Outside vs Inside

Even though today is cloudy, rainy, cold, and stormy, it's a great day here at the Casa de Coghill. Why you may ask? Well, I'll tell you...

First of all, Jillian and I had a great time at the mall with Miss Addi Claire and her mama Ashley yesterday! I didn't get any pictures of Jillian's first mall excursion, but we walked around and even found an Easter dress for Jillian. Despite a poop explosion at the end which caused a huge mess in the back of the Jeep, (thank goodness for non-cloth seats!), we had lots of fun.

Second, Phil got his full time offer for a job! I won't get into any big details, but it's a local start-up company and we're very excited for this opportunity! It does mean we're staying in town for several more years which is not what we original planned to do when we were first married. However, I think it suits us for now and we just need to focus on getting Phil done with grad school. His defense date is set for April 2nd, so it'll be here before we know it.

Third, Jillian's pregnancy book came in yesterday! What is that? Well, it's a little thing I've been working on since the beginning of January on Shutterfly. I had two different coupon codes for Shutterfly and I've heard great things about it before. I decided to put all my belly pictures to use and made this for Jillian. I spent hours on this and I'm SO thrilled with how it turned out! I really hope Jillian loves this. I hope to make one for any future children we may be blessed with. Here are some highlights!

I hope y'all are having a great Thursday no matter what it looks like outside :)

    1. Thanks :) I didn't take any until week 12, but it was only because I was already chunky. I bet your pictures will look much better! Also, those things are so long, but I love them!

But I Know What It Feels Like

This post is going to be awfully vulnerable and hard for me, but I really want to finally say it out loud. I got permission for my daughter ...
