Everything is going well with me, I'm just really busy which is why the lack of updates. We have a lot of things going on right now with all the doctor's appointments, house hunting, Jacob going back to school, work and preparing for the baby. It feels like everything is happening all at once and sometimes it gets stressful. >_<

Anyway, here is a belly update although I am officially 26 weeks now.


I don't really take weekly shots like some ladies do and I don't think I'll go for a maternity shoot either. Although it looks like I am okay with showing a little bit of skin (lol) but this will be the last. I promise to cover my belly next time I post. Also, 14 weeks left or more like 94 days. Yay! Oh, and baby has been kicking like crazy lately. No one warned me about how these kicks can kind of hurt. I thought it would be sweet little kicks and feeling the baby move, but no, her kicks can really be strong and catch me off guard at times then I go "oop" "iih" "ugh"... but at least I know she is alive and doing fine in there. My favorite is when she slowly rolls.

I bought a pair of wedge sneakers yesterday! The Puma Sky Wedge in Virtual Pink. They are so cute on! I plan to wear them for fall with leggings or skinnies paired with oversized shirts, tunics and sweaters! If they weren't on sale, I wouldn't even try them on. Oh my god, they are so comfortable! It's like boots with padding!!


I think the safest way to wear this style is to get the sporty looking ones. I hated these shoes when they first came out because the actual wedge part looked exactly like a wedge heel (example). To me, it just didn't fit with the whole "sneakers" vibe. I'm glad they started to make them look prettier and more casual.

I'd probably get another pair in black just because I'm so in love with them. I purchased my shoes from DSW but my store had it on sale so I only paid $60. Score!

I loved the Green Tea Cleanser from St. Ives (can't get enough of the clean scent) but it's making my face really dry lately. Maybe part of it is because I'm pregnant and this baby is stealing all the moisture from my body (heh!).

Anyway, I went back to using YSL's Natural Action Exfoliator to help with the dry patches on my skin. I love this product. It's like magic. You put it on your dry face and just swirl around with your fingers and the heat will help liquify the product. And it smells super amazing!!


I got the sample sized version on ebay and I don't know for sure if it's authentic or not, but it smells and feels exactly the same. A full size costs $44 and the only reason I first got one was because the Nordstrom ladies grabbed me to do a makeover with their guest makeup artist and you know, I just kind of got sucked into their marketing skills. LOL! But I think it was worth it since I went back for another tube =).
