I'm back.....for now

Hello everyone!! I have missed visitng and leaving comments for everyone, but this pregnancy has been rough and at times quite exhausting. I am just about 13 weeks along and the morning sickness (all day sickness) doesn't usually go until about 14-16 weeks, so I am close and looking forward to it. I have currently lost 12 pounds (very normal for me) What I am finding a difficult time with is that this is number four for me and I am not the same age when I started having children...I had my son at 21, my first daughter at 22 and my second daughter at 25. I will be 29 when I deliver this baby and quite frankly, my energy level is just down and I am soooo tired, but the end result will be here before I know it! I opened my Etsy back up and for some reason I can not link up here but it is junafin.etsy.com. I only added a few items for the time being and here are some photos
I also wanted to share some Halloween photos of my babes from last week Xzavier was Bane from The Dark Knight Rises
Lilli was Strawberry Shortcake
Lilah was Minnie Mouse
I miss you all!! One quick question, I am getting antsy to decorate for Christmas, when do you start to decorate, if at all you do? Xo, Ashley

  1. Ashley,
    I know how tired you must be, but your pregnancy sounds very normal with the morning sickness and fatigue. I was 31 when I had my last, and the energe level was much different than when I had my first at 21. Your kids look so cute. They are very close in age, how wonderful. I can't wait to start my Christmas shopping. I usually start the first of November. Get all the rest you need...I will be here waiting for your next wonderful post.

  5. Hi sweet precious friend,
    So sorry your aren't feeling good:(
    I know it isn't easy. I remember it all so well. The good news is your still very young! Be good to you and don't forget your still just a babygirl too! The kids costumes looked adorable! Just got home from Paris, I went into the church and lit a candle at the St. Christopher statue for your Jonny this year again~ I saw him fishing for a moment when I closed my eyes and said a prayer for you and him:)
    Love & miss you!

  6. Won't be long now, you'll have your energy back! Maybe Christmas decorating will be a good distraction. I cannot wait, I sort of have started a little, a friend of mine owns The Empty Nest, and she has made some bottle brush trees (tutorial is in Christmas edition of Romantic Home), I had to have a few of them, they are currently running down the middle of my diningroom table. But the day after Thanksgiving, I start!!! Christmas music playing throughout the house, even have cookies to eat (maybe not for you, if you still feel sick), but enjoy the season!!! donna

  8. I still have a list of names :)
    As for the sweet cage, I was not sure it would be blog worthy or give me enough inspiration to write about, but after I placed it on the French chest of drawers it was then I was so excited to post and share why I fell in love with it.
    I thought if I lived at the beach I could fill it wil shells, starfish and sand dollars, so many ideas run through my head as well.

    Love all you create sweet Ashley, and now that you are feeling better it will leave you to feeling up to creating.

    How about for a boy...
    Finn
    Greyson
    Nolan
    Jack...for a more simple name, but strong and cute.
    Luke

    Olivia
    Natalie
    Harper
    Piper
    Addie
