@oakbelle CONGRATS!
@melia22 Oh that’s such a pretty name! [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you aren’t using it 
I’m so curious as to what you did pick, I’ll be eagerly waiting for the real reveal and sending you lots of good vibes for your upcoming delivery 
Keep us posted on your Disneyland trip as well! Like I said I just know you’re all gonna have a great time!
Speaking of family time, DH and I took all four kiddos out to the aquarium the other day! Being such a water baby as she is, [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] was so thrilled to be there and see all the fish and animals. Back when they first started dating she and [name_m]Rome[/name_m] used to go to the aquarium all the time so it was extra special for them but we al had a great time. [name_f]Elly[/name_f] is in a bit of a mermaid phase at the moment so she absolutely enchanted by everything. Being as little as she is she had a bit of trouble seeing some of the viewing windows, but [name_m]Rome[/name_m] is such a sweetheart he was always there to pick her up and help her see. I got the sweetest photo of one of the many, many times it happened 
[name_m]Rome[/name_m] really has the purest heart, he’s such a good kid. I’m so thankful that my daughter has such a dedicated boyfriend at her side. He’s gonna be such a good father I know it. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] was getting a little bit misty eyed seeing how good he was today with [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] thinking about how he’s gonna be with their own baby girl 
[name_m]Rome[/name_m] has always been great with [name_f]Elly[/name_f], but today just ‘hit different’ as [name_m]Jules[/name_m] said lmao Whatever that means. [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] also adored the penguins, we practically had to pry her away from the exhibit!
We of course had to stop at the gift shop on the way out. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] picked out a super cool book about deep sea life, [name_f]Elly[/name_f] chose a seashell necklace, and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and [name_m]Rome[/name_m] got a stuffed animal for their little one. They were teasing me and saying they were gonna get this HUGE whale stuffed animal.
But they settled on this cuddly sea turtle instead. Which, after a long deliberation on the car ride home amongst all the kids, has been christened as [name_f]Shelley[/name_f] 
Before I sign off for this update I figured I’d include a quick bumpdate from [name_m]Jules[/name_m]. I can’t believe she’s showing as much as she is! I feel like when I was pregnant with her I didn’t really start to ‘look’ pregnant until I was almost thirty weeks. It’s so interesting how everybody is different. She’s been having such a smooth pregnancy as well which I’m so grateful for, and I know she is too 
Certain things haven’t been super easy for her, mainly some of the kids at school have been running their mouths again 
Although it was pretty common knowledge amongst her peers that she’s pregnant, I think it was easy for her fly under the radar when she wasn’t super visibly pregnant but now it’s obviously pretty hard to miss so the nasty things have been flying around the halls again 
She’s very good at just ignoring it all and not letting it get to her, but as her mother it’s near impossible for me not to get a bit offended on her behalf. I’ve spoken to administration and they’ve been good at making sure she doesn’t face any harassment from staff, but there’s not much they can do about the students. At least I know she can come home from all that nonsense and receive the support and kindness she deserves at home

@melia22 lu is too cute! and elia matilda mae is stunning! hmm… my guess is gaia!
@Natureobsessed thank you!!!
@jinxed_peach im so glad jules is having a smooth pregnancy, that is all you can hope for! i’m sorry that some of the kids have been talking about her, she seems so brave and strong, good on her 
in other news…
tully turned two!
i snapped this adorable photo of her and knox earlier today
we just had some family over as it had been crazy with the new baby, but it was so sweet. we went down for a morning swim and surf this morning and then came back home for lunch with our whole family. tully loves playing with her cousin lettie who a month older than her. they have the cutest bond and i can’t wait to see them grow up together!
looking back on all these photos, i am so amazed by tully’s hair! it is super long for someone who has literally just turned two and it’s so crazy that she was born with as much as she was! tully has grown into the most gorgoues, sassy and sweetest little girl and she has been the best big sister in knox’s week of life!
hope you all had the best day!

I hope it’s okay to be on this side as well (I want good things that are plot relevant lol)

we are home!!! 🫶🏻 to be honest at this point i’m glad to just relax & pop this baby out. i’m so done being pregnant, like girl…do you want to come out…ever.
lu had an amazing time at disney!
anyway, we’re finally home! last night when we got back, luna asked if she could stay with aunty elle & her cousin last night as she wanted to see her cousin charlie! well she had a whale of a time, & so did my partner & i!
i’m getting so impatient, i think we’ve got a max of fix more posts before a baby announcement. as this girl is coming soon, we’ve been making guesses for when she’s going to come. i think she’ll come on the fifth of april, my partner thinks the seventh, lu thinks the second but we’ll see! 
anyway, anything else of interest?
i haven’t seen much action over here, so i hope nobody minds a few tags!
@smileymiley how are your girls? any school drama or updates?
@SparkleNinja18 how has quest gotten along in the time since we last had an update?
@jinxed_peach - any updates with juliette? we’re going to have baby girls pretty close in age (we’re also pretty close in age, only like five years ) what month is she due?
@oakbelle - how’s tully and knox getting along? still got as strong a bond as ever?
3 Likes
@melia22 I keep forgetting how close in age you and [name_m]Jules[/name_m] are! It’s actually really nice though considering all her older cousins are all boys, I hope you don’t mind if she definitely thinks of you as a bit of a ‘cool older sudo-cousin’ 
She probably follows your blog along as closely as I do! To answer your question as well, she’s due in [name_f]May[/name_f] 
I actually didn’t realize you close in age your two girls will be but that’s so awesome that they will!
Things with the little one have still been pretty smooth, although she’s still quite the active girl. [name_f]Elenore[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] were snuggled up on the couch watching a movie last night and [name_f]Elly[/name_f] felt the baby kick for the first time, I think she was somewhere between curious and unsettled lol. I swear [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is more radiant than I ever was while pregnant. She’s always been photogenic but motherhood really does look good on her, much earlier than I would’ve ever guessed but I’m just glad she’s having a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Things have been pretty relaxed over in my household lately. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] broke one of the straps on his backpack recently though. A version of myself from a little while ago might have just asked him to deal with it since we’re so close to spring break, but with all that’s been going on and just how unpredictable life is I figured, screw it, let’s get him the new backpack Since he adores [name_f]Marvel[/name_f] (And Spider-Man in particular) We picked out a plain backpack and a bunch of appliques to put on it. It was so much fun having that time with him while we put it together and he was so excited about it! I think it came out great!
It wasn’t just me and [name_f]Hen[/name_f] who have been crafting lately though, [name_m]Jules[/name_m] put her crochet skills to use again and made a blanket and little teddy for her baby girl. It came out so cute and I just love how [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] loves the fiber arts as much as I do.
It’s amazing how much support [name_m]Jules[/name_m] and Rome’s baby-to-be is already She’s not even here yet and is already so loved by her villiage

@melia22 Oh my goodness! Disney?! How fun!
@oakbelle Congratulations! [name_m]Knox[/name_m] is adorable!
Hello! Sorry it’s been a bit. We’ve been on spring break this past week and stayed mostly in town. We were thinking about traveling, but it ended up being easier to plan some fun things around here. I’m 16 weeks at this point and we’re still struggling with names for little sis. If y’all have any ideas please let me know! We’re debating on doing a sort of nature theme like the twins, [name_f]Rainey[/name_f] and [name_f]Windy[/name_f], but I also really like the idea of more historical/classic and unique names. We’re struggling.

hey guys! its a been a hot minute!
@melia22 they have the cutest little bond! its still growing everyday. tully just wants to show knox everything. yesterday we went on a little walk, just me and her and she picked a leaf bouquet for knox - so cute! how is your pregnancy going?!
@BeeEl thank you!
how is everyone else? things are pretty good round here. knox is a month old tomorrow. time just flies and i feel like it has gone even quicker with baby #2! t is back to the usual schedule of going to kindy every tuesday and thursday so it is always nice to have my one on one time with knox. he has been pretty good recently at night, only waking up about every four hours which is amazing! tully was waking up a lot more at this point! yesterday we went to visit my sister. they are renovating so we were took my niece freja out for a few hours. tully didn’t want to leave as she suddenly became obsessed with duke their greyhound. safe to say that all we have heard from her for the last twenty four hours is ‘puppy!’
knox is going great! his hair is already a lot finer and blonder than tullys! he is the snuggliest little chub ever. so precious
hope everyone has a good rest of the week!

@oakbelle - i’m literally counting down the days until this baby is out, i’m 36 weeks right now.
@jinxed_peach - how’s everything your end?
we went to the beach the other day, lu had such an amazing time. i simply adore spending time with her, even if i do hurt with how pregnant i am.
luna’s school ends tomorrow and she’s exiting for holidays. she is so thrilled for her birthday as well.
it’s my twenty-second soon, and my partner’s twenty-fourth. however after being together eight years we have the greatest news that we’ve had since announcing baby g!
we’re getting married! we’re trying to get our wedding in for may/june, however that’s super ambitious. it’s just because they are my favourite months of the year!
hope all else is well!!

@melia22 Congratulations! Crossing my fingers that you’ll be able to fit it in [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]June[/name_f]! 
@oakbelle [name_m]Tully[/name_m] seems to adore [name_m]Knox[/name_m]! Such a sweet bond!
Hello! How is everyone? I think we’re getting close to picking a name! Luckily we still have a while to officially decide, I’m 17 weeks.
This week was mostly getting back into the swing of things after spring break, unfortunately, after starting off the week well, we were hit with sickness. The twins caught it from school and the rest of us came down with it. Luckily DH and I have been sick at different points, so at least one parent has been healthy. We’re all starting to completely recover and hopefully next week will be sickness free!
On a walk
We’ve been loving the weather recently and since we’ve been sick, fresh air has been important! Recently, we found some amazing walking trails near this stunning picturesque field! I’ve been trying to keep the kids from going too far away, especially since I would rather skip the snakes, but [name_m]Alton[/name_m] managed to get a bit further than I would have liked. 
[name_f]Rainey[/name_f] running along the trail
[name_f]Windy[/name_f] ready to get walking again (This girl gets bored way too fast )
[name_m]Alton[/name_m] using his ninja skills to get a bit farther away…
How’s the weather for y’all? We’re trying to soak up the last of the cool days before we get our triple digit weather 
(F). Convincing children to get outside isn’t hard right now, but [name_f]Summer[/name_f] sure will make it hard!

things has been crazy around here!
my sweet niece has joined us over here in our crazy home. missy is two and a half and has come into our home after my older brother has been declared an unfit parent due to addiction. so we’ve taken our girly in until her dad is ready.
i’m exited for you all too meet our gorgeous girly skye mae. it’s nuts too say i live with my two baby girls and i’m pregnant with my third, i’m only twenty-one years old.
we had our daisy picture maternity picture! i love daisies, it’s the theme of lu’s birthday party as well as her room. i’m so exited too meet baby girl within the next few weeks, this quite possibly could be my last post before she is here.
@jinxed_peach is jules free tomorrow? i’m bored and want company elly is also welcome round here, i know lu would be super exited to have her round! i also think seeing jules would be good for me, i think i need to see someone round my age pregnant. i feel i’m going into a depressive spiral at the moment due too stress. seeing her would be great, only if she’s free though. 🫶🏻
@BeeEl ypu’ve got some beautiful babies there, just a gorgeous batch of blonde hair babies. looks like my little family. your children look so happy on their walk, lu hates walks !
@oakbelle you free tomorrow? i think skye would love to meet tully, they are both two and skye is such a sweet sassy love that i think would get on lovely with tulls. i also think both the girls would have a blast!

Don’t mind me just replying and not making any sort of post. 
@melia22 [name_f]Skye[/name_f] is adorable! I love Lu’s hair with the daisies. To be honest my kiddos don’t adore walks unless the weather is good. (Plus they’ve been bouncing off the walls all week)

@melia22 oh wow, skye is adorable! is lu excited for baby? i love daisies too - this photo is just gorgeous! we are around tomorrow. i am sure tulls would be very excited meet skye! what were you thinking?
just going to make this short…
not much going on here! tulls has become really close with her friend nell. they met at preschool a while ago, but we have been seeing them a lot more and they are little besties! nell has an older brother named wilbur ‘will’ and her mum, lily, is having another little one in a few weeks!
knoxy is going well! he is so sweet and tulls has still been as helpful as ever! i dont have many photos of them recently since tully has been at preschool a few more days a week but here is one from the other day.
hope everyone is having a nice week!

i just want kids at the house! 🫶🏻
saying she’s exited would be an understatement she’s extatic! she’s spent 3 years asking for a baby sister!
@melia22 I feel exactly the same way! They are all growing up too fast! And [name_f]Skye[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is such a gorgeous name, congratulations!! Three little girls is going to be so fun.
@BeeEl Your kiddos are adorable!
@oakbelle [name_m]Knox[/name_m] is the cutest little guy, congratulations!
It has been FOREVER since I posted!! I miss you all so much! Took a little social media break - so here’s a big update to make up for all the birthdays I didn’t post!
He is the most fun, easy-going kid I can imagine. He never seems to worry about anything - I guess he takes after his dad! He goes with the flow and isn’t bothered by changing plans, bad weather, or even his little siblings’ mood swings! He still loves surfing and is getting really good at it. He keeps asking for a short board so we might have to put that on the birthday list for next year!
[name_m]Gus[/name_m] is such a sweetheart. He is a really kind, generous little guy and always tries to help others out. He’s great with his younger siblings. He is usually pretty quiet and is happy to sit by himself and look at picture books. He does sometimes get a little worked up and can be hard to calm down when he’s emotional, but in general he’s also a great, easy kid!
Since I didn't post for so long you guys missed a lot of Sadie's babyhood, so here's her at 10 months, 1 year, and 18 months!
Yes I am incredibly emotional about how fast she’s growing up. She is a very quiet, sweet little one. She loves fruit of all kinds (I swear I spend $50 a week on berries alone) and is terrified of loud noises and dogs. She’s never had a bad experience with a dog, but she doesn’t like how big and loud and unpredictable they tend to be. She LOVES cats, our neighbor has an indoor-outdoor cat that she likes to gently pet!

The other kids LOVE him and have been so helpful. [name_m]Gus[/name_m] is especially attentive to the baby. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] took a bit to warm up to him but now likes to cuddle him and “help.” Bash is a very cuddly baby and I am soaking up all these new-baby moments!
It’s been lovely to see and hear from you all again! Have an amazing [name_f]Easter[/name_f] for those who celebrate, and I hope everyone has a lovely spring. I promise the next update will come sooner than this one!
