🩷✨ 34 Weeks & Feeling So Thankful ✨🩷

How are we already 34 weeks?! 🥹💕

Every week brings us one step closer to meeting our sweet girl, Raven Jane, and it’s becoming more real with every little kick, every doctor’s appointment, and every item we check off our list.

One of the things that’s made this season even more special is that we’re not experiencing it alone. ❤️

My husband and I get to walk through this journey alongside his brother and his girlfriend, who are also expecting a little one—and they’re due just two weeks after us! Watching our families grow together has been such an incredible blessing, and it’s something I’ll never take for granted.

There’s something so beautiful about knowing Raven Jane is coming into this world with a built-in best friend. 🥹 Whether they’re getting into mischief together as toddlers, celebrating birthdays, making holiday memories, or cheering each other on through life’s milestones, I already know they’re going to share a bond that’s incredibly special.

I can only imagine the family photos, playdates, sleepovers, and all the memories they’ll create together. My heart is so full just thinking about it. 💚

A few fun facts about 34 weeks:
🩷 Raven is about the size of a cantaloupe 🍈
🩷 She weighs around 4¾ to 5 pounds and continues to gain about half a pound each week.
🩷 Her lungs are almost fully developed as she gets ready for her big debut.
🩷 She’s running out of room, so her movements may feel bigger and stronger—even if there are fewer flips and rolls.
🩷 She’s already recognizing familiar voices, and hearing ours every day is helping build a connection before we even meet. 🥹

As we get closer to meeting our little girl, I’m trying to soak in every moment of this chapter. It’s gone by so much faster than I ever imagined, and I know before long, she’ll be in our arms instead of my belly.

💌 Let’s have some fun!
Did you grow up with a cousin who felt more like a sibling? Or do your kids have cousins that are close in age? I’d love to hear your stories—they’re some of my favorite kinds of family memories. 💕

🩷✨ 33 Weeks with Raven Jane ✨🩷

I can’t believe we’re already here… 33 weeks pregnant! 🥹 Every week brings us one step closer to meeting our sweet girl, and this season has been filled with so much excitement, anticipation, and love.

Between serving my amazing clients, getting everything ready for maternity leave, and putting the finishing touches on Raven Jane’s nursery, life has been wonderfully busy. It’s been such a blessing to share this journey with all of you, and I truly appreciate every kind word, check-in, and piece of advice you’ve shared along the way. 💚

Here’s what Miss Raven is up to this week:
🩷 She’s about the size of a pineapple 🍍
🩷 She weighs around 4½ pounds and is close to 17 inches long
🩷 About 90% of her brain development will happen before she’s five years old, and she’s already building millions of neural connections every day.
🩷 Her lungs are continuing to mature as she practices breathing movements to prepare for life outside the womb.
🩷 She’s sleeping more, but don’t let that fool you—she still has plenty of stretches, kicks, and little hiccups to remind me she’s in there! 🥹

As excited as I am to meet her, I’m also trying to soak in these last few weeks behind the chair. There is something so special about celebrating this chapter with all of you before I step into my biggest role yet—being Raven Jane’s mom. 🩷

🤍 32 Weeks & Counting! 🤍

We’re officially 32 weeks along, which means we’re getting so close to meeting our sweet little girl! 💕

I also wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of my incredible clients. You all have been keeping me so busy lately, and I honestly couldn’t be more thankful. Every appointment, every referral, every review, and every conversation reminds me just how lucky I am to do what I love.

As we get closer to maternity leave, my schedule is filling up quickly, and it’s all because of your continued support. You’re not only supporting my small business, but you’re also helping me prepare for one of the biggest chapters of my life—becoming a mom. I truly appreciate every single one of you. 🩵

✨ 32 Week Baby Update:
👶 Baby girl is about the size of a squash (or a large jicama!).
⚖️ She weighs around 3½–4 pounds and is about 16½–17 inches long.
🧠 Her brain is developing rapidly, creating millions of new connections every day.
💅 Her fingernails and toenails are fully formed.
🫁 Her lungs are in the final stages of development as she practices “breathing” movements.
💤 She sleeps in cycles now, so I definitely notice when she’s awake and ready to practice her little kicks! 💕

Only about 8 weeks to go, and we are getting more excited every single day! Thank you all for following along on this journey with me and for making this season of life so special.

If you’re wanting to get your hair done before I take maternity leave, now is the perfect time to get on my books! ✂️🤍

💙 To every single client who has taken the time to leave a review… thank you. 💙

Reading your kind words means more to me than you know. Every haircut, color, style, and conversation in my chair is an opportunity to make someone feel seen, comfortable, and confident.

When I receive reviews like this, it reminds me why I love what I do. Knowing that I helped someone feel safe, cared for, and happy with their experience is the greatest compliment I could ever receive.

Whether you’ve trusted me with your child’s first haircut, your dream hair transformation, or simply your regular maintenance appointments, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your story.

Your support, recommendations, and reviews help my small business grow more than you realize. If you’ve ever sat in my chair and loved your experience, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d leave a review. It truly makes my day and helps others feel confident choosing me as their stylist.

From the bottom of my heart… thank you for trusting me, supporting my dream, and making me feel just as special as I hope I’ve made you feel. 💙✂️

✨ Sometimes the smallest change makes the biggest impact. ✨

A fresh trim and soft, blended layers gave this look new life—adding movement, shape, and a healthy finish while keeping the length she loves. 🤎

Healthy hair is always in style, and regular maintenance is the secret to keeping it looking its best. Smooth, polished, and effortlessly beautiful!
