Bean and the Stalk

Aren't the holidays the most magical time of the year? To be fair, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Even if I don't dress up, I love the weather that time of year and handing out candy. Plus I'm a huge fan of horror films and all things scary. In fact, I think one of the things I'm looking forward to most about motherhood is dressing up my child and doing a family themed Halloween costume (until he finds us un-cool and wants to do his own thing, at least). And I may or may not already have ... View Post

Hello from 26 weeks + 6 days! I can not believe that in one week I will be entering my third trimester. It's funny because when I follow celebrity pregnancies, they feel like they last eternity (do you know how agonizing the wait to see Kylie Jenner's baby was?) but I swear my own pregnancy has flown by. The first trimester I felt pretty nauseous and sick, but around 15 weeks I started to feel more like myself. Unfortunately my anemia has worsened with pregnancy and has me very tired and a bit ...

I'm writing this after our 10 day vacation in sunny South Florida! We got back a couple of days ago after spending almost two weeks down south relaxing by the pool, hanging with family and friends, and celebrating our baby boy.

And it was one of the most special days we've ever experienced! My mom and Heidy, with the help of some of my friends, ... View Post

I've been meaning to write this post for awhile now, and over the years of blogging, I've read so many pregnancy updates from other women, so I'm excited to write my own! I still refuse to call it a "bumpdate" though. And before we begin, I'm not just practicing for the baby by swaddling my dog... I'm also reading baby books, so don't worry. ;) But let's hope he loves me holding him like this more than Olive does. A little over a month ago I shared the exciting news that my husband and ...

Confession time: I am obsessed with keeping my teeth clean. Ever since I was a kid, I was always on top of my game when it came to taking care of my dental hygiene. In college I was the girl that would come home drunk from the bar at 3AM and no matter how tired I was or how much tequila I had, I always flossed and brushed my teeth. As my dentist says (which yes, I proudly repeat often because I'm a loser), I'm a "a 30-year-old unicorn" because I've never had a cavity. Knock on wood! But I ... View Post
