Champagne & a Sippy Cup

I spoke too soon in my last bumpdate... time is no longer flying by, but it feels like it's never. moved. slower. Now that I'm down to 21 days until my due date, it feels like time has stopped. We still have lots to do before the baby comes, and with Christmas smack-dab in the middle of everything, I'm feeling incredibly underprepared and stressed. Part of me would like to go into labor tomorrow (the part that is constantly aching), but part of me wants Little Miss to wait u

Blame it on mom-brain or just being so stinkin' busy, but I missed the regularly scheduled 28-Week bumpdate, so here we are... 29 Weeks! I can't believe that in just 11 weeks our little girl will be here! There's so much that's going to change and we are all getting ready for the huge shift in daily routines and life as we know it. Fall is in full swing, and let me say... THANK GOODNESS! I'm no longer a grumpy, sweaty pregnant lady, but instead, I'm loving the cooler weather

Saying that we're headed down the homestretch seems a little premature, but honestly, we are. We're closer to rounding 3rd base, if you ask me! The last month has flown by. As we plan ahead for a busy fall, I know for a fact that the rest of the 16 weeks will go by in the blink of an eye. I'm trying to cherish every moment of being pregnant, knowing it's our LAST TIME (yes, mom, this is the last time!), but I am not a mom who truly loves being pregnant. Nevertheless, it's

Whoaaaa we're halfway there! Officially halfway through this pregnancy and I'm still blown away at how fast it's going. There has been a lot going on since we found out we are expecting another little girl. Mostly just trying to clean out our extra bedroom (read: junk room) to make a nursery, getting out all our baby clothes, and trying to decide on a name - which proves to be a lot harder this time around! I have a nice little bump going, and there's no hiding it! I feel lik

I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy is flying by! It's much less scary the second time around and I know what to expect (for the most part!) Although, this time, I have been thrown a few loops already. We are doing things a lot differently and everything is much more laid back for Baby #2. The most exciting thing so far since entering the 2nd trimester was having the blood work test done to find out the gender of our little peanut... only we don't know yet! In a week

The first 12 weeks of pregnancy are a DOOZY. No matter how you put it! Whew, time flies when you are nauseous all the time... When you are pregnant for the first time, you don't always know what you're in for. You hear horror stories and that it's "not that bad," and you quickly find out for yourself. This time around was massively different - being pregnant with a toddler is a whole new ballgame. I felt great when I was pregnant the first time- except for some normal exhaust
