Pregnancy Update 34 weeks!

How i'm 34 weeks and 8 months pregnant I have no clue. Time goes by so quick. Thankfully I have been blessed to have a good pregnancy so far. My weight gain has only been around 20 pounds thank you Jesus I hope it only goes up a tad more and its all in the belly! I pray the next time around this happens again. Feeling your normal fatigue as well as not being able to sleep. I know what your thinking how could I feel both but, I do tired during the day as night comes I cant sleep. I crave sweets all the time and i'm on a Slurpee kick. I definitely cant wait to have Avery here already, this whole waiting almost 10 months for a baby is a long time to wait!

Love :)

Camping while Pregnant!

Weekends are our favorite, so several weekends ago we went Tent camping! Yes you read that right tent camping while i'm 7 months pregnant. I was a little nervous to do this but, i'm so glad I did it. We camped on convict lake campgrounds a little before mammoth. We went fishing both days something I had never done before. It was was so peaceful and nice to not have our phones the whole weekend, I brought my pregnancy pillow as well as Devin has an air mattress you can blow up using the car lighter so we had that as well. Being comfortable was not an issue thank god! I was able to relax and watch Devin fish comfortably. I feel like people have this idea that once your pregnant or once you have a baby thats it you can't do anything. Though it gets hard I am definitely going to prove people wrong on how much you can do!

Lots of Love,

Baby Shower!

This past weekend I had the most amazing baby shower a girl could ask for. I couldn't be more thankful for the family and friends that showered us with so much love and gifts for our beautiful Avery Harper Allen. We finally revealed the name at the baby shower as well which was exciting, we couldn't hold it in anymore! All of our parents did such an awesome job in supporting us and putting together this whole beautiful baby shower. Here are a few pictures from this great day!

Coconut Oil Obsessed!

So I have recently reconnected with the long lost love of coconut oil. Here are the ways that I love using it!

1) Hair Mask- When I know i'm not doing anything and I have the time I take coconut oil and cover my whole head in it. From root to tip, ideally I like it sleep in it with a towel on the pillow up in a bun but, if i'm not able to then as soon as I get home from work I put it in my hair and leave it in for several hours till I shower. It leaves my hair so soft!

2)Teeth Whitening- This is called oil pulling I do it every so often when I remember. You take a spoon full of coconut oil and swish it around your more for between 5-20 minutes. Then you spit it out in the trash NOT THE SINK I put this in caps because coconut oil can go from a liquid state to a solid state which can clog your drains. F.Y.I.the consistency takes some getting used to.

3)Body Oil- I use this on my belly every so often. I have a couple differently oils I use on my belly which is in the belly time post.Its so hydrating and smells delicious.

4)Makeup Remover- So I had this suggested to me by a family member but never tried until a few days ago. I had forgot my normal makeup remover at home during my time house sitting for my parents. I definitely didn't want to sleep in my makeup so I took some coconut oil put a little on a cotton pad and it took my eye makeup off so easy and comfortably as well as my face makeup. I then washed my face with my normal face wash. My face was so soft after I never thought I would be excited to take my makeup off everyday.

5) Food/Drinks- So this is the only one that I haven't tried but I have heard things about. You can cook your food in coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. As well as using it as a substitute when baking. Coconut oil in small moderation put into a smoothie can also be beneficial to your digestive system. Plus it adds a nice tropical feeling to your smoothies.

Hope these were some helpful tricks to coconut oil. Be careful you may end up like me coconut oil obsessed.

Date Day!

Devin and I try and go on fun dates even if its a hike we consider that a date. So today was date day! What it date day you say?! It is a date that last all day !! There're my favorite and don't happen very often so I will soak it up and tell you all about it.!

First stop was of course to hit my pancake craving mykes cafe. How could I not stop here! I totally forgot about about a picture because we ate it so quick!

Second stop our favorite place Disneyland! We have season passes so we only pay for parking and we bring snacks water and lunch so were not spending a ton on food. I always sneak in a treat though this time I skipped on the treat and got some more ears. ;)

Before the game on the left, the score in the middle, I won! I had to get an after he found out I won picture.

Third Stop Anaheim Honda Center to see our favorite men the La Kings. We have never done a Disneyland and kings game all in one day. So this was a first and we have always wanted to do it. Its preseason so tickets were cheap. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to do both this Sunday. Hope you guys had a great weekend! I would love to hear about your dates comment below on what you like to do or suggest.

I couldn't tell you how obsessed I am with the photos that I get from my photographer. No i'm not just doing a post about her because shes my aunt. I seriously love her!!! She always does such an amazing job, takes her time and always has great picture ideas. I will use her for everything until I can no longer use her. She's always up for anything and willing to travel which is so awesome. Awesome enough that I can't wait to take my maternity photos with her you guys will die at where its at. Here are some photos from a couple of photoshoots we did.



Devin really never had good military pictures that he loved so it was my mission to get some done! When he was getting out of the military I took the chance and decided to get some "last time in uniform" photos. Here are a few!

 Our pregnancy announcement ones were fun to do especially because our puppy Brody and our love for the kings were able to make an appearance in them!
