finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
18 days … 18 days … 18 days … which could turn into 32 days, but nevermind that. I’m focusing on 30 Days to Baby based on the little 40 week ticker. We’ll see what really happens! Last week my best friend gave birth to her first child. Olivia BrookeSeptember 15, 20106 pounds, 15 […]
Only 19 days to go … we accomplished alot this week (pictures to come), but my oh my, I’ve got alot to fit into these last 19+/- days! I have had my moments recently. The “I hate not knowing when!” (cue whining voice). The “Will I ever be skinny again! (cue dramatic flop on the […]
It seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting … now we are 20 days away. It’s crazy! There is a lot of emotional processing that goes on in these last few days of pregnancy. Sometimes I prefer to just shut down … hence a squished version of 30 Days to Baby, three […]
Only 24 days left! This 30 Days to Baby journal segment is flying by. Then again, with my recent sleepless nights it seems to be lasting forever at the same time. I have bipolar pregnancy emotions about it all. Due dates are just guesses. Did you know that? We talk about them and anticipate them like a […]
Only 25 days to go! Is that really possible? This morning as our alarms went off Dominic rolled over and said, “Soon our alarm will be a baby and we won’t have to listen to these crazy alarm songs.” OMG, he’s right! It is really easy to get tied up in all the little things when […]
Five days into my 30 Days Until Baby posts. That is 1/6 of the month. Time doesn’t have breaks! Dominic is chomping at the bit … he is ready for this baby to be here! For example … Friday night … well, Saturday morning … 3 am. He starts patting the bed all around me. […]
I adore the weekends for one particular reason … naptime. I’ve always loved naps, but truly, WHO HAS THE TIME? But, in an effort to slow down and physically/mentally prepare for baby I have tried to incorporate a few here and there. This Saturday and Sunday were prime examples. Both days I stopped the madness […]
Watch that ticker go! Only 27(ish) days until baby arrives! Here is Day #3 of 30 Days to Baby … All this planning for baby has me reflecting on the previous Big Day in my life. My extraordinary, special, fantabulous wedding. You know, the day where I married my very own Prince Charming. I think […]
Have you noticed the ticker up top? The one counting down the moments until I hold my baby? Well, today kicks off “30 Days to Baby”! I am a big believer in the “GUESS DATE” instead of a due date, so 30 days is just an estimate, it could be 10 days … or 40! […]
Dear Little One …You and I went to our 32 week appointment yesterday. Daddy had to work and was very sad he couldn’t join us. He has come to all of our other appointments and always asks such wonderful questions. We are lucky to have him in our family … he takes awesome care of […]
I hadn’t thought too hard about a baby book for our little one. Up until now, this blog has acted as our main source of tracking baby’s progress. But, thinking back to my childhood I loved looking through my baby book and being able to see and touch pictures and my mom’s handwriting. So I […]
