Maternity Photo Shoot

Today we had our maternity photo shoot, graciously taken by our friend!

It was a perfect day! Lots of sunshine and shade, a perfect breeze, and a pleasantly cool temperature!

We took pictures at an area right outside of Ft. Campbell and at Dunbar Cave State Park.

Love them! Now I'm going to have to choose which ones to frame!!

A Pregnant Woman's Guide to Maternity Clothes

Being pregnant with my first child, I had zero experience maternity clothes shopping. I had no idea what sizes I would need nor what products would work for me. Given that every body type is so different, and each pregnancy is so different, this post will simply serve as a guide and just a place to start. Ultimately, you will have to make some decisions yourself on what will work best for you. I just thought I'd share what I have learned in this first pregnancy. When Should I Start Buying Maternity Clothes? To me, this question has a simple and easy answer. NOW. (or, as soon as you find out you are pregnant.) Here's why: CLEARANCE . Take advantage of that clearance rack! If you buy as soon as you find out you are pregnant, the clothes on clearance are going to be the right season for when you are in your third trimester. I did a little shopping in the first trimester (early winter) and I got great summer tanks and maxi dresses for a ...

The Reality of Being A New Mom

This is gonna be a great post - I can feel it already. All done during middle of the night feedings while barely conscious, typing with one hand via my app on my phone. I hope you will accept my misspellings, grammatical errors, and lack of formatting in this post. Because honestly, I'm so sleep deprived that I don't really care about much these days! I thought I googled a lot of things before becoming a new mommy. Now I think I look up at least one or two things each day, anything from "low-grade fevers during c section recoveries" to "how to survive the newborn stage". What's funny about that last one is that I've asked my mommy friends when this uber stressful stage gets better, and none of them can remember!! They literally don't recall how hard the first several weeks are. It's like it vanished from their brain. On one hand, it makes sense because half the time I'm so tired I really don't remember things fr...

18 Weeks

I can't believe it's February already!! I'm 18 weeks and the baby is approximately the size of a mango. A kicking mango! She likes to kick a lot. Sometimes I have to really be focused to feel it; the other day she gave a pretty strong kick for being just 5 inches long! I feel her right at the waistband on my non-maternity pants. (Would you like my chevron cardi? Check it out here on maurices' website!) Is it just me, or does 18 seem like a very big number?! I am approaching the halfway mark! That is kinda scary! I was at the PX the other day, and I was wandering around and realized I haven't bought anything for baby Ava yet. Ok, so we bought a few KU onsies, but that was before we knew she was a girl. So I thought I'd let myself pick up a few things. I about lost it when I saw this in size newborn: Is that not THE CUTEST THING you have ever seen?!?!?! I had to have looked like a fool to anyone walking by; I'm sure I had a h...
