The Start of a Modeling Career Maybe?

Maternity· Personal

29 Dec

I’ve never been overwhelmed by an ultrasound image before. I’ve had many shown to me by friends and I just didn’t think too much past it other than congratulations at the time. I now have a new appreciation for this technology, and will have a new excitement for anyone who shows me their ultrasounds in the future. I guess it’s just one of those things you have to experience for yourself before you truly understand the excitement that a couple goes through and is experiencing when they proudly whip out the ultrasound image from their wallet to show off their growing child.

Here is the 1st image that Jason and I saw of our baby; this was taken at 12 weeks. Baby J is 2 inches long here, and healthy from what they can diagnose from the images. At this point the baby has ears, eyes, a heart and strong heart beat, and fingers and toes that have begun to seperate. Plus much more. I hate it is a little more fuzzy than the original, but it will do. We both were just fascinated beyond what words can explain. Just wanted to share with everyone, as well as have documentation down the road to look back on. We go for the 2nd ultrasound January 5. I will be 17 weeks along at that point. I can’t wait to see the progression of this little one. Of course, it will probably be forever and a day before I make it to another scanner so we can share the progression.

Stay in the know!

    Awesome, I’m so happy for y’all! that is a really clear picture, too, I will agree.

    Our first ultrasound was at 6.5 wks and our next will be Jan 19 (20 wks) and that’s when we find out the sex! Are y’all going to find out?

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
