Sunday Best Outfit and 14 weeks!


Well, I am 14 weeks pregnant and feeing great! My energy is back and I am feeling like my old self again, which I am so thankful for!! I am also still able to fit into my regular jeans, YAY! So, I am wearing them as long as possible!  But, I must say by the end of the day feel a little tight in the waist, as my bump expands :) 

I am determined to wear non-maternity clothes for as long as I can this pregnancy, to avoid buying a whole separate wardrobe. I think my first pregnancy I was so excited to show off my growing bump and wear actual maternity clothes, I went out and bought a ton of stuff I didn't need until I was 7 months along! 

This time around I will be able to wear my maternity wear from my previous prenancy, along with some newer regular sized items, that are loose fitting and larger sizes. I want to prove to ladies you can feel cute and fashionable, while rocking your growing baby bump :)

I have stocked up on a few of my maternity wear staples, over the last few weeks, in anticipation of my growing waistline. I will be sharing those with you soon. 

My Sunday Best outfit for church:
Fur Vest: thrifted
Blouse: Old Navy
Skinny Jeans: Levi's 
Boots: Anthropolgie
Necklace: The Deal Diva online boutique 

Blessings,

We're expecting baby # 2!


My husband and I are thrilled to share the happy news that we are expecting our second child!! We feel beyond blessed to be able to grow our family, and somewhat unexpectly! It was a wonderful surprise in early fall that learned of this awesome news. I am due the end of May, 2015! 

The first trimester was not an easy one. Plagued with morning sickness, (all day long) and incredible fatigue. Not to mention caring for a baby, now newly toddler, and all our family lives out of state! We were in survival mode for the month of October. Most of my time was spent in sweats on the couch, while my son played on the floor with his toys and books. My house was a disaster, cleaning was not a top priority for me! Cooking was not an option for me, so we ate carry out and bland foods. 

But we made it through the first trimester  and I am incredibly grateful for my husband stepping up and helping out in this very busy and trying season. He is such a wonderful, hands on Daddy to our son. Even though he works an incredibly tough job in law enforcement, he made time to help out around the house, cook, clean, grocery shop and graciously love me even through my hormonal meltdowns! I am so grateful for him and realize I am a very lucky woman!!

Now that I am in my second trimester, I am excited to share my journey of pregnancy with all of you and be transparent about all of my moments; the good, the bad and the ugly!

I will be posting about the following:
*My maternity fashion 
*Fitness and weight gain 
* Nutrition 
* Natural Childbirth 
* Adventures of raising a toddler
* And all that I am learning along the way!

Thanks for following along :)

Blessings,
Sarah
