Happy hump day! I am so loving this top from Targets Who What Wear line. It is so soft and delicate and the ruffles give it a romantic feel and the shoes are from Target as well and love the low stacked heel. So comfy and versatile.

It is such a blessing and honor to have had John Lucas' great grandfather Baptize him. We are so thankful for grandpa Johnnie and all that he has done for us. He not only baptized our children but he also married John and I and baptized my husband when he was a baby. The ceremony was beautiful and JL was so peaceful through the entire thing. 

Es especial poder decirle a John Lucas que su bisabuelo lo bautizo. Y que también bautizo a su hermanita y a su papa cuando era niño. La celebración fue muy bonita dedicada a JL. JL se porto muy bien. 

The God parents we chose for JL are our dear friends Mike and Tara along with my little sisters Eden & Celeste. 

Sus padrinos fueron mis dos hermanitas Eden Y Celeste Y también nuestros queridos amigos Mike y Tara. 

I am at the point in my pregnancy where my regular pants don't fit! Not even with the belly extension bands. I am now a slave to dresses, skirts and stretchy pants. I find it hard to splurge on maternity wear since I don't think I will have another baby any time soon. I do my best to look for loose fitting clothes that I know I will be able to rock post maternity. Finding jeans was especially difficult. Most affordable lines I tried on looked matronly and saggy and the jeans that do fit well are well over $100.00. I can't justify spending $100 on a pair of jeans that I will only wear a handful of times.  I was so exited when I found out H&M has a maternity line. Their jeans are affordable and super comfy. You can get a pair for under $40.00! I love it.

Overview:

What to Expect When You're Expecting is just that! The fundamentals of what you should be expecting if you are trying to conceive.

My Opinion:

Many times we, as women, receive a lot of advice and tips on "how your first pregnancy goes...," "being a first time mom," and "tips on even the 'best' ways of trying to conceive." I definitely took all the advice I was given into consideration but reading this book helped me to wrap my head around it all. And although we will never be fully prepared in regards to anything, I still wanted to do my research and I have to say that I really found this book helpful. Helpful in the sense that I was able to put 'our' life into perspective; such as, turning a new leaf and really living a healthy lifestyle-mind, body, and soul-all for the well-being of our future as parents.

Would I Recommend:

I would definitely recommend this book! Especially to the women that may not received advice along the way but want to be informed. And of course to learn about topics such as reevaluating your eating habits, lifestyle changes, and paying attention to your body, it's needs, and changes.

I felt more confident and educated about my body and the signs to read while trying to conceive. My husband and I have definitely took this book's information into account throughout our journey and are letting nature take its course.


What books can you recommend are good reads while trying to conceive? I'd love to know :)

XoXo,
