Week 35

As you can see by the state of our living room, I have been hard at work. So much so that I almost didn’t take a photo this week (in two days I will be 36 weeks!). If you could see behind the camera you would see several stacks of empty boxes with the tripod [...]

New Home!

The past week has been a bit of a whirlwind for me. It has been both stressful and rewarding. In my last post I mentioned my itchy legs. Well, that mild irritating itch turned into a full blown rash starting at my ankles and going just past my knees. I ended up going into the [...]

Week 34

I know you have seen this dress twice before in my weekly photos, but I can’t help it–it is so comfortable! I bought it at Motherhood Maternity on clearance and have been practically living in it ever since. I really can’t wait to get out of maternity clothes and back into shape. I have so [...]

Happy 30th Darling!

Vintage us – 2008 Today was my sweet husby’s 30th birthday. I would have loved to have thrown him an amazing party to celebrate with friends, but at eight and a half months pregnant, I really don’t have the energy for all that. Instead I bought him a gigantic bottle of Jack Daniels (got some [...]

The Burbs

Russ and I both moved out of the suburbs nearly seven years ago when we moved out of our parent’s houses and first moved in together. After living in the city for only a short while I decided I was there to stay. Somewhere in the back of my mind I formed an opinion that [...]

Week 33

This belly is getting HUGE. It is so hard to do some of the simplest things these days, and I am constantly bumping into things with it. Poor baby is going to come out with bumps and bruises the way I am going!! This is one of my favorite dresses, and for the first half [...]

Week 32

32 1/2 weeks! The night before last we got the baby crib that we received at the baby shower set up in our bedroom. We live in a one bedroom apartment, so baby will be in our room. Luckily we have a pretty spacious room, plus I like the closeness that sharing our room will [...]

Baby Shower

It is funny to think about how simple things just wipe me out nowadays. Yesterday I was thrown a lovely baby shower–and today I feel like an absolute zombie! My own was the first baby shower I have ever been to. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I had a really great time [...]

Week 31

I almost forgot to take and post a picture this week. Look how big that belly is, it really is surreal! Each day baby’s kicks seems to get bigger and stronger–sometimes it downright hurts! I love that I can now see where her little feet and hands are when she gives me a little jab, [...]

Crib Quilt

The quilt is finished! It feels so good to finally cross something off my baby to-do list. Russ and I went and picked out this blue/green fabric for the back of the quilt over the weekend. It took a little more work to decide on the color of bias tape to use around the edge. [...]
