Baby Jay’s Faves

Strength + Humility

Today is officially the first day of 2023, and I spent my first waking hours saying goodbye to my Mother-In-Love and Father-In-Love as they left for Louisiana this morning. I hated to see them go, but I know they have to get back home. My family and I got dressed and...

My Funny Valentine?

My husband and I are supposed to be in the Caribbean this Valentine's Day, but I didn't want to travel this late during the pregnancy, so we cancelled our plans --- bummer.  Valentine's Day is here and it hasn't always been that funny or fun for me.  I know...

Gender Reveal Party

This will be my only post this week.  I need a break after all of the suspense from this weekend!  I literally felt like I had run a marathon. Our Gender Reveal Party was so much fun!  We were surrounded by over 30 friends and family who attended the...
