Last week a package showed up on my porch {which happens basically daily but stick with me here} that I wasn’t expecting.
I’m so excited to finally share the nursery for our sweet second babe. Having designed and decorated a gender neutral nursery once before for Annabelle, I was definitely looking forward to doing it again.
Here we are friends, nearly 38 weeks {this update is a few days late}, one week away from when I delivered Annabelle and about 2 days away from the time I might start waving the white flag for this pregnancy. Shall we say I’m ready to be done?
You guys, I’m having a baby in less than three weeks. We are literally days away from meeting this sweet babe and I’m feeling all the feels!
There are few things that are more important to a lady in her ninth month of pregnancy than comfortable footwear. Coincidentally, new moms are also quite tickled by cute shoes that are also sensible – I guess it’s sort of like how not sleeping towards the end of pregnancy is supposed to prepare you for what’s to come.
Dressing for date night can be particularity hard when you’re pregnant. I usually get pretty excited to put on a cute outfit and spend some time with my guy but the challenge of dressing the bump while still feeling sexy {and comfortable} is definitely real.
Happy Saturday! We’re taking a relaxing approach to Memorial Day over here and hanging out all weekend in our jammies.
A few weeks ago I was having lunch with my friend Kate, who is a mom of two adorable kids, a doula, and an all around expert on the subject of motherhood, and the topic of birth plans came up.
Springtime in Michigan has this magical quality about it. Even though I’ve been feeling particularly heavy lately {literally, not really figuratively} the sunshine and breezy temperature has a way to instantly transform my mood.
Nothing makes you feel more like a mother than being 34 weeks pregnant on Mother’s Day, take it from me!
We’ve been playing a bit of bedroom musical chairs around here as we prepare for the new baby.
I was laying in bed last night {with both babies, because Annabelle fell asleep in our bed and the other one is never too far from me if you know what I mean} and I thought to myself, I can’t believe God has made me a mama – TWICE! And then I instantly felt a little sad for all of the women who are struggling with their motherhood journey.
The weeks are flying by and it’s crazy to think there are less than 7 weeks until my due date! Fun fact: I was actually born at 33 weeks while my mom and dad were on vacation in Northern Michigan. When I think about the fact that there’s a “me sized” baby in my belly – wow! Here’s the latest with baby number two this week.
If there’s one thing I’ve been doing throughout our house over the last few months it’s organizing! Between spring cleaning and nesting, the bump and I can barely keep up over here going from space to space.
If you’re still looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift {or perhaps want to send some ideas to the person who might be in shopping for you}, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve rounded up my favorite gifts in a few different categories – and everything is under $100!
There’s just something so classic and simple about a white dress. It’s always a chic look and in the case of this one since it’s non-maternity it works for every stage of motherhood. Especially for that awkward postpartum phase when you don’t want to wear anything too tight fitting.
