36 week check-in

I can buy this to be a diaper bag right? I’ve never owned anything lululemon and that’s for a very intentional reason. From what I understand, buying this brand is like getting a tattoo.  Once you get one thing, you want another, and then another, and pretty soon you can’t stop…and your bank account is wiped.  I’ve been in the store several times (I’ve tried on lots of yoga pants).  But I just haven’t been able to pull the trigger out of fear that what I said above is true.  But if I buy this… Read more >

Weeks 27 – 33

Well, I’m (hopefully) a solid 6 weeks from “the big day”. But who knows… I can say with 100% certainty that the end of the second trimester brought the end of the honeymoon phase of pregnancy. Out with the nice little bump, in with the belly! And the rest of the not-so-fun symptoms – like acid reflux, insomnia, and cramping. Ok, my belly isn’t really that big yet. I’m hardly waddling. But my body has changed big time. Exercise pretty much stopped around week 27. This was partially due to the fact that I was… Read more >
