Hello! Happy Thursday! I’m slowly emerging from the newborn fog over here and wanted to do a post today sharing what’s been getting me through the last few weeks. The newborn phase is challenging and it’s one you somehow forget about as soon as it ends. Your body re-adjusts to functioning on little sleep and it takes some time to recover and get back into normal clothes. There have been a few things I’ve found to be lifesavers that I wanted to share.

Knit T-Shirt Dress
I’m 38.5 weeks pregnant and every day I think it could be my last day before baby boy is born. Not that I’m feeling 100% ready… but do you ever? I’ve also officially made it longer in this pregnancy than I did in my pregnancy with Crosby, as she was born at 38 weeks and 3 days! So wild to think about. I’ll definitely be trying to take advantage of this weekend in case it’s our last weekend as a family of 3!

Pregnancy Update: 36 Weeks
hat, sunglasses, dress, duster c/o, purse, shoes c/o
Well I’ve officially made it to 36 weeks pregnant which is considered 9 months! I still have about three and a half weeks before my official due date and I’m not so secretly hoping he stays in as long as possible. Just not too much over, ok? It’s been awhile since I gave a pregnancy update… and with the days dwindling by I figured it’s time!

Pregnancy Q&A
As of today I’m 35 weeks pregnant. I kind of can’t believe it! Crosby was born at 38 weeks and 3 days and that’s just so soon! I’m not feeling “ready,” but doubt I ever will. I am ready to not be pregnant anymore though!

Toddler Room Transition
A little over a week ago we finally bit the bullet and moved Crosby to her new room. We did it mid-sleep regression and are keeping her in the crib (for as long as she’ll let us) and so far it’s been pretty smooth. I do hesitate to even say that because babies and toddler seem to have a sixth sense… and just when you think everything is going well they throw a wrench in it for you. Fingers crossed it remains smooth!

Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day from the cutest little besties. Crosby gets more obsessed with Mackie every day so it was only fitting to do a little love day shoot with the two of them. I remember last Valentine’s Day so clearly and can’t believe it’s already been a year. Crosby was only 11 months old and we went shopping and mailed out her Bday invitations. This year we made Valentines and are going out to breakfast for heart shaped bagels. So crazy that next year I’ll have another little Valentine.

Baby Boy Nursery
Ever since my last post about baby boy, I’ve stepped it up and started getting the nursery plans in order. I wanted to do a post about what we’re getting and what we’re loving for his nursery.

Pregnancy Weight Gain
The quote from Mean Girls, “these sweat pants are all that fit me right now” has never suited my life more. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I dislike being pregnant in the winter. Especially this winter where it’s actually been cold and rained more than I’m used to and I’ve needed to bundle up. I know being pregnant in the summer comes with plenty of it’s own challenges, but I’d gladly trade stuffing my body into sweaters and sweatpants for the wardrobe options of the warmer months right now.
