Hello!
I have three kiddos and one on the way, Rainey May, Windy April, and Alton Ryder. Rainey and Windy are 6, they’re twins.
-Rainey is my quiet girl, but I’m always trying to push her a bit. I’m hoping she’ll be a bit more extroverted as she gets older.
-Windy is the opposite though. Always saying hello to strangers in the store. I’m just hoping she’ll learn to be more careful. They’re exact opposites.
-And then there’s Alton, he’s 2. He’s my little cuddle bug. I think he’s just in the stage right now though, but I sure hope he’s still willing to give me hugs when he’s a teenager. 
-We have one on the way, but we won’t find out the gender for at least another month.
-Recently, we went to the beach and were able to get some great pictures! I’ll leave one of Rainey,

@Natureobsessed i actually didn’t even notice the similarities until you mention it! i totally didn’t make the juliette = juliet and rome = romeo until now! mind blown 
@melia22 I always enjoy hearing about your travels! [name_f]Luna[/name_f] looks like she’s having a ton of fun! [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] would love to come to her party! What’s she into these days? I’d love to pick up a gift that she’ll actually enjoy 
@BeeEl Nice to meet you! [name_f]Rainey[/name_f] is beautiful 
Things, as usual, have been pretty interesting around here. [name_f]Jules[/name_f] texted me this photo this morning after I left for work and can I just say WOW! It’s so wild to see her with a bump now! She’s been telling me about how excited she is to start showing and now that she finally popped she’s thrilled 
Though now she’s impaitently waiting to feel any movement from the little bubs. It’s definitely sinking in for real now that there’s gonna be a grandbaby in the house in less than four months!
She and [name_f]Rome[/name_f] have been working on their room lately. Since it’s me, DH, the two of them, [name_f]Hen[/name_f], and [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] all under one roof, while it’s not super cramped, there’s def not exactly room for a nursery so they’ve been planning to just make a cozy little corner in the bedroom that they already share. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] made a Pinterest board of inspo and here’s one of her pictures!
Hopefully we can turn their space into some place as cozy as that one looks for their baby girl. [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] has been eager to help. Now that [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] actually ‘looks’ pregnant the whole thing is clicking in her head now, although not entirely. A few weeks back [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] asked about when we were gonna see her sister’s baby, [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and I tried to explain that right now the baby was really small now and needed to grow big before we can meet her. [name_f]Jules[/name_f] compared it to a seed in the ground that sprouts into a plant. [name_f]Elly[/name_f] thought about it for a moment and then looked at her sister with a big of an unsettled look on her face and asked “Is [name_f]Julie[/name_f] gonna grow leaves too?” lol 
Thankfully we both assured her that no, her sister would not spout any kind of foliage. I think we’ll stick to straight up facts and no more metaphors now. Anyone else who’s been through this I wouldn’t mind hearing any tips about explaining pregnancy to a toddler 
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] and DH have been spending a lot of time together which is important. I really worried about him feeling forgotten with [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and [name_f]Rome[/name_f] and the baby, and of course [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] still needs me quite a bit too. The other night though he asked if we could have a family game night and of course we had to! We chose [name_m]Mario[/name_m] Kart since it could be played with 5 platers and even though [name_f]Elly[/name_f] is a little young to play she enjoys watching [name_m]Mario[/name_m] and the other characters. It was such fun! I think we’re gonna try and have more family game nights in the future 
That’s all for now! Life certainly feels very ‘full’ right now but honestly, everyone is happy 
I know the future might not be so warm and easy, but it is now and that’s enough to celebrate!

why is this so sweet! 
at this point in time she is very into disney, especially the princesses! her favourite is belle right now, like she’s always taking about her!
like nothing exited has gone on over here, like absolutely nothing! baby is still in there snug, & luna is still the most adorable human on the planet. like just the same as last time i updated. we haven’t been doing too much, we’ve been doing like nothing. just a ton of take out & lazy movie nights!
i’m just counting down the second until i can get this baby out! like i hate being pregnant, it’s just hormones & mess! but it’s all worth it for the cute babe you get at the end, i’d do it about a hundred times over for her though!
haha! this is what my life is like at the moment!

@Natureobsessed - i’m thirty four weeks today, & ready to get this out of here. i feel so guilty not being able to play with my daughter the way we used to, but she just liked to cuddle with me most the time now anyway so it’s okay! he’s getting big so quickly, haha you’ll be a grandma in the next few years (days!)
@jinxed_peach - i had lu at seventeen, now five years later i’ll be twenty-two when our second girly decides she want to be born and their dad is the best!
not really too big of an update, everyday kind of seems the same at the moment. filled with playing, eating, dropping lu off at school, peeing & picking her up again. it feels like we’re in a constant cycle, but hey just got to wait out the next month or so until baby girl decides to make her way earth-side.
however, the reason i made this post is we have decided on her name!! everyone baby e will be joining our family is april, any guesses? her initials will be e.m.m (then last name), any faint ideas?
we’ve also been trying to guess what she’ll look like, i have brown hair & brown eyes. my partner has blonde hair & blue, so does lu. i’m hoping she’ll have my hair & his eyes, but we’ll see.
anyway i’ll share a picture of luna, as i feel that’s the best part of my posts!
hope all else is well! 🫶🏻

Hello! Sorry it’s been a little bit!
@Natureobsessed Thanks! Windy’s name is a take on the classic [name_f]Wendy[/name_f], but also more nature-y. I just loved the name [name_f]Rainey[/name_f] and thought [name_f]Windy[/name_f] would go amazing with it.
We found out the gender of the baby yesterday! They were saying that we probably wouldn’t be able to find out for another two weeks, but…
I hope you are all doing amazing!

@Natureobsessed It sure feels like it! But [name_m]Jules[/name_m] has actually still got about three and a half months left before she gets to meet her little one It somehow feels like so soon but not soon enough!
@melia22 [name_m]Ah[/name_m], I’m so happy to hear about a success story like that It’s super easy for me to worry like crazy about [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] being pregnant so young, but I’ll definitely try to remember you and your beautiful family next time I start to get all anxious about her, [name_m]Rome[/name_m], and their baby girl to-be 
I’m so surprised and proud of [name_m]Rome[/name_m] and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] right now! They put together their little nursery corner in their bedroom over the last few weeks and it looks exactly how they were both hoping. Watching them put together the bassinet gave me memories of DH and I putting together Juliette’s crib 
I know I say it in every update but it’s really surreal to see my baby having a baby. Seeing a crib in the same bedroom where I used to tuck her in under her [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid sheets in her Hello [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] pajamas is a very hard to describe experience, it feels like it was just yesterday I was doing all that!
While both of them put a lot of hard work into it, [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] herself was able to get a lot of the finishing touches done, funnily enough in the middle of the night! She was so excited to finally start feeling baby kicks, but now that she is it turns out her little girl has been keeping her up all nightlol! I went through the same thing when I was pregnant with her. As tempting as it is, I haven’t made any ‘karma’ jokes about it since I figure the sleepless nights are more than enough. She’s been taking it pretty well though she called it “More practice for when she’s actually here.”
Much like DH and [name_f]Hen[/name_f] have been spending plenty of time together, I spent the other day with [name_f]Elly[/name_f] as a little mommy and me special treat. Another weird thing about [name_m]Jules[/name_m] being pregnant is coming to terms with the fact that my little baby [name_f]Elly[/name_f], isn’t going to be the baby anymore 
Welcoming [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] was such a delightful surprise, I found out I was pregnant with her well after DH and I thought we were done having babies. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] were 12 and 8 respectively, with both of them well into school, sleeping through the night, and out of diapers I was happy to have it behind me, until I saw the positive test and suddenly felt thrilled to do it all one more time! She was the perfect little addition to our family and certainly all of our little princess. I know we all say it, but I truly believe she was the sweetest and cutest little newborn. [name_m]Jules[/name_m] was so adorable with her baby sister! She and her little girl are going to be so sweet together I just know it 
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] has been his usually helpful self lately as well. Him and [name_m]Jules[/name_m] have such a special relationship that’s only strengthened during her pregnancy. I was dealing with [name_f]Elly[/name_f] having a bit of a tough morning, at the same time [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] wasn’t feeling too good either. She was laying on the couch feeing really nauseous. I told her I’d bring her some crackers and ginger ale after I had gotten [name_f]Elly[/name_f] settled. By the time I got back she already had both, turns out [name_f]Hen[/name_f] had gotten them for her 
I’m so proud of him for being such a good little brother. I went to thank him on Jules’ behalf and he just shrugged and he just simply said “No biggie.” (Which, sidenote, is a staple phrase of DH’s vocabulary. All those father-son days are paying off lmao) I can’t wait to see how their sibling relationship grows as the both of them grow up. Here’s a throwback pic of them both from a few summers ago!
Oh, before I forget! [name_m]Jules[/name_m] and [name_m]Rome[/name_m] have given me a little hint about the name they’re picking. While they haven’t settled on a first name, they’ve picked out a middle and told me it starts with the letter ‘O’ If anyone has any guesses I’d love to hear them since I’m wracking my brain trying to think of one that seems like they would actually use 
That’s all for now!

my favourite name is olive, so that could be nice? the only other ‘o’ names i can think of are opal & orianna!
i’m also going to mention, that juliette & rome are welcome to join us at lu’s birthday party! i’ll be ugly pregnant or with a newborn so it could be interesting, but it would be nice to meet the whole family! 
@Natureobsessed - any updates from you? he must be so big now! 
i feel really guilty making these updates, as i don’t have many interesting things going on. but for once we had something interesting!! we had another scan!
baby e is super cute (obviously! ) but the best part, she’s super healthy!
we are so exited for them to make their way over into this world, seeing as you guys were chatting about nurseries we’ve also finally finished our little ladies nursery!
saying that lu has been having the greatest time getting ready for her baby sister in an understatement. she is absurdly obsessed! she loves buying all the tiny clothes, she doesn’t believe that she was ever that small!
now that we have a hundred things about her sister, let’s chat luna! 🫶🏻 i’m just confirming @Natureobsessed & @jinxed_peach are still coming?? @BeeEl if you want to come to my daughters fifth birthday your welcome!
lu’s just so cute, like she is the most adorable human being to ever walk the planet!
okay! that’s all for now, i’m thirty four weeks as of now so we will be guaranteed having an announcement in the next six or so weeks!!
anyway, hope all else is well!

@melia22 We would love to come! Although, both girls are sure to argue over what to get… I’ll probably end up letting them each pick out a gift.
@jinxed_peach Elly is so cute, as a newborn and now!
Hello! I hope all of you are doing amazing! We’ve been super busy preparing for my sister-in-law’s wedding! I can’t believe it, she’s 20! She’s always been like my little sister. We’re 4 years apart, so I guess she’s not that little. The twins were flower girls and were absolutely thrilled. They’ve never been in a wedding and in a few years they’ll probably be too old to be flower girls. Alton was not as happy about the wedding. He was with his grandma most of the time since DH and I were in the wedding party and I was having to help the girls. He’s always a bit grumpy when I’m not around, luckily I was able to be with him after the ceremony.
We had a professional photographer out and I’ve only gotten photos of Rainey so far, but she’s barely getting the photos done:
This is one I took of Windy:

@melia22 Yes we would all still love to come! Myself, Elly, Juliette, and Rome will be attending DH and Henry will probably be off on one of their ‘boys days’ lol Probably for the best 
Olive, Opal, and Orianna are all great guesses too! I’ll have to run them by Jules and see how she reacts, I’ll let you know if I deduce anymore clues 
@oakbelle Tully is so adorable! Welcome both of you! To reintroduce myself and my family, my name is Mia. I have three kiddos, Juliette Clare who’s sixteen and currently just about twenty-six weeks pregnant with her and her first child My middle kiddo is Henry Brahm who’s eleven and my sensitive sweetheart My youngest and surprise arrival is Freya Elenore who’s four. Although as you all may have noticed we’ve mostly been calling her by her middle name, Elenore, or just ’ Elly ’ as of late. She still responds to her first name from time to time but she’s just been expressing that she prefers her middle right now. Thankfully DH and I both love her middle as much as we love her first so we’ve been going with the flow for however long it lasts please enjoy the offical canon explanation of me actually irl forgetting my fake daughter’s name order lmao i had her in my head as Elenore Freya not the other way around!! 
I think all our girls will get along great despite the slight age differences, funnily enough Elly adores Belle too! Although she technically gets the spot of ‘second fave Disney princess’ to her. Jasmine is her ‘favorite favorite’ as she likes to say lol but it’s a very close ranking.

ahhh! i can’t believe what i just did, we booked tickets for disney for two days! on the 10th & 11th of march! we’re in the uk, so this is going to be expensive. but lu has been begging to go, & i want to make sure she’s okay as a big sister and enjoys her last days as an only child! 
@oakbelle any baby yet? i’m currently 35 weeks, i feel i’m literally going to pop!
we finally gave in to my families begging of sharing the gender, so we share the news we’ve already told all of you! it’s a girl!

Ohhh that’s so exciting! I know [name_f]Lu[/name_f] is going to love it! I’ll be wishing you lots of luck for going while pregnant though. It’ll be tough but you’ll still have lots of fun 
I speak from experience, we took a family trip when I was pregnant with [name_f]Elly[/name_f]. I was so worried about them feeling displaced by a new baby so I wanted to make some special memories with them as a family of four and we had a blast! We even got a special ‘we’re celebrating’ button at guest services 
I wasn’t quite as far along as you though, I was twenty-five weeks, not thirty-five so I don’t have as much advice there. I’m sure Lu’s gonna love meeting all the princesses

hey everyone!
after a quick delivery at 38 weeks, i would love to introduce you all to the newest member of our family…
knox harrison james 
we chose knox because we love how strong it is. i love names ending in ‘X’ like knox, fox, tex, max and in the end it came down to knox and fox and we ultimately decided on knox! harrison is for harvey’s dad and james is for my dad. we weren’t sure if we would give him two middles like tully but i didn’t want to not use both incase we never have another boy!
tully has been amazing her birthday is in a few days and keeps saying how happy she is that baby knoxy is here for her birthday! she is so obsessed with him and has been the best little helper since we came home yesterday afternoon.
thats all from us! i can’t believe i have two babies and that one of them is two in a few days!
@melia22 how are you?! getting close! so exciting that lu will get a little sister
@jinxed_peach thank you for the welcome! sorry i didn’t reply sooner your kids sound gorgeous - congrats to juliette, and to you and the rest of of your family! i love all of their names, so sweet! haha so funny there is another Belle fan! i must say, i did love her when I was tully’s age! i’m sure they would all get along too, and even baby and knox won’t be too different in age!
