It's a.......

You all weighed in last week and here are the stats:

50.98% of you thought it was a boy

49.02% of you thought it was a girl

SO close!

We have officially hit a milestone: 20 Weeks! 

Baby girl is halfway through her baking and we are so excited to meet her. 

I haven't done one of these yet, but I think that it will be fun to look back at

How far along? 20 weeks

Total weight gain: 11 lbs - this lil one is growing (and so is everything else!)

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity jeans and a few "maternity" dresses from ASOS 

Stretch marks? Nope - I have been lathering on Mama Bee oil!

Sleep: Great! Although, these dreams are pretty crazy!

Miss anything? COFFEE. I loved having my medium sized coffee and there are so many mixed reviews about it that I usually only stick to a small coffee every few days.

Movement: All the time. I first felt her at 16 weeks- little flutters and now I can feel her moving around all the time!

Food cravings: Strawberries. Smarties. French Fries (my downfall)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!   (thank you!)

Gender: Lil bebe girl

Symptoms: A growing belly. Increasing pressure when running - which makes it difficult to run because I have to pee every five seconds.

Belly button in or out? In, but I'd hate to say it, it looks like its on its way out already!

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy (:

Looking forward to: Our fetal survey ultrasound! 

A New Favorite (& a Giveaway with Muse Apparel!)

Brahmin Handbag thanks to Vogue & Brahmin || Karen Walker Sunnies

 Holy dress of my dreams.

I had no idea how amazing this little number would fit. My little bump fits comfortably inside (and will for many weeks to come) and yet it still flatter those without a bump as well. I wish I could have it in every single color (well I wish they made it in several other colors- I am working on that!)

 I never knew how hard it would be to dress yourself while pregnant. I always see these adorable gals with their bumps styled all cute - but let me tell you how difficult it really is. 

Most days I go into my closet and only about 50% of it fits now. I have gained a pretty good amount of weight already and no longer fit into any pants....at all. I rely on dresses or skirts with loose bands on them. Lord, help me as I get bigger - I will be wearing mu-mu's for the rest of this pregnancy and you will all just have to deal ;)

 If any of you readers are mommies and have some expert tips or suggestions on some cute maternity pants/cut off shorts - please help a girl out and send me your suggestions!!

Now for the best part of the post....

Muse Apparel (the designers behind this fabulous dress) are giving two readers a $75 gift card to their shop! Woo-hoo!

There is just one requirement.....

Sunday Reads: 5 of my Favorite Blogs

One of my favorite blog ladies, Jenni from Story of my Life created a challenge for her readers - to blog every day in May. Although, this is my first day joining in, I plan to catch up on her other challenges from earlier on. I love that her posts give us a little bit more about who the blogger is behind the actual blog.

Today, I am sharing 5 of my favorite blogs. There are many more than just 5, but I decided to go with the ones that constantly inspire me on a daily basis. 

1.)       Casey Leigh

love.love.love. Casey and her lil family. She is so inspiring with her words and really takes the time to dedicate to her writing within her posts. I respect so much the religious aspect of her blog. 

2.)        with HEART.

Jen's blog is relatively new on the blog scene, but I just love her posts. She frequently features other bloggers and is constantly changing up the topics of her posts. Plus, her little Ruby is just adorable!

3.)      Neon Blush

I have always had a style crush on Jenny. I have been following along with her since she started her blog and her outfits are to die for. She mixes designer with lo end and vintage. Her photography is also BEYOND. <3

4.)       Marshall's Abroad

Amanda is currently living in Japan with her hubby and is currently expecting! :)  Her photography is amazing and her pictures just seem to tell a story every time. I love hearing about her adventures in Okinawa.

5.)      Seersucker and Saddles

First of all, how cute is this blog name? Yea, cute enough that I want to read it every.single.day. I just love her style - she belongs in a J. Crew catalog - I swear! 

Style Refresh

I have been switching over my wardrobe and accessories from Winter to Spring & Summer (which always puts a huge smile on my face from year to year) and my favorite go-to's this year are a bright maxi, floppy hat to shield the sun and a great pair of white heels. If I just had a wardrobe full of maxi dresses, hats and shoes - I would be set for life :)

On top of the spring/summer fashion, where is a girl without her Starbucks? I have been loving these cute little iced coffee glasses that you can grab from the fridge on your way out the door!

My other must haves for summer?

- These adorable hair ties from Sephora. Some of them even add just a bit of sparkle :)

- Nivea Lip Protection. Cannot get enough of this stuff. Shield the sun's rays and protect yo' lips ladies!

- Sonia Kashuk bronzer. A fake bronzer is so much better than baking your face in the sun- your skin will thank you in the years to come- I promise!

- Loreal nail varnish "Not a cloud in the sky" - the perfect color to introduce spring and summer!

The new line-up of bottled Starbucks® Iced Coffee beverages gives you great-tasting, energizing refreshment with premium Starbucks® coffee from 100 percent arabica beans. Starbucks® Iced Coffee ready-to-drink beverages are perfect on-the-go refreshment to help you through the daily commute, the midday slump, or an exciting road trip adventure with friends. Best enjoyed chilled from the bottle, look for it at major grocery and convenience stores, available nationwide.
