Whew this time thing is a beotch. IM NOT READY! Hahaha, but seriously, I need to still be approved by my new practice, do a hospital tour, get her nursery in some semblance of order, wash her clothes, etc.. Totally normal for second child, right? Last Friday I had all the anxiety about these things, but I’m at the point where all I want is someone to get this baby out of me safely.
I think keeping busy is both making the time fly and helping me stay calm about the impending arrival of our daughter. This past weekend was chock full of activities: Christmas parties, exploring downtown Atlanta, and our normal running errands/preparing for the week. We had 4 Christmas parties on Saturday, and it was so fun to see so many of our friends! By 9:00 I was exhausted though, so Hudson and I skipped out on the last shindig to snuggle in bed. Sunday we went to the Botanical Gardens and checked out their holiday train exhibit, which had Hudson in pure delight. That was my absolute favorite.
Anddd I had some serious third trimester suckage happen this weekend. Not only have my cankles come back full force, but I also peed AND ripped my pants on Sunday. Is that TMI? Too bad. I don’t want to be all hearts and roses to ya’ll, so I’ll say this: as much as I love being pregnant, the third trimester BLOWS. Like, I’m already large and round and have cellulite showing up in places I didn’t realize I could get cellulite. Do I also need to worry about laughing so hard I pee? Or instantaneous rippage of my pants? No. But that’s what happened. Jason was telling me the funniest story on Sunday morning, and I got to that point of laughter where it’s hard to breathe and my eyes were watering. Boom pants peed. Which made me laugh harder because I’m perverse like that. THEN Jason gave me the afternoon to go see a movie. I went to the movie theatre, ordered all sorts of delicious snacks, and when I went to cross my legs my pants ripped. Like a big, gaping, obvious hole. I had to take off my sweater and tie it around my waist at an angle so that I could get to my car without anyone noticing. Pretty much I’m just a hot mess over here.
Exercise: Still going strong! Took Sunday and Monday off due to time constraints and now a sick toddler, but we’re going hiking today! I have completely stopped running but am still loving weights and dance.
Hormones: Pretty good! A lot of laughter lately which I’m banking on constantly thinking of seeing sweet Henley so soon.
Overall: Besides the peeing/ripping my pants, cellulite covered, cankle rocking lady that I am I feel good!
You look stunning! I adore your baby belly. You are just so hilarious! I never peed on myself when I was in the third trimester, but I no notice that I can’t do ANYTHING without worrying about doing it a little bit so I have to keep that in mind while laughing.
I was about this far along last year with my first daughter. Everything will come together, don’t worry!!
you look beautiful and i am sure you are soooo ready to have this little girl! congrats!
Ummm talk about #PREGNANCYGOALS! You look stunning! I can only hope to look half as good as you come my time…
Bwahahaha I just love you so much!
You look great – I love that dress! I am a couple of weeks ahead of you but dress nowhere as cute as that. You can find me usually in sweats or yoga pants and my hubby’s t-shirts LOL!
Congratulations and all the best with your pregnancy
You look great. Much luck with your delivery!
I love baby bumps. AND that dress on you! So cute 🙂
It wont be long. Soon it will be baby time.
You look so gorgeous!! Hoping one day I can be half as pretty pregnant as you look! Merry Christmas!
Glad you are doing well. Sometimes I really miss being pregnant.
You look amazing! It’s definitely exciting to see the little bundle of joy. I bet you can’t wait! Love the dresses!
You look great! Enjoy these last few weeks!
Awwwwnn, this is such a cute post. You look adorable. Do take a good care of yourself. God Bless!
You look great! Love the photos and I had to laugh at the ripped pants story. You’re a lot of things and I doubt a hot mess is one of them. 😉
Aw poor you still at least you saw the funny side of it. You are perhaps the best dressed mama I have seen gorgeous
I saw the main pic on Pinterest yesterday and I was like, heyyyy I “know” her #authenticblogger buddy. Home stretch!
You look really great! Just some weeks left and you can welcome you little baby girl. The peeing and ripping your pants is so funny. Happened to me too once when I was pregnant with my daughter.
Oh wow, you really have had a time of it, haven’t you? I’m glad you can poke fun at yourself though! You look great!
Gorgeous photos! You cracked me up with the pee and ripped pants story. Cant wait to see your new little bundle photos soon!
you are so close but i know that after 35 weeks you are ready to have her with you
This photo is so sweet, very cute, can’t wait to see your baby.
You and your bump are just adorable <3
Congratulations and I wish you all the best! Love the Christmas tree.
3rd trimester can bring lots of unexpected surprises. But you look good no matter what!
With my first pregnancy I definitely had much more energy. And now, that I’m pregnant with a second baby, it’s a little more challenging to excercise and do all the things I did during first pregnancy. My active preschooler doesn’t give me much time for myself:)
You are rocking maternity! Too cute!
You make pregnancy look like an even more beautiful experience lady! Gorgeous!
This looks like so much fun! That photo in front of the wall of poinsettias is STUNNING.

You look absolutely gorgeous!!! That second pregnancy feels like it went by in a flash! 5 more weeks left.
