41 weeks! Still patiently waiting on our girl!

41 weeks!
Still patiently waiting on our girl! Our family is overfilled with joy as we soak up these last few days as a family of 3! The days have been filled with last minute home renovations (the projects never end around here), lots of love and laughter, and the little extra rest we can find before we welcome a newborn! I’m just enjoying the baby kicks and the last few days pregnant until I get to meet my girl! How long past your due date did your little one arrive??

Well we have officially made it to 40 weeks — fu

Well we have officially made it to 40 weeks — fully baked! Happy due date baby girl!!! 💕 Now what birth date will you choose!?
Maybe just wait a couple more days until this ice storm is over! 🙏🏼 ❄️ Any guesses on her arrival date?
My son was born at 41 weeks 3 days!

39 weeks and nearing the end! How much longer? On

39 weeks and nearing the end!
How much longer? One day? One week? Maybe three? It’s all in God’s timing, not ours! I am thankful that HE knows the perfect birthday for our sweet baby girl and she will arrive in HIS perfect time. Funny how our modern culture seems to expect women to birth right at or before the 40-week mark. Mamas are often persuaded to schedule inductions so it can be done on their OB’s time. They are made to feel that something is wrong with them or their baby if they have not given birth by 40 weeks!
It seems to have become to norm in our society to plan birth when it’s convenient for us. Mamas, remember that your provider works for YOU and that ultimately your birth plans and preferences are YOUR decision! I am thankful to have been blessed with a provider who respects that God sends our babies when they are ready and that birth flows much more smoothly that way! Baby girl we are excited to meet you whenever you are ready!

Who is the voice for your children? Is it the do

Who is the voice for your children? Is it the doctor telling you what to do for your child’s health?
Is it the government telling you how to keep them safe?
Is it the pastor to lead them on their spiritual walk?
Is it an outsider looking in telling you what you how THEY raised their children? While these can be valuable resources at times, these “authorities” will NOT always have the best interest of OUR children in mind. As their mother, the Lord gifted me these children and I am humbly learning to be their voice... the only voice they have at such young ages. Who cares more for their health, happiness, and eternal souls than I as their mother? I’ve had to 𝕊𝕋𝔸ℕ𝔻 𝕊𝕋ℝ𝕆ℕ𝔾 as many criticized the health choices I made for my child (and the one on the way). I’ve spent ℂ𝕆𝕌ℕ𝕋𝕃𝔼𝕊𝕊 hours researching ways to heal their bodies safely from outside ailments. I’ve ℙℝ𝔸𝕐𝔼𝔻 for their souls since before they even entered this world. I am just a soon-to-be mama of two and am simply striving to give them the best as the only voice they have right now. I was chosen as their mother and I answer to a much higher power than those “authorities” aforementioned!

We have made it to 37 weeks and I’m feeling more

We have made it to 37 weeks and I’m feeling more confident in this body than ever! I can honestly say I love being pregnant and have enjoyed this pregnancy even more than my last since my energy levels have been so high! I say it all the time, but I really do forget I’m pregnant most of the time! A woman’s body truly is so miraculous for all the things that it can do! I’m am a bit sad that this little guy will no longer be the baby, but praying he adjusts well! Clinging to and enjoying these last few weeks with this little boy stealing all of my undivided attention! 💙 Any mamas have any tips to share for going from one to two babies under two? I’d love any and all advice!! 🙏🏼

We took these maternity photos around our homestead on the most beautiful snow day! I am so grateful for the blessing that this pregnancy has been and have tried to savor every moment! My 35-week pregnancy update, along with more photos, are live on my blog! Linked in bio!

Are you craving more time with your precious famil

Are you craving more time with your precious family? I know I am! Being at the beach always makes me slow down and soak in the moments. (Well minus the moments I was chasing my 1 year old across the sand!) This past weekend, I was reminded that in this upcoming year I want more time with my family to enjoy these little moments. My beautiful family is growing in just a few short weeks.
And while I have big dreams to chase this year, I’m committing to being present in all of the little moments in their lives. Balance is key when building a dream life and I’m learning to master it one day at a time. 2021 is going to be our best year yet at the Harris Homestead!

The countdown is on until we welcome our little gi

The countdown is on until we welcome our little girl into our home! All the nesting and preparation has officially begun now that the holiday busyness is over! This week we made up a large batch of our homemade whipped diaper cream! We will have two babies in diapers so we need ALL the diapering essential stocked up!!! This is the only diaper cream we’ve used on my son and have had great success with this and cloth diapering! The tutorial video will be coming to my YouTube channel soon but the recipe is super simple! • coconut oil
• bentonite clay
• essential oils, optional Then we whipped all ingredients with a mixer! My little helper enjoyed making a mess but oh the memories we made together! 💙 #homemadediapercream

It’s crazy to think that in just about 10 weeks,

It’s crazy to think that in just about 10 weeks, we’ll be welcoming a baby girl into our lives! 💕 As I am planning my 30-week pregnancy update video for my YouTube channel, I’m amazed at how fast this pregnancy is flying by! Having two babies under two is going to be a challenge, as I’ve been told by many mamas! I’ve heard that having babies this close in age is going to upset my son’s world...and mine and my husband’s! “His world will be turned upside down.”
“He’s going to get a big wake up call.”
“He’ll be jealous and start acting out!” And I may find all of this to be true in a few short months. However, I know that God has gifted me an amazing support system and HE is bigger than those silly worries! Worry and fear is of the enemy, NOT of HIM! HE will give me the strength and love to give my two babies all of the love and attention they both need. If you know a new mama or mama to be, send her some words of encouragement not words of fear!!! Encouragement goes so much further!
