finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
We didn’t find out what we were having when I was pregnant with Jemma. I honestly don’t know how I kept myself from finding out! With Max, we were in the middle of moving so we found out he was a boy so I would know if I needed to take Jemma’s baby clothes to […]
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 […]
On Monday we left home for a two day drive to Yellowstone. We crossed all of Washington, the Idaho panhandle, lots of Montana and then dipped into Idaho and Wyoming before arriving at our little cabin in the woods. It’s perfect! We opted to stay outside of the actual park and make the drive in […]
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 […]
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 […]
How far along: 9 weeks Gender guess: Still thinking girl. And according to Instagram comments, I’m carrying high which also leads to a pink thoughts. And the striped tank? It’s officially the best tank top ever. I want all the colors! Weight gain: Who knows. Who cares. Sleep: I don’t even know. Is it Dominic’s snoring keeping me awake? Max’s mega […]
These days I do three things. Try to find something appetizing to eat – the plague of my first trimesters. Sleep – lots. And run – as fast and as long as I can a few times each week. You see, before I found out I was pregnant I committed to a race. I even […]
It’s the beginning of pregnancy number three! I don’t think I’ve ever started journaling this early. With Jemma we didn’t announce until the end of the first trimester. Because of THE RULES that aren’t really rules. And with Max we didn’t find out until I was 9 weeks along. It’s funny to me, because you think once […]
Let’s all be super in awe of my equality and fairness as a mom for a quick moment. Today’s post is dedicated to baby number three’s official debut. Also known as “the day I peed on a stick”. I posted about the same event for itsy bits Jemma back in 2010 and then tiny little Max in early 2012. If […]
