Greysen's Birth Story
Trevor and I are so excited to announce the birth of our baby boy. Greysen James Lang was born on September 2, 2021. We were induced at the hospital, and while labor and delivery didn’t go as planned, we wound up with a happy healthy baby in the end. I can’t believe that we have been home with our little bundle of joy for over two months now. We are adjusting to life with a newborn really well and can even say we’re getting some sleep. He’s perfect in every way, and we are so in love!

July 2021 Recap -- wrapping up weddings, nesting, and lots of cleaning
Let me first start off this recap blog post by saying that I am exhausted. Getting anything done in these few months has been so hard for me. Now that I am in the third trimester I feel like my body no longer wants to do anything besides rest and nest. July was one of my last productive months. And while the months ahead need to be super productive as well, it’s suddenly become a lot harder.
June 2021 Recap -- diabetes diagnosis, nursery updates, weddings, and more
You know it’s been a busy season when you’re writing the monthly recap half way into the next month. Whew! Time is just flying by. I have so much to tell you about, but honestly never enough time to fill you all in. That makes me think about how I just scheduled a coffee date with a friend, and I LITERALLY had to pick a specific time and put it down on my calendar and pencil her in. Honestly, that’s how it going to be from now on, haha, if you want to chat then you’re going to have to be added to my calendar. Anyways, here’s the update from June!
Diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes | What this means for me and baby?
In case you’ve missed my last couple of pregnancy updates that I’ve shared on our YouTube channel—I’ve recently been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. While I’m finally getting the hang of keeping it under control and managing it now after a few weeks, I want to share my experience so far and all of the details that I know about Gestational Diabetes and how it affects pregnancy.
May 2021 Recap -- baby stuff, lots of weddings, and podcast breaks
Whew! Another month down? Wow, things are flying by. I can’t believe that in 3 short months we will have a newborn. There’s so much to do and so little time. My wedding schedule during the month of May consumed me and felt like it took up all of my time (which weddings typically do). There’s the planning for a wedding, prepping for the big day, working all day on my feet, being exhausted the following day, and then spending the next day catching up before I have to do it all over again. If I were to describe my May that’s what I would tell you it felt like—exhausting.
We're having a boy! | Gender Reveal
Earlier this month we hosted a small get together with family and a few friends at my parents house for a gender reveal party. The plan was to have everyone over for a late lunch/dinner and share the sex of our baby. We chose to do the reveal kind of like we were high school recruits picking a college team. We placed a pink and a blue hat in front of each of us, then after opening the envelope and having our moment together, we then turned to our family and waved our hands over the hats before picking the color that corresponded to the stereotypical blue boy or pink girl. While Trevor and I were ecstatic to know the sex of our baby, we also were just really happy to know that our little one was doing well and appeared happy and healthy.
Pregnancy Update | half way done
I can’t believe that my pregnancy is already over half way through. When I think about baby coming in September I feel like we are forever away, but then when I look at the fact that I am currently (at the time of writing this) 23 weeks pregnant I can’t help but have a mini heart attack and feel super unprepared. That being said, my pregnancy has been wonderful so far, so I can’t complain… but gosh do I wish it would just slow down for a moment.
April 2021 Recap -- branding, weddings, surgery, and more
These months are flying by. I have been fortunate to be very busy during this season of life, but that also means I’m feeling a bit of overwhelm as well. As I keep busy with so many business related things, I find that I am actually doing pretty well with personal related things too. The only item in my life that someone may consider to be falling on the wayside is keeping a tidy home (but I have my whole life for that, right? haha).
March 2021 Recap -- pregnancy, podcasts, and more
Wowwee, March was a heck of a month for us. I didn’t realize how crazy it was until I was sitting down to draft together this blog post and share all of the things that we posted and did in the last month. It’s been a wild one for sure. Some of the big hits were us announcing our pregnancy (obviously), launching a podcast, and diving more into sharing our entire journey online.
