I lucked out big time. Sleep: I'm still up every two hours or so to go the bathroom and change positions...but sleeping pretty well considering. Best moment this ... Read More

Who will he look like?

Who will he look like?

37 Weeks

37 Weeks

How far along? 37 Weeks. My baby will be here in 3 weeks! Isn't that crazy? Looks like baby boy is still breech. I've been going to a chiropractor trained in the Webster Technique 3 times a week to help adjust my hips so that the baby can turn....so we'll see if that helps. If anything it feels good! I'm also swimming and doing yoga. I ... Read More

Maternity Photos

Maternity Photos

If you are on the fence about getting maternity photos, here is my advice: Do it. It will be fun to look back one day and see how big your belly was....and remember how sweet your husband was during that time.
