I never post on the weekends, but you guys... TODAY IS OUR DUE DATE! I can't even believe I'm sitting here typing that. This morning, I went on an hour long walk with my sister and her family, then followed that up with a pedicure with my mom and sisters, and now I'm putting my feet up (because, duh).  What's up next?  Squats and then a spicy dinner?  I'd say I'm officially

September 4 - 10 Today is my last day of work!  I was planning on working until delivery...but you know what?  I'd say working until my due date is plenty...my feet are swelling in this heat and I am really, really, REALLY hoping this boy comes next week and doesn't decide to be over a week late.  I guess if he decides to come this weekend, then I did actually work

Moving is no joke. It is hard work and plain exhausting and doing it pregnant is even more so! Fortunately, husband's been a rockstar and doing a LOT of the work, if not most, and we've been able to really get settled in such a short period of time (hens the lack of posts on here). The past month has consisted of trips to Home Depot and Orchard Supply Hardware (meaning we get Charleston

The final stretch is here...HOLY MOLY!   My boy is on his way and you know what made me feel like it was the most real?  Seeing photos on Facebook of a friend's baby born yesterday - my friend and I had the same due date!  I can't even believe it...I'm going to be holding this boy so soon...and then every day after that...forever!  Seriously, people, becoming a mom for

August 28 - September 3 This week went by really fast actually, and now the three day weekend is upon us!  This week we had our 38 week doctor's appointment, heard a healthy heartbeat, and learned that my body is getting ready for labor.  We finished up a few more things around the house and spent a few evenings just relaxing and watching shows - I'm really enjoying that

I'm posting these photos mainly because I think they're hilarious...and hideous...and again, hilarious.  Plus, the bump photos are quickly coming to an end.  I mean, I'm ready for some baby photos instead of bump photos, but this is all I have for now.   Two of these babes have already made their appearance by now and the other one won't arrive till January.  Being

38 weeks!!!! I can't even believe I'm this close to holding my little boy.  Where has the time gone? I'm finally feeling ready.  I've got my hospital bag packed, we put up the finishing touches to the nursery last week, we did our final shopping this weekend, and we even finished a few more projects around the house.  Not everything is done, of course, but we knew that wouldn't

August 21 - 27 Last night we played with husband's ninja turtles and he started to teach me what I'll need to know in raising boys.  I have MUCH to learn, but it was fun.  :) Happy weekend, friends!

This post is SO late, and therefore going to be photo heavy and content light. We took the entire week of the 4th of July off this year and spent it at the lake. IT. WAS. GLORIOUS. Most of my family was there, some people only joined for a couple days, but there was always lots of people to relax, play, and eat with all week.  This is definitely something husband and I want to do

It's here!!!!  We've officially reached full term, ladies and gentlemen, and we're at a place where our boy can come any day now and it would be totally ok. WHOA. However, the fact that he could just stay put for another month is kind of strange, too.  I mean, an entire month of the "be ready" period?  That's kind of a long time, don't you think?  I'm doing my best to

August 14 - 20 I totally cheated this week.  I forgot to take a photo one day so I posted two from Tuesday. Other than that, it's been an awesome week!  I have photos from two different date nights, my cute little nephews and niece, and the crib being set up!  So many exciting things... Tomorrow we'll be at my in-laws for a co-ed baby shower, so we're looking

I made this super simple list a while back just so I could have something to start crossing off (I love lists!).  I haven't updated it in awhile and I realized I can cross off so many things now! Buy a family car Move to a bigger place - the biggest, most exciting thing to check off! Register Set up nursery - still working on this, but it's getting there! Paint nursery dresser/

 I'm a little perturbed.  My mom and sisters threw me the most beautiful baby shower I've ever seen and... 1) I didn't get decent pictures because of the time of day and because I got distracted talking to people and over all the excitment 2) I edited some of these photos to look WAY better and for some reason they won't upload ...but, I'm finally getting to blogging this, so I'm

And right on time, folks! We've reached 36 weeks...less than a month till our boy's due date! Right now we're finishing up the nursery (our crib came in, yay!), making date nights a priority, and trying to wrap our heads around how much life is about to change. We have a doctor's appointment this week and then will start going once a week after that.  I still can't believe we've made

August 7 - 13 This week's photos have been really fun!  My sister asked me to help document the birth of her fourth babe, his coming home, and then her other kid's first day of school (while she was busy with the newborn), so there are a lot of her family (with of course, Benny thrown into the mix). Ready for another week!

OH HEYYYYY. So I skipped 3 weeks of bumpdates....OOPSIES.  And as you can see by these photos, I'm looking pretty haggard. Moving is exhausting.  Oh yeah, and being pregnant. And two of my sisters have had babies and I'd much rather hang with their cuties than take photos of my messy pony and tanks/boxer shorts.  You know what I'm sayin'? Anyways, I am still feeling pretty

July 31 - August 6 My niece, Lucy, starts off our week of photos this week.  And my sister ends the week with her almost delivery.  Hopefully I'll have a photo of my new nephew for next week's 365 Project post! Again, another week without posting a bumpdate or even a life update, for that matter.  I just haven't been in the mood to blog during the little time I'm

July 24 - 30 Barely getting this in and another week without a bumpdate post.  UGH! I will be better next week.  I'm getting BIG and I need to document it because I know I'll be so sad if I don't later on. Have a great weekend, friends!  Hopefully I'll be a better blogger next week. :)

July 17 - 23 This week has seemed like an eternity.  Last weekend we went on our babymoon and had such a great time - perfect mixture of relaxing and moving and definitely lots of good eating.  Then our week started again and I go back and forth on this being a stress-free move, to holy-crap-I-have-so-much-to-do-before-baby-comes kind of stressed.  Husband is super

July 10 - 16 This is the week of Benny sleeping.  During the days, I am either working, unpacking and organizing, or sitting and putting my feet up.  However, my camera sits by our bed, so before I put Benny in his own bed, I've taken a picture of him sleeping on ours.  Real exciting, I know...but it's the best I can do this week. On another note...we have a little

This is super late this week because over the weekend we finally got the keys to our new place and we have been busy moving and settling. Moving while pregnant is no joke!  My feet are KILLING me and I'm finding that it hurts to walk around barefoot (which I always do at home).  My neck is hurting extra, too, but that's not new - time to use that prenatal massage gift card I got

July 3 - 9 We get the keys to our new home today!!  Yippeeee!!!  Let the moving begin!

So I wanted to blog about the most beautiful baby shower thrown by some of my sisters and my mom, but for some reason, my photos are too big and I can't make my usual collages...so that will have to wait. For now, I wanted to share this photo from that day of 3 of my sisters, my sister-in-law, and me all standing in our due date order. That's right, my parents are getting 5 new grand babies

30 weeks!  That feels like a huge milestone for me. I'm starting to really feel large and in charge, but luckily still feeling really great.  I'm totally anticipating lots of discomfort, but haven't really experienced anything crazy yet.  I've been hoping to go on lots of walks to get ready for labor, but this heat is just killin' me - I really should just make it happen. &nbsp

June 26 - July 2 The week started off with my baby shower on Saturday (to be blogged soon) and then we headed to the lake for the week of the 4th of July...now it's time to celebrate America and family. We are officially in our happy place. Happy 4th of July weekend!
