33 Weeks!

How far along? 33 weeks. Baby is the size of a pineapple and if he were born today, would need very little medical assistance! Our little Mr. weighs a tad over FOUR POUNDS and is measuring around 17 inches long.

Current due date: February 18, 2015 (Can I also just quickly state that Valentine's Day has been my FAVORITE holiday sense I was 17?? <3 <3 <3 I secretly hope he's here in time for me to have TWO Valentine's this year.)

Total weight gain: Just under 20 lbs! The holidays sure helped out here. ;) So many treats and now it's time to push the veggies and watch the sugar!

Maternity clothes? Yep! Still mixing and matching. I have one pair of pre pregnancy jeans that still work well with the Belly Belt, one pair of maternity jeans from MAMA Maternity at H&M, aaaand cough *%&*five*&%* cough pairs of black fold over leggings from Victoria's Secret. I was gifted a couple maternity shirts from Old Navy that I LOVE!! (NICE work Emelia & Lisa!) It was so nice to get something cute and new to wear when I was feeling so close to the end I didn't want to buy anything new just to wear for a month or two. Now I know, if you've hit 30 weeks and things are getting tight, THERE IS STILL ENOUGH TIME that you definitely should go buy a few new shirts. hahaha I'm getting 1-2 wears a week out of my maternity clothes and I feel the $10-$15 per shirt will be well spent by the time baby is here!

Stretch marks? Still no! Seriously getting antsy on this topic. =/ Mr. is supposed to gain 1/2 pound per week this month! Still rubbing Belly Balm on my belly, hips, and thighs twice a day and trying to stay as hydrated as possible!

Best moments of the past three weeks: 

• Of course Christmas with Clynn's family was so much fun! I'll hopefully be doing a post on that next. :) I have to collect pictures from everyone's phones because I was not very good about taking any. =/ 
• Even though I didn't get to talk to my brother in Holland, I was very aware of my nephews second birthday that happened a couple weeks ago! I can't believe he's two and I am so excited to see them again hopefully sooner than later. :) His momma is due a day before me with baby #2, a sweet little GIRL!!, and I am just so excited for them. :D
• I do have to say, pregnancy wise, the most fun experience the past three weeks has been being able to feel the Mr's individual parts now. It's not just a kick or a roll anymore. We can see (and sometimes grab! haha) a little foot or pat his bony hiney. I can feel when he stretches out his tiny hands or nuzzles his head into my groin. Yeah, it's pretty CRAZY being able to see that there is actually a fully formed little person in there! Clynn is so amazed, he likes to tell people how insane it is. hahaha Clynn mostly feels feet, knees, and hiney. 

Miss anything? Oh boy....haha. I miss my ribs not burning when I sit up too long. My body is really happiest standing, laying, or reclined. Just sitting up is hard! I'm definitely not a big fan of feeling my belly on my thighs when I sit. hahaha...hard not to feel ginormous with your beach ball belly on your legs...I miss only waking up once in the night and then going back to bed easily. I now wake up three or four times every night and two or three of those times take some tossing and turning to get back to sleep. (Poor hubby.)

Movement: Tons as always. I can feel his bones getting harder! (Pushing those calcium supplements!)

Food cravings: WATER. If I'm thirsty it's pretty serious and I don't wait it out if we're out and about. If I have to pay $4 for a bottle of water...it's probably happening. Not so much a craving, but an aversion, I've been not so happy with meat/eggs/dairy lately. Just super unappealing which is nice to be getting back to my regular self. As always, I've been eating way too much peanut butter (YUUMM) and have actually been downing quiet a bit of honey every day! I like it with my tea in the morning, mixed into my oatmeal, on top of my toast, used as a main ingredient in my attempts at healthier baking...I would happily switch it out for Agave, I'm sure, just haven't gone to pick any up yet. :)

Have you started to show yet? Yep! I think the family is secretly loving that I can't hide him any more ;) 

Gender: Little Dude

Labor Signs: Still a lot of Braxton hicks. Nothing too painful, just varying levels of uncomfortable. 

Belly Button in or out? Half out half in...seriously the weirdest belly button ever. lol

Wedding rings on or off? On. :) And for the millionth time, didn't Clynn do an AWESOME job?! Over four years sense he put it on my finger and I still get caught oggling this beauty. (I'm feeling a little sentimental because today is mine and Clynn's FIVE YEAR dating anniversary!) What I love most is that he designed it just for me. <3 Engagement and wedding sets are my favorite to look at. If we've met, you can guarantee I've scoped yours out and could match wedding sets to people way before I could match names to people. lol (the third band was from my deployment, known as my "distance band" to represent all of the time we have (and will) spent/spend apart, but will always be together.)

Looking forward to: 

• Baby shower January 24th! I'll send out invites late next week and if I forget you and you don't get an invite PLEASE ASK or feel free to show up with someone you know is going. haha There's no one I want to intentionally leave out. :) 
• My last drill weekend before baby comes! (mid Jan.)
• Mine and Clynn's FIVE YEAR dating anniversary tonight! <3
• Winter quarter classes starting on MONDAY! OH MY!!!
• Moving in a few weeks! (apartment hunting has been interesting. haha Can't wait for the search to be over. I seriously put a ton of thought into our final decision every time we move and sometimes it doesn't really seem to make a difference at all...=/)
• New Bed shopping
• More Baby shopping and crafting! 

I want to share a few of my favorite outfits!!!

(Only a few because I want some to be a cute surprise 

when I am posting way too many photos of him on the blog in just SEVEN WEEKS! ;)

(Baby H&M is clearly my favorite and 

of course Carter's is a great go-to. 

I am excited to shop more small businesses in the future.)

So far, THIS will be his coming home outfit!! <3

Some Baby Shower Gift Notes:

We've put a hold on most shopping until after the baby shower so we can just fill in the final things we need. :) Here is a link to our baby registry at Target if you want to check it out. You can also just search "Jaclynn Wilkinson" and I'm the only one! :) I'm pretty picky about what products I'll use on and around my baby, so if you don't recognize an ingredient or the ingredient list is a mile long...I'll probably re-gift it! Also, we are GOOD TO GO on bottles, diaper bags, binkies (if you are looking for the most natural/nontoxic option, check out Natursutten & ecopiggy! I can't wait to use these! <3), and newborn/0-3 month clothes! We are in need of clothes sizes 3months and up, swaddle/regular blankets, burp cloths, scratch mittens, hats, bibs, any size newborn or size 1 (only) Honest Company Diapers, and Earth's Best Organic Sensitivity Infant Formula. Those would all be FANTASTIC gifts! <3 We are only asking for size newborn and size 1 Honest diapers because starting in March or April, we will be receiving a month supply of diapers every month, so chances are, if you buy a larger size, they will go unused or be regifted!

My Fit Pregnancy

My Top Three Tips for a fit(ter) Pregnancy.

These also apply to non-pregnant people, but I have found them especially helpful the past 31+ weeks.

I will be the first to admit that I have not had the fittest pregnancy on Instagram...or Pinterest...or in the mommy blogosphere. I LOVE baking (and taste testing) cookies/bars/breads! I am horizontal...allot. Especially now that my ribs have become prime baby real estate. I cry for stupid reasons and I definitely have not made it to the gym every day...or every other day.

However, there are some healthy habits I have stuck by religiously, of which, I believe were HUGE contributors in my steady weight gain that has aloud me to feel in control of my body...at least in the weight gain department. ;)

Rule #1: Never skip a healthy breakfast!

The best policy, is to consume a healthy breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up.

Why is this so important?
1. You slept for 7-9 hours (hopefully!). Your body is in dehydration and starvation mode. It is time to wake up that metabolism and digestive system ASAP!
2. Start your day off on the right foot by deciding to make a healthy decision first thing.

Excuses:
"I am just not a breakfast person." 
If you want to be your healthiest (or even just healthier), breakfast is not an option. YOU CAN train your body to expect and enjoy breakfast! (I know! I had to train my husband to be a breakfast eater when we married! For the first few months he'd stick up his nose. I was persistent. kept preparing breakfast and putting it in front of him. Now, three and a half years later, he's a die hard breakfast fan! :D)
"I do not have time in the morning to prepare breakfast!"
Breakfast can be prepared the night before!
See here for overnight oatmeal and here for (delicious and healthy) freezer breakfast burritos.
Also, breakfast does not have to be fancy and it doesn't have to be something different every day! If a slice of whole grain toast with Adam's PB and a small glass of orange juice is what works for you, go ahead and eat that on your way out the door for a week! Where as variety is HIGHLY recommended, skipping breakfast is worse.
And as a last resort, buy some meal bars and a case of water bottles to leave in your car and eat on your way to work! Be careful though. There are quiet the range of bars out there when it comes to picking a healthy one that's right for you.
Some of my favorites are here, here, and for a lighter option (I recommend pairing with a serving of nuts) here.

Rule #2: DRINK WATER!

There is a great chart for calculating how much water you should be drinking here. Pregnant women should be drinking even more. A good first step is to ensure you are at least drinking the recommended amount before pregnancy, and always shoot for what your midwife/ob/doctor is advising. :)

Why is this so important?
Oh, boy. There are SOOO many reasons. However, I will try to keep it short.
1. If you are not properly hydrated, your body will retain water causing puffiness, swelling, and water weight retention. By teaching your body that it does not have to save every ounce of water it gets, because it will indeed get more soon, you will begin to shed water weight which translates to inches and less snug wedding rings ladies!
2. Being well hydrated will cut down on your snacking. When you run for a snack, be sure to drink a glass of water first. Sometimes, you may realize that's all you actually wanted. If not, you just drank a glass of water leaving less room in your belly, allowing a smaller snack to be more satisfying.
3. This article is awesome and easy to understand. Water delivers the goods, takes out the trash, keeps you comfortable, takes care of your skin, and prevents puff. Couldn't have said it better myself. (Read article for a brief elaboration.)
4. Being well hydrated will help you poop! I don't know about you...but pregnancy has definitely made being "regular" a physical feat. Being backed up will easily cause you to feel heavier, more bloated, and less comfortable.

Excuses:
"I don't like the taste of water/water is so tasteless".
For these people, I have very little sympathy. GROW UP. If your child, with extremely new and delicate senses can try a piece of oddly textured and funky smelling broccoli last night, you can down a glass of water. However, I do have a few tips to help if this is you.

• Temperature masks flavor. The colder/warmer the water, the less you'll taste.
• Herbal tea is a great way to consume water. Find a smell/flavor you like and be educated on your herbs to make sure you are not consuming too much of a powerful one. Variety is always a good idea too.
• DO NOT always use sugary/sweet (this includes artificial sweetener) flavored powders in your water. This will seriously mess with your palette and consuming that much artificial sweetener or sugar a day will mess with your complexion and very possibly become the source of gastro intestinal issues. Don't believe me? Do some research. 
• Add lemon! Or lime or mint leaves and cucumber...there are many different ways to flavor your water in a natural fresh way. My only recommendation is to be mindful of your tooth enamel. :) Here is a great article on flavoring water with fruit and herbs. 

"I try, it's just so easy to forget!"

I AGREE! Solution? Become a water bottle carrying person. Hopefully, you know a few of these people or you've seen them around. CARRY A REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE with you every where you go! If you can do it with your phone, you can do it with water! Are water bottles a little clunky and annoying? Yeah...they are. But you get used to it and I guarantee the pros will end up out weighing the cons.

I find keeping a case of disposable water bottles in my car to be a very helpful reminder as well. 

and finally,

Rule #3: Pause & Give Me 10.

My husband thinks this rule is absolutely crazy and he makes fun of me for it often. Let me explain...

I don't always make it to the gym or set aside a specific 20 or 30 minutes a day for exercise. I do, however, exercise every day. Randomly, throughout the day, I'll just drop and do ten push ups. Stop in the middle of the hallway and do ten squats. Pause on my way up the stairs and pump out 15 incline push ups. Do 10 walking lunges on my way down the hall to move along the laundry. 10 quick squats in the shower while my conditioner is setting. Plie's (you know, the ballet style squat) while brushing my teeth or rinsing. You get the idea. This has been an ongoing habit of mine for about five years now. It becomes so easy to commit to just a few little exercises at a time, if you are willing to look silly of course. ;)

Why is this so important?

Well...I wouldn't say it's so important. More like a means to an end if you are having trouble fitting scheduled exercise time into your routine, or you just want to add a little something extra to your daily work out. Also, I believe quick bursts of energy throughout the day, keeps my metabolism moving quicker, more regularly.

Excuses:

I look ridiculous.

Yeah. I get a ton of strange looks and scoffs...which frankly I find kind of sad, but have learned to shake them off. Again, a pro largely outweighing a con. I feel like this little practice should be a norm in most households/work places. Why would you look at someone funny for doing push ups or pumping out a few crunches by their desk at work? I think they should get a high five and an extra treat if they want it. :) That being said, you can go over board with this one. Try not to get obsessive.

What are some of your fit pregnancy tips?

Hoping to keep up the good work for just 9 more weeks before I have to take a break. Then, it's back to the treadmill! Hoping to train up in time for some military schools, a family trip to Vegas, and possibly a short mission to El Salvador! Also, my sister wants me at an Iron Man Competition in October 2015. Crazy lady...we'll see. haha

OBTAINABLE GOALS ARE SOOO GOOD!!!

Love,

Jaclynn Wilkinson

Maternity Photos

Okay, time for PICTURE OVERLOAD! <3

I know my belly is still a little small in these photos and ya'll are ready to see me be huge. haha, Nicole and I promise to try and snap a few good ones when I'm closer to 40 weeks. These were taken the same day as our gender reveal photos at 28 weeks. We had such a blast, as always, and loved having Nicole's hubby there so mine didn't feel so outnumbered this time! :) Again, we had so much fun and I highly recommend her photography to anyone. She is willing to travel, so let me know if you'd like a quote for family/maternity/baby/wedding/product photography. She's done it all!

The little bits of pretty lettering you'll find in here, and in my previous post, were hand drawn by another friend of mine. She's not quiet ready to come out as a calligraphist, but I assure you, there will be a blog update just for her and her beautiful work when she is! ;)

Lastly, we grow more excited to meet this little guy EVERY DAY!!! The reality of him joining our forever family is sinking in and some days we are scared, some days we are anxious, some days we feel like we'll explode with joyous anticipation, and some days we just feel like I'll be pregnant forever. We love you little Mr. and we can't wait to meet you. <3

Love,

The Wilkinson's

A little patience please. :)

I know some of you have logged on to see the pretty pictures I promised! 

We had a crazy school related emergency pop up out of no where this morning and it threw my schedule (and sanity) off quiet a bit. Luckily, with a little paper work, many annoying phone calls, and errands to a few different offices, most issues have been resolvable. Collecting my education benefits has been a part time, incredibly unpredictable job! I'll tell you what, a deployment and 5+ years in service is not enough for these people... =/ Spending the afternoon counting blessings and trying to calm down after the chaos. I'll have the photos up by 7:00pm this evening. :) In the meantime, here is one of my favorites to hold you over and to get me started on my blessing counting. <3

Love,

Jackie <3

30 Weeks!

Gym Selfie at 30 Weeks!

I think yesterday was the last time I wear that tank top for a while. haha

3/4 of the way through!!

How far along? 30 weeks today. Baby is the size of a large cabbage and has a 95% chance of survival outside the womb! Our little Mr. weighs almost THREE POUNDS and is measuring around 15.7 inches long 

Current due date: February 18, 2015

Total weight gain: 16 lbs! I feel like it's coming on quickly now. =/

Maternity clothes? I have discovered the maternity section at H&M and love pretty much everything. I have a green pair of skinnies I LOVE from them and just one actual maternity shirt. It's nice to wear something a little more fitted once in a while as opposed to my big flowy Rue 21 shirts I've been rocking and black fold over leggings, though AMAZING, were getting a little over worn. haha

Stretch marks? Nothing as of now! Fingers crossed for the home stretch. Still rubbing Belly Balm on my belly, hips, and thighs at least twice a day.

Best moments of the past three weeks: uuuhhh...Announcing the gender was fun. Maternity/gender reveal photo shoot was fun. :) (I'll be posting the remainder of our 28 week maternity photos on Friday!) Thanksgiving was a blast. I am loving the Christmas music and seeing the lights go up all over town. :) I've been doing a ton of cooking/baking and that's been fun. Mostly, trying to live in the moment as I keep catching myself yearning for tomorrow.

Miss anything? Mostly, I just miss being comfortable in my body. =/ I seriously have no clue how people make it through pregnancy without exercise. The only time I feel moments of physical relief, the past week or so, is when I'm in the shower or the couple hours following a good work out. Ribs, back, hips...it's all in constant need of massage and position changing.

Movement: Tons as always. His movements have definitely changed, though. I can tell he's put on a little chub. He likes to bury his head into my groin which is kinda funny. I joke that he's just a few inches too far to the right or left and that he better get it right by February.

Food cravings: WATER WATER WATER WATER. I'm so thirsty ALL THE TIME!!! (I just had to go refill my water bottle after typing that sentence. For serious.) I also eat way too much peanut butter and have been eating a ton of grapefruit and apples! Also, thanks to the holiday season, I've been having my fair share of Christmas goodies. ;) 

Have you started to show yet? Yeeeaahhh. I'm so weird about where people see me. =/ For some reason, I really don't like it when people can see me showing at church. I suppose it's because I don't like to be approached by strangers/acquaintances about my baby very much, so I do my best to hide it...it's getting harder. I only like to share my belly with anyone on the blog, best friends, and close family. Is that super weird? probably...but I feel how I feel.

Gender: Little Dude

Labor Signs: Almost endless Braxton Hicks and a few pretty intense contractions the past couple nights. I've had to tone down my exercise regiment and hopefully we can keep this guy growing to 38 weeks. (Watch me go like 41 weeks and this is all my body playing random and meaningless tricks...)

Belly Button in or out? A little bit out and mostly flat.

Wedding rings on or off? On. :) 

Looking forward to: 

• Getting our car all checked up on next week. It will feel nice to have the car operating 100% when we install the car seat!
• Drill this weekend. We got a month off and I miss my Army family! Hopefully my ACU's don't look too ridiculous with this bump. =/ Not exactly the professional SGT. look I'm going for. It's hard to be assertive with a waddle and a baggy uniform...
• Soaking up the next 2/3 weeks of Christmas season! <3
• Winter quarter classes starting up early next month. :)
• Moving next month!
• New Bed shopping
• More Baby shopping. He has almost everything he needs with the exception of a few big ticket items we're still saving up for. 

More pretty photos going up this Friday. :)

Baby W. IS A...?!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Today has been a Thanksgiving to remember! Clynn & I are feeling extra blessed in sharing what we are most grateful for this year. With family and friends who care and love us through all of our trials and triumphs, we are confident in taking on life's grandest journeys...most days. ;). We know you will all make phenomenal aunties, uncles, grandma's, great grandmas, grandpas, great grandpas, cousins, second cousins, and life long friends to our darling Baby W. Whether she or he be he or she. :)

Ready or not...

It's time for some color...

Baby W. IS A.......!!!!!

Clynn & I are SO SO SO excited to be having a Baby Boy!!! We won't lie. There was quiet a bit of shock at first. We had both just short of convinced ourselves Baby W. was a girl...and because I have only really ever nanny'd girls full time and all my little sisters are girls and most of my little cousins are girls I was quiet stunned at the news. Though I knew it was a valid possibility, having a Baby Boy will DEFINITELY be a NEW NEW journey to us.

Even though Clynn is the third, we have yet to fully agree on a name. (No, it's not okay for Grandpa to decide what my first sons name would be three generations ago. lol. Sorry bud, but Women have rights now and I want a say too!) Though, a Jr. or a fourth is not off the board, we will be happy to announce his name when we are ready. <3 For now, we call him Little Mr. or just He/Him/Dude...and sometimes Butt Head when he hurts me. :) But only I can call him that.

Shopping has been SO MUCH FUN for a little boy!!! I am excited to share all of my favorite little outfits and accessories in the coming blogs. <3

Love,

The Wilkinson's

Baby Mikey

I completely forgot to include this awesome news in my Bumpdate under 

"Best moments of the last three weeks"!!

Mine and Clynn's best friend couple, Kelsie & Mike, had their sweet baby boy last week! It was so special for us to be able to go visit them in the hospital and hold less than 48 hour Michael Paul Junior. <3

Clynn & I don't have much experience with infant babies. I don't think either one of us has been around a newborn in the last 9 years, let alone got to snuggle one! Being able to watch Kelsie & Mike with their first baby has been really helpful. Them allowing us to see all the things we'll be doing in less than a few months, and ask endless questions, has been a great preparation! Plus, we just LOVE this family and getting to be there for the beginning of it has been so cool. 

Kelsie & I can't wait for our babies to play together. 

Also, I just HAD to share with everyone my new favorite picture of Clynn!!!

 <3 Doesn't this just melt your heart?? <3

I'm sure it'll be a different picture come late Feb. ;)

27 Weeks

Goodbye Feet. 

HELLO, THIRD TRIMESTER! 

Aaaand these are the kind of belly shots I get when I've waited way too long to do them so there is no day light and the husband is tired and ready for dinner...It's been a long day everyone.

How far along? 27 weeks today. Baby is the size of a large Papaya and has an 80-95% chance of survival outside the womb! Last week, our ultrasound technician said Baby W weighs about 1lb 12oz, about 14 inches long, and is currently in the 40th percentile when compared to other babies of the same age. :) 

Current due date: February 18, 2015

Total weight gain: 13 lbs 

Maternity clothes? Still using the Belly Belt & wearing my fold over (yoga pant style) leggings. I slip into jeans a couple times a week still, though they're definitely not my favorite any more. =P I may need to break down and buy a maternity pair soon. I'll start keeping an eye out on my shopping trips for W. (I am very picky, so please no maternity clothes as gifts!)

Stretch marks? Nothing as of now! Still rubbing Belly Balm and/or Lotion on my hips and belly three times a day and a little every time I feel an itch.

Best moments of the past three weeks: I treated myself to a gel manicure a couple weeks ago and I just LOVE having my nails done pretty! :) I feel so much more put together. 

Pretty sure I'll be taking prenatals forever. I would have started taking them YEARS ago if I had known how amazing they would be for my nails!

Pre-mani. So healthy!

 

Also, we got to see our little one on an ultrasound late last week!!! Oh my goodness was it awesome. We got to view the baby in 2D & 3D. He/She had a complete head to toe check up with size measurements, blood flow measurement to brain, heart, kidneys... finger and toe counting, eye placement, etc...It's amazing all we can learn now! We even got to see sweet baby's little lips and nose. <3 An all too cute pudgy baby face already. Clynn even thinks he saw some hair on W's tiny noggin' in the 3D viewing! 

SHOPPING SHOPPING SHOPPING with my bestie Nicole was SO much fun! Clynn and I are excited to share the gender with you all on Thanksgiving and I can't wait to post some pics of my favorite little outfits. <3

Miss anything? I am starting to feel kind of massive so I miss being smaller. =/ I am just ecstatic to have my own little human, but being pregnant in general, is not my favorite thing. It's starting to get difficult to put on my right foot sock. I never notice when I'm putting on my left sock for some reason...but when I get to the right it comes with a little trip forward and some grunting. It's not very cute.

Movement: Can you say KICK IN THE RIBS??? My baby can't, but it sure is a new favorite activity of hers/his! One day, our baby will be extra fussy and I'll say "cry it out kid...this is for those times you kicked me so hard it made me jump and grimace and then be sore all day." ...and then I'll probably whimper a little and say, "Just kidding...that's long enough." haha -BUT- there will be a moment of toughness and coldness on my part. A short one. 

Food cravings: Yams with cinnamon, honey, and chopped nuts! WATER WATER WATER. I think I have some kind of needing water constantly condition. haha. I've seen it referenced in articles, but I'm pretty sure I drink my recommended daily amount by noon most days. Don't worry, I won't over hydrate! lol Some people...

Have you started to show yet? ABSOLUTELY. 

Gender: ANNOUNCING THANKSGIVING DAY!!!

Labor Signs: No new ones, I don't think. Some moments my uterus/belly definitely feels tighter than others. Could be a number of things though...

Belly Button in or out? Uuuhh...a little bit out, a little bit flat, and a little bit in. My belly button is super WEIRD because of my hernia...I think it'll be sticking out in a couple weeks though. That'll be fun to dress. hahaha

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving! I have been thinking about Thanksgiving dinner foods sense August I think...I just love Thanksgiving. AMAZING food, AWESOME company, hard busy work with a great pay off, food coma naps, prepping for the best shopping deals...Just all relaxing and homey and sweet. We are SO excited to share it with a nine month old next year, but will enjoy our last Thanksgiving as just us, I'm sure. :)

STAY POSTED FOR OUR GENDER ANNOUNCEMENT! 

(There will be CUTEE pictures!)

Announcement to be posted on the blog as soon as all of our close family 

has been told in person or phone calls have been made! (Probably around 5:00pm PTZ)

Thanks for stopping in & we wish you'll 

~ ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY ~

Love, 

Jaclynn, Clynn, Benny, Max, & Baby
