Text of the page (random words):
s a recent bump shot from about week ago 24 weeks 1 how did you tell justin he was asleep when i took the pregnancy test i woke him up and told him that i needed his help in reading the test which i did because the line was super faint and i wanted to make sure i wasn t imagining it since i had to wake him up he didn t really process what was going on and fell back asleep 2 seconds later so after about 5 minutes more of squinting and walking around to different lights by myself to see if the second line was really there i decided to wake him up again this time with a different more direct approach i woke him up and said i think i m pregnant but i need you to confirm he got out of bed and looked at the test he said i do see a second line but it s very faint so i m not sure i told him that was all that was needed any line dark or faint meant i was pregnant i was in shock i m not sure he 100 believed me about the line so while he was letting out the dogs i remembered i had a digital test i took it and almost immediately it popped up positive i took it out to him and said well i guess this resolves any question we had i could see it click right away with him and he hugged me and we were both so thrilled then in typical justin fashion he said why didn t you just start with the digital test ps i could never be one of those women who figures out some super cute way to tell their husband there is no way in heck i could keep that kind of news to myself for any period of time also i really should do a separate post on what an amazing husband he has been well for the nearly 10 years we ve been married but also throughout my pregnancy he has taken such good care of me always complimenting me on how i look always talking to the baby and giving my belly kisses even before we got married i knew he would be the best father and i have no doubt he will be my heart melts just thinking about him holding our little girl 2 how did you tell your parents we had them over for dinner and put the dogs in cute t shirts from etsy our dogs are like our children and we thought it would be cute to have them in on the fun my mom knew right away what was going on it took justin s parents a minute or two longer to process it all once everyone knew there was lots of crying happy tears and squeals of excitement our baby will be the first grandchild on both sides so she s kind of a big deal with our parents 3 are you going back to work thankfully i get a very generous 18 weeks of paid leave assuming there are no surprises my intent is to return to work once my leave is over by way of background i m a seventh year attorney at a large law firm while my job can be demanding high stress and unpredictable at times i absolutely love it and i also really enjoy the people i work with it s always hard to know since i ve never been in this position before but i really think i would miss the work the clients being challenged i know there will be challenges at home but work challenges are totally different the adult interaction and the suits ok not really the suits i also knock on wood think i will have some flexibility with my schedule and the ability to work from home which will make the transition back to work easier justin also gets every other friday off and i think that time will be so special for the 2 of them to bond and to come take me to lunch 4 were you trying or was it an accident for starters that s an extremely personal question and one i would never ask anyone i m not sure if people had given up hope on us see number 5 or thought we would never have kids because of my job see number 3 but people seem to be very surprised at our news and this seems to be a very popular question to answer it without directly answering it let me just say this we have been happily married for nearly 10 years and i am a huge planner so i will let you draw your own conclusion 5 you ve been married for nearly 10 years why did you wait so long frankly it s a complicated answer i think mainly because we were being selfish we knew we could do what we wanted travel whenever and wherever have our own schedules work and not feel guilty etc we were and are fully aware that all changes once there is a kid in the picture we are still young ish i m 31 and justin s 32 so we didn t really feel the need to be in any rush we love spending time together just the two of us and weren t quite ready to give that up we ve been together for nearly 15 years so i think that says a lot about our relationship and how much fun we have with each other and how much we enjoy each other s company we knew we always wanted a family and at some point we realized we were ready to share our love with a child i also wanted to get established in my career i ve worked at the same law firm since i graduated i wanted to come in and prove myself as someone who s smart and hardworking and earn the trust of the people i work with before having a baby i think and hope after 7 years people know that about me my boss was amazing to me during my first trimester when i was so exhausted and sick and i m not sure it would have been as easy to ask about working from home a lighter schedule until i felt better if i was more junior i m sure i will be saying the same thing when i need some flexibility and understanding once i return from maternity leave this may come across as crass but i spent too much money and hard work in law school to practice for a year or two and then have a baby now that s not to say you can t be a successful attorney and mom but it s hard and i wasn t willing to do either half assed and wasn t confident enough in myself to know i could excel at both and to be clear justin was totally on board with that plan and never once pressured me to deviate from it that was our plan all along i have an amazing husband who is super supportive of me and my career and i am so thankful everyday for him so to round this out we realized there was never going to be a perfect time for us to have a baby there would always be some excuse but at some point we just knew we both were ready and thankfully we were ready at the same time so here we are i certainly don t want this blog to become all about my pregnancy and it won t but i do have some more thoughts on the above question and on feeling pressure to have a baby which i may share in a different post if i can find a way to coherently put my thoughts together 6 and on a less personal note what food have you been craving fruit especially mangoes greek yogurt lucky charms smoothies peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cheese sticks and amy s ice cream 7 how are you decorating the nursery we haven t quite decided we have the dresser glider and crib but it s all of the details that we are still sorting out i m excited to share with you in a separate post what we are thinking alright is there anything else you re just busting at the seams to know posted by emily at 7 03 am 14 comments labels baby thursday january 2 2014 big news for the new year happy 2014 we have some big news to share justin and i are having a baby our baby girl is due in april we are super excited and a little scared too i m thrilled to be well into my second trimester now i was not sad to leave the utter exhaustion and morning all day sickness of my first trimester behind we ve been busy researching all of the baby things we need or what we think we need we ve also had fun discussing the plans for the nursery i ll be sharing some of our thoughts on the nursery and the current state of things we are really looking forward to our growing family this new year posted by emily at 7 33 am 10 comments labels baby tuesday december 31 2013 happy new year so 2013 hasn t been the best year for me and blogging but it has been a great year otherwise we are settled in our new home and are so pleased with how things have turned out check out the powder room and formal living room this past year we battled riley s health issues for the first several months but are thrilled he is back to his old sweet snuggling silly self and last but not least justin recently started a new job he wasn t looking to leave his old job but a recruiter contacted him about an offer he couldn t refuse although his new longer commute is no fun he loves the new place i m so proud of him for being such a baller i hope you have had a wonderful 2013 i m looking forward to an even better 2014 photo lilyandval on etsy happy new year posted by emily at 12 18 pm 6 comments labels holidays friday december 13 2013 winter beauty faves living in texas hardly qualifies me to speak on harsh winters but it s been cold down here at least for this texas girl my skin is used to the 100 humidity we normally have so when it s cold and dry this time of year i need some extra hydration i find myself reaching for these 6 products on the reg during the winter 1 avene moisture mask i don t know why but sometimes i just like the idea of using a mask i can get some redness on my face and the winter certainly makes it worse and this moisture mask always soothes and calms down my skin it has a light smell to it which is delightful and i m sensitive to smells it s not greasy at all and most of the time i don t even wipe it off i highly recommend this 2 nuxe huile prodigieuse dry oil i picked a bottle of this up our last trip to paris and am so glad i did it s a light oil you mist on i love using it right after i shave my legs it absorbs so quickly and has a nice scent it also leaves a nice sheen but doesn t feel greasy at all i actually use this during the summer too since it s so light while still moisturizing you can also use it in your hair or as a bath oil 3 la mer moisturizing cream i use this every morning under my eyes year round but find myself applying it all over my face during the winter it really is one of the few things that makes my dry flaky skin disappear it s expensive but a small jar lasts forever 4 jack black lip balm i m a lip balm addict i have tubes of this in all my bags all around the house and in my desk at work this isn t going to give you any shine but it s the most hydrating lip balm i ve ever tried i put it on every night before bed and when i wake up i can feel that it s still on and working i ve made the mistake of applying other lip balms at night and always wake up with dry lips bonus it comes in tons of awesome flavors i haven t tried one i didn t love 5 trader joe s lotion the first time i tried this i used some of my friend s when we were out in california hi lauren this body lotion is rich but not overly heavy i like how it doesn t have a scent to it and it contains aloe which helps soothe any irritated dry patches the best part about it is the price it s dirt cheap i would have to stock up when we were out in cali since we didn t have a tj s but now that we have one i can buy it whenever i need it 6 sugar lip tint i told you i m a lip balm junkie this lip balm is the perfect combination of moisturizing while also providing some color it s not at all sticky and just makes your lips feel soft this is my go to at work it sits on my desk and i apply it throughout the day it s great because i don t need a mirror when i put it on but it provides a little color i like the plum tint but there s a bunch of others and a clear that are also awesome anything i should add to my must try list and in case you need an idea either of the lip balms would make the perfect stocking stuffer posted by emily at 7 07 am 3 comments labels fashion beauty wednesday november 13 2013 guest bathrooms initial thoughts we ve decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and redo our upstairs bathrooms one of them is off the guest room and the other is a jack and jill bath between two other bedrooms neither one of them is totally offensive but they certainly lack any style it also really bothers justin that they used wall tile on the floor i likely would have never noticed but i could see how someone could go slipping and sliding on them if they weren t careful since they are secondary bathrooms i really want to keep the look neutral and timeless and budget friendly based on the images i ve been pinning it s obvious i have a strong preference i am heavily leaning towards mostly white bathrooms bathed no pun intended in white subway tile i can t decide whether or not i like the look of the tile on the ceiling i ve been waffling i do for sure like the look of the dark grout on the floor bringing in a few hints of black could help break up the white i like the simple thin black trim in the shower here i m not a huge fan of the dark fixtures seems a touch heavy for me but some polished nickel would do the trick this bathroom still has the subway tile but i am digging the dark floor and dark gray vanity maybe we do something like this in the guest bathroom and something more along the lines of the others in the jack and jill this shower a great way to keep an all white tile space interesting use different sizes of tile with some well placed trim pieces i am really loving this look and the fixture is fabulous too speaking of fabulous fixtures this bathroom is amazing white black and brass yes please of course our guest showers aren t that luxurious but maybe we could do something similar i absolutely love this look we were supposed to go check out various tile options this past weekend but poor justin ended up with a stomach virus friday night complete with a trip to the er for iv fluids we first thought it was food poisoning but it was definitely a stomach virus because i caught it sunday night i also ended up with my own trip to the er thankfully justin and i are both on the mend but back to the guest bathrooms part of me thinks i should branch out from the white subway tiles since it s in our master shower and our kitchen backsplash but it works so darn well i hate to mix up what i already know i
