I feel so pregnant! Weird, right? Lately I’ve been having dreams about and thinking about the earliest memories I have and what life was like for me when my parents first had me. I have the unique opportunity to imagine my parents in a very similar situation since I was their first. It’s like a…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 18 Weeks”
Seventeen weeks has been fun, but I get this feeling like 18 weeks is a big one. Not as big as 20 weeks, of course, but it still feels big. It is also the number I keep looking to as the week when I really should be feeling baby movements. I feel flutters now, but…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 17 Weeks”
This week has felt like a “middle week.” Nothing monumental seems to have changed. Things are changing just a little, I feel a little more legitimately pregnant, lol and my belly and hips are aching in every sort of barbaric way. I don’t want to jinx anything, but I have felt pretty good the last…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 16 Weeks”
This week has been pretty much the same as last week. Dealing with some sickness towards the end of the day and struggling through the fog of baby-brain to try to accomplish at least one thing a day. Even if that one thing is making dinner for my hubby. :) We were able to see…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 15 Weeks”
Here is my progress photo for 14 weeks. I took this at what was basically the last possible moment for 14 weeks. I have put off beginning to document my bump since I still haven’t felt super awesome and because I’m a procrastinator by nature. I wish I had, since I now have no “Pre-Bloat”…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 14 Weeks”

Here is the cover photo I designed to share the big news: And here is a second option I made: And a few photos from the same photoshoot we did together:…Continue Reading “The Big Announcement”
Some of you might remember that this was previously the location of our wedding journey documentation! My website and blogs were recently hacked, and I hadn’t updated this blog in nearly 2 years, so I thought it would be best if I re-purposed it to be a more personal blog where we could document the…Continue Reading “The New Face of Dirt N’ Diamonds”
Yes, world. This means my old blog is a distant memory. One I am trying to let go, but I’m grieving hard. Because my web-server was hacked and I am a failure for not backing up my database, I have lost all my previous posts. I have saved as many pages as I could find…Continue Reading “New Beginnings”
I am in love. It’s no secret that I’m a fuzzy, cheesy, hopeless romantic. I sniffle and weep when I see crinkles at the corner of eyes and imagine it’s all possible because someone loves that person. I swoon when I day-dream of dancing in the rain and twirling in the arms of my prince,…Continue Reading “Everything Makes Sense When You’re With Me”
In an effort to enlighten my audience about the many things that make up… me, I’ve decided it’s about time I explained where the name “silverdoves” came from. It all began when I was dipping my toes into the enchanting possibilities of the world wide web. My daddy, who is one of the most brilliant…Continue Reading “silverdoves: Behind the Name”
