  • It’s due date day!! Ready for this lil one to stop kicking my ribs & enter the world #anytimenow #40weekspregnant #babyA 👶🏻💗
  • Let’s talk pregnancy weight gain.
•
I’ve gotten a few messages from women talking about how it’s been difficult to see their body change and talking about how positive I’ve been about pregnancy, but I totally agree that pregnancy weight gain is difficult & I’ve definitely struggled at times seeing my body change as well!
•
It’s really hard to see your body getting bigger and trying to feel confident in that new, different shape. I’ve found the best way to combat this is to stay active! Working out throughout my pregnancy has helped me to gain a healthy amount of weight, feel good mentally, & hopefully help prepare my body for labor. I’ve worked out pretty consistently atleast 3 to 4 days a week (the difficulty of these workouts have been have greatly varied based on the trimester & how I’ve felt!). I’ve also been eating more but trying not to totally overdo it, and most importantly, know that this is all temporary so to try to embrace the changes! 
•
I have huge workout goals I want to reach after baby is here, but for now, I am appreciating my body for growing this life and acting confident with this new, bigger body because it has literally grown a human life & that is a MIRACLE and BEAUTIFUL!
  • It’s really hitting us that we are about to become PARENTS any day now!😍😊🤗 
•
Any last minute bucket list things we should do before she comes? 👶🏻 
Lately I’ve been enjoying sleeping in because I know that’s not gonna happen for a while ;)
•
Also who is this girl and where is her bump!? This was @ #11weekspregnant
  • How much is baby going to weigh & What day will she come?! Her due date is 8 days away so the countdown is on 😍.
•
I had an ultrasound this week that said she weighs 7 pounds 1 ounce, but I’ve heard those are not always accurate (like at all) so drop your guesses below!! (Also don’t say she will come after March 5th or I will hate you for putting that idea out into the universe 😜)
  • So surreal to think that a little over 9 years ago we were strangers & now we wake up next to each other every morning & are together practically everyday 😅.
•
This Valentine’s Day, we visited the botanical gardens where we got married and reminisced about how far we’ve come.
->Met in January 2012 in Chemistry. We were both dating other people but became good friends. 
->Went on our first date October 2012.
->Said I love you for the first time November 2012. 
•
...Fast forward almost 9 years, many ups and downs and so many memories later, here we are married and having a baby! I don’t think my 17-year-old self would believe this would be my life at 25, but I couldn’t be more happy that I have Ryan to experience life with and grow together ❤️

  • Missing taking day/weekend trips to views like this! We definitely took full advantage of our time in Utah & I’ll forever be grateful for that. Now these views look like we are standing in front of a green screen to me, they are so different from here in Georgia 😅 But I’m so excited for everything that lies ahead & to take our baby girl on fun adventures like these in the future 🤗
