bestie bumps.

suz & i got mani/pedis today.  hopefully my last before baby comes:)  we took a belly shot selfie afterwards just to compare what 37 weeks & 25 weeks looks like.  i'm taking a pic like this every time i see her since any day now, my bump will be replaced by a sweet little babe!

pool day. and ready for babe!

we joined our neighborhood pool this year & i'm sooooo glad we did! had our first day at the pool yesterday & it was quite the hit with little man. helps that there is a zero depth entry side where he can play endlessly in shallow water.  and the water is heated.  we laughed lots & had a great time.

big mama, almost 37 weeks!!

i had an OB appointment this morning & am dilated to 3cm and 50% effaced. baby girl may arrive any day!!! we seriously need to name her. otherwise, i feel like we are pretty ready for her otherwise. all the baby stuff is out & ready, and we'll install her carseat once the fam all heads home later this week if she hasn't made her appearance by then.  i feel mostly excited & somewhat nervous about our family transition in the next few days/weeks.  overall though, i just really can't wait to see her sweet face & snuggle her soft cheeks.

every single morning.

i eat this for breakfast every.single.morning.  haven't gotten sick of it yet.

ate multiple bagels with cream cheese every day my entire first trimester & haven't had a bagel since, hahaha!  hoping the almond butter/strawberry jelly faze doesn't end soon though because it's soooo good:)

working out.

so thankful i've been able to be super active this pregnancy!  i find myself at the gym doing barre classes or working out on the elliptical 4-5 days a week still (before wedding week...it all came to a halt for the festivities).  while julie was in town we even snuck in a workout!  i love being able to work out and feel like it's contributed to much less weight gain & water retention this pregnancy.

hello, baby bump!

the sisters & i did some shopping this weekend - of course! it's what we do.

i noticed while standing in the dressing room hallway how massive my belly looks all of a sudden! i've definitely popped in the last few days, and i feel like baby girl has dropped.  i'm 36 weeks-2 days now.  today is the first day i've really "felt" the end of pregnancy.  i'm so tired and my legs & pelvis are super sore after kate's wedding yesterday.  i think that's to be expected though after a long day on our feet & in heels no less. last night when we got home from the wedding everything in me throbbed and my feet were swollen for the first time this pregnancy. but today the swelling is less which is good. trying to keep my feet up & rest as much as i can while i have family in town to help me these last few days. i feel like she could come any day now...so exciting & a little bit scary!!

wedding excitement.

our beautiful kate got married yesterday!!! it was the most perfect day & they threw an amazing FUN party after the ceremony.  sooooo glad baby girl stayed put through the wedding weekend, i was afraid she would make an early debut & i would miss the wedding. i woke up this morning more sore than i imagined but i did dance my LEGS off at the reception and wore heels for most of the day, so i think that's to be expected at 9 months pregnant :)

congrats aunt kake!!! we're so happy for you!!!

both my babies.

baby sitting on baby.

i'll miss carrying B on my bump like this!
