We only have a few weeks left until Baby’s arrival! I’ve had a little more bursts of energy and try to take advantage when I do. Tim still hasn’t helped with the nursery. It’s driving my crazy. I’m hoping this week he starts assembling some things. We still need to order the chair glider but […]

Hi Loves, Lots of updates as we get closer to Baby P’s due date that I wanted to share with you today! Hospital Tour – We finally toured the hospital we’re planning to give birth at – UCLA Ronald Regan Westwood. Coincidentally, Beyonce just had her twins there, we tried to see if we’d see […]
Today I am 34 Weeks pregnant! It is really starting to fly by now with 6 more weeks left to go. I’ve had a few good weeks in this pregnancy, I’d say maybe 28 – 33, and other than that it’s just been so hard! I’m back to needing multiple naps, being hungry all the […]

By mariapelletier on June 3, 2017I am still recovering from the most amazing baby shower that was thrown for us and Baby P over Mother’s Day weekend. It was such a special day that I will truly treasure. Like many millennials, I have a high bar set for aesthetics while still on a budget. So when it came to planning […]
This past weekend my amazing friends and family threw me the most beautiful babyshower! They really went above and beyond to shower me and baby P with so much love. I’m planning to do a whole write up on the theme and how we did the shower on a budget once I have all the photos […]

While I’m not there yet (lucky me), I have already experienced some “pregnancy shaming.” A common […]
Hi Mamas, the third trimester is here and feeling lots of changes. Less nausea but more heartburn, hip pain and back pain. I fortunately don’t have swollen ankles or feet yet but my fingers are swollen and I can no longer wear my wedding bands. I’m also starting to have a larger appetite and more […]
