Baby CoCo is 3 Months Old

My sweet girl is 3 months old today. Oh my precious Chloe, why is she growing so fast? I feel like it was just yesterday that we came home from the hospital. Mimi drove us home since daddy was working and GiGi stayed with us a few weeks to help with the late night feeding and sleep routine. We were so blessed with all the help and support we received. Even now Mimi and GiGi still do so much to help out and you are one lucky girl, Chloe.

This month has been filled with holiday fun. We went and took photos with santa...twice. Once by herself and the other with her cousins. We also celebrated her first Thanksgiving. Since Christmas is just a few weeks away we put up our Christmas trees and there's even a small one in Coco's room. I've so enjoyed creating the memories. We also discovered that Chloe love to hear mommy read, She loves books! She's started to blow spit bubbles and is constantly sucking on her hands. (Which mommy isn't a fan of) some days she sleep 6 hours straight and other she sleeps 3-4 hours at a time but, honestly I love the time we get to share together as I nurse her and and Kiss your forehead.

I came back to work on the 7th. Probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. Although chloe will be taken care of by my mom and MIL, I still miss her every day. I enjoyed our little mommy daughter routine we had, we would sing, dance, play, tidy up the house, run errands etc. Being with her made me feel complete, even though some days we had long nights, cluster feedings and crankiness but all that was worth the joyous times of watching her smile, hearing her sing along to my made up songs, watching her discover new things and just staring into her eyes as I nursed her. Although I'm blessed to have this job I hate that I have to be away from her and I hate that this job requires so much of time outside of it with grading papers, writing lesson plans, attending professional development, meetings etc. I hate the idea of knowing that that is time that's taken from her. I know with time I'll find balance and peace with this but for now it just hurts. I just hope that my sweet girl knows that I love her and truly enjoyed being at home with her when I could. I'm looking forward to winter break, and spring break to have more time with her. Here's to hoping that the rest of the school semester goes well and that Chloe transitions well without me.

Love you so much my sweet girl, happy 3 months. May god continue to keep you healthy and happy.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! Today ended up being an impromptu family day and it was so much fun. Since 4th of July ended up being on a Wednesday we didn’t have anything planned since J had to work yesterday and will work tomorrow as well. So we were just going to hang out at my moms house, but then over a stream of text this morning we ended up making plans to go to Fort Worth and spend the day there with my sister’s family. We stopped on the way @cousinsbarbecue it was our first time to eat their food and it did NOT disappoint. We ordered chicken, ribs, sausage and chopped brisket, along with fried okra, black eyed peas and slaw. The fried okra and ribs were my absolute favorite but honestly all of it was delicious. When you head to Fort Worth don’t foreget to check out Cousins Barbecue We spent some time ...

Our Dream Home

October 21, 2015 When Jeremy and I first started dating we would go to neighborhoods and look at houses being built, and just imagine what it would be like to own a house of our own together. It was always one my favorite "dates" with him. we would talk about the specific changes we would make to the house to make it unique and we would pick other houses apart. Being with him and looking at houses always felt right. :) A year ago around my birthday I remember Jeremy saying he found this community that was building Shaddock homes (which was always one of my favs) so I went and checked out the model home and fell in love. Then when Jeremy showed me the lot he wanted for us, it literally felt perfect. I didn't think we'd actually be blessed enough to start the process of building a home and ending up with what is truly our Dream House. We both have worked so hard to be able to accomplish this goal that we reached out for and I thank God for blessing us with this beaut...

8 week Results

I’ve officially been taking Ketones for 8 weeks so here’s my update! Since my last measurements done 4 weeks ago I’ve only lost 1.2lbs but my total weight loss since starting ketone has been 5.2lbs! Which is pretty amazing! However I’m not too worried about the weight loss because as you can see I’m loosing inches y’all! In these past 4 weeks I’ve lost a total of 4.6 inches which means in 8 weeks I’ve lost about 8in total. I’m seeing results physically but let’s also talk about the other benefits, I still love the energy the Ketones are giving me, I only take one pack a day in the morning and can fast until about 11am (Lunch time) , basically fasting for 16 hours. One day I plan to do a 24 hour fast while only taking ketones. I’ll let y’all know how that goes. Sleeping has been amazing, and what’s crazy is I can remember my dreams now, although some I’d rather forget. My cravings continue to decrease, maybe it’s the fact that now I know how many carbs are ...
