Only my district manager seems to point out how big I am, and I’m thinking Bitch, I was fat before I got pregs, what do you expect? Annoying!Hahaha! That’s seriously irritating. Especially from someone you work for/with. Doesn’t she know that it’s kind of inappropriate to comment on your size?
Apparently not. She even touches my belly and says “OOO look at that belly, how many months do you have left? You’re going to be so uncomfortable, etc etc.” Funny thing is I haven’t gained any weight in my entire 28 weeks. Luckily I’m done work soon.

Catching up
Day 3: Do you know the day you conceived? No idea! We had stopped keeping track because of a disappointment the month before. Some time in October.
Day 4: How did you find out you were expecting? It was a few days before my period was due and I just had this weird feeling. I promised Ryan I would wait until after I missed it to take a test but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was about 2 am and I woke up to go to the bathroom and on a whim I grabbed a test from the cupboard and took it. The 2nd line showed up right away. I went back to bed and shook Ryan awake to tell him and he said “Oh that’s cool” and fell back asleep. haha. He refused to believe it was true until it was confirmed by the doctor which it was a week later.

20 Day Pregnancy Challenge
Day 1: A Picture of you and 5 facts
- I just turned 29, but don’t feel nearly mature enough to be almost 30
- I live in Saskatchewan, land of flat prairie and cold ass winters
- I met my husband while playing DDR in an arcade 9 years ago
- I have 2 younger brothers who live in different provinces. I love them and miss them but don’t talk to them as often as I should
- I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up but right now, a mommy is on the top of my list.
- Tums Smoothies They taste much better than the regular kind and these days even oatmeal gives me heartburn. Talk about a pregnancy staple!
- The Body Shop Olive Body Scrub Love this stuff. It smells good and moisturizes while exfoliating.
- MAC Face and Body Foundation I may have found my HG foundation here. It’s lightweight, build-able and looks very natural. Plus you get tons in a bottle!
- Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lotion I use this all year round but to me it smells like summer. I keep telling myself it’s helping my stretch marks go away but who am I kidding? Those babies will be around for life.
- Espresso For the first 6 months of my pregnancy I cut out coffee completely because it was making me sick. Recently I started phasing it back in, indulging in a single espresso with milk and a little honey in the mornings. I’m hooked all over again. It does help that I have my own machine (a wedding gift from the lovely girls at my salon) and delicious locally roasted beans from Levens Coffee
only 26 weeks and I’m already making my hospital bag check list and cleaning like a mad women.
Nesting started for me this weekend. Let me say first that I HATE cleaning but I literally got excited to clean the kitchen and do dishes.
It’s so bizarre you guys.

A few belly progress shots. Am currently 27 Weeks but Ryan is sleeping and I’m too lazy to take a recent photo. I’ll try for week 28 :)
3 more months to go, it’s unreal!
Anticipation
It’s really hard to put into words how I feel about becoming a mother for the first time. How do you describe a million feelings bombarding you at once? I mean really, just thinking about it makes me panic a little. That’s normal right? I’ve known for quite some time that being a mom was what I was meant to do. Even despite all the lofty career and academic aspirations I had in my early 20s. I’m sure some people think I threw it all away, sacrificed finishing my degree or bided my time until I got married and we made the decision to start a family. In some ways that might be true. I never felt one hundred percent committed to school or my career as a hairstylist and I always felt like I was missing something. Despite all the shoulda coulda woulda’s in my life I take one look at my ultrasound photo and instantly I REGRET NOTHING. That tiny human growing inside of me will be most important and most incredible thing I have accomplished in my life so far and I have to say, I’m pretty cool with that.
Stroller Obsession
Ok, so it may seem silly but I am seriously obsessed with researching and trying out strollers. It’s been an all consuming hobby for the past few weeks and my husband thinks I’ve seriously gone insane. But there are soooo many options to consider! so many reviews to look over! so many Youtube videos to watch!
One of my favorite sites/youtube channels for stroller info is BabyGizmo. (Blog &YT Channel) They have phenomenal and indepths reviews of tons and tons of strollers and baby toys/ gadgets and it’s been a super helpful resource for my OCD approach to finding the perfect stroller.
Right now they are having a killer giveaway every day for the next month. Seriously, a different stroller or gadget EVERY DAY.
Today’s giveaway is for the Britax B-Agile which is one for the strollers on the top of my list.
There’s like 90 mins left, so if you are expecting or a new mom seriously check it out!
Also for moms who already have their strollers chosen, what did you choose? Are you happy with your purchase? Let me know!
