Welp, this bump is growing all while this pregnancy is flying.
5 1/2 months gone & it’s crazy to know I’m on the downward slope of this experience.
Honestly, I still think this pregnancy thing is pretty terrible and weird.
.
I AM feeling a-lot better than I was, but, this kid is an energy-sucker and before you say “it’s just preparing you for motherhood,” know I’ve been collecting dollars every time I’ve heard that line, and I am close to being able to fund it’s future UCLA education.
Top question I’m getting: “are you starting to slow down yet?”
Answer is met with a giggle and the obvious “no.”
.
Nursery is going to be a show-stopper thanks to wfordinteriors & our collab with projectnursery —-> but youuu cannn’t seeee yetttt. 🤫 
Most epic & unique baby shower being designed by the uber-creative, coastal_cocktails & thrown by my BFF’s & Momma.
Packages arriving every other day from the sweetest companies and friends & I feel overwhelmed with the love this thing inside me is receiving.
.
I’ve learned some ugly truths like:
-I don’t know anything about newborns
-I haven’t changed a diaper in well over a decade
-babies need a lot of shiiiiit (thank God for registries)
-my nipples belong on Nat Geo
-ankles / feet can actually be fat
-smells can repulse me in .02 seconds
-people realllyyyy like rubbing stomachs
-growing a babe is really F’in tiring
.
With all that said, I am truly honored to have such an incredible support-system of people who check on me & the babe regularly, share baby hacks, cute clothes & who shower us with unconditional love.
If you’re one of my people & you’re reading this, just know I am SO thankful for you.
