I am dwelling in the heart of the final stretch. That’s how I feel, anyway. To me that is anything in the 30’s before full term. It feels meaty to me. Crunch time. Power hour. The last HURRAH! This week has been awesome. I’ve been freaking out about how much still needs to be done…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 32 Weeks”
This week = crunch time. I’m feeling the pressure. Pressure in my bladder, on my cervix, on my ankles, but yes… primarily I feel the pressure of time passing very quickly. I still have so very much to do before baby gets here! However, I am pleased to see little things coming together one by…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 31 Weeks”
The theme of this week: HEAT! I feel like an alien creature with a body temperature beyond the scale of human acceptance. I knew being pregnant in the summer was notoriously tough, but I didn’t realize how much it would make me feel like a displaced penguin. I yearn for the arctic. I also walk…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 30 Weeks”
Baby, baby, baby… That’s all that fills my mind these days it seems. I feel caught up in a whirlwind of “OMG PLEASE GET HERE NOW!” vs “AHHHH!!! NOT YET! I’M NOT READY AT ALL!!!” I am glad that even though late term discomforts still annoy me, I still have a smidge of nesting hormones…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 29 Weeks”

After finishing the…Continue Reading “Lizzy’s Shower Gift | DIY Crib Quilt”

We marvel at the miraculousness of it every time we bring it up. Because we had already been planning to have my shower on a particular weekend,…Continue Reading “Cute As A Button | Lizzy’s Baby Shower #1”

Having our shower weekend provided the perfect opportunity for this. While Monica and Lizzy’s family set up…Continue Reading “BFF Bumps”
I’m returning to you from a baby-shower weekend to remember! It really was incredible, the whole thing from Friday until Sunday night. There are still lingering excitements, too because I have piles of bags in the baby room to go through presents from my sweet friends to admire all over again. Friday I rushed to…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 28 Weeks”
We had my first shower! It was SO beautiful!!! I am so grateful to my sisters Bethany and Jenna and to my mom for all the work they put into making the spread of grey and yellow goodness a smashing success. We had pizza and snacked from the heavenly candy table and played a few…Continue Reading “Welcome Little Peanut | Baby Shower #1”
The baby room is painted!!! I am so excited about this! The grandmas’ collaboration last Thursday finally brought to reality all my visions of pretty grey walls and empty floors. I debated the exact shade of grey for so long and spent money I shouldn’t have on samples to find just what I was looking…Continue Reading “Baby Bump | 27 Weeks”
