3rd Trimester

for a tour! Not the big day.. yet. Little lady still needs to cook for a few more weeks 😉 We met with a group of expecting parents to take a tour of the maternity ward, labor and delivery, and nurseries today at the hospital where our baby will be born. I wasn’t quite sure…

I’m not-so-secretly afraid my water is going to break teaching Zumba. Can you imagine the horror? Shaking my booty in front of class when a waterfall of fluid hits the floor to Pitbull. I’d die. [Side note: the new lululemon Quick Step pant is my new fave. I like it even more than the Studio…

-At least once a day, I’ll go into the nursery to smell the sweet baby smell of Dreft. [Hoping to have it finished by the end of next week!] Last weekend, I did a LOT of baby laundry… all of her bedding, little diapers 0-3 month clothes blankets, towels and washcloths are washed and ready…

A note to the fellow preg ladies out there:   waiting until you’re 8 months pregnant to buy maternity jeans isn’t the best idea ever. Embrace the panel! Going on a little babymoon, however, was one of the best ideas we’ve had in a long time. It really gave us a chance to enjoy each…

[Bella loves the belly] As we’ve been rolling along with everything, we’ve had to make a lot of medical-related decisions for the baby. Some were easy (like deciding to skip the eye treatment after birth- it’s only absolutely necessary for those with a history of STDs and can make the baby’s vision blurry during a…

It’s been a pretty amazing birthday. Morning kisses from Bell Birthday kicks from the little lady Surprises from the baby daddy and love of my life a crazyawesome Zumba class and CAKE. [GF chocolate with white frosting and rainbow sprinkles!] I’m a happy kid, even though as I’ve gotten older, birthdays have become less and…

I find it hilarious that I’m writing about preg fashion while wearing sweatpants and an old T-shirt… they’re also the same sweatpants I put on when I got home from work last night. What can I say? I like them. That’s why I’m writing this post- I need help! In the first trimester, I made…

It’s been a little while since I’ve done one of these posts (here are the first and second), and a lovely reader let me know that it was about time for another one. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it (oh yeah, because my brain is gone), but as things continue to grow over…

and feeling a little anxious. 12 weeks:                                                                17 weeks:   30 weeks:                                                        32 weeks:   It’s really fun to be able to look back at past pictures. The little baby and the belly have grown so much, and the belly has also changed shape. This week’s pic looks a little rounder and less pointy than…

Since we want the nursery to be done by the end of next week, that was the final push to finish the hanging nursery letters with the baby’s name. These letters have been the bane of my existence. You see, I’m not a crafty person. But, when I found out that ordering the hanging letters…

Nesting mode has kicked into full gear over here. I’ll be 32 weeks this week, so technically there’s about 8 weeks left, but since we have our San Diego trip, Thanksgiving and Christmas sandwiched in there, the more we can do now, the better. I still have this feeling that she’ll be here before 40…

We changed our MySpace status to “in a relationship,” exactly 6 years ago, and today we celebrated our baby shower together.   It was a beautiful day surrounded by family and friends. Tom, the little lady and I are so very blessed <3
