Perks.

In this last month of pregnancy I've taken up complaining as my newest hobby. Add moving in the mix and well...it's a plain ole' party around here.


Michelle Rasmussen of Wondertime Photography, grabbed her camera and snapped this photo the other day when I stopped in to say, "hello". In light of being terribly uncomfortable, I will admit there are beautiful perks of pregnancy...

Thick hair.

Long, strong nails.

Valumptuous, botox-like lips.

Eating without guilt.

Glowing, pimple-free skin.

Yes, I complain...but I also have a lot to be grateful for.


Thank you Michelle. I will miss you dearly.

for sure, the eating without guilt is the best thing FOR ME during pregnancies. i LOVE that quote from your dad. i seriously think i need to frame that and hang it on my wall somewhere.
and i hope your move to slc goes well. i moved here from tennessee 2 1/2 years ago, and i am finally starting to feel...almost...at home here. there are a lot of great things here, and a lot of really great people.

Hmm eating without guilt AND glowing skin? Usually if I stick a slice of pizza and then fried chicken in my mouth I am covered in pimples the next day lol. Sounds fun! plus u get to meet a new little person at the end of it all...

Moving is never fun, but SLC is great! I love it here (except for days when it snows in April...like on my birthday)--but other than that, I love it :) Think of all the super fun new thrifting places you'll get to explore!
