Lifestyle and Fashion Blog
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.

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!

Happy April! I can’t believe it’s baby month! I’m due exactly two weeks from today, so it could happen any minute now. Insane! I keep thinking how Crosby was born 11 days early and wondering if baby brother will follow suit. I’m fine with him taking another week or so. Anyway, we’ve been having the best spring weather. I went back for this dress in yellow and am so happy I did.

I’ve been doing a lot of my “maternity” shopping at Forever 21. I posted about it here a few weeks ago but went back for more last week and thought I’d update you! It’s seriously the best place to buy bump friendly dresses. I typically go a size up and they’re still fitting me at 37 weeks. Here’s a little rundown of what I’ve bought recently.

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!

I’ve officially reached the point in this pregnancy where unless it’s absolutely necessary I’m not going to wear pants/jeans. Leggings or dresses from here on out. I was so excited to get this pretty blue …
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!
wardrobe details

Over the weekend I was feeling so blah and uninspired with the current rotation of things that fit me. I decided to shop my closet, if you will, and put together this look with pieces that are all a couple of years old. Sometimes I think I have these pregnancy wardrobe delusions where I put something on thinking it will still fit the way it did a few months/weeks/days ago and then get frustrated when that’s not the case. So I went back to some old faithfuls that worked my first pregnancy and was happy and comfortable all day.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about baby shower dress inspiration and thought it would make for a fun blog post. Early on in my pregnancy I decided I wasn’t having a shower this time around. I was pregnant with Crosby exactly two years ago and was blessed with two beautiful showers for her. We have a lot we can reuse on baby boy and I’m often sent new products to try out. There’s really no need for another shower.

I’m now 30 (almost 31) weeks pregnant so I thought I’d give another little update. This pregnancy has been pretty easy all things considered and is really just flying by. If I had it my way I’d turn back time and get started on things a little sooner… since that’s impossible we’re just going to have to jam from here on out.
