At the end of each trimester with Rylie, I rounded up my favorite pregnancy things and would do a little recap of those weeks (you can check them out if you’d like – 1st trimester, 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester). I decided not to do that this time around, but instead I would do a round […]
Month: March 2018
thankful thursday #13
My company has given us Friday –> Good Friday off of work, so it’s only a 4 day work week – so you’d think time would be flying… it’s not. As we’re anxiously awaiting baby #2’s arrival, I think the days haven been purposefully going by slowly which is a bummer haha. But quite […]
random photos of rylie – march 2018
Rylie gets more and more fun every day. Now that she’s had over a month to practice walking, she is a pro and loves to walk whenever and wherever she can. This has allowed for a different set of adventures than we had even a month ago, which is so fun! I love watching her […]
bump update :: week 38
Week 38: Symptoms :: Occasional nausea, cramping, some contractions, lower back pain whenever I walk. I also feel like I’m more emotional lately, and I’m not sure if that’s pregnancy related or physical / emotional exhaustion kicking in. Probably both. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Nothing specific. I’ve actually become fairly passive […]
books i read in january, february & march 2018
A goal of mine was to read more in 2018, and when I got a library card early in January and found out they had an app where I could rent audio books – I was hooked! It’s been great for me to listen to these stories while I’m at work or in the car […]
letters to emmaline || 38 weeks in my belly
My active, brave, sweet Emmaline, Can you believe we’re in the final stretch? Less than 2 weeks until we get to meet you in person. It feels like our time together has gone by so quickly and yet it’s been so long at the same time! Daddy and I have been busy getting things […]
thankful thursday #12
This week was an awkward mix of fast but slow (you know, those times when Tuesday should be Thursday!?) And honestly, with baby #2 coming any day, I really am just taking each day as it comes and learning to be flexible in the process (make plans but knowing that they might get cancelled if […]

Week 37: Symptoms :: Crampy, crampy, crampy. And my back is constantly in discomfort (borderline pain) whenever I walk or move in bed. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific Food Cravings :: Nothing specific. Sleep :: I don’t sleep well 🙁 I’m up probably every 2 hours (maybe less) either going to the bathroom or cringing […]
our hospital bags (round 2)
I was completely clueless what to pack in my hospital bag as I was preparing for Rylie to come, but thanks to a mix of a paper my hospital gave me, Pinterest, blogs and friends, I threw something together and I feel like we survived our hospital stay splendidly and had most of what we […]
mommy & me date with rylie
On Wednesday (3.14.18) Aaron had a couple guy friends over to watch the new Justice League movie, so I took Rylie and we went out and had ourselves a little girls night. You’d be surprised how limited your choices are when you’re trying to make plans with a toddler in the evening. You can’t […]
