Our non-blogish, blog

Well...I promised my mother 20 weeks ago that I would start this, a space to update, keep track of and share with all of my loved ones on the happenings of my pregnancy. But, well, I guess to start the theme of motherhood...I got BUSY. So here we are, only 8 weeks to go and I'm just getting started. I hope you enjoy the updates and sharing in these next few weeks while we await the arrival of our sweetest LBP. 

Let's begin with the basics:

• I will often refer to this growing human inside of me as: LBP- Little Baby Preyers and sometimes nugget
• I am due March 28, 2015- this would put me right at 31 weeks and 4 days
• We did not find out what the sex of the baby is, we're having a baby, that's all we know! 

I'm going to try and keep things pretty simple. I'll try to include a picture, some updates and a little humor for you. If you have questions, or comments feel free to leave them in the convenient comment section below or email me. 

How far along: 31 weeks

Gender: Waiting on the best surprise of our lives!  

Maternity clothes: I've been wearing mostly maternity jeans since 22 weeks and a few tops. I mostly am in workout or lounge clothes at home and thank you sweet Jesus for leggings. 

Stretch marks: None! 

Belly button in or out: In, and I don't think it will pop 

Sleep: Sleeping well minus this last week and the cold I brought home from Michigan. I think I kept Brian and the neighbors up with my nose blowing, bathroom trips and tossing and turning! oops. 

Best moment this week: Making some progress on nursery decisions. All of our boxes have arrived from our shower in Michigan (which I will share more about later) and we can't wait to organize and put everything away

Worst moment this week: Realizing once again, I need bigger sports bras! To those I've ever said I wanted bigger boobs to, I lied, TAKE THEM! 

Miss anything: I miss fitting into all of my clothes, especially my workout tops. It's also no surprise, but I REALLY miss a tall bottle of WINE! 

Movement: Yes! Tons of movement, lots of rolling around and I think LBP finally understands when it's sleep time. 

Cravings: I wouldn't call them cravings, but more things I enjoy that I never used to eat like Popsicles, Pop-Tarts, Cereal, and Candy. Obviously, not the healthiest things, but everything in moderation. 

Queasy or sick: I've been VERY lucky to feel no sickness this whole pregnancy, but food aversions are a real thing. Red meat and sometimes fish are a total turn off. 

Looking forward to: The big 3-0 this Friday! I always knew I'd be pregnant on my 30th birthday. Something deep down told me that this is when I'd be pregnant. 

This is from Christmas and I've grown even since then! 

Here are a few more from my amazing San Diego photo shoot with my friend Sarah. She does amazing work and you can visit her site here.

I hope you enjoyed these few updates, I plan to update this weekly so come back often to check things out. Stay warm wherever you are and thank you for all of your love and support!
