I think the halfway point of pregnancy kind of brought out a sense of urgency in me. Suddenly I started to think about how I haven't ordered much yet so I started to (in a panic) use the task list app on my iPhone to make a list of all of the things we need to do before baby arrives (tour daycares, have nursery painted, curtains installed, ...

Outfits Lately & GAP maternity really skinny pants love
This post is a little combo of two weekend outfits and two work week outfits. I've found myself gravitating towards the same pieces---especially my super long tanks and dress shirts. They work so well with a bump. The one thing in common in all of these photos is the GAP really skinny maternity pants. It's safe to say I'm completely in love with ...
19 Weeks!
How far along? 19 weeks (I do these a week behind as a recap of the previous week, so I'm actually 20 weeks today.) I took these photos of H and Lulu over the weekend and they are just so loving together. It makes me feel all warm in my heart and teary when I think of how he will be with our daughter. (this is seriously how ...
It’s a…
GIRL!!!!!!! Can you believe it?! No one is more surprised than I am. My husband has said from the start that we would have a girl and I was convinced baby was a boy (so much so that I didn't even look at girl clothes or anything girly during my pregnancy thus far). My reasoning? I am so girly, I must be having a boy. I don't know ...
Pregnancy Skin Care: My Updated Skincare Routine
Before we started trying to conceive, I stopped taking antibiotics for my acne (I had only used them for about 2 months or a little less---you can read about that here). I was still using the Proactiv Refining Mask as a spot treatment, but about 2 weeks after I got my positive OPK read, I stopped using topicals too, "just in case." The first ...
17 weeks!

Blazer- Aritzia (similar, similar) Blouse- J.Crew (similar, love this option too) Pants- GAP really skinny maternity pants (buy here) Shoes- Kate Spade (similar) Necklace- c/o Stella & Dot (love this one) Bag- LV Neverfull ...
16 Weeks!
Week 16 went well. I still haven't gotten back into working out, but I cleaned my house this weekend---so that counts as a workout, right? How far along? 16 weeks Total weight gain/loss: I have gained a total of 4 lbs so far. My OBGYN told me I should aim for 20 lbs total for the entire pregnancy, which seems low, so ...
15 Weeks!
Week 15 was pretty good! My goal for the coming weeks is to try to get back into Bar Method classes again. I have to learn the modifications for pregnancy via their DVD, so I haven't been as motivated as I'd like to be. I try to walk a lot on weekends as I do my errands but the weather and darkness outside has kept me from wanting to walk ...
What I’m Reading: Pregnancy, Baby & Parenting
In the past few years, I am ashamed to admit I have not read a lot of books (magazines and blogs are another story, I've read many many of those). As a young girl and teen, reading was probably one of my most major hobbies. My idea of a fun weekend was going to the library by myself and coming home with a bag of books. I used to read the ...
14 Weeks!
I am so excited to be starting my weekly pregnancy update series! I wasn't sure what made the best sense when it came to doing these, but after some feedback on Facebook, it seems like it would be best to summarize the last week (so do these one week behind). I am starting with week 14 and will update every Wednesday since that is when I ...
