July 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

My sweet little boy, you will be one next week, yet it feels like you've filled our whole hearts for so much longer. I wish you could understand how you have changed your daddy and I's world. Before you, I was content, I was happy, I didn't feel like you were missing. Your daddy and I had a life full of love and laughter and joy, but I never could have fathomed how the fullness and joy could ...

May 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Okay all you women out there, let's get real for a quick minute. Pregnancy ain't no walk in the park.

OH my goodness, I cannot possibly explain how hard it has been to wait this long to share this news with you guys!! I. Have. Been. Dying. Every single post I've written since the very beginning of November, I've been one spastic keyboard motion away from typing "OH BY THE WAY I'M PREGNANT" and then frantically clicking publish.
