A Pink Bump

A month later and quite a bit bigger, we are already in March!  I can't believe that I am 6 months along! My belly feels like it could be a load or jumping jacks, not a small child inside.  She is always moving and sometimes, in the worse ways possible.  She seems to pick the most inopportune time to find the worst possible position resulting in the most pain (but isn't that what kids are for?).  Work is getting harder and harder for me to continue.  Have you ever tried to take care of others while also taking care of a tiny little person inside of you?  It can be exhausting.

I have finally tried a new bra.  Call me crazy but the girls got out of control. So I finally took the advice of a fellow mom and got a nursing bra by Medela from the store and I am never going back!  It is easily the most comfortable bra I have ever worn in my life.
It is called the Medela Ultra-Stretch Nursing Bra.  It took me awhile to find it, but the Babies R Us had a huge selection of different kinds too.  I trusted the Medela brand and am more than happy that I did. They also have a nursing tank top that I plan on purchasing, if it is half as comfortable as this bra it will be completely worth the money.  

I have also gotten something for tummy support while I am at work. Believe it or not it is completely comfortable.  It was definitely daunting to put on the first time, with all the strap A to point B directions, but it not only supports my bump- but it also relieves the stress from my back.  It also seems to help my posture and thus makes my feet hurt less at the end of a shift.  I would definitely recommend to anyone who spends long shifts on their feet while pushing into their third trimester.  I went with a Babies R Us belly support.  I needed something a little more than a simple band.  Definitely worth it as well.  

I did have a little fun moment, by that I mean I figured something out for the little one.  I set up an email account for my little one.  I have been sending her emails almost everyday.  Pictures and just little somethings for her to have to mark the entire journey.  I plan on sending her pictures and stories and everything throughout her entire life, and for her 18th birthday I will give her the password and she can have a time capsule of her entire life, even the parts she wasn't quite here for yet.  

Hopefully I can keep up with it.  I am clearly not the best at things like this.  But I hope I can for her.

   
I had to share this darling picture from the shoot. I might let y'all see more soon, but I definitely love how this picture came out.  Any questions or suggestions for me, please let me know!  I would love to talk about things you guys would actually want to read about!
