The fabric of my life.
How far along? 37 weeks Total weight gain? 34.5 lbs. Maternity clothes? These days, you’re lucky I’m wearing my own clothing. Let alone wearing semi-appropriate clothing to work. I say “semi-appropriate” because there is no way my feet are going into anything other than flip flops right now. Stretch marks? Ugh. Yes. And they itch. […]

Pregnancy is a beast. With only hours/days/weeks to go before I meet my sweet baby girl, I’ve started reflecting on my life over the last nine-ish months. Maybe it’s the hormones, or the general grumpiness I’m feeling alongside the discomfort, but I’m here to tell you pregnancy is NOTHING like what your friends will tell […]

How far along? 36 weeks Total weight gain? 31.5 lbs. Maternity clothes? With it finally being fall and all in Indiana (which means it’s a high of 68* one day, and 80* the next), I’ve had to really stretch some clothing to translate seasons (literally…stretch). not so Luckily, I’ve had a new symptom of hot flashes added to […]

I briefly mentioned in a previous post that I was considering a natural birth. Since then, I have been surprised by how many people 1.) actually read that post and 2.) have asked to know more.

Obviously I have been counting down this pregnancy since… oh, I don’t know… the beginning. But today is a milestone worthy enough for a short little blog post. I’m due to have a baby exactly one month from today. It dawned on me yesterday that as unprepared as I am for Baby C’s birth, most […]

The boys dreamed up a complex storyline involving a semi-fake ClassRealm investment pitch that not only kept Dave preoccupied, but provided for the perfect alibi to get Dave away […]

How far along? 35 weeks Total weight gain? 31.5 lbs. Considering my “terrible” eating habits when Courtny is away, I consider this 1.5 lb. gain a win. Maternity clothes? Ugh. To make myself feel better and to prep for my post-baby wardrobe, I followed my favorite blog to stalk Living in Yellow‘s advice and signed up for […]

A rather low-key weekend did nothing to make me feel less miserable. In fact, today I’m pretty sure my pelvis is going to snap in half. And Baby C may be clawing her way out… Pregnancy is oh-so glamorous. In all seriousness, Baby C and I have managed to make it through the last six […]

How far along? 34 weeks Total weight gain? No doctor appointment until next week….so still at 30 lbs. I know. Completely logical. Maternity clothes? That’s not even a question at this point. Stretch marks? Nada. Sleep? I’m sleeping better, but I definitely wake up every 2-3 hours. Maybe I’m just getting used to it? Best moment […]

I have been thinking about this post for weeks. I would like to say that I have the perfect words to express myself on this bittersweet day, but the reality is that I have started and deleted this post at least 10 times now. Nothing about this blog will be easy. Today would be my […]
