"Shatter Me"

The days are getting colder, and I can finally feel winter coming on in Arkansas! This Christmas break, I started back up my reading. This is about to be a book post FYI!! I finished the series after the first few days of being back at school. 

The first book is called, "Shatter Me," next we have, "Unravel Me," and lastly, "Ignite Me." I loved all three. "Unravel Me" and "Ignite Me" were better than Shatter Me. My sister-in-law got me started on the series back in 2014! I just haven't thought about reading since having Kinslee. It was always hard to find the time! Now, I have been better at that. It is actually one of my New Year's resolutions. It has to do with a dystopian society once again. If you loved Hunger Games or Divergent, then you will love Shatter Me. Now, the second and third books get a bit intimate, so if that's not your thing, then you may not. It is hard to stop reading this series once you are finished with the first one!

 You can look me up on Goodreads.com where I post the books I read, rate them, and write reviews on. I got the account a long time ago and just recently started to get back on to update it. There's a widget to tell you what I'm reading right here on my blog home page! "Fracture Me," and "Destroy Me," are books told from Warner and Adam's perspective.

The book I am reading now is, "The Red Queen," and pretty good! It will be a movie and the second book hasn't come out yet, so I'm happy to be on a series still in the works!

Happy reading!

It's a...

On December 21st, we found out the gender of our baby! So excited to share. I haven't posted anything on social media yet! I have told many people, though. It's a...BOY! Coy and I are thrilled, but especially Coy.

Christmas Eve was spent with the Curringtons, Christmas morning by ourselves, Christmas afternoon with my family, and the day after Christmas with the Bells. I loved how we did it because we were able to see everyone! I even got to bring Kinslee another day to see the Curringtons! I enjoyed our time together! Coy, Kinslee, and I were cold sick during those two weeks of break, but finally over it! I am happy to get back into a routine, but extra sad to not be a stay-at-home mommy right now. It's getting to where I'm crying because I want to be with her every day! Kinslee has been a wild woman. She runs around everywhere and talks a lot. You really have to have the energy to keep up with her! I can't wait to see how it will be with two kiddos

Preggo Updates:

Weight Gain: 12 pounds total

Symptoms: Shortness of breath. Nothing major, and taking in the 2nd trimester. I know it will get worse, so I am "savoring" this time.

Weeks Pregnant: 22 weeks and 3 days

New Clothes: Maternity leggings. I have discovered that this is a must in the fall/winter for us preggo people! I wore mine almost every day for my two-week break. I also purchased a Piko mid-sleeve one size bigger. I LOVE it, and I can wear it after this pregnancy (That's what I'm going for. You can really get away with doing this with the exception of any pants). 

There are a few staple maternity-only clothes that every pregnant mommy needs depending on the season: jeans (skinny/flare), shorts, leggings, white and black tanks (regular tanks won't fit over the belly!), long sleeve, short sleeve, coat, and bra. 

20 week pic! It's harder to remember to take any bump pictures the second go around!

We got a big girl bed with cute sheets

She loves her rocking horse from Granny and Pops

Taking a walk! I'm beginning to give up on fighting her cowlick for a while

Petco days. She actually enjoyed the birds a lot!
