A quick update for a quick week! It sped by, as life fills with things to do and plan. This week I am working furiously to wrap up some life and work things and prep for our roadtrip baby-moon!!! Steven and I are leaving soon for our big trip for just the two of us……Continue Reading “Belly Day // Twenty-One Weeks”
Oops… starting to get behind! I took the photos and video and had it all prepared but didn’t have a moment to sit and write out this post yet! But here we go :) Week twenty is always a fun, big one. It’s the halfway mark! They start measuring baby size by head to toe…Continue Reading “Belly Day // Twenty Weeks”
Nineteen weeks has come and gone! It went a little something like this… It was an average, acceptably eventful week with downtime and fun time and regular life in between. I’ve felt physically out of shape, but mentally motivated and in tune with life. Earlier in the week I tackled the stored up baby clothes…Continue Reading “Belly Day // Nineteen Weeks”
This week we experienced the next big, excited stage of this pregnancy! Steven and I got to see our little bebe during our anatomy ultrasound. It was surreal and beautiful and I loved the whole experience. The next couple days were spent prepping, shooting, and editing a gender reveal video for friends and family. I…Continue Reading “Belly Day // Eighteen Weeks”
Week 17, people! I said that like it was an exciting week… but pregnancy-wise it wasn’t really. Life-wise it was special, though! We had visitors! The awesome Chantel and her also awesome friend, Kez were in the states and came to see us. My heart grew a few sizes when we recorded the progress video…Continue Reading “Belly Day // Seventeen Weeks”
Oh man, here we go again! I looked back at my last pregnancy just now and realized I started documenting at 17 weeks. I thought I was behind, so that made me feel better about myself. Starting this process near the start of the 2nd trimester is most definitely due to the fact that I’ve…Continue Reading “Belly Day // Sixteen Weeks”
I didn’t make it to 40 weeks after all! I decided I wanted to take a photo with Finn that fit with my weekly belly update theme. I tried to make him look like a “belly” the way the cool people on Pinterest do it, but… FAIL! I won’t say too much up here because…Continue Reading “Belly Day | 41 Weeks”
You know what’s crazy? Thinking this might actually be my last update before Finn is born!!! Part of me wants to make it to 40 weeks because it’s a nice, complete number for pregnancy. I also love my due date and would be thrilled to have a Star Wars baby. However… part of me would…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 39 Weeks”
Last week was another exciting one, filled with baby thoughts and preparations. Mentally, I have fully shifted to thinking (obsessing) about labor and birth again. This is partly because we toured the Shawnee Mission Birth Center last Wednesday and went over all the things we wanted and what to expect and it made it feel…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 38 Weeks”
Nesting has hit! It slammed into me about 3 a.m. Friday morning and has barely let up since! I feel like I’ve hardly accomplished anything in spite of it, though. That’s unfortunate. I am battling some seriously intense hip and pelvic pain, making it almost impossible to walk in the mornings and by the time my joints and…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 37 Weeks”
