It's Been a Few Weeks...

It's been a few too many weeks since my last post!  But it seems that when you are working a full time job, trying to spend as much time with your husband as you can while it's "just us two", and preparing for the sweet bundle of joy that will forever change your life, blog posts don't really stand out as a priority.  I do love writing these posts though.  And I know that a few years from now, when people ask me about my pregnancy, I'll be glad that I have these posts, even if only a few of them, to remember what my pregnancy was like.

 A lot has been going on since my last post about our "Little Man or Little Miss" gender reveal party...

 -I got to celebrate my first "unofficial" Mother's Day, and my sweet husband surprised me with a gorgeous baby book for our baby girl:

 -Tilton got to celebrate his first "unofficial" Father's Day, and I surprised him with this hilarious--or at least I think so--onsie:
I bought the onsie at Hobby Lobby, and had it printed at Dirty Tease in Louisville.

 -My belly has continued to grow and is now borderline gigantic! But I'm A-okay with it, since it just means that our sweet girl is growing larger and healthier by the day! Here are some belly shots to bring you up to speed...

 At 23 weeks:

 And 24 weeks:

 And 25 weeks:

 And 26 weeks:

 And 27 weeks:

And 28 weeks:

And 29 weeks:

And 30 weeks:

And 31 weeks:

And 32 weeks:

And 33 weeks:
Week 30 boggles my mind... My belly looks like it shrunk from week 29!  And from week 30 to 31, it looks like it doubled in size!  It was so weird! Maybe she was laying in a different position that week?

 -Tilly's nursery is slowly coming together as we find and gather pieces that we love! We decided on a gray, pale pink, and white color scheme and I love it so far! I can't wait to see the finished product! And I'll be sure to post photos when it's complete! :)

 -I had my first baby shower a few weekends ago, hosted by my amazing mom and sister, and it was incredible!  Having so many wonderful women gathered together to celebrate our sweet girl definitely made me feel blessed beyond words.  And the gifts were so wonderfully thoughtful! We are definitely much more prepared for Tilly's arrival now.  My mother-in-law is throwing us another shower in a few weeks, and we can't wait!  Any excuse to celebrate our baby girl is fine by us! :)

 We are slowly checking off our pregnancy to-do list and preparing for Tilly's arrival.  I know that we will never be fully prepared for how much our lives are going to change, but being able to see that we are making some progress in our preparations puts my crazy, non-stop, pregnancy mind at ease.  Any recommendations from other mommas and daddies out there on the most important things to do before baby arrives are definitely welcome!

 I can't believe how quickly time seems to be passing now.  We have less than (maybe) SIX WEEKS until we get to meet the wonderful new addition to our family! :)

 Until next time...

    I have loved reading your blog throughout your pregnancy, you have got to be the cutest pregnant girl I have ever seen :)

    Enjoy some time with Kyle just relaxing...she will be here before you know it. One thing we did that turned out really great for us was make some casserole dishes and soups and put them in the freezer so that when people stopped bringing meals by after Sam was born, I still didn't have to worry about doing anything for dinner other than popping something in the microwave.

    Good luck throughout the last month!

Easy-Peasy Teacher Appreciation Gifts

My little bits just finished up her first year of preschool (PS1) last week, and just started her second year (PS2) this week.  Her first year at her school was nothing short of amazing, and I'm so happy with our decision to start her in the program last August.  Her teachers for PS1 were the best, so I wanted to give them a little something to show our appreciation and gratitude for all of the love, time, and patience they poured into our girl over the past 12 months.  I wanted to keep it simple, and give them something that they could appreciate and actually use, and eventually decided on a small succulent arrangement and a Starbucks gift card.  Because who isn't obsessed with succulents and coffee  right now always?!? I put the succulent arrangements together myself, and I love the way they turned out!  I picked up the white planters at Hobby Lobby for around $5 each.  The succulents came from Home Depot (their selection was HUGE) and ranged in...

My Two and a Half Year Blogging Hiatus

Hey there!  It's been a while since my last post--two and a half years, but who's counting?  As it often does, life got a little crazy, and blogging got pushed to the back burner.  But I've recently had an itch to start writing again. So here I am. I've missed it. And a lot has changed in our lives since I last wrote.  So let me bring you up to speed... I got a promotion at work, and am now the pharmacy manager of a local retail pharmacy. My husband is working to make his dream of being a full-time photographer a reality.  He's insanely talented, and the fact that he's completely self-taught amazes me! You can check out some of his work HERE . I've taken up photography as well, under my hunky husband's guidance, and I now photograph weddings alongside him.   Our beautiful mess of a daughter is THREE years old (where did that time go???).  She is incredible, and smart, and funny, and her zest for life is inspiring. We added a fur-bab...
