Happy Thursday, readers! I’m trying to enjoy this snowy day by relaxing with some Netflix because that’s all I can really find the energy to do anymore.
I am in week 32 of pregnancy and it STILL does not feel real. I can’t believe in less than two months I’m gonna be someone’s mom! It is extremely exciting and I can’t stop looking at Pinterest for endless ideas and alllll the websites for cute outfits!
Since my fingers were last tapping away not too much has changed. We did add another four-legged friend, named Aurora, to the family! She looks like our old pup but is so tiny and quiet, and refuses to leave my moms side. She was the perfect addition to help cure some of the sadness from Joba being gone.
Stella and I had another 2 week check-up yesterday and the doctor said, “Guess your body loves being pregnant”, because I don’t seem to have any issues physically going on while growing her! It was nice to hear that I’m growing a healthy little babe, especially when some days it’s harder than running a few miles.
So far, the third trimester has been a close sister to the first trimester… SO sleepy all the time, so many bathroom trips, so much hunger. I feel like I can’t eat, sleep, or pee enough. Thankfully the only thing that seems to be growing is my belly and my thighs (which always gain weight first) so I really can’t complain. My thoughts are now just rotating between what labor and delivery will be like and what it’s gonna be like being a mom.
Since I’m always so open with you readers I don’t mind sharing that I don’t intend to get an epidural unless I’m about to pass out from pain. I’m planning on going in with an open mind and taking everything as it comes because I heard that, as with everything else in life, labor and delivery don’t always go as planned. I think my Michael will be the greatest person to have by my side since he’s so calm and always knows how to make me laugh. I’m almost 100% positive he’s gonna cry as much as me too (I love how he shows his emotion and isn’t afraid).
My baby shower is fast approaching and I can’t wait! My mom is making sure everything is perfect (and adorable). But, I do hate being the center of attention and it’s gonna be hard for me to do so much talking in front of everyone. I am already so thankful for everyone coming and can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Next up to rant about: the living situation.
Michael and I have been back and forth about living in an apartment or buying a house for months. For that reason we are sooo behind in actually finding anything but we did decide on going straight to a house. We don’t see the point in wasting money for a year when that $10,000 or more could go towards a house. The market is a scary, scary place right now with everything going over asking price so we are taking our time. Thankfully we aren’t in a time constraint to push us out of our parents houses. Both parents said we can stay as long as we need. Even though it’s not ideal, it’s the smartest thing we can do and its only temporary! By the summer we will be in our own home, spending nights cuddled with our daughter, and having friends and family over. It’s all so stressful but so exciting!
Up until she gets here Michael and I are just trying to rest and prepare for when she’s here. We’re trying to go out and spend nights with friends before we’re really occupied for a few months by two little feet! Even though I can barely put my own shoes on and none of my jackets zipper, I’m trying to find the energy to go out and get dinner with our friends and family as much as I can. Tonight we’re getting dinner with his brother, his girlfriend, and his two best friends! I know everyone is excited to add Stella to the group but we wanna enjoy our time with them too.
It’s a really nice feeling knowing that all our close friends will still be there after our big life change. Many people say they found out who their true friends were after they had a baby but I don’t think Michael or I have to deal with that! We really got blessed with the humans we’re surrounded by.
We have a couples massage to get before she’s here and I am pumped for that considering my back feels like it’s in a million pieces! Other than that… we sit…. and wait!
Personally for me until she’s here I’m just trying to take a step back from social media. I’ve been getting rid of lots of ‘friends’ on all platforms. I just don’t see the need to have so many people seeing my personal life who I don’t even talk to. Other than my blog, I tend to keep things low-key. A lot of people are only looking at things so they can talk about it and I’m not about that life. Making things private and blocking and unfriending is my new favorite downtime task!
Well, I think its time to take a nap. I probably will fall asleep in my wings tonight if I don’t fit one in!
I hope to find some time before the little babe arrives but if not I’ll be back sometime after with hopefully tons of cute and exciting updates!
Thanks for following my journey and I can’t wait to start writing about my littlest love.
Until then…. Lex.

I think people forget that you’re not going to post all the bad shit on here just like they wouldn’t post all their bad days on Instagram or Facebook or Snapchat whatever social media they use. If your pregnancy was good and easy and you have a nice support system then we should all be happy about that. Maybe the person that wrote it didn’t have those things, maybe they had a bad pregnancy, or unhappy with their child’s father or doesn’t have family to help them, that’s what it seems like to me. Either way it’s sad on both ends sad that they feel it’s okay to bully and belittle others success and sad they went/are going through it. I’m sure you have faced struggles and still struggle with things but don’t always post them, and you shouldn’t feel like you have to either. You’ll learn how to be a mom and I’m sure you’re going to face tons of hard moments and sad moments but also followed by thousands of happy and joyful moments, being a mom is not easy but it’s the best job in the world, welcome to the club! I wouldn’t look too far into theses comments or even give this sad mom the attention she is so desperately seeking, keep focusing on you and Stella and she should be focusing on her own baby and bettering her life

I believe in honesty and being upfront with things and I just wanted to share with you, that comment was rude 100% and it was not nice, if that person felt that way they could have said it a much better way. I think what they are upset and frustrated with is the way you come across sometimes, saying that you guys are buying a house, planning trips all while having a brand new baby. There is nothing wrong with doing any of these but I think what’s upsetting to some is that you’re not working, you have stated you’re collecting unemployment because you can’t work because of being pregnant, which is understandable just also unrealistic. There are so many pregnant women working in this pandemic and are not fortunate enough to do so from the comfort of their own home, you talk about how you’re fortunate to live at home meanwhile there are people who have been affected by the pandemic who are pregnant or have small kids who are on the verge of being homeless. You talk about how perfect your relationship is, how you never fight, never have issues he’s so amazing, which again is a trigger for people. We are all human, we fight we have emotions and sometimes we don’t want to talk about it but to portray your relationship as this picture perfect thing sometimes is unrealistic in some people’s eyes. I think that’s where that person was coming from. I don’t agree with it or understand why they felt the need to share on such a public platform their displeasure with you but regardless, I try to see things from both sides and just stating what I believe is the issue. There is nothing wrong with planning trips, buying homes or doing anything else but I think it’s the way you come across in doing so. I don’t want you to think I’m being rude because I truly am not, what someone else is doing does not affect my life, I enjoy reading your blogs and seeing the changes and exciting things happening for you I just felt like to help you better understand someone’s anger you could see possibly why it upsets them ? I hope you can understand what I mean, again nothing against you personally just trying to help you see both sides

It’s not unrealistic because I have money saved and am making money still besides unemployment and he makes money. Everyone has their opinions but I don’t have to prove myself to anyone. I don’t come across any certain way on here. I’m stating what my life is like and as I said MANY TIME before… it’s not all perfect as with everyone who shares their life on social media only part of it is shown. Michael and I rarely argue or fight and everyone around us knows that. It can seem unrealistic to whoever but it’s true, we do have an amazing relationship. I’m glad you try to see both sides but to also comment your opinion and stating I come across in a certain way is rude. You clearly do not know me off of my blog because if you did you wouldn’t be saying any of these things. That person who commented is not struggling because of the pandemic I know who it is. This website gives me stats and I can see where the comments are coming from. I appreciate your concern but some opinions can be left unsaid. I’m not explaining myself on my personal blog

I had a feeling as soon as I saw that comment I knew who it was, and then when you mentioned the comment coming from a different state it all made sense.

I wouldn’t have anyone other than my mom and Michael in the room at birth so I’m just sad my mom can’t come. I’m having birth photos done at home.

I just need to say this, you handle these rude and ignorant people with such grace. I still cannot beehives the nerve these people have commenting the things they do. You’re enjoying this phase in your life and even if someone doesn’t agree with it no one is asking them to raise your child ? I read some of the other comments and put 2 & 2 together and if it’s an ex from his past grow up….you guys have been together for quite some time now it’s time for her to get over it and move on. I’m sure he’s happy for her, I’m sure you’re happy for your ex that’s how life works. You move on you find your person and you should SUPPORT OTHER WOMEN. I’m sorry people are rude and not nice on here when this is your safe place to blog and share your feelings and meet all new people who actually enjoy reading your stuff and support the choices you make in life. I just felt the need to say how I was feeling after reading these comments 90% are nice it’s just that 10% that can’t keep their mouth shut and sad it’s all coming from one person or that persons little friend group who is as low and immature as them. Age doesn’t matter I guess, I hope no one ever does this to them. Can’t wait to see life when Stella arrives, I hope you share her with the world and we get a small glimpse of the happiness she brings you guys

my friends are not helpful they are all skinny or some just don’t care to workout they just want to eat and drink all the time and there is nothing wrong with that I’m 22 I love doing that stuff but I’m gaining so much weight ):
are you nervous that you won’t lose the baby weight ? has it made you sad to gain weight (I know it’s for a miracle and you’re happy to be pregnant but just asking !)
Just wish I had your confidence

I’m sorry you’re not loving yourself 😔
For me my confidence came when I felt healthy. Not only was I chunky but I just felt so unhealthy and I knew it was time for a change. My past relationship was just eating like garbage and drinking a lot and he wasn’t motivated either so being with Michael has been a heaven sent gift for my body! I’ve always loved working out so finding motivation again wasnt hard. I lost around 20 pounds!
I’m not at all afraid about losing the baby weight because it’s all in my belly and hips! Michael already plans to help me get back to the shape I was in last summer! Now that I’ve done it once I know I can do it again. It’s actually exciting for me because I know I gained it for a good reason! Confidence takes a lottt of time to learn. I’m still teaching my best friends to be confident too

I am looking for some advice my ex and I have been separated for about a year and a half now, he has moved on and I still haven’t moved on seriously with anyone, we share a group of friends and I have tried my best to be mature and really just embrace seeing him out and am always more than nice when we do attend the same events, but now he has starting bringing his girlfriend around and it’s getting so hard for me to be okay with it. I’m trying so hard to just understand that he’s happy and I’m so so so happy for him just still sucks to see him with someone else ? Sucks to see him give someone all the things I asked for do you know what I mean ? I guess I’m asking how do you find the strength to be okay with an ex or even an ex’s new partner for the sake of saving my friendships, because now she’s close with my friends and I’m resenting her more, I know I sound like such a bitch and it sucks I am a really nice girl hahaha I just don’t know what to do, any advice or things you think I can or should be doing to make things better

Fortunately I’ve never had to deal with that or those feelings but I still know how hard it can be based off of my friends experiences. Like you said- you just have to be happy for him/them and embrace that things didn’t work out for a reason! It may suck sharing friends with the new girl but if everyone acts mature enough it shouldn’t be a problem! It’s all based on the other people and how mature they can act because I’ve experienced the immaturity but you just have to hold your head high. You will find someone who can give you everything that he didn’t!

what is a good way to tell someone I love them, I have been with my girlfriend for about 3 months now and I really do love this girl, I’m just not good with emotions or gifts and stuff so I guess I need a girls opinion on what to do here. Is there special things I should be doing to show her my love? Is there stuff that your man did that made you fall in love ?
LikeLike
Well we flat out told each other after about a month and a half! Michael would show me in little ways by always asking how I was doing, or checking if I was hungry/ tired. He made sure I knew he was always thinking of me. For me- it’s all in the little things and I think most, non-materialistic woman can say the same. Planning dates was always my tell tale sign that he liked being with me because he was doing the work! You got this! Just show her she’s special and she’s always on your mind!

I’m terrified for labor!!
I’m not sure when she’s gonna be born but we’re 20 days away from her due date!
Yes everything is ready for her!
House hunting is a headache! Market is crazy but we keep putting offers in and not giving up
No fun plans thanks to covid contaminating Michael and my mom!
I most ashamed of some stupid mistakes I made in my teens!
If I could go back I’d spend more time with Sophia when she was little
My biggest dream is to travel as much as I can with my little family
I do think they did very good. Mainly my mom when I was a teen. She taught me wrong from right and showed me what was important from an early age
I wish people would understand that just because I seem confident over the internet and blog that it took me a while to get here and I still have bad days! My
Life Isn’t always amazing 24/7
My biggest flaw is my impatience
My parents divorce. I would be a different person if they were still together
Yes, many times! When I was angry and things I’ve said in the heat of it
I would have sat back and thought about what to say instead of just being rude
It is very possible for opposite sexes to be just friends
I am extremely, truly happy. My life is full of what I think is most important.
I truly think I’ve only ever been in love once.
I do think I’m a genuinely good person!!
I’ve always wanted to be in health care since high school but pertaining to my jobs I’ve always just went with the flow and took whatever came at me
I would spend it going to new restaurants and coffee shops and traveling around.
I have quite a few lol my dreams are wild
I was closest with my cousin Matthew (still am with him and his wife)
-to see Europe, to grow old, to sky dive
I learned from her that there are genuine people out there to be your friends lol
I think trust, humility, and being open are important.
I HATE worms
Cookies and cream
I do love myself! Especially since becoming pregnant, it’s empowering
I actually did everything on my todo list from yesterday
I would not forgive anyone for cheating!
And no!
The one my mom and stepdad have- yes
Probably losing loved ones
I don’t think I’ve hurt anyone very badly
Yes- sky dive lol
I last cried last week when I didn’t feel well
My first kiss with Michael was the night we met in July 2019!
Greatest failure would be dropping out of Daemen college
I NEVER judge anyone. It’s one of my favorite things about myself
So many things do- mainly the people in my life. Probably laughed very at my family party two weeks ago
I’m a happy drunk!
My first “love” was a boyfriend after high school. I was young and it was the typical young love. I wasn’t in love but we had good times with our large group of friends
