Week 30: Symptoms :: Most evenings my back is so uncomfortable! My doctor confirmed what I thought and my belly is just getting bigger and that’s what’s causing it – so it’s totally normal. Emmaline enjoys sandwiching herself between my ribs and hips, so sitting still for a length of time becomes uncomfortable so I […]

letters to emmaline || 30 weeks in my belly
My sweet little girl, You are so active – your big sister never moved around as much as you do! You love to punch and kick me unexpectedly and it surprises me because it’s so strong. I’m trying to be more intentional about taking time to slow down and enjoy you in my […]
bump update :: week 29
Week 29: Symptoms :: I feel pregnant 😝 symptoms include occasional lower back pain (usually at the end of the day), waking up tired (can I just sleep for a day please?), being super hungry and then getting full quickly just to be hungry again later, and leaving the bathroom feeling like I still have […]
bump update :: week 28
Week 28: Symptoms :: Exhaustion. Sometimes I get super uncomfortable and nothing helps. And I can’t wear some of my maternity clothes anymore because they are too tight / not long enough. 😛 Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: A filling breakfast. Usually eggs, bread, fruit, orange juice, etc. Sleep :: I’ve accepted […]
bump update :: week 27
Week 27: Symptoms :: My mid-back (right at the bottom of my ribs) hurts occasionally (I’m guessing because my belly is getting heavier so my back muscles are being stretched more). I feel like I’m hungrier too… Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Good food! Haha so pretty much “nothing specific, as long […]
bump update :: week 26
Week 26: Symptoms :: A solid night sleep has been hard to come by lately, and I’ve had a couple moments of feeling very uncomfortable (which I remember feeling around this time with Rylie, so I know it’s “normal”). This is my last week in the 2nd trimester, and then we’re onto the final stretch. […]
my favorite moments from 2017
I feel like 2017 flew by – does anybody else feel that way? Looking back over the year, I can’t believe all that happened – all the joys, tears, plans and surprises! Here are the highlights of the Shaver Crew’s 2017 || We lost Roxie to a car 🙁 But we added […]
bump update :: week 25
Week 25: Symptoms :: Emmaline is definitely an active little one. She loves to move around and kick me. It’s so firm that it can be felt from the outside now. It’s getting uncomfortable to get up and down from places and bending over is a no go – squats all the way 😝 Food […]
bump update :: week 24
Week 24: Symptoms :: I’m very aware of my appearance these days but I think having a nice office job has instilled that in me as well because I need to look nice every day. My face is more “splotchy” so foundation is a must and I’ve started to lay out my outfit the night […]
letters to emmaline || 24 weeks in my belly
My dear Emmaline, Are you cozy in my belly? You’ve just started kicking me hard enough that I can feel it and it’s been so fun to feel you move around. At our ultrasounds, the tech tells us that you are very active, so I have a sneaky feeling you’ll be a very energetic […]
