Being pregnant, my skin has become more dry, I’m getting breakouts and battling stretchmarks. I’m also more aware of the products I’m using and it’s important to me that I try to use all natural, chemical free beauty items on my skin as much as possible. So I wanted to share what i’m currently using […]

24 Week Glucose Test & Baby Classes
By mariapelletier on April 14, 2017Today I had to take the Glucose test that checks for gestational diabetes. I should have the results by end of day tomorrow. I’ve heard a lot of pregnant women complain about the drink. The taste didn’t really bother me. However, five minutes into drinking the the glucose drink I got a massive migraine. You aren’t […]
Life Lately – 24 Weeks
By mariapelletier on April 10, 2017I’m writing this on a Sunday afternoon while enjoying a snack and taking a break from all my housework. My energy has really picked up, I can go about 2 hours and then I need to rest, but then I can do another 2 hours. Before, standing in the shower for 5 minutes completely wiped […]
I can’t believe we are already 6 months pregnant! It’s starting to fly by now. I’m relieved to announce i’m finally feeling better – more energy and less nausea. I haven’t thrown up in at least 2 weeks! I still have food aversions (anything in the junk food category) and she really seems to be […]
Last week at my acupuncturist appointment she recommended I start a Paleo diet- cutting gluten and dairy out of my diet specifically, to see if that will help manage my headaches. In the morning, I generally wake up feeling good, it’s once i’ve had breakfast the headaches start, and then after lunch my body completely […]
According to my pregnancy tracker App baby girl is the size of a Spaghetti squash, I can’t believe how big (and real!) she’s getting. Now that we know the gender we are finalizing our baby registry, i’m researching baby shower themes and we’re starting to seriously discuss baby names. I’m relieved to say […]
If you follow me on social media than you saw our announcement last night that we are having a sweet little girl. We were already expecting this news but it’s nice to know for sure. Between the morning sickness and the way I was carrying all the old wives tales pointed to girl. Also, as […]
These past two weeks have been some of the hardest in my pregnancy. I had to get IV fluids last week and then this Monday I got the worst migraine i’ve ever experienced (unmedicated, I’ve been getting almost daily migraines since the 5th grade so that’s saying something). My headaches have been getting better with […]
I can’t believe we are already at the half-way point and i’m 5 months along!! It’s actually flown by. Today we will have our 20 week anatomy scan and find out Baby P’s gender! Most people think it’s a girl because of how sick i’ve been. We are planning to do a gender reveal photo […]
