July 6 Fourteen weeks today, which means it’s the start of my second trimester! I’ve always thought I’d love being pregnant and so far that’s holding true. Let’s just see what this second trimester has in store for me! I shared my 12 week ultrasound pictures with some friends the other day and my friend
12 Week Ultrasound
Our 12 week ultrasound (which occurred on June 22, 2009) was amazing! This was our second ultrasound, but it was the first time we actually got to see our baby move. This ultrasound was part of our first trimester screening and lasted about 20 minutes while they gathered all the information they needed. The baby
Casual Green Dress
This shade of green–which I like to call “Kate Spade green”–is one of my favorites. And this casual strapless dress is also quickly becoming a favorite of mine. On this day I wore it to a fun little ladies luncheon with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and added the cardigan in case I got too chilly
Pregnancy: Weeks 9-13

All Things Loved In July
1. Non-alcoholic margaritas–mmmm! Since I’m currently knocked up and off the sauce, I decided I wanted a delicious non-alcoholic slushy drink to enjoy this summer.

16 Week Bump
I’ve got to show you my CRAZY 16 week baby bump! Now this may be a little TMI, but I have no problem going there. I’ve noticed that when I need to pee REALLY badly my belly sticks out way more than usual. So far G’s the only one who’s seen the proof first-hand, and
Teal Jacket…and Lots of Elastic!
Like my new jacket? This is one of my latest purchases which will hopefully continue to fit me through the fall season. It’s pretty roomy so I think my chances are good. I just love it! Jacket: Old Navy Top: New York & Company Jeans: Gap Shoes: Nicole Pregnancy: 15 weeks And just like I
Scarf & Jacket in July
We had a few days of unseasonably chilly weather earlier this month. On this day the highs were in the low 60s, so to my surprise I needed to raid my closet for some much needed keep-me-warm accessories. Even in Wisconsin, who would’ve ever thought I’d need a jacket and scarf in July?? And although
First Prenatal Appointment
Written on May 26, 2009 Today I’m 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant and had my first prenatal appointment! At the start of the appointment the nurse asked me how I’ve been feeling and I said, “Good. Too good! I’m beginning to worry that I’m not really pregnant. I WANT TO SEE THIS BABY!!” Well
Room To Grow
Even though we were trying for this baby for seven months, we had actually been planning for this baby for well over a year before we conceived. One of the changes I made in anticipation of one day being pregnant was that when shopping I tried to only buy clothes that would work both pre-pregnancy
