Sweet Baby James- Pregnancy & Birth Story

Image
My last bump pic the day I went into labor at 40 weeks and 4 days!  When Hayden and I got married we had originally decided on waiting about a year before trying to have a baby. But after starting our married life together, we both felt strongly that our baby was waiting for us and ready to come sooner than we thought. We went over our plans for the next year and realized that getting pregnant right away would make for a summer baby, which gave me time to recover before work started back up and time for Hayden to work, before school started again. So we decided to stop the birth control pills and just see what happened. I tracked everything on an app like the calculated nerd I am, just in case we ran into problems, but just one cycle later I took a test and BOOM we were in business. I couldn't believe how blessed we were to get pregnant so quickly!  We found out at exactly 4 weeks gestation, so we decided to keep it just between the two of us for awhile. We even spe...

Our Love Story

This blogpost is sponsored by Tinder.  Okay, I'm kidding. I'm not sponsored by Tinder. Though I should be with how much I talk about finding the love of my life on the extremely controversial and strange dating app! One of my favorite things in the world is when people ask "How did you meet?" and I get to blurt out " TINDER !" and watch their face as they process our strange meeting. The gasps and responses of "NO WAY!" are so entertaining.  So there is the beginning of our story, we found each other on Tinder and luckily we both swiped right! It was December 2016 at one of the strangest and best points in my life. I was at a point where everything was changing. I was really embracing who I was and what I wanted to become. For the first time really in my entire life I loved who I was at that moment. I had worked hard on myself and felt happier than I ever had before. I was just about done with my degree, had just been through the LDS temp...

My Thieme Dream- The transformation of The Cat Lady

Image
Once upon a time I started my blog called "The Cat Lady". I did this because I believed once upon a time I would be single for a long time (aka forever) and I was writing about my life and opinions. Maybe one day I will continue to write there, but this new blog will be about my family, the love of my life, and this new and amazing life I have built. For those of you who didn't read The Cat Lady- let me introduce myself. This is me: September 2nd, 2017 I officially gave up the title of The Cat Lady and became a wife. By and far the best decision I have ever made. Here is the cute boy that finally got me to settle down (but never settle for less than everything I could have ever wanted):  (Excuse my French, but HOT DAMN right?)  Hayden Alexander Thieme swiped right on my tinder profile (yes, not a joke), took me on an extremely awkward first date, then the rest is history! (I will write a love story post one day, promise!) I couldn't have asked for...
