Baby J #2’s Maternity

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles posts her waterfall and forest maternity photography session wearing a Reclamation lace dress.

Happy Thursday loves! It has been a busy week trying to come back to reality and having lots of appointments this week! I cannot believe it’s already almost the weekend! We had the most amazing vacation in North Carolina last week! Something about being in the mountains is so relaxing and the weather was ah-mazing! It was cool enough we had to wear jackets in the morning and it was such a nice change for this super hot Florida weather! This pregnant mama did not want to leave the cool weather! While we were on vacation we decided to take advantage of the gorgeous scenery and snap some maternity pictures! We woke up early one day and headed to the gorgeous Looking Glass Falls! I rented this to die for Reclamation dress which went perfect with the dreamy background! We were lucky to have the waterfall to ourselves before it got busy and Sawyer even cooperated for some for photos (after being promised a donut of course haha!) I cannot believe in just over two months well be a family of 4! We can’t wait to meet you Baby J #2! <3

Happy Thursday ya’ll! I hope everyone had a great week so far! It is almost the weekend and I cannot wait for our vacation away next week! We are headed to North Carolina and this pregnant girl can’t wait for some cooler mountain air! This heat has been rough lately! This weekend we took the kids to the science center here in town and I wore this adorable Leopard maternity jumpsuit. It is so comfy and I love that it can be dressed up or down! I paired it with some flat studded sandals to keep it nice and laid back and then threw on a sun hat to complete the look. I hope you all have a wonder weekend and week next week! I will be taking a break to enjoy time with family, but be sure to follow along our NC adventures on my IG stories @upbeatsoles! <3

Buttons

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It went by way too fast for us! I am just counting down the next 2 weeks since we are going on a family vacation to the mountains in NC and I am so ready to escape this heat! When it comes to maternity clothes I don’t like to spend a ton of money since I know I wont be wearing them long so I got a bunch of cute super inexpensive items from Shein. Like this adorable mustard dress for under $20! The tie waist is perfect for the bump! I paired the dress with some casual studded sandals and threw on a brown hat to add a little boho feel to the look. I finished the outfit with some layered necklaces. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead! <3

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our’s was pretty laid back which was much needed! We got a lot of decluttering done to make space for new baby! We are actually going to be converting my amazing closet room into the new nursery (I’m pretty sad but we are hoping to upsize to a new house soon so hopefully it will be temporary haha!) So be on the look out for a nursery reveal in the coming months! It has been SO hot these past few weeks so I have been all about the sun dresses! This Free People embroidered and lace one is soooo good! It is non maternity but fits the growing bump perfect! I paired it with my favorite metallic espadrilles to dress it up a little and threw on my favorite layered necklaces. I hope you all have a great start to your week! <3

Happy Thursday babes! I hope you all had a wonderful week so far! I cannot believe it’s almost the weekend already! I love short weeks! We snuck away to Miami for a little getaway for the 4th and it was so much fun! Griffin’s brother works at a big resort down there and it was fun getting to relax by the pool and visit! They also had a huge fireworks display that Sawyer got to watch for the first time and LOVED it! So I am officially 25 weeks today and this bump is getting HUGE haha! I don’t know how I am going to go another 3.5 months! I am definitely feeling super pregnant already which is crazy to me since I felt great up until delivery with Sawyer! It is crazy how different pregnancies can be! I wore this dress last weekend and it is so dreamy! I love the blush pink and peach combo and how flowy it is! I paired it with my favorite espadrille sandals and finished the look with some layered necklaces. I hope you all have a great weekend! <3

Baby J #2 Is a…

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does a gender reveal photoshoot with balloons and Chicwish flowy dress and Electric Picks necklaces

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Sorry to keep you all hanging for so long about Baby J #2’s gender, but it finally feels good to let everyone know we are having another sweet BOY! I always knew I was destined to be a boy mom and I am so excited for Sawyer to have a built in best friend! We have actually known we are having another boy since around 12 weeks and had a mini gender reveal with family but the pictures all came out really blurry when we did the balloon pop. Then life happened on doing a redo shoot and I decided to just wait to get double confirmation from the ultrasound and he wasn’t shy showing us he was all boy haha! We actually decided on a name already too, which is crazy we found one so quick since boy names are SO HARD to me! The name was actually not even on our list with Sawyer either but I have always loved the name! Griffin thought of a middle name to go with it and we both just thought hearing the two names together were perfect! We won’t be announcing it until he’s born (just in case we have a last minute change haha) but we can’t wait for everyone to hear it! We are over the moon to add another sweet baby boy to our family!! I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3
