Thanks for Amy for snapping these shots for me!
I’ve been having a few tough days recently. Pregnancy hormones are all the rage and, to be honest, I kind of feel like a crazy person. I’m totally fine one minute and then the next minute I’m literally crying because they got my milkshake order wrong at Cook Out. Totally not like me AT ALL… I’m not a very emotional person by nature, so I feel like I’m floating (or drowning?) in un-charted waters.
But, what I think some of these tough days are teaching me is a lot of patience, a lot of acceptance, and a lot of slowing down. Life is crazy and learning how to navigate this season is just a part of “growing up” – or something. Am I right? Anyone else know what I mean?
In any event, I’m not trying to sound all “woe is me” or “wah wah wah,” I think I am just in a processing phase as I prepare to go from a mommy to one to a mommy to two and all the changes that come with it.
On a separate and unrelated note, I am loving, loving, loving this tunic from PinkBlush maternity. It’s become a favorite for me throughout this pregnancy. It’s so soft and super comfortable and I love the floral print with the baseball style sleeves. All the things. <3
What about you? How are YOU doing lately? Anyone else just need to process their life / thoughts / emotions?
Awww my friend had really bad mood swings in her last trimester but soon this too shall pass! Love your top!! I’ve been a big fan of that style…floral base and the raglan sleeves! =)
I hope you start feeling better soon! I can’t imagine all of the changes that are happening. You look beautiful in your winter florals!

I’m reading this as I rock Alice and was literally just having a major pity party so perfect timing. 😉 I just feel like all the typical physical/emotional stuff that happens postpartum kind of skipped me and now it’s all catching up. I feel like I’m living in someone else’s body! And, as you know very well, parenting is hard, even if it’s “just” taking care of a 3-month-old. Of course I couldn’t be more thankful for my sweet baby and most of the time everything is wonderful but there are difficult moments regardless and they tend to outshine the good sometimes. Anyway. Sorry to spill my guts but thanks for a little encouragement right when I needed it! <3
