This is the week I have been waiting for! I remember sometime around 14 weeks when I began to feel like I had a goal to strive towards. 20 weeks. This week is so big and not just because this meant we could have our sonogram. I’ve reached the half-way point! It’s freaking me out a bit….Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 20 Weeks”
And some Debussy. Mmmm! Makes for a good morning! Steven left for work and I’ve been dealing with some hormone-induced separation anxiety lately. I wished so badly that I could fall back to sleep so I wouldn’t have to be alone. *Collective “awwww” of sympathy. We woke up to a shocking crack of thunder and…Continue Reading “Tea and Pop Tarts”
I have reached a milestone. The one where strangers notice you are pregnant. I wasn’t expecting this to happen so soon, but I do believe I finally “popped” (really this just means I am beginning to feel more and more like I am actually going to pop. Like a balloon. Get it? Whatever.) Last week…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 19 Weeks”
I feel so pregnant! Weird, right? Lately I’ve been having dreams about and thinking about the earliest memories I have and what life was like for me when my parents first had me. I have the unique opportunity to imagine my parents in a very similar situation since I was their first. It’s like a…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 18 Weeks”
Seventeen weeks has been fun, but I get this feeling like 18 weeks is a big one. Not as big as 20 weeks, of course, but it still feels big. It is also the number I keep looking to as the week when I really should be feeling baby movements. I feel flutters now, but…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 17 Weeks”
This week has felt like a “middle week.” Nothing monumental seems to have changed. Things are changing just a little, I feel a little more legitimately pregnant, lol and my belly and hips are aching in every sort of barbaric way. I don’t want to jinx anything, but I have felt pretty good the last…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 16 Weeks”
This week has been pretty much the same as last week. Dealing with some sickness towards the end of the day and struggling through the fog of baby-brain to try to accomplish at least one thing a day. Even if that one thing is making dinner for my hubby. :) We were able to see…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 15 Weeks”
Here is my progress photo for 14 weeks. I took this at what was basically the last possible moment for 14 weeks. I have put off beginning to document my bump since I still haven’t felt super awesome and because I’m a procrastinator by nature. I wish I had, since I now have no “Pre-Bloat”…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 14 Weeks”
About a month ago, on March 3, Steven and I made the official announcement on Facebook that we are expecting a baby in September! Here is the cover photo I designed to share the big news: And here is a second option I made: And a few photos from the same photoshoot we did together:…Continue Reading “The Big Announcement”
Some of you might remember that this was previously the location of our wedding journey documentation! My website and blogs were recently hacked, and I hadn’t updated this blog in nearly 2 years, so I thought it would be best if I re-purposed it to be a more personal blog where we could document the…Continue Reading “The New Face of Dirt N’ Diamonds”
