sxsw 2012

just a little recap of my two days at sxsw with Lee....

we had a blast, stayed up way to late, and totally passed out when we got to houston. 

see you next year, sx.

I am so glad to have made it to the second trimester. For me, it IS true what most people told me-that the 2nd is much better than the first. In many ways, I was still very blessed to have a "relatively" easy first trimester. No actual morning sickness (as in coming back up--my worst fear!), but I did have some nausea, major migraines, aches and pains, and indescribable exhaustion. I'm feeling pretty good now...getting my appetite back, headaches are minimal, and not AS tired as I was just a month ago.

Something that is crazy to me, is the comments people make to you when you are out in public. I was at a birthday party last night one of our friends' grandfathers and had many people ask me things like how far along I am, when I'm due, stuff like that--no big deal. I was really shocked when people say things like, "Oh, you look much bigger than you are!" or "That is one big bump!" Gee...thanks. Cue kind of awkward moment.

What do you think...boy? Or girl?

Maxi dresses are my bff. As if they weren't already anyways...it's like pj's. All day.

top: Banana Republic

dress: Forever 21

Whoops...I cut off the bottom of this pic. Too bad because my shoes are cute:

top: (maternity! boo! gift from my mom!) old navy

shorts: j.crew

shoes: target (my new favs!)

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow...so I'm still praying news is all good!

spring break

I am more ready for spring break this year than I have ever been in my career or at least a LONG time. One thing I can say for sure; is that I am certainly blessed in the first place by just having a career where I get a spring break! This will be the first year in a number of years I haven't taken a fun trip somewhere, but with baby on the brain...I think it is a small sacrifice to make. I would like to take a trip to Dallas to see family and friends, but it is almost too hard to NOT spend money and we are really working hard to save. Did I mention I really need to find a good pair of maternity jeans? Boo. I will have to cave soon and bite the bullet.

14 weeks prego

cardi: j. crew

belt: madewell {best belt ever}

maxi dress: old navy

shoes: target

believe me

I didn't know something the size of a peach could literally cause so much back pain. At the rate I'm going, I'll need a scooter to get me from point A to point B for the next 6 months. Other than that, I'm pretty lucky in that I have felt generally pretty good. Our monster child is growing like a weed. It's actually pretty scary when a co-worker/friend comes up to you in the hall and says, "You better pray for a c-section."

Jesus, help me.

I'm on an anti-maternity clothes ban. So far, I'm doing pretty good. Anyone you know made it through their pregnancy without buying maternity clothes?

dress: old navy (clearance...score!)

jacket: gap

boots: dillards

Blessings, y'all.

bump bump

I promise not to turn all my posts into baby blogging. I might be lying a little. I just want to pretend I have a life.

Want to hear about the craziest month ever? I went from not even knowing I was pregnant a month and two days ago, to having complications, to not fitting into any of my clothes, to finding out the GENDER {still keeping it a little secret}, and in six months...I will have a little bambino on my hands.

Talk about cray-cray.

skirt: old navy

top: h&m

cardi: nordstroms

Yup. Almost 13 weeks. I've only put on 5 pounds, but thanks to my jolly green giant husband's genes, the baby is measuring about the size of a 15-16 week baby. I will have a cantaloupe on my hands in a few weeks.

A dallas kind of weekend

Hi!

This past weekend, Lee and I went up to McKinney, TX to visit my dear dear Leah-Vee....
