WWJD?!

Sometimes when I'm feeling overwhelmed with this process of becoming a mom and everything I have to look forward too and be prepared for... I think to myself: WWJD?!

What Would JADE Do?

Jade and I have been friends for about five years now and our friendship has grown in so many ways. We worked together for Dr. Ciaravino before she became a stay at home mom and she is also my amazing photography assistant when I have to shoot weddings. Basically, I cant live without her. 

She is someone I have always looked up too. She is the epitome of "Super Mom". Jade has 2 sweet little girls, Audrina and Brielle. Audrina has recently been diagnosed with Autism and seeing how strong Jade has been in her ongoing  research and therapy has made me realize the job of a mommy is never done! (not to mention the help of her amazing hubby JASON)... cant forget him!

I wont go into details about Audrina's Autism because it's still a little confusing to me, but she handles it all with grace and patience. So admirable! 

So as the weeks are passing and I have yet to buy or prepare anything for my child.. I call up Momma Jade and we head to register at Buy Buy Baby and Tarrrr-J ! Talk about OVER -WHELM- ING!!!! 

First time mommies, Do Not.. I repeat DO NOT try and do this alone. There are SO many different nick nacks to choose from. Some you need some you don't.. Jade was SO helpful not only cause shes done this a time or two but because she knows ME! As I was looking at the super sleek, modern looking three wheeled baby stroller that costs $800 she directed me to the less expensive "more practical" 3 in 1 one!

 I did however ding the black leather high chair! (Yall it was super cool and unlike anything I've seen! something a rock star's kid would be eating from)! 

Also, as you can see in the pic.. I found and fell IN LOVE with this back brace thing that holds my belly up! Sure I look like I work at Home Depot, but it's like heaven! I didn't even care that I wasn't hiding it under my dress! Needless to say I bought it and highly HIGHLY recommend it! You'll THANK ME later! Just do yourself a fav and GET ONE!

Later that weekend Ty and I had his End of the Competition Season Banquet for his gymnasts! They were all SO cute and dressed up with lip gloss and curled hair. Soo different to see them done up like little women when normally all you see is a messy high pony, leotards, and chalk covering their face!
