Friends. I am not a fashion blogger! BUT, so many of you ask about my clothes (and the boys' clothes!) so I thought I would try out a little post on my recent Abercrombie haul. Never in a million years did I think I would be shopping at Abercrombie again. Abercrombie was my very first 'real' job! I absolutely thought I was too too old for their clothes. Nope. I was wrong. Their clothes are soft, fit well, and they have tons of styles … [Read more...]
A Mother’s Dream
This kid is the definition of a mother's dream, except of course when he is throwing himself head first off of furniture. In that case, he is a mother's heart attack. Mason is cruising like a maniac, climbing on top of everything (and even into his water table), standing on his own and surprising himself, climbing up the stairs 12 times in a row and making both of us out of breath, and taking his few first steps. He sure is keeping his mama on … [Read more...]
The Final Weeks of Pregnancy!
The last two weeks of pregnancy were such a blur to me! The majority of it was spent nesting like a mad woman, working my last few shifts, and trying to sneak in a few moments for myself. I felt pretty overwhelmed, like every spare minute I had was spent preparing for the little man. There were boxes all over the house, gifts scattered in every room (which we were SO grateful for), baby stuff we didn’t have set up yet or even know what to do … [Read more...]
36 Week BumpDate!
Is it possible to have baby fever when you are already pregnant? We have 24 days until our due date and I am dyyyyyying to meet him - it’s driving me crazy! I can’t wait to hold him in my arms, smell that baby smell, for his little hands to grasp my finger, and to see those tiny itty bitty feet - eeeeeek! Almost NOTHING fits at this point, and I’ve mostly been living in Ty’s t-shirts, but I am loving this dress from Pink Blush (click on my pic … [Read more...]
6 Reasons Why the Second Trimester Kicks A$$
The second trimester for me was the BOMB! Now that I am in my third trimester, I am truly TRULY appreciative of how great it was (more on the third trimester later – ugh!). Some women say that starting the second trimester is like flipping a switch because all of the first trimester symptoms disappear and you start to feel like a human again. For me, I was pretty lucky in that I didn’t have much morning sickness or fatigue in the first trimester. … [Read more...]
34 Week Bump Update
I can't believe it is already September! Next month this little boy will make me a mama and I couldn't be more excited! My work schedule has finally slowed down a tiny bit (two days on and one day off!) and I have been going to the gym every day that I'm not working. I wanted to start a Whole30 today, and did GREAT with breakfast - I even had my coffee black! But...I had made caramel filled chocolate chip cookies and we still had some leftover … [Read more...]
Bump Update Pic!
Everyone has been requesting bump updates so here is one for you all! I spent my day off yesterday cozied up in my PinkBlush kimono and caught up on old episodes of Giuliana and Bill! I'm obsessed! It was also Ty's birthday so we ordered in some dinner and spent a few hours together after he got home from the hospital! I surprised him with an Air Assault bike since he has been so consistent with his at home workouts - kind of big purchase but he … [Read more...]
