Good morning and I just realized this is my 100th post! Whoa!!! Well, I have never been 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant before. It’s sort of a weird feeling because you build up your due date so much throughout pregnancy and then it comes and goes with not a whole lot of excitement. At my appointment yesterday, my doctor told me to keep a positive attitude and that all babies come…
Can we please talk about how there are less than 4 weeks until my due date? Um…where did that time go?? All of a sudden I’m waddling everywhere and my face that I didn’t think was puffy is actually puffy. I forgot what it’s like to be 8 months pregnant! With Alex, I remember coming home from work and falling asleep on the couch every.single.day. I was exhausted and I didn’t even…
Holy Moly! Can you guys even believe that I am six months pregnant?? I can’t. Until I’m running to the bathroom every 30 minutes. Then I’m all like oh yeah, duh! Well, just wanted to share a little update on what’s going on with me (& us) as we all prepare for Baby R to make his appearance. First things first, so I can stop calling him “Baby R #2”, his name…
I was so bad at taking pictures of myself during my pregnancy with Alex. I had a lot of weekly photos that I took in the mirror when I actually remembered, but nothing awesome (except for our maternity photos!). Then Pinterest came along, towards the end of my pregnancy, with all of these adorable weekly/monthly photos of pregnant ladies. For this pregnancy I have committed to a monthly picture. It is pretty…

We found out mid-July and have kept it under lock and key for this long! Can you believe it?! I really can’t. I’m a terrible secret keeper. So, bear with me as I learn to be pregnant with a toddler for the first time…
The nurse came in an I will spare you the details of a water breaking. You can imagine or don’t… From there it was time to switch to the labor a delivery room. Just the mention of being moved to L & D made me pretty freaked out. Everything seemed to be happening at lightning speed. At some point in the early morning hours, I succumbed to the pain and took a…
I was scrubbing my bath tub, just like any other woman at 9 months pregnant would be doing. Making sure everything was perfect for when our little bean arrived. At 11:07 a.m. I heard the tail end of my ring tone, so I waited for a voicemail to be left for me. I listened to my OB say “I need to talk to you about the ultrasound that you had today, in…
