Kathy's Pretty Pieces

Are you trying to search for that perfect piece of jewel to fit with your outfits? Can't find the right accessories for your renaissance costume? Or you just simply love beautiful, elegant jewelry? Well, I have just the right person who can satisfy all your needs to make that outfit stunning.

May I introduce my mother! (:

She's been working on her masterpieces for a while now, I wanna say about two years and her experience has grown immensely and her work is stunning! She can make custom designs on whatever accessory you need; necklaces, bracelets, anklets, earrings, or rings!

I own a few of her pieces and I proudly wear them when I can!

Here's my absolute favorite piece she made for me!

And a few other examples of her work..

Remember, she will be more than happy to do a custom design for you as well! And the usual time it takes her to make some of these is about 21 days. It mainly depends on how "dramatic" you like it. Haha.

If you're interested, here's her site and you can either order what she has pre-made or send her a message of your own idea!

First UltraSound

What an experience this was!

I was nervous, excited, and thrilled more than anything to see and hear my baby for the first time. I smiled bigger than I ever have before, and let many tears fall down my cheeks. The doctor said the baby was healthy!

It was 9 weeks and 4 days at the time, June 15th, 2016, and now it's 10 weeks and 2 days old. (:

The heart beat was a normal 179 bps, and hearing that for the first time made my own heart race as well as I cried; happy tears of course. And the father, Wes, couldn't help but smile just as big as he couldn't be more than happy for me. He already has a son, so his only wish was that I experience the same with my own child. I love that man to the moon and back. <3

If you'd like, you're more than welcome to smile along with me as I share a few photos with you.

My Pregnancy Collection of Clothes - Part 1

Of course, I reacted to the pregnancy like any first time mother would've. Collecting the many choices of shirts out there for the mothers that like to show off how proud they are being pregnant! Haha, I still have more that I wish to collect, but here's just a few I own now.

They were just too adorable to pass on, as they expressed just how excited I am to finally claim the title of "Mom". And of course, my fiance, Wes, receives a lot of gratitude as I obviously couldn't have done this without him. Haha! :-P

The First Day of Announcement

The first day I ever figured out I was pregnant was June 2nd, 2016.

I couldn't believe my eyes! I had the usual symptoms; missed period, nauseated just about every morning, and extremely tired by the end of the end and going to bed early. When I saw "Pregnant" on my test, I wanted to fall to my knees and bawl. Of course, crying happy tears as me and my fiance have been trying for two years prior to that day.

It was a blessing! After losing my father and little brother in 2014, I didn't think I was going to expect such a surprise as this ever in my life. I mean, a good surprise, not shocking news that instantly broke my heart and allowed me to lose all hope..., but something told me to never give up on my goals.

{Sorry for the blurriness}

YAY! (:

And now, as of June 10, 2016, I'm nine weeks into the motherhood and I couldn't be any more happier. I'm hoping for a little girl, as I've already picked out a name and everything.

Aaralyn Katheryn Mabry

Though, for a boy I haven't figured out a name just yet. But I've really wanted something Irish-related, and unique. If you'd like, you're more than welcome to suggest names! (:

Now, the only thing left on my bucket list is to be married and give birth to this gorgeous blessing I've received.
