3 Ways to Make PostPartum Recovery Easier
They say that you forget about the pains from labor when you hold your baby. I wouldn’t exactly agree with that. I distinctly remember the back labor pains from my daughter. However, after having two kids, I didn’t remember
Bump Update: 39 and 40 Weeks
I figured I would combine the two weeks this time since my due date is Sunday. Can you believe you have {hopefully} been reading along throughout my entire pregnancy? Both Maggie and Charlie were born 4 days past my due date, so let’s see what this little one decides to do. I’m still feeling pretty…
Bump Update: Week 38
I’m not sure I have much to update about this week, although I’m writing the post earlier in the week than usual, so I suppose that could change. Last Thursday Maggie came down with a stomach bug and spent a few hours sick. Then that night, Charlie got sick. He got really sick, poor guy.…
Bump Update: Week 37
So after I wrote last weeks post, we had our 36 week check up. Turns out I’m dilated to a 1, 20 % effaced and baby is at a -3. While I know none of that means anything just yet, it made me wonder a bit. I’ve never actually known I was at a 1…
5 Must Have Items to Pack in Your Hospital Bag+ Everything Else I am Packing
*May include affiliate links* After having 2 kids, there has still been something I forget when I head to the hospital. Perhaps that is because I don’t pre pack it for the most part, and then when it is time, I just throw a few things into the bag and go. There were some things…
Bump Update: 36 Weeks
So, I missed posting an update last week again. It was kind of a crazy week around here. That’s for sure. Getting ready for Maggie’s 4th birthday party was a very big deal. We planned it a month ahead of time so that there was no way that baby’s arrival would interfere with her birthday…
Bump Update: Week 34
Today was our 34 week appointment. All is right with baby. My iron was rechecked at my last appointment and it has gone up a whole point, so now it’s just a little low instead of crazy low. Last night was amazing – the kids slept and I slept. I am usually up a million…
Bump Update: Week 32
I don’t have much to say about this last week. Not much has changed, although last night, baby was moving around a ton. I had been pretty sure baby was laying sideways in my belly for awhile now, but now, I have no clue! It feels like there are hundreds of little limbs moving around…
Bump Update: Week 30 & 31
Ahh, can you believe there are only 9 weeks of this pregnancy left? I’m getting really excited. When there were 3 months left, it felt like tons of time. Now with only 2, I’m really trying to get a few projects finished before the baby makes an appearance. I keep trying to get a video…
Bump Update: Week 28 and 29
I totally dropped the ball last week….and this week, but I’m getting this update posted even though tomorrow begins week 30. Ahh, can you believe that?! So exciting. Anyways, I have had a really awful week, with a lot of frustration. This week, I went to my 28 week checkup which had been rescheduled…
Bump Update: Week 27
Holy smokes! I just realized that this is the last week in the 2nd trimester. You know, when I found out I was pregnant, I was way off on the due date that I thought I had. I thought that somehow I was 16 weeks pregnant and was totally shocked that I was just finding…
Bump Update: Week 26
This last week has been relatively uneventful. I say relatively because part of this post involves something that is way TMI. But I figure I will share it since Google doesn’t seem to have the answers for me and I am actually going to have to call my doctor about it. But….I will save that…

Tips for Surviving a Summer Pregnancy
*Disclosure: I received a complimentary product for the purpose of this review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.* I remember very clearly these 2 days when I was 8 or 9 months pregnant with Maggie. It was over 100 degrees outside, and our air conditioning quit working. We really needed to replace…
Bump Update: Week 25
Baby is up to the 9 inch mark, and about a pound and a half. I am still blown away that something so tiny still can seem so big. When my belly is moving around, it feels like the baby is huge! Tonight, baby seems to be changing positions again. I am fairly certain that,…
Bump Update: 24 Weeks
Today I had my 24 week appointment. Everything seems to be going well, woohoo! The only thing I found out was that my blood pressure is pretty low. Nothing concerning, but definitely weird for me. It’s always been very consistent, even throughout my pregnancies. It also explains why I get dizzy so often. Baby is…
Bump Update: 23 Weeks
If I had to guess, I would say baby is going through a growth spurt. I have been starving to the point where I’m sure I will be sick if I go longer than 2 hours without eating a bunch of food. Especially toward the end of the day, I am so hungry! Not only…
Bump Update: 22 Weeks
This has been a tough week around here. Maggie was throwing up Saturday night and I attributed to the fact that she ate so much junk on Saturday at John’s sisters house. Every time I looked at her, she was shoving chips or cookies or something into her mouth and drinking way too much juice.…
Bump Update: 21 Weeks
I like comparing my baby to the fresh produce for size, but it’s telling me large banana again. I guess it depends on where you are looking. Either way, this baby is definitely in there and definitely getting bigger. I realized just now that I talked about how cute the baby is in the…
Bump Update: 20 Weeks
I cannot believe this pregnancy has reached the halfway point already! At first it seemed like it was going so slowly, now it feels like it is racing by. The last week was a bit rough on me. Over the weekend I had been doing good, but then Monday my stomach was a mess…
