Back to the Beginning

Let me start off this post by taking you all back to last year! Last year, we decided we wanted to have a baby, so after months of planning and discussing, we agreed to start trying last July. After much prayer and patience, we finally got our wish in October!






Then our adventure in pregnancy really began! Over the next few months, we experienced many of the ups and downs that come with raging hormones, many doctor's visits, and an expanding waistline. Overall, I was blessed to have a healthy pregnancy, but we did have some spotting early into it that gave us quite a scare and had to repeat some glucose tests that all turned out okay! In no time at all, I quickly went from this.....




To this.....


 20 weeks

And finally onto this........







Needless to say, I got very BIG while pregnant, but that can be expected right? As I said, I was blessed with a healthy pregnancy and despite any small scares along the way, things went as smoothly as possible. Time really seemed to fly by once we found out we were having a baby girl!!!
As I look back on my pregnancy, I am thankful that it went so well, and hopeful that any pregnancies in the future will be just as normal!

Come one come all!!



Welcome to the Mitchell family's first official blog!!

 I am creating this blog to allow friends and family access to our daily lives now that Mia is here. Since we live so far away from many of you, hopefully this will allow you to see Mia as she grows and changes! I do not consider myself a writer in any way shape or form, so please bear with me and I hope you enjoy!
