my avacado bebe

hi! is anyone still there? (tapping mic.. "this thing on?")

my blogging hiatus has really stretched into overtime. but trust me guys, it was much much needed. that was one hell of a first trimester, that didn't get much easier the first few weeks into the second trimester. but thank GOD things seem to be getting better finally and i have a little of my old zest for life returning (along with some energy! and an appetite! woohoo!)

this is me at 16 weeks - my avocado sized baby is really starting to show on the outside. i've managed to not have to wear any maternity clothes yet, and am going to try to keep that up for as long as possible. the shirt i'm wearing is one of target's cute floral thermals they have for sale right now and the scarf i made last winter.

M.I.A.

hi guys!

i've been m.i.a. lately, and things have been dead on this old blog.

but it's been for a good reason!

i'm about 9 weeks pregnant with baby number two. we had our first

ultrasound yesterday and are so relieved that baby looks healthy and strong!

this mama has been pretty sick, though, and getting dressed up and taking photos of outfits

have not been top priorities.

(pajamas have sadly become my outfit of choice. hoping this stage passes quickly!)

pregnancy is exciting, but the toll it takes on your body is pretty overwhelming.

i'm not sure if i'll continue "modest muse" through the pregnancy. i don't feel great about how i look.

but i'm open to your thoughts and honest opinions!

what do you think? any of you guys interested in seeing me dress a swollen belly

over the next 7 months?
