How far along:  30 weeks

Baby size:  Cabbage

Baby's progress:  Weighing about 3 lbs now.  Eyesight continues to develop (I hope he gets mine because hubs has badddd eyes!) .

Weight gain:  I think somewhere around 15-20, I am not sure of my exact starting weight

Stretch marks: no thank gosh.

Sleep: not so good. I feel like i'm flipping from side to side all night and usually up around 4 with some whack dreams. I miss sleeping... 

Gender: little man! 

Movement: still lots! Seems to be getting higher up so maybe he is stretching out at times.  

Best moment this week:  Hmm nothing too exciting happened. Obviously just thankful he appears fine in there and I am making it thru the days.  

Looking forward to: our 3D appt in 2 weeks. I see my Dr. this Wednesday and then I start seeing her every 2 weeks. Crazy. 

Food cravings: carbs, carbs and carbs. ugh! 

Weirdest food I ate this week: Nothing weird..

Anything making you queasy or sick:  negative 

What I miss: my regular clothes. Moscato (I had 3 sips on Friday night and it was divine.) Judge all you want. Sleep. 

Workouts: Not much this week as its been bloody hot and too hot to walk at the park.

Things that suck: Heartburn. Holy hell I am over it. That is my biggest complaint...
Then back pain. and no sleep. 

Things that don't suck: knowing the end is coming.. Would be totally fine with him coming in 8 weeks!

What's up


Hit 28 weeks pregnant this past weekend, and my poor feet are starting to swell after sitting for 12 hours at work. I come home and put them up and drift to sleep most nights.

Jack's closet is slowly starting to fill up. If I see something I like, I clearly buy it.

The weather in So Cal has still been beautiful and hot!! Thankful for friends with pools!

Mexican food in my backyard with the sun shining. Pretty much perfection. 

Lastly, time with my sister. Definitely the highlight of my week!! 

Somehow I am working 9 days in a row, hoping I survive even though I am feeling a tad burnt out already! The bad part is getting bored and shopping on etsy... I sure love getting packages so that part is awesome!

Happening's


Hope everyone had a good weekend! I worked the past 3 days so I am enjoying today off!!

The latest with me...

I got the whooping cough shot on Wednesday, 5 days later I'm still hurting! This doesn't show the swelling that really is there. 

Donuts. I couldn't say no. (don't worry, I only ate like 30% of that cinnamon roll)

The husband leased a new truck.. hope he doesn't expect me to ever lift Jack into it!

These pants!! Le sigh

Happy Monday!

Las Vegassss


I will start by saying I don't think that Vegas is the ideal place for pregnant women but I made the best of it and the short trip made it okay. 

We were in no rush to get there on Friday so we slowly made our way there, stopped for lunch and a lime-aid from Sonic, and arrived in Vegas close to 5pm. I have always wanted to stop at the Las Vegas sign so that was our first stop.

We then strolled the Miracle Mile Shops and had dinner and strolled Freemont Street. 

Saturday we had the most amazing breakfast at a total dive restaurant downtown. I am LOVING french toast right now. We made our way to the private pool at the Golden Nugget and spent our day catching the sun and laying in the pool. I was thankful it wasn't very busy.

We had dinner on the 24th floor over looking downtown, dinner was delicious and then headed towards Planet Hollywood for Britney Spears. 


The line to get into the theater was sooooo long, and she literally started at 9 on the dot so we missed the first song. She obviously didn't sing live, but did have 8 or so outfit changes and put on a decent show regardless. 


We hit the road early Sunday but not before getting Dunkin Donuts. That place is amaze balls!!

Until next time...

It's a ....


I know some of you follow me on Instagram but here is the official announcement.. 


We are so excited to meet our little man in December. At times I have felt this pregnancy going slowly, and other times the weeks seem to be passing quickly. I am 26 weeks now, and before you know it week 30 will be here. 

I honestly thought and maybe hoped it was a girl, I got way to caught up in all the myths and old wives tales and didn't even have boy on the radar. To say I was surprised at the ultrasound is a total understatement. Took me a few days to get on the boy train and now I am so excited to have a little mini of my husband. I have been filling his closet and imagining the cute fo-hawks ill be styling in his hair.  I know some people aren't that honest with their feelings but I say it like it is. I think its normal for women to want a little girl of their own and I was on that train. I wanted to name a little girl after my mom that passed and lets face it, girls clothes are so cute. 

To say that Jack is going to be a well dressed kid is pretty accurate :)
