I wish I could say everything has been amazing since the day he was born and I wake up every morning with a huge smile on my face ready to take on every hardship motherhood has to offer.

Read MoreEvery month on the 23rd, I would count how many more months I had to go till I could hold my baby. After today, January 23rd, there is less than a month until my nugget makes his appearance. Holy crap, I need to say that again. One month. Or less than a month.
Read MoreAs I'm getting closer to the end of my pregnancy and finally feeling some of the pains of carrying another life for over 8 months now - I thought I would add a little humor in my long days of getting internally kicked around by a 5 lb chunker by writing this blog
Read MoreNot sure if this is just me or lots of other pregnant women, but I've recently noticed I spend much of my day having conversations with myself in my head. Yep, with MYSELF. Aka talking to myself. Asking ridiculous questions.
Read MoreWelcome to my 3 hour pregnancy glucose test! I can’t tell you enough how horrified I am this morning of getting poked 4 times, that nasty sugar drink and no food. Definitely much different and more intense than my one hour glucose test last week.

Since we're all high strung on baby fever, we took my mom and mother in law to Babies R Us to show them what we had put on the registry and I can't put into words how excited and giddy those two were. My mom wanted to buy everything off the rack that screamed cute (which was LITERALLY EVERYTHING).
Read MoreI can't believe I'm halfway through my 6th month of pregnancy. It's flying by so quickly! This baby bump has definitely popped again and the stretching of all my mid-muscles is getting quite painful. I still can't complain though, cause I've really enjoyed my pregnancy so far and it's been quite a breeze. I finally feel like I’m really pregnant. Like, there's no mistaking it as a sinfully large meal or me being weirdly disproportionate anymore. Thank the Lord. People don't ask me if I'm expecting anymore, they safely assume. Win for this prego!
