On Being Pregnant::A Guest Post
Hi there Pearls to Pampers readers! I’m Sarah of Saturday’s Story and a reconnected high school acquaintance turned real life blogger friend of Kendall’s. My husband Lee and I are expecting our first baby in early December of this year…NYC urban parenthood, here we come! Here’s a little glimpse into my psyche these days in preparation for our transformation from a family duo to trio:
I’ve...

Our Week in Pictures::GRW
In lieu of a traditional GRW post (because let’s face it…we are waiting on a baby—what else is there to say?!) here are some pictures of what’s been going on around here (mainly of our main girl). Most of these photos are from Instagram—my new obsession! If don’t already follow me (kendallleigh6) I would love to see some new faces!
Charlotte has been on a...

While We're Waiting for Baby...
Let’s play a game!
Yes, I’m still here. Second guessing every little movement and “weird” thing that happens.
So, instead of writing about all of that nonsense, I thought it might be fun to do a little “10 things you didn’t know about me”—just like all those ice-breakers in college.
Here goes:
1. This is a big one: I can’t stand being...

Charlotte Grace--22 Months
Well, the month post is here. The one that 10 months ago I thought about—because—Charlotte Grace and baby #2 are going to be 22 months apart. That means baby #2 is almost here!
I have mixed feelings about writing this. This is most definitely going to be the last month post I write for Charlotte as an only child. 22 months together—just us three. It’s overwhelming to...

Pregnancy Highlights
**Picture on the Left: 39 weeks pregnant with Charlotte.
**Picture on the Right: 39 weeks with Baby #2. Wow. My belly is bigger this time around, but my face is less swollen. I’ll take it!
Size of baby: The baby is now the size of….a baby. Seriously, this baby is big enough to hold!
Dilation: STILL at 1cm. Baby is head down. I’m 75% effaced. But...

Dear Baby
**A letter to my unborn child—due in 1 week**
Dearest Baby,
Where should I begin? Being as we haven’t met yet, I think of all the things I want to say—and everything I want to teach you in the years to come. I couldn’t begin to write down all the lessons I want you to learn, and all the blessings I pray you have in life.
These 9 (10?) months have flown by, and in a...

Get Real Wednesday
It’s mid-week! And if you’re 9.5 months pregnant like me (haha…) then you are probably living each day like it’s your “last”. Each day I wonder if this is IT—here is what’s on my racing mind these days:
Tomorrow I will be at 39 weeks. 39 weeks means that I made it further than I did with Charlotte who was born exactly at 39 weeks. The first time...

Gramps' 80th Birthday Celebration(s)
I mentioned yesterday that we spent the weekend celebrating my Gramps’ birthday. We had TWO days of celebrations:
Saturday night we enjoyed a family dinner at The Duquesne Club. We took a family photo, shared memories during cocktail hour(s), and ended with a delicious meal where we presented Gramps with a few gifts and lots of laughs. Charlotte stayed up until 10:45pm that night! And...

Get Real...
Well….it’s 3am as I write this post. I decided since pregnancy insomnia has gotten the best of me, what better time than to write a GRW post?!
• Today I am 38 weeks pregnant. If I’m being perfectly honest? I’m really over pregnancy. I’m uncomfortable, can’t sleep, but exhausted at the same time. Everything is an effort! I am really ready to meet our...

Charlotte-isms
Now that Charlotte is no longer a baby (tear…) and has her own personality, Andrew and I will sometimes stay up late at night talking about all the funny things she did all day long.
She is our form of entertainment. Who needs cable?!
Some of our favorite “Charlotte-isms”:
Charlotte loves Barney. It’s a borderline obsession. But her new favorite thing to do when...

Lately...
A week like this just seems like one constant weekend, doesn’t it?! Today is the first day I have really had the time (and energy) to get chores done, sit down and blog and get organized.
This past weekend, we had a little scare. I had had a bad headache for about 3 days, but I brushed it off to being from the heat and tried to rest and take Tylenol. Nothing was helping it—and...

Charlotte Grace--21 Months
Well…it is now July, and I have missed my CG’s 21 month post! Before I get too far behind, I figured it is necessary to remember all the FUN things going on with my sweetheart this month.
Charlotte LOVES flowers. She used to love going to Mimi and Pop-pop’s house to see Reilly, and eat all the fun snacks they have for her there (spoiled!) but now when she gets out of the...
