I'm a day late and dollar short but I didn't forget about this post. This one is special because it's my BARE belly. Yeah, BARE. Stretch marks, dirty mirror, and all.

Today marks 35 weeks (according to LMP. According to Yoda bear's size, I'm pretty close to 37 weeks). Let's check in to see how he's holding up.

So we pretty much have everything we need for Yoda's arrival. Well, everything but the tub. Finding a good tub is hard. We want a tub that's good quality and can last for at least a couple of years, well into toddlerdom. Though, we did receive this gem at the baby shower:

Today is my birthday. Two years ago, I was pregnant on my birthday and actually announced it the same day. It was easier to have people tell me Happy Birthday and wish me congratulations at the same time. Though I did announce to my Facebook friends and family a few weeks ago I was expecting and debuted a few of our maternity photos, I've been pretty quiet on Facebook.

This post is a continuation of some of the baby shower swag Yoda has received. It was quite a bit! Let's check it out:
After doing much research, I couldn't decide which breastfeeding pillow I wanted - the Boppy or MyBrestFriend. I decided to go with the Boppy because a lot of my Mommy friends had it and highly recommended it. Unfortunately, I ended up receiving two Boppy pillows (the

This week's FBM post is another special one. It's a sneak peek from the maternity photo shoot. I'm really anxious to see the rest of the pictures. Our photographer (a high-school/longtime friend of mine) took 260 pics so I really can't wait to see which ones made the final cut!
This picture is pretty emotional for a number of reasons. You may have noticed our Molly Bear, Ethan, is centered
I just saw my MFM this past Friday and Yoda is measuring 35 weeks. Yeah, me thinks I'll be giving birth sooner than later. I will update on that in a later post. For now, let's check to see how Mr. Yoda Bear is doing.

We saw our MFM this past Friday. I also received another NST. Yoda bear is doing fabulous and great! We got a great pic of him when he wasn't trying to cover his face with an arm. He officially has Mommy's lips. Oh dear. My son is going to be a heartbreaker. I need to get out the shovels and shotguns. Forget daddies being protective of their little girls;

This is a letter I wrote to my son after the baby shower last Sunday.
Dear Yoda,
Today was a big day. We had a baby shower in your honor. I finally revealed that I'm pregnant with you and received a lot of support and overwhelming love. I spoke of your brother and you. I decided that I really liked the name, Bogdan, and that will probably be your name when
Though I'm well into my eighth month of pregnancy, we're still going by LMP until I give birth, whenever that is. Let's check to see how Yoda is doing now!
