  • The final days of pregnancy are here and it’s such a strange feeling knowing this long, winding journey is almost over. I’m trying to relax and take it all in while also stay busy to avoid getting antsy. Everyone keeps telling me baby boy will arrive when he’s ready and while that’s a nice way to think about it, I can’t help but think mom has a lot more to do with it. This process has shown me that our bodies are amazingly smart and intuitive things and they know when the time is right. In the meantime, we’re playing a very fun game on my IG Stories called “will it send me into labor.” Come on over and cast your votes, friends. We’re playing till baby arrives! . . . #ltkbump #39weekspregnant #39weeks #inspiredpregnancy #pregnantaf #thirdtrimester #bumpdate #pregnantbelly
  • So many of you requested I share what’s in my hospital bag which I found a little funny at first considering #firsttimemom here and I have no idea what I’m doing 🤷🏻‍♀️ But, I also get it because what I learned most in packing my bag is it’s a very personal decision. You’ll get SO MUCH advice on things you should or shouldn’t pack it’s hard to make heads of tails. I read a lot of “what’s in my hospital bag” posts to take ideas and asked friends and family to decide what’s right for me. Remember it’s your bag, what’s necessity for one person might not be for you! So, in the spirit of sharing, and considering so many of you asked, I shared what’s in my bag today in the blog. And, I also included the things people suggested I bring that I decided to skip!
  • Celebrating the Grand Opening of Connecticut’s first Next Generation Dunkin’ locations with a frozen hot chocolate and 6 donuts (all for me, none for Michael). The new CT locations are 1101 North Colony Road, Wallingford, CT AND 1261 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury, CT! If you’re a Connecticut local stop by the #FutureDunkin TODAY Thursday, 10/18, 11 AM – 1 PM for grand opening celebrations🤹🏻‍♀️🎉☕️ The new locations have Premium Pours which is their cold beverages served through a tap system 🤯 This momma can’t wait to get all over that! If you stop by one make sure to share on your stories and tag me to let me know! #ad
  • This sweater is a pregnant woman’s dream: ultra cozy, flowy, off the shoulder AND buttons down the sleeve meaning it’ll be nursing-friendly when the babe arrives! Oh, and long enough in the back to wear with leggings! It was sent to me courtesy of @nommaternity and I think I’m going to live in it all fall. #nommomma
  • The bump and I had a very productive weekend 🙌🏻 isn’t that always the best feeling and best way to start a new week? But now the bump and I have heartburn because #pregnancy 🤷🏻‍♀️ New budget DIY video went up on my channel today and they are perfect for fall!
  • Just when you think your bump can’t get any bigger...it does 😳 Ready for baby boy to be here, but also feeling overall pretty good for #38weekspregnant and ok waiting on him a little longer if that’s what he decides. But... if I could go ahead and stop expanding...that’d be cool. . . There’s a new post on my blog that’s a 38 week bumpdate for #brancifortebaby if you want to read about the last 4 weeks and my thoughts on labor and delivery. . . . #inspiredpregnancy #pregnantandperfect #38weeks
  • What’s a pair of fall shoes you can’t live without? For me, black combat boots are a must. . . But today the only shoes I’m wearing are slippers because we’re spending the whole weekend home doing chores and getting work done before baby arrives. Will he be prompt like his mom or casually late like his dad always is? 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • Is it summer or is it fall because Connecticut is very confused about this subject rn. Is my coffee supposed to be hot or iced? Make up your mind! Either way, I’m bringing back the front-camera selfie. You can go ahead and judge me but I’m feeling really good about it. My entire look is linked here 👉🏻 lol jk I bought this dress off the Marshalls clearance rack 3 years ago and this hat is from a street vendor in Peru . Entire look cost me $11.
