Wow! It’s been such a long time since I’ve blogged! I keep thinking “It’s already late. I’ll get a post up tomorrow for sure” and then the next thing I know it’s Sunday night and a new week is about to start! There have been a lot of changes around here so let’s get right back into this blogging thing with my favorite Friday link-ups!
1 | 23 weeks pregnant!!!
Seriously, how did we get here??? We’re over halfway there! Didn’t we just find out we were pregnant like last week? It still doesn’t feel real even though I constantly feel this little babe moving around in there. I still don’t feel like I’m going to be a mom.
I haven’t even done a bumpdate! Gasp! What a terrible blogger I am! Maybe I’ll do one for week 20 and then throw a few in there this second half.
2 | Prenatal Yoga
I have been having the worst hip pain. Chris was so sweet and booked me a prenatal massage for my birthday 2 weeks ago. While she worked on my hips, she suggested I try out some yoga poses that will help stretch my hips which will not only help now, but when it comes time to birth this baby.
PRETTY PLEASE? Will you please send me your favorite prenatal yoga poses/you-tube videos?? I took a bikram yoga class once or twice about 5 years ago but that was a disaster and has been my only yoga experience so far.
3 | New Job
I started a new job with a new law firm last week. Even though it was so hard to say goodbye, this move really was best for my career and my family. This new firm is much more “virtual” so I can really work from anywhere. My home base will be my home and then I’ll be in the office whenever I need to be. I’m still getting to do the work I love (estate planning and administration – I know you all think I’m crazy for loving this type of work!) and this firm will allow me to really specialize in my favorite aspects. It’s been a little hectic getting adjusted to a new schedule and new way of doing things but I’m slowly getting into a groove.
4 | New patio
I really didn’t ever think I would see the end of this patio journey. Over 3 years ago, I posted a picture on Instagram of Lilah standing on a huge pile of crush and run. That’s when this whole mess started. For a long time, I just put it off. It was a project started by someone I didn’t want to remember and the fact that it was left unfinished always made me angry. With some nudging and a lot of help from my mom I started looking into different options. Initially, Chris and I thought we could finish it ourselves with the help of his brother who does landscaping. After a day of hard labor, we realized we were in way over our heads. I’d like to say that bringing in a professional made it easy but there was a long road, and a small detour to small claims court, still ahead. I can finally say that as of today, over three years, a lot of tears, 3 different contractors and some huge help from my mom later, we are finally FINISHED!
5 | Some things to look forward to…
Some blog posts I still need to do… How I told Chris about the baby, the gender reveal (hint: check instagram!), nursery inspiration and much more!
I will start to take ads again in a few weeks! Look for a new media kit and ad options soon!
We’re going to get back on the blog goal train for this year! I hope you all will still follow along!

The bump looks great! And are you really over halfway there? Crazy how fast it's going.
