I want to start this post by saying that I was absolutely blown away by the thoughtful, sweet responses to my last post about parenting. I'm so lucky to have readers who are supportive, compassionate and willing to share their own experiences. It means the world to me that many of you took the time to leave a comment---thank you for allowing ...
pregnancy
30 Weeks!
I've mentioned before that I'm lucky to have access to infant care, infant CPR and other classes via the hospital I will be delivering at so it will be nice to have some hands-on instruction and advice from experts. But one thing no one can teach you, is how to be a parent. It's the most challenging role you'll ever take on in your life---and you ...
Weekend…
This morning H and I went to Precious Glance Ultrasound for our second attempt at a 3D view of our little girl. Baby girl was a little more cooperative this time and we got a few good shots of her face. It was a cool experience and I definitely recommend it to parents-to-be if you'd like to get another peek at your little one after your 20 ...
Ruched
I've talked about this in my weekly pregnancy updates, but aside from pants, I haven't been wearing a lot of maternity clothes. I'm fortunate to have a lot of looser tops in my existing wardrobe so a lot of the outfits I'm posting aren't anything new if you've been reading my blog for awhile---they just fit differently now because of my shape ...
29 Weeks!
I know I say this every week, but I can't believe how fast time is going. There are just a little less than two and a half months left before our little girl is due. So much is coming up in the next month--- baby showers, completing the nursery, classes at the hospital, finishing some of the books I'm reading...and so much more. ...
Our Weekend: Nursery Updates, IKEA Trip & More
Our morning started off early---with the nursery chandelier and curtains installed at 8:30 a.m. followed by a trip to Rice Village to pick up our glider. I'm so thrilled with how the nursery looks right now. It's such a beautiful, serene space. I think it's actually turning out better than I had imagined as it all comes together---and it's ...
28 weeks!
Happy Wednesday to all of my readers and major thanks to all of you moms who took the time to comment on my 27 week post! I loved hearing all of your advice and stories about the first few weeks and months of being a new mom. I got the most amazing news ever this week! One of my best friends from Canada is flying in for one of my baby ...
27 weeks
With just a few months left in my pregnancy (where did the time go?) I'm thinking a lot about the arrival of our little one and what life will be like once she's here. I've been reading parenting and infant care books and consulting with other moms, but at the end of the day, most moms will tell you "every baby is different"--- and they're ...
Weekend Updates
Today H and I went to the mall for a quick trip to pick up some makeup items I had run out of. I repurchased Bobbi Brown's blush in "peony" (the only blush I wear) and realized that this is the first time I have ever repurchased it which means my original one lasted more than two years (yay!). I also got a new tube of Urban Decay ...
26 Weeks!
Last Sunday, I had a sudden burst of energy that had me running around the house like a mad woman cleaning everything in sight. I don't know what got into me, but I had an unstoppable urge to clean. If it's this intense now, I don't even want to know what "nesting" is going to look like, haha. We also finished painting the ...
