At The Beach With Fam🏝️

The Last Weeks of Me Being Pregnant🤰🏽

“These were the last few weeks of me being pregnant & giving birth to Laela back in 2020. It was pretty hard but also very chill as I’ve only wanted a home birth so not going to the hospital to give birth wasn’t a problem for us😌

Our doula almost came late but got here on time as Laela was getting ready to come out into the world. We’re actually friends with our doula who’s been very helpful in our pregnancy journey with our children (IYKYK)”

Happy One Yr Birthday, Laela🥳

“To my daughter Laela. Your father & I am so proud you were brought into this world with full of love, family & laughter. We can’t believe you made it to 1. Felt like it was yesterday you were just born. Now we’re both slightly worried about you getting older than just 1. I don’t think we’re quite ready for you to be older. Just stay age forever PLEASE🥺🙏

You’re the cutest one year old I’ve ever seen🥹We can’t wait to spend many more with you😁

Starting Out The Day☀️

“We started out the day by cooking our famous breakfast Kayson almost always makes (Kayson LK makes the BEST omelets & pancakes). I took over as Kayson needed to get an ingredient he forgot to get before starting. My older bro Tyson went to go get Laela out of her bed as she’s not really morning person (like me lol😅).

We then ate breakfast, got dressed in our bathing suits & finally got to the beach in time😁A few minutes after we settled, got our stuff out & put on sunscreen. I got the opportunity to show my engagement ring off to both of our older siblings that Kayson got me the yesterday evening as a surprise😊

I’m happy as clam that the love of my life decided it time to tie the knot🥹”

The Evolution of My & Bryson’s Relationship🙃

“Hi it’s Natalie here & I’m gonna give you guys a brief update of how & Bryson’s relationship is☺️

We first started off as acquaintances as we didn’t who each other were at the time. Back then I didn’t really want anything to do with boys as 1 I was too young & 2 my parents didn’t allow me to hang out with boys. So once Bryson & I saw more & more of each other the more I got to know him better. We quickly became friends but had to ask my mom & dad if it was ok. They said it was but only just friends.

So one day the day of Christmas it was just us as we were just about to go inside from being in the snow & I had the urge to KISSS Bryson right on the lips for the first time EVER🫣It was soooo embarrassing because right after that I ran away embarrassed & hid from him🥺 I bet he thought I ran away from him but we finally talked it out after awhile & said I wouldn’t do it again unless he wanted me too when we’re older😌

Fast forward 5 yrs & now we’re boyfriend & girlfriend. You can’t see it much in the last few pics of us but that was when we were freshmans in HS. We’re now juniors & are still together although I’m not too sure if we’re gonna be together any longer this year as we’re seeing each other less & less now🥺

Wish us the best of luck😊”

The Relationship of Natalie, Bryson & Their Niece Laela👩🏼🧑🏽🩷👧🏼

“Hey it’s me, Bryson!!

These are just some of the pics of Natalie, I & Laela’s relationship from the past 2 years over but here’s a summary in words of how it went😊

Meeting Laela for the first time as a newborn was exhilarating for me (I don’t know what it was like for Nat lol😅). Growing up I HATED being the youngest in our family. Getting babied & having everyone in your family treat like one for years even after being in school was TOOO much😫

So having a sibling would’ve made things a lot easier for me growing up but alas that day never came unfortunately😞The day I heard the news I was gonna be an uncle made it seem things were possible that I’d stop getting babied & it DID😁

I was so happy but also weirded out of how young of an uncle I’d be but that didn’t mattered to me😌Being an uncle to a little baby was something I’ve always dreamt about & that was it. I wished I would’ve been there for the birth of my niece but it was late I was already in bed & tired for the day🥺

It wasn’t until weeks later until I was able to hold her for the first time EVER in my arms. She was the cutest thing I EVER did see. Her eyes were so tiny, dark & cute that they were closed half of the time I was there anyway so too bad about me not being able to see her beautifully cute eyes while they were open😩

That time Natalie & I were both there so we had to share who was gonna hold her. I can’t remember but I believe I held her first so HA I beat you to it Nat😆Just kidding just kidding😂

As time went on little Lae Lae got bigger & bigger & so did our little friendship we were making🥹It wasn’t long until she starting walking & then talking. So now she can hold conversations longer than both me & Natalie can😅”

Laela’s 2nd Birthday🎂

“2 yrs ago was our first born daughter’s 2nd birthday & what a day to remember🥹

Getting to invite all her family & friends as well as my friends was one of the absolute BEST parts of her birthday. Celebrating it was the other BEST part😁

That year was more fun to celebrate as we were able to actually pick out a theme for her birthday & got to invite people we know & love to that years’ party. That was the fun part for me☺️

In the last 3 pics are of her BFFs Mckenna (brown hair) and Daphne (red hair) who’s parents are friends with me too😊 Daphne’s mother (who she adopted as a baby) is my BFF since my childhood days. McKenna’s mother is my bestie who was my doula & midwife for both of my births

Who knew at the age of 2 she’d make more friends I’ve had in the span of 2 yrs of making friends at the age of 5 til the age of 7 lol😅”

Laela Faye Drew👶🏼

Here’s some old pics of their daughter Laela when she was just born using my old a** style of editing😅

Enjoying Our time in Sulani🏝️

“At last we finally arrived at the famous vacationing spot here in Sulani. It’d been since I was a little girl the last time I’d been here🥺

I came here with my immediate family here a couple of times in the past but hadn’t been here since I was a preteen since life became really busy afterwards so I haven’t been here with either siblings in a long time😞(what sucks is that Bryson may not remember the last time he was here as he was toddler the last time😔)

It’s Laela’s first time EVER coming here & I’m so excited to start a new tradition with her & *maybe* more to come in the future👀”

Growing Up in Monthly Stages with Laela pt. 2 (Last Part)

I’ve added 12 mths as it’s the last month parents stop sharing about their babys’ milestones on social media that’s why I added it☺️”

The Gender Reveal💙🩷

“The day we found the gender of our baby was the happiest day of my life. Having everyone we love there was EVERYTHING to me😭

A GIRLLLL😁👏

Nothing against having boys but all my life I grew with brothers (I LOVE them but don’t get me wrong they can be annoying AF😒😂) & for the longest I wanted to have a sister but that day never came so having a girl was a HUGE blessing for me & my immediate family😄

Gotta give a HUGE thanks to both my bestie Kaylee & Kayson’s parents. Kaylee for setting up the gender reveal deco as she was the only one that KNEW the gender of the baby & is the best party decorator so she had to be the one to do this for us☺️

Kayson’s parents because they came a long way from being rude & disrespectful to Kayson & I’s relationship & the beginnings of my pregnancy to trying to work things out with the both of us to try being the best parents, 2nd parents (to me) & grandparents to us & our unborn baby girl. I can never thank them enough for changing their life around for us🥰”
