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?

So proud of all of our PAC anglers and boat captains! They finished up their season yesterday at Santee-Cooper, with one of the PAC junior teams bringing in 1st place for the tournament and 1st place for anglers of the year! 🥇🎉 It’s been such a special experience for my two fellas to share in together, for sure! 💙

Spring break has come and gone, and I’m just getting a chance to unpack it all! 🤪 My pal Allison (@christofiadventurers) and I decided to take a group camping again; this time for 2 nights, and with 7 kiddos. 🏕️🥰 Last year we backpacked everything in, but this year we opted for a campground, but with no electrical and water hook-ups to keep it somewhat off the beaten path. We had a blast! We hiked, conquered height fears, and kayaked. We didn’t expect the temps to drop to 39° the first night, so most of us FROZE and didn’t sleep well. 😅 The second night was much warmer, though, thank goodness. And most were sleeping in hammocks! (I slept in a tent because I needed to be able to tear down camp fast early on Saturday morning and hit the road, otherwise, I would have.)


Happy Resurrection Day! ✝️

A few pictures from today! These boys had a great day at the high school division Phantom Open on Lake Murray representing the PAC Panthers! This was a state-wide tournament and there were around 150 teams total. They came home with 5th place- a 5-fish limit bag weighing 21.47lbs!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪
