Love for Polish 7

Happy Saturday everyone!! 

Even though Valentines day is over with I wanted to share my nails that I did the other day! Since we have been living in limbo for the last month and now in the process of unpacking, my nails and toenails have been neglected! It hurts my HEART to not have polish on my hands and feet! BUT...I snuck in a quick manicure the other night!!! Of course, it's Pinterest inspired (what isn't nowadays?! Haha!). 

There they are!! They turned out better than I expected. For this look, I used OPI-Miami Beet and the white I used China Glaze-White on White.

How do you think it turned out?? And what's your favorite style/look for nails??

Love and Hugs,
Jen

12 weeks!!!

Hello all!

Today I reached 12 weeks! I'm super excited to have reached this point because most of my nausea is almost gone! Yay for me!! *THUMBS UP!! :)

I don't have a pregnancy picture for today because this weekend I plan on buying a picture frame and turning it into a chalkboard pregnancy tracker!! I have got to find my craftiness side in me because I certainly haven't found a crafty bone in my body yet! ;) Once I get that all done, I will put up a picture. There isn't much there to see yet, but I want to look back on this pregnancy and be happy with how I documented this journey! Because let's face it...ever since Pinterest came around...I've been wanting another baby just so I could use all those wonderful ideas that are on there!! Hahaha! And now I get to! Yeah buddy! :)

Here is a questionnaire that I've found that I can answer each week and see how this pregnancy changes by week! Thought that would be fun to look back on! Enjoy!

How far along? 12 weeks today!
Total weight gain: 3lbs! Yikes! Might all be in my jugs! LOL!
Maternity clothes? Not yet! But am slowly growing out of my skinny jeans and my favorite Big Star jeans! Boo! I swear the day I found out I was pregnant, my hips stretched immediately! Haha!
Stretch marks? No! Thank goodness! I need that Palmer's Cocoa Butter! Used that with my other 2 pregnancies and haven't received any yet.
Sleep? Not as much as I'd like! I wake up to pee a couple times a night!
Best moment this week: Feeling where the baby is growing right above my pubic bone! I never noticed it before. Having experienced pregnancy twice before I believe I know more about my body changes than I ever have before!
Miss anything? Yes...my favorite jeans! ;)
Movement? Not yet! Can't wait! My favorite part of being pregnant!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular. I craved PB&J sandwiches with my first and any kind of candy or sweets with my 2nd. I'm not having any real cravings.
Symptoms: Nothing out of the ordinary. I started out with a lot of headaches, nausea, and fatigue. I still am super sleepy, but the headaches and nausea have subsided.
Labor signs? Nope
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Moody!! Feel bad for the husband!
Looking forward to? I can't wait to make my Chalkboard Preg Tracker! :)
Boy or Girl? Don't know yet! Can't wait for that either!

Welp, that about wraps up my little questionnaire! I hope you enjoy reading and keeping up with my pregnancy journey! And thanks again for those of you who have stuck around during my absence!

Love and Hugs!

I'm Baaaack...and with a SURPRISE!!

Hellooo? Hellooo?? Is anyone around anymore? LOL!

Well, I didn't mean to get away from blogging for as long as I did! Since September 2013, it's been a roller coaster of events for me and my family. Having to deal with a family death, going through a very hard time in my marriage and just being so busy with my 2 kids, I felt the right for me to do was to take a short hiatus from blogging. I was thinking maybe a month or 2...but then the holidays came and went, finding out some truly exciting news!!! All the while we were selling our home and buying a new house, which means moving out of the old one and into a friend's house (temporarily) until our new one closes...which we will be moving in to this next weekend! Like I said...it's been a CRAZY 5 months! Soooo...would you all like to know what my SURPRISE is??

Scroll down...















Down some more...













A little more...













 
 
WE ARE EXPECTING OUR 3RD BABY!!! We are so excited! The baby is due: September 4, 2014!! We are extremely blessed and can't wait to find out if it's a Boy or Girl! Since we've had such a huge change in our life and it's taking us on a different path...I decided to adjust my blog as well. I figure I can still do posts on my love for hair, makeup and nails, but I want to blog my journey during this pregnancy (since this is my last one). I love being pregnant and thought that I could share any experiences and advice that I may have to anyone who needs it or wants it!
 
I hope that you all stick around through this wonderful and exciting time! And share my blog to any of your expecting mommy friends!
 
Thanks again, to all you beautiful people, for hanging around!!
 
Lots of love,
JEN
