i’m feeling blue
I'm not actually feeling blue. To be honest, I'm feeling really happy and productive lately. Leave it to the third trimester of pregnancy to surprise you sometimes.

pregnancy update | 30 weeks
Before I get too far into this post I'd like you to know that we took these pictures at about 6pm after a full day of wearing this white shirt and I didn't spill anything on it. Just want to make sure I recognize the true miracle that happened here today, #blessed. Ok, on to this weeks pregnancy update!

Happy Monday! Hope your Easter was hoppin'! I was going to skip doing an update this week since I'm up to my ears in other {probably} more important things but it's the third trimester and I've always been a really good procrastinator so what the heck, here goes!

pregnancy update | 27 weeks
Well friends, we've made it just about 2/3 of the way through this pregnancy. And by we I mean me because let's be honest, I've been doing all of the work over here. Ken and I got away for a little staycation this weekend {more to come on that later this week} and it felt great to get out and spend a little time alone. Just Kenny, me, and this bunch of bananas in my belly. If you'd like to hear what's been up with the bump over the past few weeks, read on...
A few weeks ago I was refilling my weekly pill organizers and I thought to myself, I wonder if other people would find this interesting? So I quickly documented which vitamins I take on a daily basis along with why I chose each one and shared it on Instagram stories. I got a ton of questions in response - which was amazing!

my very favorite maternity jeans
Let's be honest - it's hard enough to find good jeans when you're not pregnant let alone finding a good pair for an ever changing, ever growing body. It's something I've always struggled with in general {insert vivid memory of me crying in the junior department dressing room at Macy's when I was 13 because I could not find one pair of jeans that fit me} and it's why in my adult years I've definitely been drawn to dresses and skirts over jeans and pants. However, there are a lot of times when jeans are just the most practical option {like during a winter pregnancy, for example} and if you find yourself pregnant in almost any season you're going to want a good pair of maternity jeans.
I realize I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here what with nearly 14 weeks to go and all but there are actually ways you can start preparing your body for labor as early as your first trimester.

spring forward
Hello fellow parents of toddlers who are riding the struggle bus the day after daylight saving time! Just remember, we are all in this together {even though we are probably suffering separately}. After trying to get Annabelle to fall asleep tonight FOR AN HOUR I raised the white flag and called in reinforcements {Ken}. Now I'm sitting on the couch with a ridiculously large piece of chocolate cake and feeling pretty good about myself. This is parenting, friends. When there's not wine, there's cake.

Well friends, let me introduce you to my 6 month pregnant belly {and my blindingly white legs}. Despite the snow that just refuses to melt I've started to transition my wardrobe to spring in a major way. I also have been doing some major spring cleaning around our house and I'm getting eager to get started on the nursery. We still have some time but I'm not so secretly hoping the next few months fly by because I'm getting so excited to meet this little babe!
