Pregnancy Update/ Baby Name Bracket Update

29 weeks Mackenzie                      28 weeks Baby #2

I found this picture of me at 29 weeks Pregnant with Mackenzie and I thought I would share a side by side to see the difference. 

How far along: 28 weeks

Gender: Girl!! 

Weight gain: 28 lbs. I lost 7 lbs this last month. The doctor kinda freaked. Then I told her we were on the Whole 30 and she was excited, said that is the best food for me and baby. She also measured my tummy and it's still growing so she knows the weight loss is me and not baby! Yay!

Maternity clothes: Yes, I did buy some non-maternity from LuLaRoe that I plan on featuring soon. So be watching for that!!

Stretch marks: I still have them but, I am putting on cream twice a day! Which reminds me... I need more. 

Belly button in or out: In although very shallow. HAHA

Sleep: With this diet I have noticed better sleep and a better schedule. I fall asleep so fast now! Wake up naturally and ready to go, also I don't feel the need for a nap. I still take some but, I don't NEED them.  

Best moment this week: Going back to part time and hanging out with Max!!!

Miss anything: Yes, Candy bars, milk, cheese, hot cocoa, pie, bread!! That's not due to pregnancy though, HAHA, it's this diet that I love/hate!!!

Cravings: See note above!!!!! I can add pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries (fried in bad fat!). 

Queasy or sick: No

Looking forward to: So much!!! Halloween which marks the end of the diet, our anniversary, we are getting awayish! The holidays, Black Friday. My list can go on!!!

We actually have completely narrowed down the name but, for now I will just give you the top 2. I haven't decided when I will reveal the name. I want it to be a fun post!

Points:

Kim: 72

Marnie: 65

No longer able to get points:

So, now some more good news. Since I have returned to part time that means I will return to a regular blogging schedule! The only problem is I am zapped for ideas, do you have any? As mentioned above I am doing one featuring new clothing from LuLaRoe, I have a makeup one, a dressing my bump, fall craft. I am planning on bringing back blogmas, to make up for all my hit and miss posts. Of course that isn't until Christmas, should I do 12 days again or 25? Let me know what you think in the comments!!

Talk to you soon,

Pregnancy Update and Updated Bracket

check out those tan lines!!!

How far along: 25 weeks ( I was a little off on the last update. This time I double checked and I am 25 weeks.)

Gender: Girl!! 

Weight gain: 30lbs! Wednesday starts Whole 30, I will blog more on why I am doing that later. 

Maternity clothes: Yes. I am on the hunt for holiday dresses!!

Stretch marks: I think the cream is working, or my belly is growing that I can't notice them as much anymore!! Haha!!

Belly button in or out: In (It never popped out last time, I don't think it will this time.)

Sleep: My energy has come back more but, I am working full time. So, it's not like I can get anything done. 

Best moment this week: Mackenzie telling me baby sister is in "Kenzie tummy"

Miss anything: Not really, I mean I have more aches and pains this time around. I guess I would answer a break but, I know that is coming!

Cravings: No 

Queasy or sick: No

Looking forward to: Halloween!!! I have been looking at decorating ideas with my mom and I am excited!!

First Round Name Cuts and a Pregnancy Update!

I finally did it! I hate it when a week gets away from you but, here are the first round cuts. Before I show you that here is a quick prego update.

I know I usually do black leggings but, I have been living in these ones.
Look for them in upcoming Friday favorites!!

How far along: 24 weeks

Gender: Girl!! I can't believe I get to say "Honey, do you have the girls?" I love the way it sounds HAHA!!

Weight gain: 23 lbs ugh! There goes that goal. I am starting the Whole 30 diet in October. Any tips?

Maternity clothes: Yes, because the jeans are way more comfy and I have to wear those to work. Other times I pretty much live in leggings and dresses. I am not wearing maternity tops on a regular basis. 

Stretch marks: I had them from Mackenzie so I probably won't notice new ones. Actually, I think I saw some new ones, freaked a little and went out and bought stretch cream. 

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: All the time. I still need a daily nap although I am not as cranky if I miss it. I did find out my blood came back Anemic so I have been adding iron supplements and have noticed a little pick up in my energy.

Best moment this week: Mackenzie calling one of her babies "baby sister" and taking care of her. 

Miss anything: Not hurting so much after work. After 8 hours my feet and back hurt. I am definitely looking forward to going back to part time next week.

Movement: ALL THE TIME!! This little one likes to move and especially first thing in the morning. 

Cravings: Not really any more. 

Queasy or sick: Still no thankfully. 

Looking forward to: With Mackenzie I inundated her with foxes and she loves them. I picked a new animal for this one and plan on doing the same thing. So, I look forward to the hunt of all things FAWNS!!

How I dressed the bump

I thought it would be fun to show you how I dress this baby bump every once in awhile.

This was last Sunday. Mondo and I went to the first service and then Chipotle afterwards for lunch Yum! We also went to Babies R' Us to check out some double strollers. This is the one I want!

Contours Options

After all that we drove around town to check out some houses, then home for a nap and pizza. Over all it was a great day. I loved spending time with my little family!!

Knowing all our plans for the day and it being another hot one, I wanted to dress comfortably. So, jean shorts, hi-lo top and a cute hat did the trick. I also styled this with some faux toms and a cute owl necklace.  I stayed cool and comfortable.

Talk to you soon!!
