Eight Months In

Hi friends!

Just wanted to check in with you on a few things as I wrap pregnancy up. I am now thirty-three entire weeks pregnant and Jonas will be here sooner than I know! I am truly trying to soak up these last moments with my sweet baby boy inside of me as I know that life is going to change completely once he gets here.

Pregnancy has been such a beautiful experience – I have never felt more in tuned with my body, more at peace and truly have been the happiest that I’ve ever been being pregnant. Experiencing the growth of a little human has been one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my entire life and I cannot wait for my son to get here. I am beyond grateful to God that He has blessed me to be a mother and also that He has blessed me to have such a healthy pregnancy. Of course I have had growing pains – I don’t think there is a woman out there who has been pregnant and didn’t feel the changes that her body goes through – however, I am blessed that I’ve only had to experience nausea as the most difficult symptom of my pregnancy – for that, I am eternally grateful.

Between the last time that I spoke with you all and now, we have had our baby shower, maternity shoot and are pretty much going through the nesting stage of pregnancy with getting Jonas’s nursery together. Justin won’t let me lift a finger with building any of the furniture (which I’m fine with because I may or may not be super lazy anyway) though I have been assisting with telling him where I want everything to go so that we can have the coziest space for our little one to feel welcome.

Our maternity shoot was done by John and Kym McLane of jmclaneproductions (you can find them on Facebook and Instagram). Justin and I have literally used them for all of our most special moments to date – engagement shoot, wedding and now our maternity shoot – THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER! Here are my favorite photos from the shoot – hope you enjoy.
