Today would have been the day that I thought I’d be posting another update from bed rest, and celebrating that we hit 31 weeks. But I think Romy, Piper, and God were in cahoots with plans of their own, because instead we are celebrating that today they are a week old! That’s right, Romy and Piper. Romy Jean Nyman and Piper James Nyman came into this world Thursday morning, September 7th, at 11:19 am and…
You guys – we have two REALLY amazing things to celebrate today. We hit 30 WEEKS GESTATION AND I GOT DISCHARGED TODAY! We didn’t think there was any chance of this happening for at least two more weeks. But I’m on strict orders to be as mellow as I’ve been at the hospital – total bed rest, only getting up to go to the bathroom and shower. Let’s hope Blake doesn’t kill me before this…
Let me start this post by saying that I can’t believe I’m writing it. When my doctor’s office called to say that I have gestational diabetes, I felt a mix of frustration, denial, anger and sadness – but I think I was mostly super embarrassed. I had wanted to deny the dreaded glucose test, thinking there’s no way I had diabetes and didn’t want to drink that nasty sugary stuff. I went ahead and took…
Here’s my advice about maternity photos: just do them. Even if you think they are cheesy, or if you don’t love your body, or you don’t know what to wear. I was debating on whether or not to do them, and we decided to just because we were up at Sundance (where Blake grew up and where we got married). The beauty of Sundance and it’s significance to us convinced me. I was admitted to…
Today marks exactly a week in the hospital, and it also happens to be our 29-Week mark! Each week we make it with these babies in is HUGE, so needless to say we are celebrating today!So many good things have happened since I last posted an update. Life on the 4th floor is good – I’ve fallen into a little routine and that keeps me positive each day! I DID get wheelchair privileges, so I’ve…
Before I landed myself in the hospital, I was still on the hunt for good maternity clothes. I was pretty excited to discover BAE the Label, and of course they’re out of Australia ;). I’m linking some of my favorite pieces below. Now that I’m the hospital, I’m extra grateful for some of the cozier shirts and sweats I have from them ;). We snapped these first few photos on the way to my doctor’s…
We had a bit of a scare this last week and landed ourselves in the hospital, and now that things have calmed down a bit I wanted to share it with you on here. It might be a lot of detail, but one of my favorite things right now is to hear stories of people who have been in my situation and have gone on to have healthy babies. So I thought I’d share my…
Guys, I’m learning all kinds of new words, acronyms, and terms since I’ve become pregnant, but I have to say that one of my favorites (and probably the fanciest) is concept of a “layette”. I found out what it meant when I was trying to figure out WHAT exactly I needed clothes-wise for the babies in the beginning, and I stumbled upon the brand Monica + Andy. I just wanted somebody to put together a little…
Last week, I decided to start asking you guys for advice. Considering I’ve never taken a pregnancy this far until now, I’ll be the first to admit that I am not yet an expert ;). I posted on Instagram asking you guys what you do to help your leg cramps, and I loved hearing your responses! First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who did respond. Since every pregnancy is SO…
This is the first time I’ve really shopped the baby section of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and it was so much fun! I combed through all of the baby clothing and gear and picked my favorites for you below! FINN + EMMA GIFT SETS I am kind of obsessed with the brand Finn + Emma, so I was so excited to see that they had little gift sets as part of the sale! The clothes…
