finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
How far along: 21 weeks, 4 days Gender: It’s a boy! I have officially guessed wrong with every child! Weight gain: Plus 10 pounds. Works for me. Sleep: I finally got consistent with taking my mag calm and it’s doin’ wonders for me in the sleep department. Best moment this week: A healthy as pie ultrasound! So relieved to hear […]
Yes! It’s true … a healthy BABY BOY is on his way to our family!
There is something about reaching the 20 week mark in pregnancy that feels exhilarating. Tiring too, but mostly I have this overarching joy surrounding the sweet baby growing inside of me. With 20 weeks brings a noticeable bump and therefore, more “Congratulations!” and less “Are you pregnant?” comments. Even better, I feel daily kicks from this sweet […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
