I got to get pictures of her yesterday AND today! :) She is GORGEOUS!
As I was holding Penelope yesterday and today, I couldn't help but to just stare at her. She's so beautiful! Makes me want Grayson here even more! TC watched me as I held her and teared up a bit. On the way home, he said told me that seeing me hold her just makes him want Grayson here so bad! I absolutely LOVE him!
TC has always been so good to me (even if I do pick on him for being an ass lol). But he has been so good to me since I've gotten pregnant! It's so cute to watch him talk to Grayson and kiss my belly and just watch Grayson kick every time TC talks to him. TC always doubts that he's going to be a good daddy. He's scared and worried he won't do a good job...but I know he's going to be the best daddy to Grayson and any other kids we decide to have. He's already a good Daddy! He helps me when I'm moody, goes to the store whenever I need him to and for whatever I need from my crazy cravings to tylenol for back aches. I don't know how I lucked out on such a great man, but I'm so glad I did. I never knew I could fall so much in love with a man until he came along. He treats me like no other man ever has. He never degrades me, he never makes me do anything I'm not comfortable doing, he makes me laugh 247, he holds me when I'm sad or when I don't feel well, and he looks into my eyes and tells me how beautiful I am on a daily basis. I absolutely love waking up to him every morning holding me, looking me in the eyes, and telling me "good morning beautiful" and some times even singing our song ("Good Morning Beautiful" by Blake Shelton). Goodness I could just talk all day about the most amazing man in my life! I'm so glad God the two of us for one another. Couldn't have asked for a better man to share my life with and to be the father of my son and future children.
Ok ok enough with the mushy stuff lol. TC and I move in 9 days! I can't wait! But then it makes me realize that I have been living with my momma my whole life and I'm finally leaving the nest on my own. I don't really count living in a dorm at Columbia College or living in an apartment in Charleston when I went to The Art Institute of Charleston only because I literally came home EVERY weekend, I missed home so much! Even when I was in Charleston, I went home every weekend! Of course my special momma was the one who came and got me every weekend and brought me back when I lived in both Columbia and Charleston since I wasn't allowed to drive. But any way, I'm actually gonna miss living with my momma. I'm gonna miss the craziness and loudness to be honest. It's rarely quiet here and sometimes I hate it...but then most of the time I know that's if it IS quiet, someone is either sleeping or doing something they shouldn't! Lol! Living with a 13 year old with a disability has had it's ups and downs. Sometimes, I wanna ring his neck and then sometimes I just wanna love on him until I can't anymore! I can't believe he's 13! He's always been my best friend! He's never gone more than 3 days without seeing me and he's NEVER gone a day without hearing my voice. So this move is going to be really weird. I don't know what I'm gonna do with quietness for two and half months until Grayson gets here. And even then, it'll be semi quiet. It definitely won't be the same without all the loudness. We're a loud family, always have been and always will. TC can't stand it most of the time, but I'm used to it. I'm gonna miss the morning talks my momma and I have on Saturday mornings before anyone else is awake, when it's nice and quiet in the house before the monster wakes up. Lol! And I'm definitely going to miss hearing Dakota sing himself to sleep every night. That's the sweetest thing I could hear before bedtime. I'm gonna miss a lot! This has been my home for 22 years. It's going to be bittersweet to not have to clean up after 2 men, fall in the toilet or step in pee because a kid doesn't know how to put the seat down or aim well, step on army men and slip on comic book sleeves, deal with a kid screaming to the top of his lungs at 6 in the morning because he doesn't wanna get up for school, or deal with a kid barging into your room without knocking lol. But that's what makes this house a home and I'm gonna miss it to be honest. Ok, maybe not falling in the toilet or stepping in pee lol. My room looks so empty with everything pretty much packed and ready to go. I can't wait to start this journey with TC and start a family with him though. Grayson will be here before we know and I can't wait! There are so many changes happening right before our eyes. Some of them are a little overwhelming but so exciting! So ready for this! :)
Ok, going to bed after a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and honey and drinking some hot strawberry too thanks to Grayson's WOMB service lol no I'm serious this picture below explains it all:
Goodnight, everyone! Baby appointment in the morning for my lovely sugar test! Hip, hip hoorah!

Catching Up On Posts Part 2 :D
New Year's was pretty quiet (besides the few fireworks we did). Grayson popped me every time a firework went off. I don't thin he liked them very well lol. After we did fireworks with Dakota, TC and I made some scrabble piece coasters for our house. Did I mention we found a house?!?! :D We actually move in on February 1st and we can't wait! :)
I got the opportunity to do my friend Brandi's newborn pictures of her sweet baby that on January 3rd. Baby Hayden was born on January 2nd. He was such a good sport while we changed him and positioned him. He was so adorable! Here are some pictures of him:

Grayson's 24 week appointment went really well. His heart beat is strong and steady and he's been active for about 2 months which they said is very good and normal. He's become even more active the past month. We didn't get any ultrasounds done which was a good thing since they stop ultrasounds after the 20 week appointment unless something is wrong with the baby. So no ultrasounds equals a strong and healthy baby boy with no complications which equals a very happy and worry free Mommy and Daddy :)
TC and I move into our new house on February 1st and we're so excited! We got most everything already packed and ready to go. I can't wait to get everything set up, decorated, and organized. I especially can't wait to get Grayson's nursery put together. I just pray we get it done BEFORE Grayson gets here. Phewww!

My daddy's supposed to be in town the week we're moving so I pray to God I have enough time to balance moving AND spending time with him. Even if I don't, moving can wait. My daddy is only here once every 3 months.
Next Thursday (January 24th) is my sugar test and I'm avterrified! Lol! I so do not wanna have gestational diabetes! I've been pretty good about not eating so many sweets or junk food while I'm pregnant. I wasn't that much of a sweets person before any way. I've been craving fruits and veggies this whole pregnancy, but Christmas threw me off track the past month I've been wanting chocolate, Cheer Wine, and cheese puffs! I pray to God I pass this sugar test the first time! Fingers crossed! :D
Okie doke I think that pretty much sums up the past month in a nutshell :)
Catching Up On Posts Part 1 :D
Ok I've gotta lot to catch up on.
First off, baby Grayson is doing amazing! His 20 week checkup on December 19th was very good. He's a healthy little mover and getting bigger and bigger as the days go by.
Secondly, my wonderful doula, Kayla, got married on December 15th and I got the opportunity to photograph her gorgeous wedding! I have to honestly say that I've done a few weddings in the past and they're all special in so many different ways. They're all different, fun, and just amazing in their own way...but THIS wedding is the first wedding that truly made me cry! I don't know if it was just because of my pregnancy hormones or if it was just THAT sweet because it was definitely one of the sweetest weddings I've photographed let alone have attended. Kayla's and Andrew's vows to one another were so sweet and genuine. Ahhh! I loved it! Here are some shots from her big day.
Thirdly, my stepbrother, Brian graduated from basic training on December 19th. I was unable to go to his graduation but I was able to go to his family day, and I'm SO glad I did! Haven't seen him in awhile! So very proud of him!
Christmas was amazing! I so enjoyed family time, and TC got to experience first hand how crazy it gets! We got some things for Grayson, a new TV, TC got some clothes, a new bed spread, and so much more! I absolutely love spending time with my family during holidays! And next year, we'll have Grayson so that'll be extra special. Here are some pictures from the Christmas madness:
