Today I announced on two social media sites that Jamie and I are expecting a little girl. Now that might not sound terrible but in the grand scheme of things, for me, it was slightly terrifying! Jamie and I have been trying to have a baby for almost a year now. Some points more serious than others. We have had two miscarriages one being at the beginning of this pregnancy. It was a miracle! I thought I had lost another and almost two weeks after that happening I still felt very pregnant. Smells were crazy intense, different foods made me feel weird and the at home test still said “positive”. I scheduled an appointment just to be certain whether I was or wasn’t going to have a baby. The appointment was life changing. They took an ultrasound and discovered that I, in fact, still was pregnant. I had started out with twins and lost one. Where some might find that saddening all I could see and feel was the miracle that we still had a baby. From that point on I was in a “high risk” zone of losing the healthy baby until I got out of my first trimester. Gosh was that a long trimester(not really but it felt long)! As time went on, we did nothing but hope and pray for the best. I tried to stay off my feet(but if you know me, you know thats one of the HARDEST things for me to do), eating extremely healthy and just wait. Once in my second trimester I was cleaned to increase(slightly) my activity that all looked well. We were feeling good about our future as parents. From the very beginning I have felt better being pregnant then not being pregnant. I had a little morning sickness but nothing that stopped my day.

We found out last week that we are having a little girl. I really commend people who wait until the baby is born to find out the gender. I dont have that kind of will power! I will say I was secretly(or not so secretly) hoping to have a girl. I kind of wanted to be like my mom and dad, first we have a girl and then we have a boy. Not sure why I feel that way and that way may never be? but for now my obsession of buying the cutest little girl clothes is happening!

When I had the ultrasound to find out the gender they also took a good look at me and all my parts to make sure everything looks good. We were a little alarmed to find out that my cervix are a good bit shorter than they should be at 21 weeks. What does that mean(thats what I asked)? it means that we are now in a “high risk” of going into preterm labor. After much research and reading we are feeling good about my health and the babies health. We will be visiting our doctor every week to measure my cervix and make sure all looks good.

Today on another persons instagram I read the saying “the best is yet to come”, it was exactly how I was feeling and with that I decided to tell the social media world our big news. We are both so excited! I cant wait to start a family(human family) with Jamie. He is going to be the best father, much like my own.

Thank you all for listening and we love you!

The Vitt’s

Our life on the west coast has brought us so much joy. Both Jamie and I are both hard at work (sometimes that’s seems like all we do) and trying to spend days off with friends or out in beautiful places is most important to us. California has a lot of that! We are fortunate to live in an area where we don’t have to go far to get out in nature.
As of recent Jamie has started his own company, Parlor (weareparlor.com). In short it’s a creative video agency. It was scary to think of my husband starting his own business but it’s been (and I expected nothing less) the best move for him. The company has had great success!
I am currently assistant manager at
one of Oakland’s finest restaurants, Boot & Shoe Service. Funny name, I know. It’s a historic building in which my owner didn’t want to take the sign down. I feel extremely fortunate to work for such a great place! As of recent I have been dabbling in floral as well. Very on the side and 100% influenced by my mom.
Here’s a few pictures from our life. Love you all and hope everyone is well!!!

It’s been a while since we last posted anything! I am going to try and do this more. REALLY!! so today I am researching how and where you put your blog information. Bloglovin seem to be a fun site for people to find you and for me to find other cool blogs. More to come soon…………………….

These are what we like to call “Wedding Photo Selects“

Lost in your excitement and joy in anticipation of our wedding it maybe easy to forget the possibly footwear challenging location you are about to step in to. So, we took a moment to make a little jingle that you can sing to yourself during your primping fury in hopes to gently remind you not to leave the house without the appropriate footwear. Uneven ground, soft dirt, wet grass, and gofer holes are only a few of the reason woman and especially men should NOT wear high heels. Do yourself a favor and wear cool shoes, this video is chock full of ’em.

This seemingly simple task of inviting people to our wedding turned out to be a very challenging and epic accomplishment that deserved a formal “Invitation Documentation.”
