First Comes Love, Then Comes.... Baby?

Well if the cat is not out the bag…  Here goes nothing…

Remember I said everything I do is never “routine”? Welp, In the middle of planning a wedding of a lifetime, Chris and I found out we were expecting! Our little bundle of joy would make their debut in November 2018. Marriage and Baby Carriage!

Now that reality has hit that I was pregnant, I wasn’t sure how I felt about anything. I had no idea how to accept the fact that I was going to become a mother. My whole life had changed, literally overnight.  Can I handle the stress of wedding planning and starting a family? Should we postpone the wedding? Should we move the wedding up? Kinda impossible to do with a destination wedding. However, God doesn’t give you more than you can handle, WE GOT THIS!

So, we decided to keep our original wedding date… with a plus one.

Being pregnant, while finalizing vendors, sending out save the dates, finalizing our guests lists, choosing colors, and doing bride-to-be stuff was rough. Somehow I got through it, without 95% of my friends and family knowing I was expecting. We weren’t letting people know because of how difficult pregnancy has been for us.  We entered the safe zone and decided to have an intimate gender reveal with just Chris and I, my sister and our mothers.

It’s a BOY!!!!!!!

I’m having a boy!!!! Chris was ecstatic and I hoped for a girl. After a couple of minutes, I was over wanting a girl and just wanted a healthy baby! We continued to hope for the best and kept Baby Wallace under-wraps. 

 Fast forward to September 2018. Baby Shower time! My mother, sister, and Bridesmaids planned the Baby Shower of a lifetime for Baby Wallace. They invited all of our friends and family, and put on a production!

Too bad Baby Wallace and I didn’t make our debut. My water broke the morning of my baby Shower and I had to attend the shower via facetime (and photoshop lol). I was more focused on Baby Wallace and having a safe delivery, but I did appreciate the facetime and phone calls, texts, visits and tremendous outpour of love.  The love people have for him, was definitely present and we’re so appreciative of everything (we cannot see our floor or sit on our couches)

Fast forward to October 1st, 2018- the day Chris and I lives changed forever. Welcome Carter Christon Wallace.  My precious little boy has arrived! We did it! A lot of people think we’re crazy for having a child and getting married 8 months later, but sometimes, you can re-write the fairytale. Carter is here and will be celebrating with his parents as we say I do. We’re getting married because we want to, not because we need to.

How did Chris handle a new baby and planning a wedding? He’s up next! Stay tuned!
