I Wasn't Prepared For....

When you're pregnant you get told a lot of advice, stories, dos, and don'ts. Many people will tell you about their pregnancy and tell you to prepare for certain stages. Like prepare to completely break down when your shirts become belly shirts and your jeans don't go past your hips. Or to prepare for the crazy cravings that hit and you make your husband run to the store after a long day at work. You read all the books, articles, and download a hundred different pregnancy apps all to prepare you for what's ahead. 

I was prepared for every stage of pregnancy. 

Then the closer you get to your due date you'll start to prepare for labor. You'll decorate the nursery, plan baby's coming home outfit, and pack your hospital bag. You'll prepare for labor and delivery by taking a childbirth class and reading articles online. Or you'll watch birth videos on YouTube. 

I was prepared (as much as I could be) to give birth. 

But what I wasn't prepared for was for everything that happens after pregnancy. 

I wasn't prepared to feel such a deep love for someone I didn't even know. Or to shed so many tears. I wasn't prepared to fall even more in love with my husband by watching him turn into a father. Or to cry just by watching him take a million pictures because he just can't get enough of his little girl. I wasn't prepared to feel such a strong sense of being a mama bear. I do everything in my willpower to protect my baby and to keep her safe. 

I wasn't prepared for all the happy dances my husband and I would do over her little burps and for everytime there's a poopy diaper. Or saying bless you everytime we hear a little sneeze. I wasn't prepared for all of the lack of sleep but in those quiet hours of the night are times I cherish because I know one day will come when I won't be awoken and needed at night. 

I wasn't prepared to put someone else's needs before mine so much that I'll forget to eat but it doesn't matter as long as she is happy and taken care of. 

I wasn't prepared to feel a even more deeper connection with my husband as we both learn how to be parents and to figure things out together. Or that my love only grows stronger for him as he gently kisses her forehead everytime he holds her. 

I wasn't prepared to have to hold myself together watching someone prick her foot and squeeze blood out of it to check her jaundice levels every week. But I had to be strong for her because I knew she needed her momma for comfort. 

I wasn't prepared for all the struggles breastfeeding would bring. All the pain I knew. But I wasn't prepared for her to develop breastfeeding jaundice and to be losing weight, and having a doctor basically tell me I'm a horrible mom because it just seemed like she wasn't getting enough to eat. I was told to supplement countless times. Something in me just didn't feel right about formula and I knew breastmilk is the best thing for her.  So I didn't give up. And now her jaundice is almost gone and she's gaining weight. Newborn diapers are a thing of the past and she's now in 0-3 months clothes. 

I wasn't prepared for little eyes to look up at me and smile making my heart just explode. And to shed even more tears seeing her grow up right before my eyes. Or to just stare at her in awe of just how beautiful she is. 

I wasn't prepared for what motherhood would bring. Of course I have wanted to be a mom, probably my whole life. But there aren't any books or apps that prepare you for motherhood. It's just something you learn along the way.

God gave me his greatest gift, and I will always feel incredibly blessed that he chose me to be her mom. And I promise to my daughter that I'll be the best mom to her.

39 Weeks

Happy October!!!!

This little girl will be here THIS month! 

39 weeks. I can't believe that there's just ONE week until my due date! I'm beyond ready to meet this little girl. Each week that I get closer to my due date, just gets harder and harder on me. Pregnancy is an amazing thing, and besides being really sick for months. I have really enjoyed it. It is defiantly a blessing being able to carry a child and I have defiantly tried my best not to complain about to much. But these last few weeks are bringing on their own set of challenges. Not only do I feel stretched to the max, but she seems pretty comfortable in there and her kicks and punches are sometimes pretty painful which only adds to all the other pains I feel. I hope you're comfy because I had a pretty eventful day yesterday....


I went back and forth about whether or not I'd share this. But I decided I would since this is my pregnancy journey and being a first time mom, I really don't know what to expect! 
Wednesday morning I woke up feeling pretty crappy. I felt sick to my stomach and had back pains along with what felt like period cramps that started to come and go. But I had a chiropractor appointment in the morning so I figured I just needed adjusted. Well afterwards I did feel better. But around the afternoon the pains came back pretty frequently and I did start to wonder what was going on. I felt more sick and really dizzy than before. For the past few weeks I have been getting Braxton hicks contractions. But they haven't really hurt or bothered me, until yesterday. They were starting to get a little more painful than before. And wouldn't stop. I know that I wasn't in true labor but I was just feeling really off. So I called my doctor and told them everything I was feeling. Also, I noticed that she wasn't moving as much as she usually does..so that was kind of a concern too. And they decided that it was best that I go to the hospital to get monitored to see what was going on. So I called Caleb and he left work early to pick me up. And we headed to the hospital. So I got hooked up to all the machines which was super fun...but as soon as they put the straps on my belly, she went crazy and starting kicking them. It was hard for them to get them in the right place because of her. Finally she calmed down and they got them on right. Obviously, I wasn't in labor. But my blood pressure was pretty high and I was having contractions that were registering but they weren't intense or had a pattern. So after about 2 hours we were sent home after my blood pressure returned to normal. I was kind of embarrassed that it was more of a false alarm, but my doctor said something that made me feel a lot better. She said that I did the right thing coming in because even though I'm a first time mom, I know myself better than anyone else and could tell I just didn't feel right. And she said that even though I'm not in labor yet, it's getting close. The baby's head is lower and things are thinning out down there. So I really hope she is going to come soon. I'm still feeling pretty crappy and having on and off pains with a lot of pressure. 

Now that was a pretty lengthy update about one day...here's the weekly one :) 

How far along? 39 Weeks

Total weight gain: 27+ I haven't gained anything this past month. Which is odd since she's gaining weight every week! 

Maternity clothes? Defiantly! I don't think I could survive without them! Also yoga pants and leggings. 

Stretch marks? Not yet! They say you can get them in the last few weeks...so I'm hoping I don't. I'm constantly putting Vitamin E oil on my stomach. But my stomach has felt super sore so I'm not sure if they'll show up or not. 

Sleep: After my crazy day one Wednesday...I got the best sleep I have in months! I actually slept for about 4.5 hours straight! I don't really feel rested, but it was so nice not waking up every hour or two. 

Best moment of this week: A few things that we've been praying for have come our way! Even though I blog, I'm still pretty private what happens in my day to day life. But I'm just feeling really blessed this week. And of course it's the week before my due date! So it's just exciting. 

Miss anything? I'm honestly so ready to have my body back. Between being super uncomfortable 24/7 now and just feeling large, I have hit the point where I'm done. I'm sure most moms at this stage will agree! 

Movement: Yes! And goodness is she one strong little girl. My entire belly is constantly sore lately, and I assume it's because of her constantly moving and jabbing her limbs everywhere she possibly can. Little one, I know there's not enough room in there but please be nice to you momma. 

Food cravings: None. I honestly don't even care for food. But I do find myself extremely thirsty and craving drinks. Probably explains why I haven't gained to much. I really can only stomach three small meals. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: As long as I avoid meat I'm okay. But I just don't have an appetite. 

Gender: A little princess! 

Labor signs: Braxton hicks contractions. And the doctor confirmed that she has dropped! So last week I defiantly wasn't just seeing things. I know "dropping" really doesn't mean labor is about to happen. But it's a good sign that she's getting into the right position! But I'm of course praying it means she'll be here soon. And also all the things I explained earlier. 

Symptoms:  Pressure! And a lot of it. I may have a small pregnancy swag going on lately. But with her head pretty down low and also pressing on my bladder, it's a bit uncomfortable to walk. These past few days I have been getting headaches. Which is something new because I haven't gotten a single headache since I've been pregnant. 

Belly button in or out? It seems to be out/flat

Wedding rings on or off? Off...I have a different ring that I'll wear out. Oh how I can't wait to wear my rings again! 

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm seriously a basket full of emotions lately. Anything makes me teary eyed! I'm super moody too. My poor husband seems to get all of it. And I know it's not his fault, but for some reason him sleeping at night just really makes me mad! Ok, I know the reason. Because I'm awake and he's happily sleeping! 

Looking forward to: To meeting this little girl! Seriously little lady, you can come like now ^_^

What's in My Hospital Bag

I have FINALLY finished packing my hospital bag. It's only taking me a few weeks. I think I started it about a month ago. But I've been so indecisive on what to bring. So I finally decided that if I happen to need anything, our hospital is super close to our house and stores. So no need to sweat the small details. 

I seriously love this Thirty-One duffel bag. My mother-in-law is a Thirty-One consulted and she gave us this bag as a gift. Of course it had to have our last name on it! 

ANYWAYS here is what I am bringing with us. There is also things that I didn't take pictures of but I'll note them down below. Just like with our baby's hospital bag, I may have overpacked and won't use half the stuff I bring. But I'll know for next time. And I'll defiantly write a post about what we ended up using and what we didn't need. 

 Pictured Above: Breast Pads, Pads, Nipple Balm, & Spray bottle.

I did learn that my hospital provides breast pads, and they give me a recovery goodie bag that will have pads and stuff. But I bought these before I knew, so I'll take them just because. 

Pictured Above: Shampoo & Conditioner, q-tips(mainly for hubby because he HAS to use them everyday) Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, body wash, deodorant, lip balm, and face wash. 

The necessities. I read that showering after giving birth is amazing. And I wanted to be able to shower with my own products. All found at Target. 

 Pictured Above: Towels and washcloths. 

Because hospitals weird me out, I want to bring my own towels and washcloths. Plus mine are super soft. Also I LOVE Norwex body cloths, I use them for my face and they remove eye makeup so well. Defiantly needed. 

Pictured Above: Super soft robe- Found at Target.

I plan to wear this robe after labor and delivery. I figured I'll want something soft and comfortable, but cute for when we have visitors. And I also do not want to spend the entire time in a hospital gown. 

Pictured Above: Yes this is my makeup bag.

Yes I plan to wear makeup

and yes I probably sound crazy. 

Pictured Above: Ipad, Macbook Air, & Charger

I have specific apps on my iPad that I plan on helping me relax during labor. And I'm bringing my Mac for the same reason. *Not pictured-Our phones of course! 

Pictured Above: Pillow and blanket

These are mainly for my hubby, so he will have some things to keep him comfortable for our overnight stay. 

Not Pictured

1. Clothes for my husband

2. My outfit that I'm wearing to go home in

3. Underwear( Because who wants to see that?) 

4. Flip Flops to shower in

This is what I've decided to bring. And our bags are all packed up and waiting for the big day! 

Cheers! <3 

38 Weeks

38 weeks
2 weeks to go
14 days!!!!

Happy 1st day of Fall!! I love fall. Just the season is so pretty with the changing leaves, all of the pumpkin and fall flavors, and of course we will have a fall baby! So much excitement for this time of year. 

I don't know how much bigger this girl is going to get, but my insides literally feel like there's no room left. And I really hope she comes soon. But I do know that being a first time mom that it's very common to go past the due date. And she will come on her own time. 


Monday night was my last night teaching dance until she's here. I love teaching, but when you are off balance and have a bowling ball infant of you. It just isn't fun. Plus I can't move like I normally would and well, you get the idea. I can't wait to go back to the studio though! And bring her with me of course. 

Lately I've been feeling pretty heavy and huge. So at dance I decided to take a picture and compare. 

The picture on the left was just 3 weeks ago. And the one on the right was Monday. There's a difference but not what I expected! I feel like I LOOK smaller and my belly is just pointing out more. It's so crazy how much your body changes during pregnancy.

How far along? 38 Weeks

Total weight gain: 27+

Maternity clothes? Defiantly! I don't think I could survive without them! 

Stretch marks? Not yet! They say you can get them in the last few weeks...so I'm hoping I don't. I'm constantly putting Vitamin E oil on my stomach. But my stomach has felt super sore so I'm not sure if they'll show up these last few weeks. 

Sleep: I don't even know that word means anymore. 

Best moment of this week: Caleb and I spent the day together in Gettysburg. Just shopping and wondering around. Since it's going to be a long time before we will just have us time. I know we will make time for us, but it'll just be different. We won't be able to wake up one morning and be like spur of the moment we are taking a day trip. 

Miss anything? SLEEP! Seriously...I can't even sleep for two straight hours. And don't even dare to tell me to get used to it at this point because I probably will just look at you like you're crazy. 

Movement: Yes! And I've noticed that she moves more when her daddy is around. During the day if he's working, she's pretty calm. But as soon as he gets home she has a party. It's honestly so adorable. 

Food cravings: None. I honestly don't even care for food. But I do find myself extremely thirsty and craving drinks. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: As long as I avoid meat I'm okay. 

Gender: A sweet baby girl! 

Labor signs: Braxton hicks contractions. I have been feeling some minor cramping. But I don't really think they're signs. I'm sure this girl is going to come when we least expect it. 

Symptoms:  Achy back...I even have gone to the chiropractor but it only helps a little bit. Super stuffy and runny nose. I sound like I'm sick all the time. And I have to pee ALL the time now. 

Belly button in or out? It seems to be out/flat

Wedding rings on or off? Off...I have a different ring that I'll wear out. But I'm so scared that my fingers will randomly swell and I won't be able to get my wedding & engagement ring off...

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm seriously a basket full of emotions lately. Anything makes me teary eyed! 

Looking forward to: To meeting this little girl! Seriously little lady, you can come like now ^_^

Third Trimester Must Haves

As I'm almost done being pregnant(wow that felt weird to type) I decided to make a list of third trimester must haves. Just like this one I did for the second trimester. The third trimester can be the ultimate challenge out of all the trimesters. With the aches and pains, lack of sleep, huge belly, and the urge to pee ALL THE TIME. But you have to remember, you're in the final home stretch and soon it will all be a distant memory when you're holding your sweet little baby. 

If you got through the first trimester, you can get through the third! 


These are things that I have found helpful for me in these last few months.   



Third Trimester Must Haves

1. Vitamin E Oil- I have noticed that my belly is the most itchy thing ever in the last trimester, which obviously makes sense because that's when it stretches the most. Along with it being itchy, it'll feel super sore, almost bruised and putting lotion on just makes it worse. The oil is nice because it just glides on. I use this morning and night. And sometimes throughout the day if it's bothering me. Currently I don't have any stretch marks! Hopefully that continues. 

2. Yoga Pants and Comfy Shirts- When I'm at home, I live in comfortable pants and shirts. You have a growing belly that is uncomfortable most of the time, so it's a good idea to invest in comfortable but cute clothes. Plus you will want them after the baby is here.

3. Flip Flops- If you're lucky like me, and get to be pregnant during the summer, shoes will become pretty hot and uncomfortable. Also since swelling happens during these last months you will want shoes that don't squeeze your feet. Also, have you ever tried to tie shoes while being 8-9 months pregnant? It's almost impossible and it's better to just go with shoes that slip on. 

4. Raspberry Leaf Tea- There is a lot of information about the benefits of drinking this tea in  your third trimester. First of all, NO it does NOT bring on labor...it seriously bothers me so much when people say it does. It tones and prepares your uterus for delivery and can help shorten labor. Now for some it doesn't work, which is fine. Of course I haven't found out if it works for me or not. If it does, great, if it doesn't, great. At least I tried! 

5. Tums- Horrible heartburn...need I say more? 

6. Cheese Sticks- Or any healthy snack. Because when you have a growing baby taking up all of the room, there's not much space for your stomach. And eating big meals just doesn't sound as appealing. It's best to stock up and healthy snacks! My favorite is cheese sticks because they have calcium and protein. 

7. Kleenex- I carry tissues with me everywhere because my nose is constantly running. Between allergies and pregnancy related symptoms I don't have much of a break. Most pregnant woman complain of stuffy & runny noses in their third trimester. So it's best to have these handy. 

8. Cute Water Bottle- I have such an unquenchable thirst, I feel like I can't drink enough. Apparently it's normal this late in pregnancy. So I got a cute water bottle since I would be using it 24/7. Plus it's super important to stay hydrated. 

9. A Treat- You've dealt with morning sickness, fatigued, embarrassing symptoms, and etc. You deserve to treat yourself. My treat of choice would be Starbucks. I crave their iced coffees ALL the time. I tried making them at home, but it's just not the same. My little girl is addicted to Starbucks...and she isn't even born yet! I don't have one everyday, but probably once a week. 

34 Weeks

34 weeks!
Baby is the size of a butternut squash...have you seen those? Those aren't tiny by any means..
I now start my WEEKLY doctor appointments. Which is crazy because it has come so soon.
Also babies born at 34 weeks and on usually have no health problems. Which is defiantly a relief. But little girl can stay in there longer for sure!

How far along? 34 Weeks

Total weight gain: I honestly don't have much of a clue. I forget what I weigh after each appointment! And quite frankly when I step on a scale...my belly is in the way and I can't see! 

Maternity clothes? Defiantly, I want to be comfortable these last few weeks.  

Stretch marks? Not yet! Still applying Vitamin E oil and Palmer's Stretch mark lotion every morning and night. 

Sleep: It would be great if I didn't have to wake up and pee so much. I tried to stop drinking water around 7 pm. But I am just so thirsty all the time that I've given up and just drink as much as want. Either way I still have to pee. 

Best moment of this week: Completing a few to-do lists! I have her hospital bag all packed and ready to go, just need to finish ours. 

Miss anything? Feeling comfortable and being able to sleep all night long. 

Movement: Yes! I there's nothing better <3 Even with her kicks feeling pretty painful, I still enjoy them. 

Food cravings: Iced coffee....well more specific. Starbuck's Caramel Ribbon Crunch...oh it is heaven in a cup. Other than that I really don't have any food cravings. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really.  

Gender: A sweet baby girl! 

Labor signs: Nothing except braxton hicks contractions

Symptoms:  Sore back and my sciatic nerve seem to be acting up. I go to the Chiropractor every other week and it does help. Heartburn that is awful...I have to chew about 4 tums to calm it down. My favorite is waking up in the middle of the night with a burning sensation in my throat.

Belly button in or out? It's still an innie-outie but more on the flat side. But it pops out when she's laying right there. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and off. If I'm at home I won't wear them. But when I go out I will because I just hate not having anything on my finger. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy. But I do have mood swings that occur once in awhile. 

Looking forward to: September! It's going to be a pretty busy month between more baby showers and birthdays. My sister-in-law and I are planning our other sister-in-laws baby sprinkle and I'm SO excited to see how it's going to turn out. It's a surprise theme so I can't really share any details yet. AND it's the last full month until we meet our little girl!! 

33 Weeks

33 Weeks!
Baby is the size of a cauliflower or a cantaloupe. and weighs anywhere from 4 to 4 1/2 lbs. 


I haven't talked about something they found at my 20 week appointment because they said it really wasn't an issue unless nothing changed in 10 weeks. So therefore I didn't feel the need to bring it up. At my 20 week appointment everything was good with baby but they found my placenta was to close to my cervix...which means when the day came for delivery I wouldn't be able to push the baby out so I would have to schedule a c-section. Which is something I did worry about because I just don't want a c-section. I know things happen and  who knows I may have to get one. But I rather it not be planned. Which sounds weird but that's just how I feel about it. Anyways over the past 10 weeks I just had a good feeling that it would move up. Plus the doctors told me that 98% of the time it moves on its own. So we got good news Friday that everything looks good! Even though I had a feeling, it was really nice to get good news that I'm good to go! 
Besides the good news, we of course got to see our little girl. And had it confirmed that she is indeed still a girl...hey I've heard stories so I just need reassurance! But the ultrasound tech did a few 3D shots by surprise and it was so amazing. Seeing our little girl just makes it all more real. During the whole ultrasound she wouldn't keep her hands out of her mouth and away from her face. No matter what I did to try and get her to move. She's defiantly a little stubborn girl. 
So here's a glimpse at our little girl

You can see her little mouth open and she has her arm and hand going right for it. Of course I got teary eyed as we watched her on the screen and realizing that in just 7 weeks we will get to see her face and kiss those cheeks is just an indescribable feeling. 

I made a separate post sharing my baby shower here!

How far along? 33 Weeks

Total weight gain: I honestly don't have much of a clue. I forget what I weigh after each appointment! 

Maternity clothes? Defiantly, I want to be comfortable these last few weeks.  

Stretch marks? Not yet! Still applying Vitamin E oil and Palmer's Stretch mark lotion. 

Sleep: It would be great if I didn't have to wake up and pee so much. And with waking up at 5 am just doesn't make for a good nights sleep. 

Best moment of this week: Getting a surprise 3D ultrasound! And of course just seeing our little girl, getting completely pampered, and my baby shower! I had quite an eventful but amazing weekend. 

Miss anything? Feeling comfortable and being able to sleep all night long. 

Movement: Yes! I there's nothing better <3 

Food cravings: I still don't have any cravings right now. I can't think of a single food that I could really go for. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really.  

Gender: A sweet baby girl! 

Labor signs: Nothing except braxton hicks contractions

Symptoms: Sore back and ribs. Just feeling uncomfortable especially in the evenings. I have also had a lot of congestion and my sinuses have been killing me. I don't know if it's the weather or just pregnancy since that can happen. 

Belly button in or out? It's still an innie-outie but more on the flat side. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and off. If I'm at home I won't wear them. But when I go out I will because I just hate not having anything on my finger. 

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm pretty happy for the most part! Except if I'm tired or uncomfortable. Then I can be a little moody. 

Looking forward to: Checking off all of the things on our list that need done before she's here! I'm almost done...we just need a few more things. 

30 Weeks

I have reached 30 weeks! The final countdown!

Is this real life? In just a short 10 weeks we will meet our baby girl.

I feel so unprepared, yet I just want her here now. We still have a lot to do and things we need to get. Lately I've been making lists because I can't keep track of everything. 

I know I'm reaching a point of feeling so indecisive about everything. Like our baby registry, one moment I feel like we have enough, then the next I feel the need to add more. 

Funny thing, I got a call from my doctors on Friday, well when I saw their number my heart started racing because I thought that they probably forgot to call me and I actually failed my glucose test! Well thankfully I did not fail it, but I do have really low iron. Which I've been thinking that this entire pregnancy but for some reason it just now showed up in my blood work. It totally explains a lot. I never gained my energy, I always feel so tired, and lately I've been feeling pretty weak. So now I have to take iron supplements and I just hope they help me more than hurt because I know iron can be hard for your body to absorb.

Even though I'm lacking energy, I have this weird need that everything needs to be ready and be in it's place. I can't stand anything being a mess or clutter. I find myself constantly cleaning...even when there isn't anything to clean. I guess this is what they call the nesting phase? We still need so much for her that it's starting to drive me crazy. I'm glad my baby shower is just a couple weeks away. That way we will hopefully have most of what we need! After that we are going to get everything ready. I've never been so excited to pack a bag in my life! 

Since I'm 30 weeks, I figured I'd do a little reminiscing and what I looked like at 20 weeks. 
There's such a huge difference in just 10 weeks! And I thought I was showing then. I'm always just so amazed at how much my belly changes.

30 Weeks!

How far along? 30 Weeks

Total weight gain: I honestly don't remember what I weighed at the doctors...I was talking to the nurse and didn't even look at the scale. But they said I'm still at a good weight! 

Maternity clothes? Yes! I have reached that point in pregnancy that normal clothes are just to uncomfortable and they fit weird. In general I'm very picky how it comes to clothes fitting me, so it's no surprise that being pregnant it's now even worse. Thank goodness I finally ordered a few shirts and a pair of jeans from PinkBlush Maternity..can't wait until those come in! 

Stretch marks? Not yet! Fingers crossed they stay away. 

Sleep: One night it's terrible, the next it's pretty bearable. But of course still waking up to pee every few hours. 

Best moment of this week: Celebrating my birthday! Caleb had the whole weekend off, and the day of my birthday. So it was so nice to get to spend that time together. We had just a small party, but I'm really not feeling up to much social gatherings at this point. 

Miss anything? Not to much, just feeling comfortable in clothes again. 

Movement: Yes! It's my favorite. Even when she moves in an uncomfortable way for me, I don't mind. I just really don't know when this girl sleeps because she's moving all throughout the day, and when I'm up at night. She's up wiggling all around. I can't figure out if me laying on my side really gets to her because she moves and kicks SO much. 

Food cravings: I really don't have a craving for anything in particular this week. The only thing I find myself really wanting is an Iced Caramel Latte. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: I can't quite figure out what's been bothering me lately. But I just haven't felt to good. Maybe between the heat and normal pregnancy symptoms are getting to me. But I'm really hoping and praying that this isn't a third trimester thing.

Gender: A sweet baby girl! 

Labor signs: Nothing except braxton hicks contractions

Symptoms: A lot of aches and pains, especially in my ribs and back. I'm getting to be pretty uncomfortable no matter what. I sit...uncomfortable, stand..uncomfortable, lay down...uncomfortable. It's been pretty tough lately to just sit and relax. Also I'm so exhausted that I could just sleep a whole day away. 

Belly button in or out? Well when little miss likes to poke it out, it is out. Otherwise it's still an innie-outie. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and off. If it's a humid day, there's no way. I think I'm going to get a fake set of rings just so I constantly have something on my finger. I hate not wearing my rings. Especially since I love mine so much. And I've had a ring on my finger so many years it's way to weird not having anything. 

Happy or moody most of the time: In between. I have days where I'm in a great mood. Than other days I'm not. 

Looking forward to: Our Maternity photoshoot! We have our first scheduled for Friday evening! I can't wait.
