When Jordan and I lost our third pregnancy, I went into a dark place. It was really hard staying positive about anything. When I was finally ready to try again, I figured we’d get pregnant right away. I had before and had no reason to think this would be any different. But it ended up being VERY different. Most of 2019 was spent tracking ovulation, pregnancy testing, going to various doctor’s appointments, etc. We were lucky to have found Karen at City of Oaks in the fall. Karen had delivered Hattie at Baby+co and I knew I…

Midwife appointment this week? I have one tomorrow afternoon! Current mood: For today being my due date, I’m actually pretty content still being pregnant. I think part of me is in denial that I’m actually about to birth another baby. Cravings: Yesterday I had the weirdest craving – egg rolls! Food Aversions: Mexican and anything spicy…

I’ve gained… 30 pounds as of Tuesday’s appointment. Midwife appointment this week? I had one on Thursday of last week with Karen and one Tuesday of this week with Cassandra.

Today I’m 37 weeks, 2 days (full term! Woot!) and I’ve finally finished our sweet rainbow baby’s nursery. With Hattie, I went with purples and gray. With Alice, we went for a pink and gold look. I originally wanted more blush and mauve shades of pink but the wall color didn’t turn out quite like I wanted so I just went with the brighter shades. Please excuse the wrinkled curtains. I cannot for the life of me find our steamer since we moved. Just know these curtains are perfection and took me fifty million years to…
