I N S T A G R A M

You know what's annoying AF about being pregnant? Besides EVERYONE'S willingness to comment on your body and even touch it without permission... It's that people basically have two stances on babies. Which of course, they're happy to tell you. . 1) Sleep while you can. You won't sleep again for a very long time. Your body will never be the same. Your whole life is about to change. EVERYTHING is about to change... Said in that knowing way, telling you that you have NO IDEA. Well no shit. I had no idea what driving a car was going to be like and neither did you! . 2) Babies are a blessing. Basically I stop listening there, but insert rainbows and butterflies with some warm and fuzzy talk that basically sounds like an ad for homeschooling. . My question is, why is there no in between?! If you have a story, where you cried nonstop for the first six months, but you rose up from that pile of dirty diapers and you think that 80% of the time being a parent doesn't suck... Please feel free to share. I'd love to hear a middle of the road kind of story. If you fall into category 1 or 2, please just give a double tap and keep scrolling. 😘
I was told my husband would try to steal my pregnancy pillow, but I didn't know I was going to have to fight the dog off too. 🙈 What has been your ticket to a restful sleep during pregnancy?
Yesterday I saw a lovely anniversary post on @rebeccajoyplumb's feed and I literally had an "OH SHIT" moment. Did I forget my anniversary?? A quick glance at my desk phone... phew! It's tomorrow. I shouted out loud to my coworkers and they asked me, "do you think @mrgoddard forgot." Ummm.. no, probably not. . So THANKFULLY, I had 24 hours to come up with a photo and a perfect caption. Now let me shove my love in your face as one is expected to do on these occasions. . Did I get him a gift? No. Did I get him a card? That's TBD, but I'm pretty confident he knows I love him without all those things. I also find him so hard to shop for! Am I the only one that finds their husband difficult to shop for? He usually buys what he wants unless it's like a $500 pair of shoes... I can't lie though, the shoes were really awesome. Google 'Beverly Hills Hotel shoes'. What would probably make him the happiest right now is if I just let him continue buying baby stuff? Did you see my story on Sunday? The man loves to prepare. Thank goodness because I like to stick my head in the sand like an ostrich. Do they actually stick their heads in the sand? ANYWAYS. . This Fourth of July I'll have known JG eight years and today marks our four year wedding anniversary. Right now, I love him more than I loved him four years ago. He is THE most supportive dad-to-be. I'm not one to be all mushy gushy, but he is. Massages on the daily, encourages me to spend whatever kind of money I need to feel good in my clothing, listens to every concern or crazy rambling (ummm mango lemonade?!) and he takes it all in stride. I could not imagine what this next chapter would be like without him in our lives. However, I do NOT love him when he's hogging the bathroom at night or wanting to hang out with me like all the time, but hey! Whose marriage is perfect?
Things I think about on the daily: home decor (but not really decorating the baby's room 🤣), being pregnant, how long till I can get in bed again, asking myself if I've forgotten anything, telling myself I should go to the gym, what's yummy that I want to eat? · Something that I have NOT thought about in a really long time? I need to post on Instagram. I need to update my blog. And this morning I realized, while I've been living my life, I lost over 200 followers! 😱 Part of my was like, damn you're lame with your 800+ followers, but then I was like NAH - you're cool in real life and I still love you Insta. · I mean, I'm never gonna be insta-famous, but I started a blog a million years ago because I liked the idea of putting cool stuff into the universe and getting feedback on life and cupcakes. Yes, cupcakes. I'm still getting that out of my online/social world. It's just changed. And I bet it will keep changing. · That's what I love so much about stories! 💚Thanks @kailanicole for getting me on the bandwagon. Aren't polls the greatest?! · How do you create real life, social balance? Am I weirdo for even laying here in bed at 6:30 in the morning, thinking about this stuff? Do you even notice when people are absent on social? What's your favorite part about Instagram? Do you even GIF?
