I’ve had a vision of what our baby’s nursery would look since way before I was pregnant – it was a nice thing to focus on when trying to conceive. Every room in our home has had some tlc except for the spare room, so now with Baby Caton on the way, it’s the final […]

10 weeks pregnant + 6 days How many tests have you taken this week? None. Stretch marks? Nope. Sleep? Still struggling at times, but I am now able to take naps easily throughout the day when I get a spare 15 mins to simply rest. So that has helped with the poor sleep at night. […]
