We’re down to the final weeks over here, and I feel like I’m ready? Things are in order at work (for now), and the nest is ready. Thanks to Matt for doing 10 million things around the house to get us organized. We had one last meeting with our doula yesterday, and reviewed some of the relaxation techniques for labor. I’m excited! I’d like to make it to my cut and color appointments next weekend, and then we have ZERO…

A couple of women at school have exclaimed “THE BABY HAS DROPPED” when I walked into the workroom. I guess so? I’m not sure! I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair of Tom’s flats I’ve been eyeing for fall (Taupe Suede). Pregnancy has def kept me from spending money on clothes, but I miss shopping, especially this time of year. Is it realistic to think I’ll read some novels this fall? I created a reading list on Amazon…
I’m almost to the 8 week countdown! It’s hard to believe. I haven’t blogged much pregnancy, so I thought an update of sorts might be fun. 6 weeks How I’m feeling My body feels great! I’m still energized and, aside from a touch of nausea this week, I’m surprised at how ‘normal’ I feel. I think I’ve gained about 26 pounds so far. That puts me right on track to gain my doctor’s maximum recommendation of 35 pounds. I thought…
-I think I’m nesting? We discovered some mold around our AC vents and had to move into the guest room while it’s being remediated. As a result, Matt and I cleaned out our closet and old files, moved his office out of the nursery, and did a ton of things around the house that I may have put off for years! -The timing of summer break has been perfect, as I have a surge of energy and have been running…
Thanks for your sweet comments you guys!! And now, a phone photo dump: chocolate cake as a mid-day snack packing on the lbs means new underwear cereal mixed with buttercream the famous discontinued nest cinnamon toast for nausea, just like my mom used to make first glimpse! I may have ordered and consumed this whole pizza when Matt was out of town 6 weeks 17 weeks when everyone else is day-drinking…
Spring is in full bloom here! Flowers are blossoming, the birds are chirping, and our new palm for the roof deck is thriving in the Dallas sun. It’s also that time of year that we plant new flowers for the baskets on our front fence. Oh, and I should tell you that there’s a pea in the pod. Or should I say a pear in the pod, as I approach 18 weeks tomorrow! Yes – you read that correctly. For…
-I love having fresh flowers in the house! How pretty is this pink bouquet a friend brought over? -We’ve had lots of rainy weather here and I’ve been in the dark audiotorium proctoring standardized tests all week. I can’t wait for some sunshine to hit my eyes! -I jumped on the SnapChat train, and I’m slowly figuring out how it works. My username is leyallen. -I had an action-packed weekend that included Metcon at the gym, visiting Grapevine Brewing for…
Spring forward brought 88 degrees! I love all the green I’m starting to see. It must mean St. Patty’s Day is near. I had a low-key weekend that included a lot of odds and ends around the house. I love being able to open all the windows and have the fresh air sweep through the living room. Spring is probably the one time of year that I feel inspired to clean. And somehow I convinced Matt to do the toilets.…
-It was half-off champagne night with the girls – I normally wouldn’t go towards bubbles in January, but man that stuff is good. -I’m getting into The Chainsmokers. – -We had some pretty amazing food and a boatload of fun with my sister and brother-in-law last weekend. Kath has all the details. -Did you guys get the day off on Monday? I forgot about it until the night before and experienced pure elation. We could use a little MLK in…
