Happy 4 Months Caleb!
Happy Four Months Baby Boy! His Stats: We went to the doctor for his check up and he is 14 lbs (22%) and 26.25 ” (90+ %). Ironically, these are my favorite monthly pictures of him. He looks oh so happy in them, but this has been a really, really hard month. More on that later, though. He is cooing,…

Happy Three Months Caleb!
Happy Three Months Caleb Paul! His stats: Our guess is that you now are about 13 lbs and somewhere between 25 and 26 inches long. You are super sweet and getting less fussy and a little more predictable. I try to have you on a 3 hr schedule- Eat, Awake/Play time, Sleep. Unfortunately the sleep part usually doesn’t last too…

Happy 2 Months Caleb!
Has it been two months already?! Again, I am late posting this, but I have just accepted that will probably the case for a while. And I applaud all those moms out there still faithfully blogging with multiple kiddos! You all deserve a pat on the back and a gold star. For real! Also since I am a couple of…

Happy One Month Caleb!
One Month….a little late I can’t believe how quickly one month has passed for our sweet boy! It has been FULL. Full of many tears (Caleb’s and ours), full of smiles, full of visitors, full of yummy meals brought to us by sweet friends, full of growth, full of being humbled, full of frustration, full of sleepless nights, but also…

9.19.14: The Day Caleb Paul Made His Arrival!
(**Originally published Oct 2014, on dancingthroughtheminefields.blogspot.com) I sit here with a precious baby sleeping on my chest. I still cannot really believe he is ours- our son, a little bit of Bryan and me and generations past and perfect for us, such a gift from God. I’ve only been a Mom for 3 weeks, and they have been 3 very…

Our First Minefield: For our Sweet Baby Sam
Today marks the beginning of May, the month we would have welcomed our first child into our home. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with our second baby. And I am so, so thankful. But we haven’t forgotten you Sam- our May baby. I would have been 38 weeks pregnant with our first baby this past Monday. It would have…

C’s Nursery and Other Preparations
July was quite the stressful month! My little sister got married to the love of her life at the end of the month (her wedding was so much fun) and so there was a lot of celebrating and preparing for that. I also had some crazy ordeals with grad school that I won’t go into here, but August 11th I…

#tbt Remembering God’s Faithfulness
I recently got the timehop app on my phone. It pulls from facebook statues and pictures posted in past years on that same day each time. I have really loved seeing where I was on this very day 2 years ago, 5 years ago, etc. I have also found it very helpful in cultivating a heart of gratitude. There is…

A+B = C
Deciding a child’s name feels like a momentous decision! I mean there are all these pieces of advice out there: pick a unique name, a family name, a common name, a name with meaning. I am often extremely indecisive (to which Bryan and anyone in my family will nod their head yes) and so I decided to give myself some…

Why Dancing through the Minefields?
When Bryan and I first started dating, he used to send me a song or two daily to listen to and one of the first he sent me was the song “Dancing in the Minefields” by Andrew Peterson. It is such a beautiful song about the ups and downs of marriage and relying on the Lord through it all. We…
