I totally get that nothing can fully prepare you for being a parent, but looking back on our life and what it’s been and how we’ve grown as a couple, I can’t think of a more perfect time that right now to start our little family. And if people thought that we could have already had kids during the different things we’ve been through in our marriage, like the military, fire academies, living apart or paramedic school, I’ll let them go ahead and do their lives that way. I know that’s a lot of stuff to have on our list before we had kids, but ultimately that’s what we felt like would be best for us. So my answer to how do you know if you’re ready for kids isn’t ehhh whenever, there’s never a right time.

It was funny too actually because I didn’t really crave it as much either and didn’t get any headaches at all when I stopped! I’m usually a push until you can’t go anymore kind of girl at the gym and slightly competitive with myself and whoever I’m working out with, but I have let that go with being pregnant. My skinnier skinny jeans don’t really fit anymore and at the end of the day, I feel bloated and like my tummy is sticking out at least a little more than usual. If there’s something I didn’t answer, let me know, and I’ll be sure to get back to you or include it in my next post!

We can’t believe we’re going to be PARENTS. It’s funny because I always thought that when I finally got to post that I was pregnant, I would feel like I’d been keeping this huge secret or lying to you guys because maybe someone would suspect that I was pregnant, but I actually just feel like it’s the perfect timing, and I didn’t feel like I was really hiding anything at any point. I kept saying no I don’t think so, I just feel like I do when I’m going to start my period! 😛 I really didn’t expect to see a thing other than one little line indicating I wasn’t pregnant but when we flipped it over there was the faintest second line.

So as of two days ago when I found the cutest barrette at Target, I’ve decided I’m super into hair clips/barrettes for this next season. and I figured they’d be cute for when we’re in Hawaii next week and my hair is all crazy from the humidity! If you’re looking at ordering from Asos, they’re the best because they have free shipping and free returns!
