"This is a story that is often untold, and overlooked. A raw adventure of fighting the elements of illness, as a young wife and mother by seeking Jesus first. Start from the beginning, and see how the Lord can take a very broken and ill individual and bring about a truly unique LIFE and LOVE story." - BRYNN (& Jeremey and Tatum).

Our families are the greatest BLESSING we could ever ask for!

Last week began a time of mad exhaustion but extreme blessing as my mom and Jeremey's mom, dad, and one of his sisters came to California to stay with us. My mom came a few days early and blessed our socks off. She helped us make our new place a home, furnished our baby room, stocked our kitchen up with food, and overall was such a joy and went way out of her way to make us feel Loved and so special during such a chaotic time in our lives. Thanks mom, we Love you. Jeremey's family then arrived and did the same. They filled our stomachs with amazing food as we dinned out with great dinners, helped us with many fixer upper projects in our home, and brought us many laughs! Thank you guys, it means the world to us! Jeremey and I feel like our families came in and just made everything fall into place. We got the stroller put together (which Jeremey actually did all on his own!) We were blessed with a a new dining table, and had it set up. We got new breaks on our car, and free mechanic to put them together (Jeremey's dad), The babies crib, dresser, bedding and closets were, bought, assembled, put together and organized. A big sigh of relief for getting so much done and a great thanking of the Lord followed as our families departed. We looked back on a week full of such selflessness from all of them. We are now nearly ready for our daughter to come home!





Almost 34 week belly photos!

I may still be small to a lot of people, but I feel like she is going to pop out soon. Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think, hahaha, she has taken over all my major functions, but I Love her more every day! (I look exhausted in these and sorry for the strange iphone coloring).

Wiggly toes and scrunchy nose! Meet our funny/precious little daughter!!!




Here she is in her second 4d ultrasound. She is 33 weeks along. My mom, Jeremey and I were so blessed to see how active she was. In fact, again, the ultrasound tech said she was one of the most active babies she had seen. She was playing with the umbilical cord the whole time, chewing on it, and moving it around her face. She was also being a little acrobat and had her feet right up in her eyes. She would flex and wiggle her toes, and when the tech told me to try to move her foot out of the way of her face so we could get a clearer picture, we could see her start to scrunch her face and cry because her "entertainment" got taken away from her. She is so funny. For those that aren't experts at viewing ultrasounds, the bottom picture is of her scrunched up with her foot in her face, because she was moving so much we could only capture half of her face, so that's why it may look a little strange. The umbilical cord is across her chin in all of the pictures so that explains why it might look like its missing. We Love her so much. (Tons to blog about from this past week with all of our guests, and of the baby shower, stay posted!).
