How far along? 39 Weeks. Holy Cow. Baby boy is the size of a watermelon. And it sure feels like I'm carrying a watermelon around! Maternity clothes? For sure. Stretch marks? Nope! 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

Now that we are just days away from meeting our baby boy, I can't help but wonder who he will look like. Scratch that...I've been wondering this from day one! Will he have my husband's pretty green eyes? And my goofy smile? Will he be a good sleeper? Or a good eater? (can you tell which one I was?) Will he have my chubby legs? My husband's ... Read More

Happy  Monday everyone! We had a wonderful weekend. Breakfast downtown, date night, movies, and chocolate fondue.....doesn't get much better than that! I've also been busy working on a mini makeover for our master bedroom....and although it isn't done yet, I thought I'd share a sneak peak! We got new curtains (which are actually two ... Read More

How far along? 38 Weeks. Baby boy is the size of a pumpkin! And he is still breech. I'm still trying to get him to flip, but as for now it looks like a c-section for me. Bummer. Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity these days! Stretch marks? Nope....just 2 weeks to go until I'm in the clear! Sleep: It's been rough this week. I ... Read More

                     Yesterday we had our granite counter tops installed in our kitchen. And I am IN LOVE! Here's a reminder of what it looked like before. And after. Our kitchen is so much brighter and seems bigger. Up next is a new back splash. Not exactly sure when we'll ... Read More

Happy Monday! This weekend flew by. On Saturday I was super spoiled by the wonderful women who live in my neighborhood at my final baby shower. Baby boy is totally set for cute clothes! And I got lots of offers to watch the baby so that I can rest....love my neighbors.  Oh, and the nursery is almost done. We are so so close to ... Read More

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

Our kitchen cabinets are finally complete! And I couldn't be happier. Our kitchen is so much brighter and fresh looking. We still have some more projects (granite counter tops, new back splash, new sink and faucet, and painting the walls) but it's a start! First, here's a reminder of what they looked like before: And now: The ... Read More

How far along? 36 Weeks. I had an unplanned ultrasound yesterday because my doctor couldn't tell what position baby boy was in. Turns out he's breech....just like his mommy and his daddy. I cried in the doctor's office. And then I cried with my mom during lunch. And then cried to my husband. I don't know why I was so upset....pregnancy ... Read More

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. Our photographer was Miranda Batchelder....and I can't say enough nice things about her. She was super sweet, energetic, funny, and ... Read More
