As I write this I can't believe that I am one week away from my due date! I was really expecting these last couple weeks to drag, but they truly flew by. I had a check up with my doctor today and we scheduled an official induction date if little miss is stubborn and decides not to come out. I'm really hoping & praying that she comes on her own though. I don't think I can wait about 2 more weeks to meet her. I have a feeling this weekend will consist of a lot of long walks and whatever else we can do to speed this process along :)

{Due Date} May 2, 2015....8 days till my due date!!

{Gender} Sweet baby girl!

{Name} Her initials are KGS

{Baby's Size} On average about 7 pounds and over 19 inches and I am totally feeling like she's huge at this point! This belly is large & in charge!! 

{Sleep} Last week I was barely getting any sleep, but I am happy to report that things have gotten a little better this week. I have even slept for about 3 hours at a time. Winning in my book! 

{Cravings} I'm not really craving anything in particular. I am hungry pretty much 24/7 at this point! I am really trying to over indulge, but I am still giving into the sweets. It's weird too because I have found that I really crave junk food lately!

{Food Aversion} Pretty much anything that has spice. It gives me the most intense heartburn. I still try to eat spicy food since I love it, but right away I always regret it.

{Feeling} Sick! This week I came down with a lovely cold that one of my coworkers shared with me. As if being 38 weeks pregnant wasn't hard enough, adding a cold into the mix has made this week a long one. Thankfully, I am starting to feel better and today marks my last day of work. I can't wait to sleep in next week!! Yay for maternity leave!

{Missing Anything} My pre-pregnancy body! As I see all the adorable clothes being released for summer I can't help but find myself dying to get back in shape. I'm dying to go romper shopping!

{Baby Girl Fashion Finds} This week we have been all about sleepers with feet. After I did all her laundry I noticed that we have a ton of cute outfit for her, but hardly any sleepers in newborn and 0-3 month size. My mom, Aunt, and myself made it our mission to find some. Now she has quite the collection and I love them all! I have to say my favorite brand that I have come across is Little Me. They have the most adorable prints with bows and ruffles. I got this cheetah one  and a couple really print soft floral ones that aren't online. I also love this one! 

{Best Moment Of The Week} Hearing our doctor say that she's in the perfect position and extremely low. Even though I haven't dilated yet, it's a sign that she could be coming shortly.

{Looking Forward To} Possibly meeting our little girl in the next week! 

XOXO, Kayla

.35 & 36 Weeks Baby Bump Update.

Guess what?! We are moving again. Yes, you heard me right. I will be 37 weeks this Saturday and as if I wasn't tired enough we decided to throw moving into the mix. But in all seriousness, I am excited. It was the condo we had been waiting on and even though the timing was a little off there was no way we could pass it up. I am very excited to get our little ones room all set up. I'm just praying and praying she doesn't decide to make her entrance too early. 

{Due Date} May 2, 2015

{Gender} Sweet baby girl!

{Name} Her initials are KGS

{Baby's Size} About the size of a head of romaine lettuce. Average of 6 pounds and 18 inches long.

{Sleep} Not much different than last week. I did have one night this week that I slept from 9:00pm all the way until 3:00 without waking up to pee!! This was the best night of sleep I have got in about 6 months. It was a really nice treat!

{Cravings} No surprise here, still loving sweets!

{Food Aversion} I don't know what it is, but I really think our little one is not a fan of Mexican food. I had rolled tacos (my fav!) the other day and got sick within two hours. So sad!

{Feeling} Huge!!! Well in my belly. I have noticed that my belly has dropped and grown these last two weeks. It looks like I shoved a basketball under my shirt. It's great because I know baby girl is growing and packing on the pounds. I would be lying though if I didn't tell you it wasn't a little uncomfortable. My belly is starting to feel very tight. It's really tight after I eat. Over the last 6 or 7 days I have noticed a significant slow down. I can't do things as fast and I get pretty winded from running up and down our stairs. I knew this time was coming but it definitely snuck up on me. I know I should be taking advantage of this and resting but there's too much that needs to be done before she gets here.

{Missing Anything} Having ankles! Just Kidding...well kind of ;)

{Baby Girl Fashion Finds} I have been a really good girl these last two week and haven't bought one clothing item for her! I've really shocked myself. Etsy has been calling my name! I am currently dying over these little boat shoes!! Anytime there's a collaboration between two of my favorite retailers, J.Crew and Sperry, you know the outcome is going to be great. I seriously die over these! The neon pink sold me. I'd really, really like a pair in my size too!!

We also picked up her diaper bag this past weekend. I don't know what it was, but I couldn't make up my mind when it came to finding the perfect diaper bag! I knew what I wanted in my head, but it was nowhere to be found. I'm personally not a fan of all the over the top floral or cartoon like patterns that most brands sell. Heck, this bag is going to be taking the place of my purse most of the time so I want it to my stylish. I thought about buying a regular purse and turning into a diaper bag, but quickly decided against it. I also tried to keep in mind that Tyler will occasionally be toting this around without me. In the end, we went with this one. I love the subtle design and the gold details. I'm also a huge fan of the changing pad that folds out!

{Best Moment Of The Week} I started doing all her laundry and it was the cutest. I never thought I could enjoy doing laundry :)

Watching Tyler and his good friend Tony put together her crib and dresser. I've been dreaming of this day and it was finally here.

We also went to a check up yesterday. It was a relief to find out that everything is still going great and baby looks healthy. I do have to go back in next week for a non-stress test because she wants to keep an eye on a couple things. But all in all, everything was perfect!

{Looking Forward To} Getting all moved in and settled in our new place! 

XOXO, Kayla

{Tyler's usually behind the camera so it was nice to get some pictures together. I loved them so much I had to share! He's so handsome :) Even after all these years he still gives me butterflies......P.S. It was so windy down at the bay, so please forgive my crazy hair!!}

Happy Monday! I hope you had an amazing Easter weekend. Ours was jam packed with Birthday parties, family coming into to town, and spending time with our loved ones. Of course it was a great weekend. I just wish it didn't go by so fast. I'm really looking forward to next weekend because we are going to be celebrating Tyler's birthday! I got a couple surprises up my sleeve and I can't wait to celebrate him!

Today I'm teaming up with my fellow stylish mama-to-be bloggers to do our spin on Spring/Easter looks. I love the looks that everyone came up with. I think they're my favorite so far! Make sure you check out their blogs for inspiration! I will link everyone's blog below.

Wrap dresses are probably one of the most flattering outfits I have worn this pregnancy. They hug you in the right places and lay perfectly. This navy and coral style from Pink Blush Maternity is absolutely stunning. I'm loving this color combo and pattern for spring. Not to mention this dress is the softest thing I have ever worn! You'll never want to take it off. I'm going to try and get as much wear out of it as I can in the next 4 weeks before our little girl is here! I truly think it will be just as flattering after, so don't be surprised if you see me wearing it well into summer. Bonus, my favorite new sunnies that I scored from Forever 21 matched perfectly! Don't you love when that happens?!

{Size Tip, I was worried that I would need to size up in this dress because it looked tight online. I went ahead and ordered a small, my pre-pregnancy weight, and it fits perfectly! It's even long enough and I'm on the tall side. Hope this helps!}

.Hot Pink Tunic & A Giveaway.

Leggings, c/o Preggo Leggings // Tunic, c/o Impressions Boutique // Sunnies, Forever 21 {under $6!}// Sandals, Just Fab // Necklace, old {similar here} // Bracelets, c/o INPINK Style & J.Crew {old, obsessed with this one & it's 30% off with code SPRINGSTYLE} // Belt, Target // Lipstick, MAC 'St. Germain'

When I say that these leggings are heaven sent I am not exaggerating. They answered all my fashion prayers as far as comfort. You would think finding a pair of pregnancy leggings would be an easy task...wrong! I have tried all kinds and all different price points. These are, without a doubt, my favorite. They are not at all see through, don't loose their color even after many washes, and feel like you are wearing you favorite pj's. All the while still looking stylish! I really couldn't ask for more when shopping for leggings. I plan on wearing them in the weeks after baby is here too.

Another item I have been loving is this hot pink tunic from Impressions boutique. It's my first piko tunic and totally won't be my last. It's so soft and comfortable. It comes in every color imaginable and also in a shorter version. I chose the longer version because after baby is here I can wear it as a dress. It's super light so it would be perfect summer nights. 

I have great news for all your mamas to be. Preggo Leggings has been so kind and they are graciously giving away a $60 shop credit to one lucky mama! So you could get yourself a pair of leggings or two and see what all the hype is about. You could also get that adorable "Preggo Is The New Black" sweater that I wore on the blog here. I think it's an absolute must for every fashionable expecting mama! It's extremely simple to enter, just head over to Instagram and make sure you are following myself {here} and Preggo Leggings {here}. Comment on my photo from today and tell me what you craved while you are/were pregnant. It's that easy! Winner will be announced Wednesday, April 1st on Instagram. Good Luck!!

.33 & 34 Week Baby Bump Update.

{Behind the scenes at our maternity photo shoot over the weekend. Flower crown c/o Little Fox Flower Shop}

I know I say this often but really where has the time gone?? I've heard the last month or so kind of drags so I'm hoping things stay moving along. I have definitely felt very pregnant these last two weeks. I have even noticed that my belly has dropped slightly. All little signs that we are getting closer and closer to the end!

{Due Date} May 2, 2015

{Gender} Sweet baby girl!

{Name} Her initials are KGS

{Baby's Size} About the size of a cantaloupe. On average she's about 4 3/4 pounds & 18 inches long. I swear she's bigger than that. When ever she moves or kicks it kind of takes my breath away! 

{Sleep} Sleep....a thing of the past! While over the past couple weeks I felt like this was getting better, that quickly changed! By the time I get comfortable, it's about time to wake up to go pee! I try to hold it as long as I can, but that's torture. On top of tossing and turning, the leg cramps, and pee breaks, we have a freaking rooster & dog across the street that will NOT shut up!! Yes, you heard me right, a rooster!! I have decided I could never live on a farm.

{Cravings} Sweets, sweets, and more sweets :) Even after weeks of craving all things sweet, it still blows my mind because before this pregnancy I never had much of a sweet tooth! I also have been craving a veggie sandwich with avocado almost everyday for lunch! The sad thing is that I have been craving a Dr. Pepper with it too. I have never been much of  a soda drinker, like maybe 1 soda every 6 months. But, now I crave it! Don't worry, this is the one craving I have been trying with all my might not to give into. I allow myself to have one every now and then, but I try to stick to sparkling water. Speaking of, Arrowhead has this flavor "Watermelon & Lime" and it's out of this world delicious! For all you none pregnant peeps, it would totally make a yummy cocktail!!

{Food Aversion} Nothing has really been bothering me. One of my coworkers does eat tuna a lot and the smell has been quite annoying! I think it should be an office rule that you're not allowed to eat tuna in the office more than once a week ;)

{Feeling} Hmmm..all over the place! I have to say that for the most part I feel like myself emotionally. I'm usually in a great mood and don't feel grumpy. There are moments though where the hormones do take over. For instance, we were sitting in a parenting class the other night when the teacher was talking about C-sections. She was mentioning if for some reason we have to get one, that Tyler would have to do skin to skin with the baby while they put me back together. The whole time she was talking about I thought I was going to cry. I had that lump in the throat feeling. I don't even know why! It has to be the hormones, right?! 

{Missing Anything} This is always a tough question for me to answer every week. There's really nothing that I miss that much that out weighs carrying around our little girl. Truthfully, it's all worth it! Even the swollen feet and lack of sleep :)

{Baby Girl Fashion Finds} I was in Old Navy the other day, I know shocking! haha. They had baby espadrilles 50% off. They were way too cute to pass up. I ended up getting a pair of denim peep toes that have a cute little bow on top. They aren't online but these white ones are adorable too! I also died over this floral denim jacket! I was a good girl and didn't get it, but I may have to make a trip back because I think baby girl needs it for summer, right?! Loving this & this too!

{Best Moment Of The Week} We had the hospital tour at the beginning of the week. I had been looking forward to this ever since I booked it about 2 months ago. We got to go everything we need to know from where to park, where to check in depending on the time of day, and we even got to see the rooms! While we there I kept reminding myself that in a little over a month we were going to be there. Pinch me :)

Another moment that I absolutely loved was taking our maternity photos this past weekend. This was something that I dreamed about ever since the moment I found out we were expecting. The day was perfect. We shot in two locations, both completely different and equally dreamy. Our photographer, Jessie Morgan was an absolute doll and made the day a blast. We should have the pictures back shortly and I can't wait to share them with you guys!

{Looking Forward To} Having a weekend that isn't jam packed with plans. We have had something every weekend since the beginning of the year. This is our last weekend that we have no plans before our little ones due date too. I'm really looking forward to relaxing, getting organized, and starting some baby laundry! Never thought I would look forward to washing clothes.

XOXO, Kayla

This past Saturday the weather was perfect and we spent most of our day by the coast. We had a pretty long day packed with fun activities. Since it was going to be warm, and I get hot so easy these days, I knew I wanted to wear a little sun dress. I've mentioned many times on here and Instagram that I have been trying to shop with my after pregnancy body in mind. Being so close to the end I don't want to spend a lot of money on Maternity clothes. On Friday I was doing a "quick" Target run when I browsed in the ladies section. This dress immediately caught my eye! I was pretty excited when I tried it on and it fit. I do have to be careful these days because my belly can make dresses look a little too short and that's not cute! I love the boho feeling this dress has. It was under $25 too which makes me love it even more! It also comes in a skirt version that's pretty cute.

Between the weather and all the new spring lines hitting stores, I am dreaming of new items to add to my wardrobe! I'm obsessing over this dress and this dress for after the baby is here! My cousin wore the pink dress to my shower and it was adorable! The perfect summer dress, it looked like something you should wear in Palm Desert!

.32 Week Baby Bump Update.

Dress, c/o Pink Blush Maternity {exact style sold out, loving this & this} // Necklace, c/o Striped Boutique // Bracelets, J.Crew, J.Crew {old} // Sunnies, Karen Walker

How perfect is this daisy dress for spring?! Pink Blush Maternity did it again with this little number. With the insane heat wave we have been having here in San Diego, I've basically been living in dresses!  It's nice to have cute options like this one hanging in my closet. It would also make the perfect Easter dress. I also think this gorgeous necklace was made to wear with it!

{Due Date} May 2, 2015

{Gender} Sweet baby girl!

{Name} Her initials are KGS

{Baby's Size} According to my apps, she's about the size of a large papaya, jicama, or a Honeydew melon. It feels like she's the size of a watermelon! Her movements this week have gotten even more intense. They're my favorite because I know she's growing and healthy, but man sometimes they can almost take your breath away.

{Sleep} No complaints as far as falling and staying asleep! I really think it's because we have so much going on, once I lay down my body is just ready to go to sleep. The only thing that's a little hard is getting out of bed. When I wake up in the morning or for a pee break it feels like I have been sleeping on rocks! My back is just not in a happy place right now.

{Cravings} My sweet tooth is in full force and I think getting crazier! I've been munching on left over cake from our shower most of the week. Don't worry I balance it out with fruits and veggies.

{Food Aversion} Still None!

{Feeling} Great! I'm feeling a lot better and way less stressed than I did last week. I owe a lot of this to Tyler. He's so good at not letting things get to him and has such a positive outlook on everything! He keeps me sane :) This week I have been pretty tired.  It has gotten a little harder to get out of bed in the morning. We still go to bed rather early (around 9:00pm) but 5:45am always seems to roll around too early in the morning. I am looking forward to sleeping in one day this weekend! God willing, it always seems like we wake up early on the weekends even if we try to sleep in haha.

{Missing Anything} Kind of a funny one this week, but I miss being able to shave my legs normally. I have reached the point where I have to sit down in the shower to achieve this task. I use coconut oil as shaving cream so it does get a little slippery. That mixed with my big huge belly in the way is a recipe for disaster ;)

{Baby Girl Fashion Finds} Basically every single outfit we received at the shower!! 

{Best Moment Of The Week} The best moment hands down was baby girl's baby shower this past weekend! The day was magical and just perfect. My mom, Tyler's mom, and Aunt really out did themselves. They made my vision come to life and I couldn't have asked for a better day. I am so thankful for all our loved ones that came out and celebrated our little miracle! She is beyond loved already and sure did get spoiled! Girlfriend has the best wardrobe already. I can't wait to see her wear all her little outfits!! I plan on sharing some pictures and details from the shower shortly here on the blog!

Another note worthy moment this week was my 32 week check up. We discussed my birth plan and went over what would happen at the next appointment. My doctor informed me that we only have two more appointments and if there's no progress by the end of week 38, we schedule my induction date! I can't believe we are about 6-7 weeks away from meeting our little girl!! 

XOXO, Kayla
