Advice from eight year olds

sweater: old navy $6    skirt: target $10 
(both are recent purchases)

I think it's no surprise that people like to give pregnancy advice and think that when you're talking to a pregnant woman there aren't many rules of what you can and can't say.  Thankfully I haven't had many strange or awkward conversations since being pregnant. 

 The majority of the advice and questions I've been asked have come from my third graders, with the best being this story about breastfeeding.  

My class threw me a little surprise baby shower at the end of the year and one of the moms had the students write down advice for me.  It was so cute and quite funny.  Here are a few of their wise words: 

Always wear a gas mask when you change her diaper. 

Don't let your baby eat big pieces of food.  

Let your baby sleep a lot during the day and night.  If they don't sleep enough then they baby won't grow and be strong and taller. 

Put a clothespin on your nose when you change her. 

Give her lots of love. 

Don't let your baby eat food off the ground or it may find a magnet to eat.  

Don't leave the baby alone with markers.  And make sure that if you let her color you watch her at all times.  

and this one is probably my favorite:

Buy some pretty lights.  Babies like shiny or colorful things that gleam or sparkle.  
P.S. I have two baby cousins and they are difficult. 

Some of them are pretty good, right? She put it in a little photo album/scrapbook and I can't wait to read it to my daughter someday! 


I shared this last week and apologize ahead of time because I will probably share it again next week! I've never entered a "fashion" contest before but feel like this one it right up my alley, as it's about finding a good deal.  I had a hard time choosing which outfit to enter and decided on this $5 dress I found from old navy.

Third

 
dress: H&M    tee: old navy    flats: jcpenney

I feel a little like a pioneer in this dress because of it's length.  I don't know if I've ever had the problem of a maxi dress being too short but I'm pretty sure it shrunk and then add my belly to shorten it.  But it's so comfortable I am still going to wear it.

I am so happy to be in the third trimester.  It felt like it was beyond slow at the beginning and now time seems to be moving quickly.  There is this huge relief that I feel now that we've reached this point.  Although I have no plans on early labor or any reason to think something will happen, it's comforting to know that if our baby girl decided to come anytime soon, she'd be able to make it.  


Hope you have a great start to the week!
