Alright, folks. I scrolled back through my Instagram videos and have compiled a list of my absolute favorite Iris videos (in no particular order). Enjoy!
So, it’ been a while. A LONG while. I’ve been out of the blogging world lately since all of my time is now dedicated to my family, a new job, and of course Instagram. I did want to make a quick post to add a few new videos of Iris though. These were all taken over the past week or so. We’ve been on Christmas vacation, so we’ve had a lot of extra time on our hands. Now if only I could remember to shoot iPhone video horizontally…
Iris says, “HI!”

The disappearing baby:
This is a photo of a girl who is nine months old today.
And this thing here, is a video of some of her very first steps.
She’s taken mini steps here and there,
but today she took her most legit “walk” ever.
She’s still got a ways to go,
but what a big day for my sweet little girl!
So I’ve got 25 out of 40 weeks under my belt. Quite literally.
With the 3rd trimester right around the corner, I feel like we’re finally getting somewhere! This week in particular has been monumental for several reasons…
● As of today, the fourth of July, there are 100 days left until my due date. Typed out that seems like a long time, but time really does seem to be flying by. I’ve never wished a summer away so fast in my life.
● Iris’ nursery furniture has been ordered and should be here in a week or two. We were fortunate to get a ‘lifetime’ set, so it transitions from nursery, to toddler, to teen furniture. Setting that up will mean that we can put everything else in place and turn it into a real baby room.
● We received a few sweet gifts from Jen, including an adorable dress, the tiniest bracelet in the world, and a Medela pump (which I’m sure any nursing, working mama will know this is something to be excited about).
● I went to my last monthly pre-natal visit. From now until the last month I’ll be going about every two weeks. That means we’re getting closer, folks! This past visit was a basic one, but everything looked good – normal blood pressure, measuring right on track, healthy heartbeat, etc. The only thing that stressed me out a bit was the amount of weight I’ve gained in the last four weeks (TEN pounds!). The doctor didn’t seem concerned at all, but considering I’ve got a little over 3 months to go, uh, I’m a bit worried.
● Last but not least, we went to Stork Vision Tulsa to see Iris Adella in 3D/4D! She was being stubborn at first, turning her back towards us and putting her hands in front of her face, but the ultrasound tech was very patient and very sweet. After taking some sips of coke and blasting My Morning Jacket from Todd’s iPhone to my belly (see, I’m a great mother already), she finally woke up and showed us her pretty face. It was incredible to see her move around as I felt her kicks. She waved her tiny fingers and even smiled a couple times. A few of the 80 photos we got are below, plus a video of her fancy hand action. Check her out…
Every time the seasons change
or a holiday sneaks up
(like Mr. Thanksgiving
is trying to do tomorrow)
I get a little homesick.
For my Midtown.
For my Memphis.
It looks like I’m not the only one.
My wonderful momma
misses home too and
she wrote about it in this
sweet little song.
Hope you enjoy it
as much as I do.
If you’re from Memphis,
I know you will.

Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll
and, Memphis, I promise
we’ll both see you soon.
