Pregnancy life-savers

A few months ago I got a real treat in the mail- a package from Katie with some pregnancy treats! So sweet. I've been using all of these non-stop since I got them.

Non-toxic nail polish
Super moisturizing and smells awesome
Glass water bottle with silicone sleeve- I use this every day!
Thanks Katie!

California baby

We just got back about a week ago from our trip to California- it was amazing! So relaxing and rejuvenating to see my family and enjoy the lovely and non-humid California weather. Here I am on our first day:

19 weeks

Getting ready to go in here:


I will really miss sitting in there looking at the rolling hills, hawks and hummingbirds! Many more photos/updates to come.

baby boy!

We had the much-anticipated mid-pregnancy ultrasound appointment on June 22nd. We were so excited and anxious to get a look at our baby and find out if we were having a boy or girl! Our ultrasound technician was great, she explained what we were looking at and that everything looked totally normal (phew!). She saved the big news for the very end. I was shocked! Somehow I had convinced myself we were having a girl. We are both totally thrilled though and the vision of our family just became a little more clear:)

We had a follow-up appointment with our midwife right afterwards and she confirmed that everything looked great and his growth is right on track, I think she said 54th percentile. Now that we know we're having a boy we get to think about fun things like names and our registries!
