It’s funny how things work out sometimes, even with the best laid plans. Last year, as I was ramping up on the blog again, starting my book club, etc. I got pregnant! It was definitely a planned pregnancy (not a quarantine/COVID surprise), but what I couldn’t have prepared for was how sick I would be for the majority of the pregnancy. So my plans of really leaning into my blog got scrapped while I focused on pushing through all my pregnancy nausea. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I definitely wanted to share this exciting news and give an explanation for why I’ve been missing in action.

We are THRILLED to be pregnant and can’t wait to meet our baby girl in April. I’m 28 weeks along and it’s been a wild ride so far; not what I expected at all. I just entered the third trimester and I can say that feeling her kick and move around is wonderful and so reassuring.

There’s a lot to do before she comes including creating a registry, figuring out how to host a shower during the pandemic and cleaning out and decorating a nursery. Not to mention signing up for birthing and education classes. It’s a whole new world!

So all this to say – I am back and posting again and hope to keep you updated along the way. I would also LOVE to hear any of your first-time mom tips and tricks, what must-have registry items I should include, and any other things I should keep in mind as I navigate this journey.

In case you’re looking for any of the photo details, I got the sign from Etsy, Sport’s scarf from Etsy, and the baby shoes from Amazon. My dress is from Nordstrom and my earrings and necklace are from Kendra Scott.
