Boot Up

Of course I declare that I am going to start blogging again and find myself with writers block and zero creativity, top that all off with being home a majority of the week alone with a toddler. So, instead I've decided to send a little "hint hint" out to the Internet about some boots I have my eye on. Boots are a Mom essential in the PNW.

these with skinnies

these with skinnies, leggings, or just about anything!

these would also look amaze with skinnies or rolled up boyfriend jeans

Cheers!

Throw Back Thursday

If I thought time was speeding up as I got older, adding having a child to the mix puts time on warp speed.

Back To Blogging?

I've contemplated going back to blogging. I'm in a place where I feel that I am starting to feel like a Mom and could use an outlet to reflect on daily life, offer my take on Mom advice, ask questions to the universe that is the internet, and just post whatever I fancy.

I'm not the perfect Mom. I don't have all of the coolest gadgets/toys/clothes. I don't have great style, in fact most days you can find me in some old sweats. I'm no expert in beauty, I'm lucky to wash my hair twice a week and makeup now consists of tinted BB cream. But, I LOVE being a Mom to my baby girl and stepson.

So, heres to trying out coming back to the blogging world.....

Cheers!

WOAH. Slow Down time.......I can't believe that I am already in my third trimester. Time is flying, faster than normal.

Baby Girl Fernandez is apparently the size of a Chinese Cabbage. (a.k.a. 14.8 in and 2.25lbs).

Pregnant Girl Wants to Have Fun!

Last week we went to see Matt Wertz at the Triple Door. I'm usually not a huge concert go-er, however I love his music, and you can't beat a venue where you can "drink" cocktails and eat good food.

It was AHHH-mazing!

Check him out if you haven't already.

What Else: We surprised our family on Easter by announcing that we were having a girl. I had thou i had dropped subtle hints all around the house - pink tulips, pink lemonade but no one guessed. I had also baked a pink ombre cake and as we cut in everyone knew immediately. Sawn and I started our registry which was VERY overwhelming.....I found it easier to do most of it online rather than in store. And, we put together both the bassinet and crib, loving both!

Impatience

I couldn't take it any longer. I caved and bought my first clothes for the Baby. Super cute, even if "gender neutral."

Also, I found a great deal on my dream Diaper Bag on eBay.

20 Week Bump Update

Again, ignore the photo quality. We will need to teach Shawn how to use the camera prior to Baby's arrival. I officially am "showing." Weather or not I look pregnant or fat is still a debate.

20w3d

Stats
Baby Size: Small Cantaloupe - 6.5in 10.6oz
Total Weight Gain: at lest 8lbs
Maternity Clothes: Most jeans are now not fitting without the Belly Band, it is almost easier to wear maternity jeans but I feel as if they make me look "more pregnant". Still getting by with most regular tops. Getting anxious for nice weather to wear all of the cute maternity dresses I have purchased.
Food Cravings: Sweets :-( last week I ate the aforementioned Red Vines, as well as a milkshake.
Food Aversions: none
New Symptoms: same old
Movement: YES! It is pretty indescribable and nothing like I imagined. It is still pretty sporadic though.
Belly Button: In
Gender: Unknown
Best Moment of the Week: Feeling Baby move and buying a stroller and some clothes.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender so that I can start decorating the nursery!
What I Miss: The SUN! (nothing to do with pregnancy)
What Else: Got a killer deal on a stroller AND car seat! I was originally thinking I waned the Bugaboo ($1000) but read reviews that it was difficult to fold and not ideal for suburban living. I then had my heart set on the UppaBaby Vista ($700). Well, over the weekend I made a stop by Merry-Go-Round in Bellevue, and they had a deal running for 20% off the Britax-Be-Ready as well as a FREE Car Seat. It is very similar to the UppaBaby, maybe not quite as stylish, but for more than 1/2 the price I couldn't pass this deal up. VERY EXCITED!

1/2 Way There!!!

I can't believe that I am already at the halfway point of this pregnancy. Time is flying, and I'm starting to get anxious about everything that needs to be done before Baby Fernandez makes their grand entry.

According to my iPhone app, Baby is the size of a small cantaloupe. Mamma on the other hand is looking more like the Michelin Man....hopefully I will get a "bump" picture up this weekend.

Rant

I'm at this really annoying stage of pregnancy where nothing fits, regular clothes are too small, maternity clothes too big. Also, this "bump" is not looking like a baby bump, more of a beer bump. Every time I look in the mirror I have to remind myself it's OK, I'm pregnant. It's hard. Hoping that this bump starts to look more like a cute preggo bump soon; I'm scared I'm going to be one of those "not cute" pregnant women.

P.S. Maybe I am just fat.......I ate ALL of that licorice in less than 10 minutes.

P.P.S "They" say that if most of your weight is in the front it's a boy; more in the middle a girl...........it's looking middle-ish to me. Just sayin'

Craving

At least they are fat free?
