Ohhhh, yeah. There’s a baby in there.
At my doctor’s appointment last week, she prescribed a milkshake. So, hey. Best prescription ever, if you ask me.
The coolest thing ever that has emerged this past week is feeling Baby Boy kicking!! Oh, I love it and am convinced this is something that will never get old. I love lying there in the morning (when he’s most active) and feeling his little kicks. The coolest thing is that Zack can feel him too. Oh, it’s the best. I could lie there all day, really. Makes for a less productive morning, but eh. This is more important than anything else. It’s true.
I’m la-la-loving my Gap maternity leggings and don’t really ever want to take them off. So, there’s that.
Now that the Christmas season is upon us and we’ve already gone to a few holiday parties with lots more partying to come, I’m not gonna lie- I am missing being able to have a cocktail or two. Just keepin’ it real. At least there’s hot chocolate with copious amounts of marshmallows and/or whipped cream to keep me/Baby happy.
My brother Jeremy gets in town on Tuesdayyyy and we’re going to pick him up from the airport and I am SO excited to see him!!! :D There are many Jeopardy showdowns in our near future. It’s kind of our favourite thing to do when we get together. #nerds
I seriously can’t believe how close Christmas is. Like, what? How did this happen? December is flying by and I kind of wish it’d slow down a little, but c’est la vie.
Zack is officially on Christmas Break, so that’s exciting. I hope he won’t get sick of my incessant want to cuddle/ watch Christmas movies/ make fires/ sing carols/ drive around looking at lights/ try to get him to guess what I got him. I can be kind of annoying sometimes. Thankfully he puts up with me. I mean, he really has no choice. I’m housing his child and all. ;)
Do you have any family coming to town?
Are you traveling this holiday season?
What’s your favourite kind of milkshake? I’m taking ideas. ;)

Milkshakes and smoothies were my favorite after I had jaw surgery. Peppermint milkshakes are probably my favorite, but if you mix cream of coconut, pineapple juice and vanilla ice cream, it is ALMOST like you are having a pina colada!
I can imagine they’d be the best after jaw surgery! Ouch!! And omg YES to peppermint milkshakes! I am SO making that happen tonight. :) Thanks for the suggestions!!
xo
Oh my goodness Katie!!! You look adorable, I just can’t get over how cute you look!
Aww thanks Monica!! :) He kinda popped overnight, pretty much.
xo
yay that you get to see your brother! and i feel like i can finally see your cute bump!!!
Yep, the bump is here to stay, I believe!! ;)
xo
Best milkshake I ever had was from In N’ Out. Seriously, they know how to make the best!!
I’ve been waiting to see the bump, you just the cutest little person with a bump :)!!
Jeopardy sounds like fun!!! And I don’t think Zack will mind everything you want to do :)
Mmmm In N Out does have some damn good milkshakes!! And you are so sweet- I have definitely bumped!
xo
Aww! Your bump is getting so round, I love it! Your’e looking amazing girl.
I can’t even remember the last time I had a milkshake (I know, crazy hey?) but I like a good old vanilla one. Its a classic. So exciting that your brother is coming to town, have fun!!
Aw thanks Laura!! :) I like vanilla milkshakes too. Classic!
xo
You look fantastic! Enjoy every moment. It’s amazing.
Aww thanks girl. I am!! :) Can’t believe I’m more than halfway! Time flies!
xo
You look so adorable! I think your little baby bump totally popped since the last photo!
Oh, girl, it most definitely popped overnight!!

I love Gap maternity leggings as well. You look amazing, by the way, especially in that cute striped top.

Aww thanks Erin!! :) YAY for family coming to town!! So fun!

Seriously, could you be any cuter! Love!
Aww thanks girly! :)

My brother’s name is also Jeremy – big brothers named Jeremy are the best! He and his family are coming to visit after Christmas and I’m super excited about it. I may also be super excited about not having to travel this year and therefore having an excuse to really truly decorate my house!
Big brothers named Jeremy are absolutely the best!! :) And YAY for not having to travel! What a nice relaxing change!
xo
Your bump is SO CUTE! I am loving following your bumpdates! I love how real your blog is, keep it up girl! :)
Aww thank you so much, Jessica!! :) You’re so sweet. I’m glad my bumpdates are fun :)
xo
You are the cutest! I love that baby bump!
I love cookie dough milkshakes, they are best but scarce to find! Good luck and enjoy your holidays :)
Yummmm cookie dough milkshakes!! Deeelish! <3

Awww look, it’s a real baby bump now! So exciting that you can feel him in there. I can’t wait for that to happen to me. I mean I can wait cuz, ya know, we won’t be married until next year. But you know what I mean! I’ve always wanted to be a mom and I just can’t wait for it!
You sound like me during this time of year. As soon as my fiance gets home from work, I’m like “ok I recorded this movie so we could watch it together & I made hot chocolate! Oh, and don’t make plans for the weekend because there’s a marathon we just have to watch!” And he thinks I am insane, I’m sure ;)

Awww girl, it’s an amazing feeling when it happens!! But yeah, no rushing anything. ;) Enjoy every moment of just the two of you and all that jazz first. So worth it. <3 And we are so the same person- too funny!! Insane is a good thing, especially at this time of year! It makes for a more fun time!
xo
You are sooooo adorable!! And I agree I wish December would slow down just a tad! The best part of the year is flying by!
YES the best time of year seriously is flying by, more so than usual!!
xo
Isn’t feeling the kicks the coolest thing EVER???
IT IS SOOO COOL!!! Like. Whoa. Crazy cool. :) I love that Zack can feel them too so we can experience it together!
xo
Ooooh a good milkshake… Peanut Butter, Banana and Chocolate!
YUM. So trying that!!
xo
Hot chocolate >>>> Any other holiday drink. Also, I’m the biggest Jeopardy nerd on the planet, so I totally get you there.
Agreed on the hot chocolate. AND Jeopardy! YAY. We get into really intense tournaments when my brothers come to town. It’s the best thing ever. :)
xo
What a cute little baby bump you have! :D
I’m the same way with Chris when he has time off from work. I just want to cuddle when he’s home! ;)
My favorite kind of milkshake is CHOCOLATE. Boring, I know, but so yummy and satisfying.
Yummm girl, there is NOTHING boring about a chocolate milkshake. It is soooo good. And yay for cuddling our men. That’s what the cold weather is best for!
xo
Milkshake? Sounds like a good idea to me! :) that bump is adorrabblleee!

I’m so bummed we don’t have a fireplace though! We just booked a short pre-Christmas trip to Whistler, BC for some snowshoeing/hiking on Dec 23-24 – very excited! :)

cutest bump. We are not traveling at all for Christmas and we are not doing much. But that is okay cause I haven’t really been into Christmas year. That sounds bad but oh well.
