Baby Bump: 19 Weeks

19 weeks. Wow. It is all going by so fast!!!

Baby is the size of a tomato now.
*Today is Christmas*
Merry Christmas
Kiki is becoming increasingly interested with my belly. haha
This weeks craving seems to be Cherry Limeade's
I almost put french fries in a salad...... still sounds good....
I bought your first pair of boots :)
Thought about wrapping them and putting them under the tree.
I had a dream that you had a twin.
& that you looked like your cousin Kamryn haha.
.... I haven't even remotely thought of you looking like her.. but I guess you could.
no more weight gain this week. Still at +3lbs.
Pregnancy seems to be making me feel really beautiful.
I owe that all to you sweet Kolton :)




*Christmas Eve and Day posts coming soon*

Christmas Decor 2014

First off, in the winter, I get really crappy natural light in our living room.
More like non-existent natural light. So yes, I know these photos are not the best.
I did what I could with the ugly light I had available.

I am way behind in posting this. I set up all of our decorations the day after Thanksgiving
with the help of three of my nieces. I am just now getting around to photographing
and posting. Way to procrastinate, Jamie.

Anyway here we have it, this years decor :)
(& yes, I know I have a tiny living room lol) 

I found the above angel at CVS Pharmacy. I have been wanting an angel
for the top of the tree and she was perfect, except when I got her home I realized,
she was too big for my narrow tree. boo. :( It's okay she will fit my tree that we have
in storage in FL.... as soon as we have time to get that one out of storage. haha. 

I posted about shoesthatfit.org on my instagram account. In case you do not have
an Instagram, it is a pretty neat cause... I found it at Nordstrom Rack
and believe that most Nordstrom stores are doing this. You just pic a little card
that has the name and age of a child you are giving a pair of shoes too. It was only $10!!
They are working with local schools, so you are giving right back to your own
community. Really hope the little girl loves her new pair of shoes :)

Hope you like what I did this year!!! Hopefully next year we will be in a
bigger place and I will have more room to decorate :)

Baby Bump: 18 Weeks

I can't believe I am already 18 weeks!!!!!!
Each week is passing in a blur. It's going by much faster than I assumed it would..

This week baby is the size of sweet potato
lots of energy in the morning.
crashing at night haha!
Finally shopping by myself again..
that means a much happier mommy and daddy.
I bought you a deer head for your room tehehe ;)
I *think* I felt you.
But, I am not sure yet..
I was mistaken for being 30 weeks along this week. lovely.
I gained 3 pounds. I might want to lay off the junk food.
new craving... egg and cheese sandwiches. :)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my nephews Brian and Emiryc!!! 

Can't believe Brian is already 8 years old!!!
& Emiryc will be ONE tomorrow!!
WHAT?!

I miss you guys bunches, and I am so sad it has been a whole year and I still haven't had the chance to meet Emiryc (which is why I have no photo of him) :(

I hope you boys have awesome birthdays.. and hopefully it won't be toooo much longer before I get to see you guys. (and naturally b-day cards aren't in the mail yet.. I am trying haha)

*awe.. look how cute Brian is.. this is from 2012*

Baby Bump: 17 Weeks

Please excuse this weeks mess of a photo.. week 17 was not the easiest week :(
I ended up in the ER because of an infection, then had a reaction to one of the medications... and had to go back. I pretty much felt like crap all week. Boo. I almost didn't take one. But decided I would be mad at myself if I skipped this week. So ponytail and crappiness is the result! HAHA!

This week baby is the size of a pear!
felt like crap obviously HA..
We finally decided on a name...
Kolton Keith
Hopefully Keith does not change it again.
Zero weight gain.
Not sure how that is even remotely possible.
Still feel huge. But told I am "all baby" :)
I eat all the darn time.
Chicken sandwiches are seriously amazing ;)

Baby Bump: 16 Weeks!

I can't believe I am already in my 16th week!! There for awhile, time went by super slow, but it has definitely sped up. Could just be that it is the holiday season :)

This week baby is the size of a Avocado.
& I am finally starting to feel better!
We found out baby is a BOY!!
& we bought lots of baby clothes.
Keith decided he didn't like the name we had picked out
so, we are in the process of trying to pick another.
...I really don't like that baby doesn't have a name. :(
I feel like I am huge!! This photo is very deceiving.. maybe the angle?
I am finally getting my appetite back..
I gained 2 pounds, but then lost them.. probably fluctuation..

Anyway.. here is the 16th week bump!

Bye, Bye, Facebook!

For the most part anyway. 

I still have access to my photography page for obvious reasons. 

My pregnancy group and my boutique and model group. But that is it.


It was actually very hard to press the deactivate button, but I did it, and it felt so great!
I used to love Facebook. Being able to communicate with old friends, share photos etc.
However, lately, to me, Facebook just seems like a place for people to stir up drama.
It is incredibly annoying. The amount of untrue stories being circulated. The posts BASHING
other people for being different.... It is insane. I also hated that I no longer had actual
control of what would show up in my news feed. Got to love having an 8 year old little girl standing over your shoulder as you are scrolling and a naked photo of Channing Tatum pops up.
That's great if someone else wants to see that. I don't. And my 8 year old niece certainly does
not need to see it. Anyway, point is, Facebook, has become a place I do not like. Maybe
I will reactivate it after awhile.. and you may see it reactivated for short periods of time(so that
I can pull info I need off of that page) But for now you can keep up with me here on the blog
or on my Instagram account @JamieBraggPhoto :)
