Selfie, No Weigh Ins

So I just don't want to know my weight! It's not really healthy or helpful to me right now. I do know that none of my jeans fit and the adorable new summer dress I bought at H&M a few months ago definitely does not fit, and has to go into the closet for summers in the future!

But I still have use of all my other clothes, especially since a lot of the stuff I have is a mix from when I was anywhere from 120 to 140 pounds. 

I'm definitely not trim anymore, I have a little pudge around my midsection, some of which I know is uterus and baby and extra blood and all that. But I think I'll just rely on my doctors monthly weigh ins to check in on how I'm doing. She said she would let me know if she thought I was gaining too much weight, and I will respect her opinion.

But other then a slight wardrobe change, I don't look super pregnant to people who don't know me well and I still haven't told anyone at work. I'm going to wait until obviously everyone can tell before I confirm.

Here's a picture of me from today, just so you know I haven't fallen headfirst into all of the ice cream and all of the cookies like I would actually like to do. I'm keeping a balance for my and my child's health :)


Things are going pretty well for me. Chris finished refinishing the wood floors and is in the process of putting on all the trim, but he finished our bedroom, and I'm so excited to have it back to normal!

I did not get that promotion, but I actually think it's a blessing in disguise. This isn't really the place for me. But I'm going to stick it out here for a while, and see what life brings.

Namaste <3

  1. Just curious because I've never seen you post about it...what is your dream job?

    1. I went to school to be an archaeologist and worked as a field/lab archaeologist for 5 years, and off and on worked as a teaching assistant or lecturer at university. I would just love to have a job involving anthropology, archaeology, museums and history in SOME way - working in a museum would be absolutely ideal for me, in any capacity. I've applied to dozens of jobs in local museums and didn't hear a thing :( I'll keep trying but I've sort of given up on my dream.
