Well, to say this pregnancy has gone quickly would be an understatement. Although a lot of people say it has! I feel like I’ve been pregnant for 100 years…lol! Probably because I was pregnant for a few months, lost a baby, then got pregnant two months after that. It feels like forever. BUT- I’m not complaining I’m just excited to meet our girl and welcome her into the world. It’s something I never thought I would experience again in my lifetime, but God obviously knew we were missing a piece of our family and hearts.
I am not a glowy goddess when it comes to pregnancy unfortunately. I soooooo wish I was. I apparently have big babies and retain a TON of fluid so it makes for a great time indeed. I am so big that they’ve tested me for gestational diabetes THREE TIMES and I passed….but if I ever have to do that test again blech.
I’ve sort of taken a break from blogging. I’ve been reading a few books here and there. We are getting Heidi’s nursery ready and it looks so cute! I’m super excited for a little girl and all things pink and sparkly 🙂 I’ve been trying to take it easy, because let’s face it I’m no spring chicken anymore. The last few weeks of your pregnancy are the worst! Between the rib pain, hip pain, and overall discomfort I haven’t been getting much sleep. I guess that’s God’s way of preparing you for the sleepless nights to come. I am looking forward to having Starbucks fully leaded again and my body back.
Large and in charge 🙂
We had a good Father’s Day. We didn’t really do anything, but had a nice dinner at Shake Shack. My handsome boys. So thankful for them!
Here’s a little sneak peek of Heidi. She’s got some chunky cheeks. I remember her brother was quite the chunk too….so it’ll be interesting to see if they look alike.
Here is a sneak peek of Heidi’s nursery. I wanted to keep things really simple and bright. We painted the room a white-ish color and then started on pink accents. It’s not a huge room, but I’m so happy with how it turned out. I was thinking of putting the rocking chair in there….but I like it in the living room right now because I spend a lot of time there ha ha!
My friend Jenn made this beautiful painting and we just love it and will cherish it always!
I love how the changing table turned out. Changing the knobs makes ALL the difference.
I also bought this mirror to go over the changing table (I know it needs to be hung).
Baby girl clothes! Most of these were from my sister or friends, so we’ve already got a good amount of outfits for this baby.
I love this bow holder I found on Etsy. Again, a lot of bows were given to us too. I don’t know if she’ll have hair for awhile, but that’s what tape is for…lol! Just kidding!
Anyway, just a couple of more weeks and I can’t wait to meet our girl! We are all getting pretty excited!
Trying to think of some ways to get Connor prepared and make him feel special as well. He’s been an only child for over 9 years so I think it’s going to be an adjustment, but I also know he’s going to rock this big brother role. Any tips to help him prepare???
