August 9th | A year ago today I was 24 weeks pregnant and in a very dark place. I had my priorities very mixed up to say the least and I honestly couldn't have told which way was up, or maybe I could have but I just didn't want to admit I was at the bottom. I had given up everything for a dream that was really a nightmare. I lost myself. It's taken hesrtbreak, the birth of my daughter, 8 months of her unconditional love and my family & friend's support to really build me back together. I'm starting my new [career] tomorrow and I'm *fingers crossed* moving out in November. I have completely turned my life around and I just cannot believe how low I was and how far I have risen and how far I have yet to climb. Thank you to those who have really believed in me and never gave up on me, even after I had given up on myself. #JayceeBayne #StartedFromTheBottom #NowWeAreHere

So before finding out someone was shot & killed literally within 50 feet of where I am, it was a perfect fourth of July with these perfect beauties. RIP to the deceased and love and thoughts out to the families. #fireworkssoundlikegunshots #ifeelawfulididnthearthedifference #happyfourthofjuly #besafeyall #JayceeBayne @kristenmariee__ @extaticelizabeth

July 4th | It was your first fourth of July and it couldn't have been any more perfect. You did so well with the fireworks. You were scared but you didn't cry, you were curious. You cuddled in to me (which you never do these days) and as long as you had both arms around Momma you were happy to watch the colors explode overhead. You're the light of my life, Jaycee, and I am just so unbelievably blessed to have you as my daughter. This past year .... God, it's been unbelievable. To know exactly where I was and what I was doing this time last year and now, to be here, with you, laughing and smiling, both of us happy and healthy. I just cannot express how grateful I am. Mommy loves you, Peanut, so so much. You're my little firecracker 🎇🎆 Happy Fourth everyone, from #JayceeBayne and I 😘🍻

June 20th | Jaycee's first time in a pool was at the same pool I learned how to swim in. #FunFact #CanyonOakApartments #KeepingItInTheFamily #JayceeBayne (at Canyon Oaks Apartments)

June 15th | My baby is going to be 7 months in 7 days and I am just absolutely devastated. When the hell did this happen?? 😭💔 You are already officially mobile, crawling around getting in to everything. You have one tooth. You love anything orange (formula container, carrots, and sweet potatoes). You steal the hearts of anyone and everyone you smile at. You love "The Ants Go Marching" song. And you love to climb. You make me happier than anyone ever has or ever could. Even on the bad days (like today) when you are just inconsolable, I can honest to god say that there is NO place else I would rather be. I love you so much baby girl. Now, #StayLittle #JayceeBayne
