Baby #2

We are so excited to announce that baby Probert #2 is on the way! My official due date is August 22, but after our first doctor's appointment speaking with the doctor about my previous C-section it could be a week before. Okay fine by me :) Since I did end up having an emergency C-section the doctor recommended having another C-section, especially based on my body's anatomy.

I won't lie, Goldie's birth went nothing like I expected, and sometimes I find myself feeling kind of guilty about it. I wanted to go into labor naturally and have the doctors put her up on my chest right after she was born... and I would just get to hold her and take in the moment. However, things went differently. After 38 hours of labor, and 24 of them being without an epidural, a C-section, my body was EXHAUSTED. Like I could barely open my eyes, and I was faint from losing so much blood. I didn't get to hold Goldie for a couple hours because I was so weak. And that was really hard for me.

The doctor made me feel a lot better saying this time around I won't have to go through labor, I can get a good night's sleep the night before, and I won't be 41 weeks pregnant! So I can be as alert after a surgery as I can.

My heart is just so full, and super excited. Motherhood is really something special. There's really nothing else I would rather do :) I am forever grateful for the opportunities I have had to become a mom!

So far I have been feeling quite nauseous... and have thrown up a handful of times... if not thrown up gagging and trying not to throw up haha! I feel bad for Goldie because I have sort have been a lazy mom because maaaan fatigue is hitting me hard!! Hopefully she doesn't remember me laying down in the bathroom while she takes a long bath ;)

Happy New Years!!

We had a great year. It was a year full of fun, learning, and growth... of Goldie, she has grown up SO much this year! I guess Scott and I grew a little as well :) We had some exciting things happen this year, but the highlights would have to be... we bought our first home, and Goldie turned 1!!We really enjoyed our time spent together as a family of three and love being Goldie's parents. She has taught us so much, and for me, I enjoy nothing more than being her mom. I have learned to LOVE rocking her to sleep each night because I know I won't be doing that forever, and I fear that day. Time goes too fast and I am learning to soak everything up as best as I can, because someday it won't be cool to give your mom multiple kisses a day.

This year I really want to MAKE and KEEP my New Years resolutions. Because let's get real... I usually don't even write them down, so I am hoping this will help me :)



Be present for Goldie and Scott. Dishes and Laundry (or Instagram) can wait! I want to take more time to just hang out with my favorite people.

Cook HEALTHY meals for my family. More greens, less treats, but still some treats :)

Do something active every day.

Family prayers each night.

Give hugs, kisses and say I LOVE YOU multiple times a day.

Study the scriptures together.

Soak up every minute!


I think 2016 will be another great year, because I really have some great people I get to spend it with!
