Bumps and Babies: Weeks 35-37

 It's game time, baby... Almost . Where do I even being? I mean, I'm getting ready to close the biggest chapter of my life at this point...and open a brand new book. A BABY BOOK. I've talked about this a lot before, but now that I can actually safely deliver at any point, it makes it even more real - I'm going to miss being pregnant. I have to be honest - the later weeks are a little more exhausting. The little bump days are sweet and cute. When you go from that "is she pregnant or gaining weight?" phase to the "how cute! She's pregnant!"  But after 36 weeks, the ride gets a little more rough. The belly is B I G and the body is A C H Y. Walking hurts. Sleeping through the night is impossible - your constantly up (mentally and physically) trying to readjust your body. Small tasks are hard work. And everything is pretty much exhausting. You hit a point of - okay...my body is ready to have this baby. But when I think about that too much, and what th...

Bumps and Babies: Weeks 28-30 Update

HELLLOOOO I'm baaaaack and bigger than ever ;) Three whole weeks have flown by since we last talked about my Peanut journey - and in pregnancy terms...that's a lot of time 😅 In all honesty, I busied myself with some freelance work and prioritized getting it done. Plus, it had been a little while since I had a big assignment, and I was genuinely excited to #werk.   I'm a writer, so my days consist of looking at a computer screen. I also create my own content and social media displays for other businesses, so that too means a lot of eyeball to screen time, too. The last thing I wanted to do after spending hours like this 💻👀 was do more of that. So blogs needed a break. But here we go...Updates!   Three weeks ago was Thanksgiving. Usually Austin and I house hop around and see both of our families. But this year, we stayed quarantined...   We rarely get sick thanks to our strong immune systems. Growing up with a mom who's a doctor and being married to a man who's a ...

Bumps and Babies: Weeks 26-27 Recap

 Officially kissing the 2nd trimester goodbye! And we went out with a bang 💣 At the time I'm writing this, I am just a few days into my 3rd trimester. But thinking about the last couple of weeks is crazy to me. I finished my last 2nd trimester milestone for the first time in my life. And we did it big. I'm talking staying up all night, partying, laughing until you're red in the face, early 2000's jams, and lots and lots of belly rubs. People always ask me how I'm feeling.  I know I've said that pregnancy isn't easy - and it's not. I mean it's just something completely new and different that you and your body have never gone through before. But I do have to admit that I've had a pretty beautiful ride during all phases of mine. There were some bumps in the road..or on my face I should say...A few extra happy and emo tears shed, some weird food dislikes, and lots of sweet treat cravings... So all in all, Peanut and I have been cruising along quite ...

Bumps and Babies: Weeks 24-25 Update

 Did someone say pregnancy brain ? I could have sworn I was all caught up...turns out I was a week behind 😅 This whole time, I thought I was taking mental notes for a recap on my most recent week. Laa dee daa. Then I realized I didn't even recap on last week! It's honestly fine. As I get closer to the end, I feel like the weeks all kind of mesh and blur together. The biggest change I notice, is baby Greys growing home - my baby belly. Big, big baby Grey :) As the end of each week approaches, I get all of the pings and dings from updates on my pregnancy apps. They give me insight on what changes I can expect for the upcoming week, and that I am in fact, one week closer to meeting the Peanut. And every single time this happens, I have to pick my jaw up from the floor because I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. Week 24 was exciting because it was officially my 6th month of pregnancy. An entire half year spent brewing up a perfect little Peanut. 6 months spent adjust...
