And here is a GPOY to show that I still have a face.
Cyrus and Thatcher love to eat. Too much like their Mama. 😂
This is the first time I've logged on here in so long omg. It feels so weird.
Babies are still good. They are now 2 and 1, and I am finally getting the hang of being a mom??
We just bought a house and are fixing it up.
I've lost like 60 lbs.
Still love Jesus hardcore.
Hope y'all are well. ❤
This is how you slow dance when you have two babies.
Life is something else, tumblr. I tell ya. Being a mom of two is wild.
My due date is Monday. I am due on Labor Day. God must have gotten a good laugh out of that one.
I am ready to not be pregnant for at least a year okay great. Thatcher needs to evacuate this womb
Even when You take away, Lord, You are still good.
This little man makes me melt. I can't believe he is going to be 1 on Sunday. Time flies...and then you add another infant in the mix! #teethies #cyruslee
Hi friends. It has certainly been a while. I come here tonight with a request that you all please pray for me. Some of you probably don't know, but my daddy passed away on May 31. It has been almost two months now, and my heart still is shattered from it. He had a massive stroke and was in the ICU for two days until my mother and I made the decision together, with much prayer, to move him to comfort care. He then was moved to a private room without a bunch of tubes in him, and around 12:45 pm on May 31, I watched my precious daddy breathe his last breath and go home to be with the Lord.
My dad was my best friend, aside from my mom and my husband. Cheesy as it may sound, it is the absolute truth. I could talk to him about anything, and so to have his presence taken so suddenly from me has been the most difficult thing I have had to deal with. I miss him so badly. I just want to talk to him and tell him how much I love him one more time, you know?
I am not having as many flashbacks to the hospital as I was, but they still do happen. I have moments where I smell the smells that were in the room the moment he died, and I get sent into a panic. Those times are growing fewer and fewer, thank God. I hate death. I cannot wait for the moment that it is forever destroyed.
I am due to have my second son, Thatcher, sometime around September 5. I am heartbroken that he will not get to see his next grand baby. I am sad that Thatcher and Cyrus will grow up without knowing their Paw, except only through stories and home movies.
I miss my daddy. I miss him so much. Please pray for me and my mom. We are both still very much not okay.
Welp, we are having another little boy! Thatcher Lawrence will be his name. :-) We’ll see if baby #3 will give us that girl everyone was hoping for.
We find out what gender baby2 is on Thursday morning. Part of me really wants a girl, but another part of me loves my chubby little boy so much that I would definitely not mind another. 100% of really doesn’t care either way, I just want a healthy little.

Today I turned 27. I remember being 25 and swearing if things didn’t get better by my 26th birthday, I would kill myself and be done with it all. Two years later, I sit here with the honor of being wife to an incredible, loving husband...a mother to an incredible little boy and another tiny one on the way. Life is so hard sometimes and it is hard in different ways for all of us. But, life has a way of turning around, if given the chance to. Things don’t happen in our time. Just wait, it gets better. To think that I could have missed out on climbing a waterfall with my husband, or hearing my sweet baby’s first cry, or just being here on this Earth trying to show the love of Jesus to others...it makes me ache. Oh my Lord, it does it get better.
Please stay. Stay with us.
This is just a little testimony of something amazing that God did for me. Okay, so as a lot of you know, I've had hyperthyroidism/Grave's Disease since early 2011, and have had to be on and off medication since then. When I got pregnant with Cyrus, I had my thyroid levels monitored, and they improved to the point of getting to go completely off medicine and be considered in remission. This pregnancy happens and I get my labs done, and my levels are again showing signs of hyperthryoidism, so I was put on a different, "safer", anti-thyroid drug for a few weeks and then sent to endocrinology once it was showing that my levels were still off. My appointment was yesterday with a new endocrinologist, and I was insanely nervous because I wanted to voice that I did not want to be on medicine while pregnant. The anti-thyroid drugs have so many side effects, for both mother and baby, and I had already taken myself off the PTU drug a week ago because of some pretty rough side effects. So, I am nervous that the doctor is going to push that I switch to the other anti-thyroid drug that is recommended during the rest of the pregnancy and what I'll say/what he'll say.
Important side-note: Two days ago, Nick came into our room before I woke up and said that he felt like the Lord told him to pray for me right then for healing in my thyroid and that I would be healed. After we prayed, I just kind of stayed awake for a few minutes (and this next part might be weird to some of yall, haha), and I don't know if it was a dream or what, but I could see two thyroid glands: the first that I saw was healthy and normal-sized, and the second was enlarged and unhealthy- which was my thyroid. Since 2011, every nurse/doctor that has felt of my thyroid has remarked on how enlarged it was. But in this dream, the enlarged thyroid vanished, and all I could see was the healthy one. And so I thought, "Alright, Lord. You just showed me my healthy, healed thyroid. So when I go to the endocrinologist, he is going to feel of my thryoid and say that it feels completely normal and that I don't need to be on medication."
Last part (I promise). We go to the appointment on the 22nd. The doctor is incredible (His name is Dr. Larry K. Cantley, if you need an endocrinologist in NC...I super recommend him)- I am serious, probably one of the best I have ever met with. He tells me that my levels are not high enough to have me on any medication, and that we would just keep a check on my levels to be safe...but he thought I would go my whole pregnancy without any medication. Prayer 1 straight up answered. And then, the big thing happened. He gave me a cup of water and watched me swallow, and then he felt of my thyroid gland as I swallowed. At this point, everyone usually gets a concerned look and says, "You know your thyroid is pretty enlarged, right? We need to keep a check on it." And in my head I am like, "Okay, Jesus. I know that you've healed me." And after he felt of my neck, he said that my thyroid felt completely normal, and if there was any enlargement at all, it was so slight he wouldn't even worry with it. Um, come on, Jesus?! This thing has been huge at least since 2011, and now it's normal? After just about 1 month prior, my midwife felt of it and said how enlarged it felt. Jesus! So, I left that office almost in tears with how great God is. And He was like, "See? Why do you worry so much? You know I have your back."
And I just got an email that my thyroid labs that he took at the appointment were in. And they are all COMPLETELY NORMAL! And my liver function that was elevated because of the medication I was on is also normal now, from 47 to down to 12! They were all abnormal not even a month ago (my last labs were 3/8)! The Lord is incredible!!
So, I just wanted to tell you guys about how rad the Lord is and what a crazy awesome thing he did for me, and that He can and wants to do the same for you. He loves us all so much.
Happy first day of Spring. :’)
