finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
How far along: Almost 19 weeks Gender guess: I just finished up a post all about gender predictions and based on those things are bending towards girl. Weight gain: 148 pounds at my last appointment. I think I started in the 140-145 range. Sleep: If I sleep alone I definitely sleep better than if Dom or Max are with […]
This week I scrolled through my recent posts to recall what I’ve covered here on the blog and found it so lacking :/ I used to share some pretty awesome posts if I do say so myself and the last few months have been random Style Files, recipes and pregnancy updates. Kind of lame if […]
When Dominic and I were having conversations about a third child one of my main convincing points was that we only truly needed one thing – a third car seat. So pretty much, this baby would be our super budget baby :) Practically free! When it comes to car seats I’m a bit of a […]
Necklace c/o Emerald Cuff … stay tuned for a whole Style File with them, you Stitch Fixers will love it and you can save $10 off your first order here. How far along: 17 weeks Gender guess: I carried high with Jem, low with Max. This photo looks high to me, so … girl? Weight gain: I […]
How far along: 15 weeks Gender guess: I mean, it’s 50/50, right? I did order this for kicks and giggles! Weight gain: Plus 5 pounds at the end of my first trimester. Not too shabby. Sleep: Insomnia sadness going on. I just started taking my mag/cal in hopes of staying asleep more often than not. Best moment this week: My […]
I took the plunge and am so happy I did! Maternity Stitch Fix for the win! Stitch Fix has always known what they’re doing – I’ve adored so many of the pieces I’ve received over the last 2+ years, and now, they’re catering to both the pregnant and petite gals of the world. Hallelujah! So, this […]
How far along: 13 weeks Gender guess: A little back story here … We spent the weekend with Dominic’s extended family. His grandma , who passed in November, was a expert gender predictor. Her only daughter is feeling like she has inherited this gift and she has put her vote in as this baby being a girl. […]
How far along: 11 weeks Gender guess: I ordered these in Grenadine. So … yeah. Weight gain: Our scale bit the dust and I have way more important things to buy than a new one. This week I both fit into my size 6 shorts and a pair of maternity pants, so I’m apparently very flexible, lol! Sleep: Touch and […]
I get it. It’s really hard to look in the mirror and think, “Golly, I sure love you!” Usually we see blemishes and stretch marks first, tired eyes and crazy mom hair. But if I believe anything, it’s that self-confidence begins at home and the very best thing I can do for my children is to […]
Hola mamas! Things are slow and steady around here as I countdown to my second trimester. Really really really, in the worst way, hoping it brings some energy and food tolerance :) The littles and I have used a fair amount of movies and take out to distract us. And I’ve done a wee bit […]
First off, a big fat confession … I haven’t run since my 5 miler race 10 days ago. I know, the shame! So much for the glorious routine I had going! It’s going to hurt to get back at it, but I will. After the weekend :) And after this fine, fine caramel flan latte I’m […]
