The Perfect Fall Plaid




Top: Old Navy (non maternity)
Scarf: Similar at Mindy Mae's Market
Shoes: Tory Burch
Watch: Fossil
Bracelets: Alex & Ani
Bracelet: Similar at J.Crew

Happy Monday everyone! I had a nice relaxing weekend up at the family cabin watching General Conference. It was rainy all weekend so it was nice to just stay in my comfy clothes snuggled up in blankets. 

Can we talk about how amazing this shirt is??? First of all-it's not a maternity shirt (YAY!) so I can wear it post pregnancy. PLUS it's on sale right now! I love that I can wear it during pregnancy because of the side slits. I'm wearing a small, but they do run big because they are considered a boyfriend top. If you like more of a loose top, then keep the same size you typically wear :) Or if you're pregnant than keep the same size too! 

I hope you guys enjoy your week. Thanks for stopping by. xox

Buffalo Check and Free Shipping




Leggings: c/o Agnes and Dora
Booties: Target (old) // Similar
Watch: Fossil
Bracelets: Alex & Ani

Happy Hump Day/Bump Day! I'm 23 weeks along with these twinsies and dressing myself is getting to be a bit trickier as the babies continue to grow! Leggings are always a good go to, and I love tying shirts around my waist to accentuate the bump. As many of you know, Mindy Mae's Market is one of my all time favorite places to shop. I got this black top awhile ago, and it was great for pre-pregnancy and now it's great for the bump too! It's long and stretchy, and it's light weight so I don't get uncomfortable in it. I don't see it on their site right now, but if they get it back in I'll let you guys know. The buffalo check top has also been a good wardrobe staple for me. They just released it again for the season, and they're offering free shipping all week! I would highly recommend you order this now because I know they tend to sell out quickly.  Here is my 23 week bump date for those who are interested (aka-my mom)

23 Weeks with Twins:

How far along? 23 weeks!

How big are the babies? The babies are the size of mangos! They weigh just over a pound and are 11 inches long :) 

Weight gain? About 15 pounds. 

Maternity Clothes? Oh yes. I could kiss whoever invented maternity jeans! Plus I think I'll just keep wearing them after these babies come ;) 

Sleep: None. These babies have dance parties all night long. I guess they're just preparing me for when they come!

Food Cravings: Pasta and grapes. 

My Symptoms: Slowly but surely getting over morning sickness! My feet are starting to swell if I stand too long. I also have to use the bathroom frequently, and I think it drives my husband crazy haha!  

Movement: Oh yes. These babies LOVE to move. Baby girl loves to kick when her daddy puts his hands on my belly. It's so sweet. Baby boy is just constantly moving around. He drives his sister crazy because she'll do a big punch his way after awhile.

Names: We have names, but are waiting for sure until we see them :)

Best Moment of the Week: Watching my stomach move. I tried to get a video of it, but then they would stop. It's pretty cool! 

Looking Forward To: I'm looking forward to seeing my babies this Friday at our doctor's appointment!

Dressing The Bump: 2nd Trimester





Shoes: Nordstrom
Watch: c/o Arvo

Good morning! I know what you're thinking-an outfit post?!?!?! Yes! I FINALLY am feeling on the up and up and decided it was time I ventured out of my comfy clothes and take some outfit pictures. I didn't even throw up until AFTER I had gotten home. I'm making progress people :) 

I'm now at the 18 week mark of growing these babies, and my body is definitely making some changes. Dressing this bump has been a bit more of a challenge than I had originally thought. Thankfully Pink Blush Maternity has such a wide selection of cute maternity clothes to choose from! I absolutely love this maternity top because it can be worn during the early stages of pregnancy to hide the bump, and throughout the second trimester. Depending on how big this belly gets, I'm hoping I can wear it through my third trimester as well with an oversized cardigan. 

Now let's talk about maternity jeans. I never thought I would like them, but SURPRISE! They're the best thing that ever happened. It's like the fat pants I've always dreamed about. You know-the ones you wear on Thanksgiving because your button is just going to pop after finishing your piece of pie. Pink Blush Maternity has the best selection of maternity jeans. They fit true to size and they're nice and stretchy. They're perfect for wearing to the office, or out on date night with the husband. 

If you're pregnant-make sure you check out Pink Blush Maternity. They really do have the best selection of maternity dresses, pants, and tops.

Boy/Girl Twins: 16 week Bumpdate


Holy smokes-I cannot believe I'm already at 16 weeks! These babies are growing super fast, and the bump has officially come out. We found out the genders last week, and had a little party with our family to announce. It was so much fun to FINALLY know what we are having. I got all teary eyed after our appointment because having a boy and a girl really is the perfect fit for our family. Here is a little bumpdate:

How far along? 16 weeks!

How big are the babies? The babies are the size of avocados! 4 1/2 inches long and about 3 1/2 ounces. 

Weight gain? Almost 2 pounds. It's all belly right now, which I'm thankful for. 

Maternity Clothes? I'm now able to wear most maternity shirts. I'm sure I'll be able to wear maternity jeans next week :)

Sleep: I'm able to take naps, but sleeping at night is pretty difficult. I'm a belly sleeper, so I'm trying to get use to sleeping on my side.

Food Cravings: Cupcakes, animal crackers, and pasta. 

My Symptoms: Still having morning sickness and exhaustion. I have to pee all the time too. 

Movement: I'm not sure. I think I've felt a little bit of movement, but it's really hard to tell. 

Names: No names yet. We keep talking about them though, so I'm hoping to nail them down soon.

Best Moment of the Week: Finding out what these babies are! It seriously was the best news ever.

Looking Forward To: I'm looking forward to starting on our nurseries. I'll share some inspiration hopefully this week!
