My Thoughts as I Prepare to Become a Mom of 2

May 27, 2020 by Katie Haller

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to get married and become a mom. I never questioned that. I always wanted to have two kids, a boy, and a girl. I guess you can say that I’m getting everything I always wanted. As my due date approaches and I get closer and closer to becoming a mom of 2 I’m having all kinds of emotions about it. I’m so excited because I can’t believe I’m going to have a baby in my arms soon, but I’m also nervous and scared about adding on another child to our family.Read more

35 Week Baby Bump Update

May 18, 2020 by Katie Haller

Unless I get an unexpected boost of energy between now and the time the baby is born, this is probably going to be my last baby bump update post. It’s hard to believe, but super exciting at the same time. Even though it seems like I still have some time before this baby arrives, I know that 4 weeks are going to fly by. I still have so many things to do and absolutely no motivation to get it all done. Even though this pregnancy has been much different than I ever could have expected, I’m still trying to make the most of it and soak it all in. It’s getting much harder though as the weeks go by. I am just so excited to meet my little girl and I can’t wait to hold her in my arms.Read more

KeaBabies Original Diaper Backpack Review

May 8, 2020 by Katie Haller

I guess you can say I’ve become quite the connoisseur of diaper bags over the last 4 years and the funny thing is I rarely used them when Jack was a baby. I’ve tried out all sorts of bags, but I always ended up just throwing everything into one of my big purses. The problem with that is it made it really hard for me to find everything I needed. It also created a big mess in my purse with burp cloths, bottles, and all the other random things that ended up in there. Read more

How to Style a Simple Black Fitted Maternity Dress

May 6, 2020 by Katie Haller

Here I am in the last trimester of my second pregnancy. I’d like to say that I learned a little more about the basics of maternity style this time around. I learned what I like and what I don’t like when it comes to maternity clothes. I will say that my last pregnancy was a little more fun to dress for. I had fun finding new ways to dress my bump and be creative with my non-maternity clothes. This pregnancy, I’ve tried to stick more to comfort over creativity.

Fitted Maternity Dress- An Easy Outfit for Your Third Trimester

April 20, 2020 by Katie Haller

Being quarantined at home was not the way I had expected to spend my third trimester. I have been looking forward to spring my entire pregnancy because I knew once it warmed up I’d be able to wear dresses. Dresses are really one of the most comfortable things to wear when you are pregnant. After wearing leggings almost non-stop my entire pregnancy, I’m sick of them. I’m ready to pull out all my favorite dresses, that I can still fit into of course. Being stuck at home isn’t going to stop me from dressing cute this spring.

One style of dress that I am a huge fan of while pregnant is a fitted dress. I love being able to show off my baby bump. I don’t know about you, but I feel that pregnancy is really the only time in your life that you can really accentuate your mid-section and be proud of your belly. No need to try to suck in. You might as well take advantage of it while you can.

Once you hit your 3rd trimester, it’s nice to have one or two fitted maternity dresses. I have been able to get away with wearing most of my non-maternity dresses that are bump-friendly, but when it comes to my fitted dresses, it’s nice to have extra stretchy material in a maternity dress.

Today’s look is all about showing off my growing bump. This cute fitted maternity dress (HERE) was gifted to me from Sexy Mama Maternity. I love how it shows off all my baby curves. The little tie on the side really helps to show off my growing baby bump. It’s also super comfortable, so it works just fine for hanging out around the house.

The Ultimate Spring Maternity Wardrobe

April 8, 2020 by Katie Haller

Having a baby due on the summer solstice means that each one of my trimesters has been through an entire season. My first trimester was during the fall, the second was winter and now for my final season, I will be going through the spring. I’m actually really excited that my third trimester is during the spring. It’s not too hot, I can wear almost anything and I can’t wait to wear dresses and sandals!!
