Alexandra Elizabeth Whitten

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't written any posts as of late! 6 weeks ago we had our precious baby girl! She weighed 6lbs 6oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.. She was born at 2:50pm on June 6,2016

It has been so amazing having her and I am so in love with our gorgeous girl! We named her Alexandra Elizabeth.. We came up with the name before we even knew the gender.. It has been a whirl wind leading up to the birth of her.. I found out at 32 weeks that I had developed Preeclampsia and so I was put on modified bed rest with weekly dr visits and needed to deliver at 37 weeks.. I was so very happy to be able to have a natural birth with her! I was in labor for 9 hours from the time they started the pitocin until the moment she was born.. 

A day after she was born we got a newborn photoshoot done.. I will be adding some of my favorites below from that photoshoot.. 

Fast forward to this evening I am still so in awe of our girl! She is already holding her head up really well and loves her tummy time and smiles at both her mommy and daddy! She's a daddy's girl, and loves her doggie Cassie so much! (Cassie is our Great Dane) She's also a wonderful sleeper at night too! Sleeping most times 6 hours! Occasionally she might wake up after sleeping for 4 but thats not very often! ;)
She also loves sleeping on her stomach in her cradle.. Soon we will be slowly making the transition over to her crib in her room.. 

I hope each of you have a wonderful night! I'll try to post more but can't promise when that might be! ;)

Blessings, 

Elizabeth

Pink Blush Maternity

Hey everyone! I pray that each of you are having a wonderful Sunday and first of a new week!!

About a week ago I was given an opportunity to model and review an article of clothing from Pink Blush Maternity and now that it was nice outside to take the pictures I am writing my blog post about how much I am in love with my new dress!! I picked the mint green floral dress and I definitely couldn't be happier about my choice!!

I love how this dress focuses on my baby bump and how flattering it is also! The length is so perfect too!! If you want an adorable dress for your upcoming baby shower, event, or just because you want a cute dress I highly recommend getting this!! I paired my new wedged heels with this dress and I love how they all look together!! I am sure with any kind of heels would be great as with flats and sandals!! This dress will be my go to dress for the rest of my pregnancy for any time we go out or even when we go shopping and I want a dress! :)

Back To Blogging

Hey everyone! How have each of you been? I have been good! I took a break from blogging because I didn't know if I wanted to do a Fashion Blog, Lifestyle Blog, etc.. But I have decided that I am just going to continue with the style I am doing now.. A little mixture of everything.. :) 

Ok, here is what has been going on  the last several months, My husband and I are expecting our first baby in June of this year!! We are beyond excited to be having this little girl! We are naming her Alexandra Elizabeth.. It has been more like a family tradition to have the name Elizabeth as a first or middle name and I wanted to keep that going.. Currently I am 23 weeks along and feeling baby girl kick and move all the time.. It's so amazing to feel her move and know that in 4 months we will be meeting our little girl!

Wow, I can't believe that it's already March!! How the months are surely flying by! Can't believe that Spring is already almost upon us! I am so ready to get out into the flower beds and work up all the weeds and such and start getting some new flowers to plant! We didn't get any snow this year here in North Mississippi.. But that's ok! I am sure we will get our share of snow some winter.. ;)

Ok, for any of my followers that are either expecting or already have children and are looking into having another child.. I highly recommend Pink Blush Maternity they have such cute and affordable maternity clothes and they are so comfortable!! And they are ALWAYS running sales too!! You can also follow them on Instagram and Facebook (if you have either one) and watch when they give out codes for certain amounts off your order! They are also free shipping always kind of company which always helps!

Well I am going to head off! Hope each of you have a wonderful week!

Pro Life Generation

Ok, I am going to go on a rant/blog post about some comments I was reading on Instagram about abortion, and Planned Parenthood! 
I am Pro Life all the way!! I don't care who tries to tell me differently I think its wrong and thats that!! I also think that what the Planned Parenthood group has been doing is wrong too!! Selling baby body parts for money is WRONG and DISGUSTING!!! Granted yes when Planned Parenthood first started they were there to help pregnant women with prenatal care and even there for women after they had the child/children but now all they're here for is abortion and selling baby body parts... And to sit there and say that a baby is just a "big clump of cells" is just very sad!! It makes me oh so sad to think that people of this nation think a baby is a clump of cells and doesn't have any feelings, and isn't "alive" yet... News flash!! It definitely is ALIVE from the time he/she has been conceived in the womb and even after he/she is born!!! I am so sick of pro choice people sitting there condemning pro life people and christians no less cause of our views against abortion!! And to sit there and tell me that I need to read more books other than the Bible is just wrong!!! I read many books and have done research and I don't see where its still right to have an abortion done!! 
And also I don't understand why every single time abortion is brought up every one has to bring up rape victims!! Why? Whats the point of bringing up rape victims? 
I am also going to quote Bible scriptures about children and about them being a blessing from God!!
"For I am fearfully and wonderfully made"
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate

.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Even before we were even thought of God has/had a plan for us!! And I still believe that God has a plan for every baby and person still!! 

I 

I might be a conservative Christian with conservative views but I am NOT close minded and think that women should be "baby machines" and I don't appreciate people that don't even know me calling me that!! OK, I think this is my end of rant/blog post... Hope each of you have a wonderful night!!

Blessings,

Elizabeth
