April Showers Bring Ma’ Baby

admin — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 12:46:43 +0000

April showers bring ma’ baby! Yes, yes … we all know the saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers”, but this year April Showers will bring something a little more special … ma’ BABY! I have been waiting for this month to show face for what has felt like forever, and now that it’s here it’s crazy to think that I get to meet my sweet angel in just a week or maybe days, who knows?! Like most women carrying their child for over 9 months, 39 weeks and 2 days to be exact, I’m more than ready to loose this belly and start the next chapter in this book of life … being a mom! Looking back at these photos taken just a little over a month ago, it’s crazy to see how much I’ve grown in my last trimester. I can’t even describe the feeling of un comfort I’m in now. I actually pushed back my first day of maternity leave because the thought of sitting or laying around waiting for her arrival just gives me anxiety. I can never find a comfortable position and quite frankly I would probably end up eating everything in the fridge! So working up […]

Maternity Support + Giveaway

admin — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 11:00:15 +0000

I had to dedicate an entire post to BLANQI for the simple fact that they made my last trimester bearable in the most fashionable way possible. Maternity support is so important and a game changer as you transition from trimester to trimester. It’s crazy how drastically different each trimester can be. The first trimester I was hush hush about my bundle of joy, wearing loose fitting clothing and sneaking crackers and ginger ale at work as snacks to keep the nausea down. Second trimester was a breeze for the most part other than heartburn. I was still working out, and had fun playing dress up as my belly grew. However, as soon as my Third Trimester hit, I’ve been dealing with THE worst heart burn causing me to throw up almost every evening. I feel just huge and extremely uncomfortable at all times. With the constant kicks to the ribs, sore back, lack of sleep, leg cramps and achy feet, I’m pretty excited to be done with the belly and finally get to meet baby girl. She is however worth every complaint, so don’t get it twisted! I just wish I had discovered BLANQI earlier on in my pregnancy to help. They are […]

Style The Bump + GIVEAWAY

admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2017 11:07:44 +0000

How I style the bump plus a GIVEAWAY! The bump or what I like to call it, the uncomfortable basketball I swallowed, definitely doesn’t make “styling” any easy. In fact, I get so annoyed and frustrated getting dressed the further I get in this pregnancy, all I want to wear are knit dresses and sneakers. Perhaps my style has become a bit more simple and minimalist but I’m not at all complaining about it. On top of all that, maternity wear isn’t much fun to shop for. You won’t catch me trying clothes on in store. I need the comfort of surfing the internet in my pjs on the couch, trying on at home. I stumbled upon PinkBlush Maternity and have found some great pieces that have helped me get through these awkward dressing stages. My favorite piece so far is this printed A-line knit dress. Comfortable and roomy, making both mommy and baby happy. Since I’m so pale as of late because spray tans and lying in the sun are a big no no when pregnant, I just opt for tall over the knee boots for this look. Wearing – Dress (Pink Blush); Boots (Staurt Weitzman); Bag (Cuyana); Hat (Nordstrom); Sunglasses (J.Martasand) I’m excited […]

Tickled Pink on Valentine’s Day

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 12:00:50 +0000

I’m tickled pink because this Valentine’s Day I have more to celebrate. As our family grows so does my love and I have so much to be thankful for. As the nursery slowly comes together, I can’t help to just stand in her room and smile. Knowing in just a few months I will be holding my little love in my arms. In the meantime it will just be the three of us (counting the fur baby), making this February 14th a special one. It will be our last love day celebrating alone because next year daddy will have a new Valentine, and I’m actually more than ok with that. I know my hubby was a little hesitant when we found out the gender of our little bun in the oven. Not because he didn’t want a girl, but because he didn’t and still doesn’t know what to expect out of raising a little girl. But who really does! Of course it’s going to be hard but there will be sweet rewards out of it all and isn’t that what parenting is all about? I’m ready to take on life’s curve balls as intimidating as it all sounds. On another note, […]
