OFF SHOULDER SWEATER // sz S SLOAN PANT // 0P •  LIP BUTTER • T3 MICRO


Hello third trimester! I honestly can't believe how much time has flown by. It's unbelievable the journey Aaron and I have gone through when we look at ultrasound pictures of little Blueby and myself as we've both grown exponentially.

BODY CHANGES: Even though I'm a nurse and are aware of all the changes, it's definitely different to experience it first hand. I've officially lost my belly button and now waddle everywhere like a penguin. Insomnia has definitely set in and Blueby has officially taken over much of my torso real estate. I've started to get sciatic pain on both sides and get overheated easily.

BABY DEVELOPMENT: Blueby has grown to the size of a pomelo, she's at least two pounds and fifteen inches long. She gets excited after every meal and likes to have a slumber party every night at eleven o'clock. She likes to greet us good morning with an elbow or kick at sunrise. She loves when Aaron and I sing to her - so there's always a Disney musical happening whenever I'm in the shower.

Aaron and I finally set up the crib - but with our focus on trying to finish up all the house renovations before she gets here, that's all we currently have in the nursery.

I finally caved and bought what I thought was maternity pants, however, they were just fold over yoga pants! I unfolded the top hem to cover my belly and it works just as great as maternity pants, not to mention they were only $10! Lots of stretch and the fabric is extremely soft - FOLD OVER YOGA CAPRI.





I also found this soft cross over nursing top above for when baby arrives and I breast feed. My belly has grown so big that I had to get a belly band [below] and to try to prevent stretch marks and back pain. I've also been using very thick shea butter and staying hydrated.



Aaron and I were supposed to go on a cruise to the Caribbean this week, but my OB had us cancel. I was bummed about it because I was so excited to show off my baby bump wearing the cutest bandeau bathing suit [below]. It also comes in black, gray, blue, white.

The one thing I've noticed during pregnancy is how confident I've felt with my body. I've never been comfortable in a bathing suit, but somehow I am now with my bump hanging out. Maybe it's also apathy because I just keep growing?

BEAR HOODIE / LEGGINGS SET // sz 3-6 MONTHS


I wanted to wait to go shopping until late in my pregnancy, so when Black Friday arrived, we went on a baby spree for warm pieces, including the one above. Our nursery theme is Three Little Bears, so there was a lot of animal themed gear.

We also registered at Amazon, making it really easy to add all the baby basics we need. Amazon also sends sends out a care package for future parents to be. Products may vary but loved everything we received below!

  10. Thank you Meach! I’m trying to be as honest as possible so that someone else new to pregnancy knows what to expect - which is something I found really helpful.
