38 week check-in

I know what you’re probably thinking.  Didn’t I just post about week 37?  I was kinda behind with that one.  This post, however, is on time. What’s there to say really? I’m uncomfortable.  Real clothes sucks.  All I want to do is wear PJs all day long.  And do anything but sit.  Sitting is not at all comfortable.  Standing or lying down is fine.  Although it takes me half an hour to get from one position to the other.  Now I know what women feel like during the last few weeks when they just want… Read more >

37 week check-in

I decided I should probably do pregnancy posts more frequently now that I’m getting down to the home stretch. We’re gonna be parents!!!!!!! It’s hard to believe I’ve been pregnant for all this time and it’s only just starting to hit me that we are going to be mom + dad for the next however many years.  That’s way different than just Kyle + Elise. Hard to believe we were once just dumb college kids!  Now we have to pretend to act like adults so our kid doesn’t figure out that we’re really winging it. … Read more >

A family shower

I (semi) promised my G-ma that I’d post about our baby shower (although you’ll notice I made no such promise about how timely the post would be). [Me + G-ma] In truth, I didn’t take my camera because I was just going to soak up all the fun and family time.  But my aunt, cousins, sister, and mom did SUCH an outstanding job with everything – from the decor to the food – that I feel compelled to share.  I’ll include a vegan/gluten free dessert recipe, too (so it’s worth your while to read). iPhone… Read more >

36 week check-in

I can buy this to be a diaper bag right? I’ve never owned anything lululemon and that’s for a very intentional reason. From what I understand, buying this brand is like getting a tattoo.  Once you get one thing, you want another, and then another, and pretty soon you can’t stop…and your bank account is wiped.  I’ve been in the store several times (I’ve tried on lots of yoga pants).  But I just haven’t been able to pull the trigger out of fear that what I said above is true.  But if I buy this… Read more >

Weeks 27 – 33

Well, I’m (hopefully) a solid 6 weeks from “the big day”. But who knows… I can say with 100% certainty that the end of the second trimester brought the end of the honeymoon phase of pregnancy. Out with the nice little bump, in with the belly! And the rest of the not-so-fun symptoms – like acid reflux, insomnia, and cramping. Ok, my belly isn’t really that big yet. I’m hardly waddling. But my body has changed big time. Exercise pretty much stopped around week 27. This was partially due to the fact that I was… Read more >
