30 Weeks Pregnant Picture

30 Weeks Pregnant Update 

How far along: I am 30 weeks and 5 days pregnant in the pictures, she is still the size of a "winter squash" or mini pumpkin? Who knows. These food comparisons confuse me...but she will be the size of a "winter squash" until week 32. She is just getting FAT now. 

Symptoms: Peeing up to 5 times a night some nights; Heartburn after anything spicy, which is upsetting because I like spicy foods (yay for tums); Lightheadedness if I do not eat within a certain time frame of hunger haha; I had a slight break out last week on my face, but that is likely just stress, my skin has actually been pretty good throughout this whole pregnancy; Boobs still leaking which is a good sign, means they are working and getting ready for baby girl; My leg numbness still happens in the morning and at night if I am sitting up in bed; She is crushing my lungs! The perks of having a miniature torso!; Last but not least (from what I can remember of my symptoms) Braxton Hicks!

Cravings: I don't know what is wrong with me...no cravings. Zack certainly has them still..."You know what I am craving...?" I just look at him like, please tell me princess, what is it that you want. It is fun to joke around about though, we always laugh when he says "You know what sounds good?" or "You know what I am craving?"

Aversions: Nothing sounds awful, but nothing sounds great either...

Wedding rings: On

Sleep: I wish.

Excited for: I am excited for her to be here. In the beginning you just can't wait until your next ultrasound, now I am at the point where I am like okay little baby, get on out here and hang out with me! I am also excited for my baby shower coming up soon!

Missing: I am missing sleep, clothes that fit, breathing normally, and working out!

Movement:  She is the craziest baby in the world. She is so hyper, all the time. Especially today! Simmer down little one, get some sleep! 

Dr. update: She is still head down and in the correct position. 

Exercise: Still working out on the eliptical and going on walks! I am slow, but I am still moving. Just sweating a little bit helps me relieve stress so I try to do something active every day, even if I am not going my hardest every day it is still good to get out and get myself and baby moving!

Stretch marks: None on my tummy, none on my butt or thighs, none on my hips but I did get some on my boobs, but I had DD boobs before pregnancy so it was bound to happen when they got even bigger. They are super little and I have just been using my Frank scrub on them and keeping up with all of my oils and lotions!

Swelling: After working out or at the end of the day, but only if I am really looking for it. I think I will experience more in the next coming weeks.

Maternity clothes: Nope! Still no maternity clothes. We will see....still haven't purchased any and I thought I would have had to by now, maybe I will need to next month! We will see!

Labor signs: Nope!

What I am loving:  I am loving how close we are getting and slowly buying things for her like clothes, the crib, and making the baby registries and deciding on our carseat and stroller and all of that. We are getting so close!

Best moment of this week: Zack and I went to the mall and we got her a cute little bodysuit. Zack picked it out at Nordstroms and really wanted to get it for her and I thought that was really sweet. I love how excited he is and how he is always so into this little baby. He is very sure on the stroller we want and the car seat which I think is cute also, cuts my job in half having him look with me! We also went to Victoria's Secret and got me underwear that doesn't dig into my hips (I hate the word panties so we are settling on underwear) and oh my god they are so comfortable haha, really ridiculous I know, but comfort is my best friend these last weeks of pregnancy.

Maternity Photoshoot: Beauty Products I Used

Beauty Products Used:

Okay, I have received a few emails to my direct email asking me some of the products I used for the maternity photos (my email is listed under "contact" on the homepage). You can also comment below the post if you have any further questions. Let's jump into it!

These are not all of the products I used, just some of the ones asked for in specific...if you have any other questions on the products I used feel free to ask!

Eyeshadow: Naked 3 Palette colors used include...

Strange

Limit

Nooner

Factory

Concealer: MAC Pro Longwear concealer in NC20

Mascara: Loreal Voluminous Mascara in Original (normally I prefer the carbon black color in this mascara, but this did the trick)

Eyeliner: I didn't want a harsh cat-eye so I smoked out my black eyeliner using MAC Carbon eyeshadow before applying any liquid liner to the outer corners. The liquid liner I used was Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Eyebrows: My brows are already thick, so they don't need much tampering with, but I do like to fill in the sparse areas. I used/use Anastasia Brow Wiz in Soft Brown

Primer: I just opted for using a primer in a few places, like my T-zone. I used Benefit The POREfessional balm to minimize any pores

Setting Powder: One of the non-transparent setting powders I used for all over my face was NARS setting powder in the color Beach

Bronzer(s): I use a non-shiny bronzer for any contouring I do, which I do not do much, especially in these photos...but I did use Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Medium/Deep it is a completely Matte Bronzer. For lightly dusting on my face I used NARS Laguna.

Highlighter: I used NARS Albatross

Blush: I used MAC Melba, it is a matte peachy pink

Lips: On the inside of my lips I used Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in the color Sultry, then I lightly added Tarte Lipsurgence in Exposed all over my lips

Now for my hair, I used the 32MM NUME Magic Curling Wand. I had an old curling wand that I was using forever, the ones you get from the kiosks in the mall where the people chase after your waving products at your face....that one. I had that one for years and years, I think over 6 or 7 years I have had that one and I needed an upgrade! I got this one from NUME not too long ago and I used to have to wait forever for my old one to heat, this one heats up to your desired temperature so quickly! You get to choose the temperature you want, unlike my old one which was just an on/off button. I love this one and I love how quickly I can style my hair. 

I will be doing a giveaway with the 19MM wand soon!

Remember any questions you have, you can always comment below! I love hearing from you all!

Maternity Photoshoot Pictures

First Set of Maternity Pictures 

Here are some of the maternity photos we took yesterday...there are tons, but I thought I would pick and choose a handful to share with you all! Wouldn't want you to have to scroll through hundreds of them so here are a chunk of them! 

We are still going to be doing a "couples" shoot, but I thought I would wait until I am slightly bigger for that one! 

Thank you Zack for taking all of these, I love you!
