where we are at

i fell off the trek. AGAIN.

BUT thats okay with me. the past few weeks have been FILLED to the brim. looking forward to our schedules slowing down a bit hopefully once june rolls in but definitely by july. we are currently still working on putting our birth team in place along with the nursery. switching to our guest bedroom since i'm up a few times at night and need to move closer to the bathroom. (add master bath to our requirements list for our next move) looking to buy a car which we hope to finalize this weekend. along with celebrating weddings, babies, showers, etc. it's been fun & busy.

currently, our birth team consists of: our midwife, birth photographer, and mohel that will come to our house on the eighth day. we are talking with a doula and looking for a pediatrician. most importantly, i have Ted. we hope to have my mom here as well. she is flying in for three weeks and hope to time it just perfectly but you know how unpredictable that can be. regardless, we are so excited to meet our little boy.

we had our official maternity photo shoot and i can't wait to see the pictures! we were able to see a few sneak peeks and we already love them. i can't wait to have amy do our newborn/family photos after little bean's arrival.

we love our birth class. we love the bradley method. when we first signed up for our 12 week course, it seemed intimidating dedicating 12 friday nights. it has been so great and we look forward to it each week. i devoured both bradley books and ted is almost complete too (Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way and Husband-Coached Childbirth).

i still haven't found many maternity clothes. could be because i'm not looking. could also be i'm so short the proportions are just wrong on me. the weather warming up has helped because i can wear all my summer dress and shorts. i do need a few more shirts as mine are all starting to come up short. i've scored another dress from fossil (shown below). i have found non maternity clothes work better and are less expensive at this point (for the most part). AND way cuter. looking for a maternity bathing suit and can't wait to spend some time in water.

a few of my dear friends threw me a baby shower a few weekends ago. it was such a blessing! we took a picture of a few of us that are all expecting together (there are more). it's been so fun to enjoy and grow together. i can't wait for future play dates.
