Hey friends!

If you’ve been following along with my social media accounts, you already know our big news (!!!) and if not, here it is! Another Baby Greene coming February 2019!

Life lately has been so sweet. Moving back to Georgia has been such a happy time for us, especially being closer to our family & friends again, and we’re just so thankful that the Lord led us back here. And really, the Atlanta area is just so awesome. There’s no other place I’d rather call home. (Maybe soon I’ll do a post on our favorite things to do in Atlanta– Date night ideas, anyone?)

Ella has had a busy schedule between ballet, once-a-week “school,” and swim lessons, and Philip has been adjusting to the corporate world as a Senior Financial Analyst at Home Depot Store Support.

I am SOOOO thankful that the timing of our pregnancy worked out to where my “off season” for weddings was during my first trimester, where my energy was basically nonexistent. I recently woke up one morning wanting to clean the whole house (which is NOT normal for me), and finally felt like I could do more than just daydream about napping all day (because let’s be real- naps are impossible when you have a toddler to chase around.)

Some fun facts I recently shared on my Instagram are:

• I found out on my birthday I was pregnant! (Best gift EVER!)
• Every time we ask Ella if she wants another baby, she very emphatically says “NO!”
• We have a boy name picked out but a girl name is still up for debate.
• We are not the kind of people who want to be surprised about the gender. We’ll be finding out at our 20 week appointment.
• I never felt so unproductive in my life as I did in my first trimester. 
• My belly showed up a LOT earlier this time around.

Starting in September, I’ll have eight weddings up until mid-December, and then I’ll be taking a break until June 2019 to have my baby and spend uninterrupted time with him or her (& Philip and Ella, of course.) I’m sure by the time June rolls around, I’ll be so antsy to start working again, but I’m excited and thankful to have the flexibility to take it easy for a few months.

I recently polled my Instagram to see if my followers wanted more personal blog posts, and most said yes! So you can be on the lookout for more life updates, personal photos, and maybe even some educational posts soon!

And here are some photos that Cally Greene Photography recently took for our fourth anniversary and our baby announcement (because they’re too cute not to share more!):
