Counting down the days until the bambino arrives! Mixed feelings on delivering, I want to meet them but I also will miss feeling them kick and squirm around in my belly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not ashamed of my body, nor the weight I put on so I can carry this baby to full-term. I love these photos that @anadouglasphotography took in my home! Thankful that I will have them to look back on in the years to come. #alwcbaby #maternityshoot #maternitysession (at Mount Pleasant) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hLsxvh15f/?igshid=3preqe8m0cx2

This is 38 weeks! WOW did this pregnancy fly by! We still have to narrow down baby names, it's tough when the baby's gender is a surprise! #alwcbaby #bambino #38weekspregnant (at Mt. Pleasant, Greater Vancouver) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Pdgc9hNpW/?igshid=zldydp0lqj1b

Ready for baby! The nursery is all set up, I'm sharing a few snaps of it on the blog! So happy with how it turned out ❤️ #alwcbaby #nurserydecor (at Mount Pleasant) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KRhcnB9I8/?igshid=1d3tdevym5f6b

When people point at my pregnant belly and ask if I know what it’s going to be, I like to say, ‘We’re hoping for a baby.’ 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is now 34 weeks, officially 6 weeks until we meet the bambino! I had another midwife appointment yesterday, heard the heartbeat 💗 and every time I think it's amazing and weird. Put up a new pregnancy update on the blog, the link is in my bio, sharing the latest in this journey. I think it's fun and will be great to look back on it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nesting has started, I washed all the baby clothes, blankets, swaddles and crib sheets this past weekend. Organizing every inch of our apartment and ordering anything that we might need! I, of course, have forgotten baby shoes haha so those were promptly ordered online! Any favourite Canadian baby brands I should consider for clothes or toys? #alwcbaby #34weekspregnant #thirdtrimester (at Mt.

I’d be lying if I said this was only what I needed this whole pregnancy. Not shown is the comfy AF pregnancy pillow that is awkward to take a photo of but boy does it help me sleep! Plus the ginger chews, bath salts, my stash of chocolate and tums. But all that aside, I did make a post that includes some of the major bits that helped me these past 9 months! It’s on the blog, you can find the link in my bio. Mamas, What were your essentials during your pregnancy?

Taking the bambino out for a stroll, a very sloooowww one since I’m feeling tired and more out of breath lately. I can’t imagine there’s much more room in this belly for anything, besides a growing baby. 🤰🏻Thank goodness for stretchy pants!! This is #33weekspregnant.

32 Weeks officially today! WOAH. I'll be sharing a more in-depth update on the blog this week, but the last two weeks have been kicking my butt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Still feeling overall great, thankfully! but starting to get the occasional Braxton-hicks, feeling slow and large, went to a prenatal yoga class finally and feel the most out of shape I've ever been and my face is still breaking out like crazy. Definitely haven't got or probably won't get that pregnancy glow before the baby arrives :( ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT, I'm thankful that I've had a relatively easy pregnancy and that my body is able to do this amazing thing. Growing a human inside of me like something out of Alien 😂 It's pretty incredible if you ask me. Just praying that it isn't an actual alien in the end LOL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And P.S., if you haven't seen it, I've shared our Palm Springs babymoon guide on the blog!
