If you’re not aging, you’re dead 🫶
I’ve tried it all, and worked with the best:
hair, skin, and makeup. This is what I’ve learned ♥️

BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE 🍎 @arkswimwear
We got in at 11 pm last night, rant to the hotel to change into a bikini, and went right over to time square to see my butt in 4K…if you’re in the city, come say hi! 🍑
I shot this 24 hours after my IVF retrieval and I’m pretty fucking proud of myself for pulling it off 🥹 love you @kirbs this is so cool ♥️
From prom to geriatric bachelorettes, @lulus really does do it all. 😂🙇♀️ #luluspartner 👯♀️ Lulus was originally founded by women, to support woman, and you feel that throughout the entire company. They’ve held my hand through breakups, helped me buy my house, and were the first to jump at supporting me in becoming a WIFE 🤯 Thank you to Lulus for always making me feel beautiful and confident through all of my life’s moments. Also, I’m linking the feather pajamas because they make a hangover feel like FASHION. 👸 #lovelulus #theyrestuckwithmeforever
Baby boy was showered!!!🚿
•We’re officially 8 1/2 months pregnant!! I didn’t really think it through, but I get why people do their showers earlier. I was so EXHAUSTED after this 😂
•cannot believe how much love I felt. Friends and family flew in from all over, and from so many different stages of life to celebrate for an afternoon. Had to keep pinching myself, cannot believe how many incredible people we have in our lives 🥹
•my neighbor offered to host the shower and pretty much all I had to do was show up. Truly the most incredible gift. Just wow. I will pass it on 🙇♀️
•most amazing pickle/bloody mary/martini bar courtesy of @kaylinandkaylin 🥒 pickles have been my absolute favorite thing for the last 8 months, and theirs are the best to ever exist. We did horseradish brine bloodys, jalapeño brine martinis, dill spritz’s, pickles on a stick, and a full tasting bar. A few people were barred from driving home 🥂
•every single person asked about the cinnamon buns. They’re from @allaboutthecinnamonbaby and they’re the best. You must go there at some point. 🤤
•we did an after party at our house, boys were invited, and we all got in the pool and ate carrot cake.
•I got tan line (spots) from the bedazzles, I had everyone take Polaroids and leave me notes in a guest book so I can read them when I’m up at night with the baby. We did a really silly apple sauce eating competition and I laughed my faceee off (thank you to our volunteers). The whole day was the perfect balance of silly and sweet. 🫶
Love my husband, love my family, love my people.
We’re ready for baby boy whenever he’s ready 🩵
My cravings this pregnancy have been pickles and drugs. 🤭
@kaylinandkaylin was as good as the internet said.
*get a pickle flight: my favorites were honey mustard, jalapeño, horse radish, and classic kosher
*the pickle boat with peanut butter, nutella, and pretzels was creepily delicious
*we should all be eating more nacho cheese
Hand on belly so people can tell I’m pregnant….🤭
Didn’t get any other photos, but I went through the shame of self timing this on the balcony because getting dressed pregnant is horrendous, and I had to give this dress a moment. It’s so soft and stretchy. Hot with abs, hot with a human inside of you. 10/10 recommend. Comment “🖤” and it’ll automatically send the link!
Some things I’ve learned in the first 4 months of pregnancy 🥰 Can’t believe we’re almost half way there, and truly don’t have words to express how excited I am to hold this little guy 🥹 Comment “favorites” and I’ll send you my current list of go-to’s + a link to save $$$ ♥️
1. Not all prenatals are created equal, and a quality prenatal is SO important while pregnant and TTC. I started taking @needed per my doc’s rec. It’s 3 citrus flavored capsules that have 8x more nutrition than most other prenatals. If you’re not into pills, the vanilla powder is also SO good. I’ve been alternating the two because I genuinely crave the drink. They’re doing a site wide sale right now, so a great time to try.
2. Get a comfy bra earlier than you think!!! I’m still truly in shock at how quickly my boobs grew. I went from an A cup to a D cup in a few weeks and I literally did not own a single bra before this. Underwire was an absolute NO for me.
3. Not gonna lie I miss an evening glass of wine, but I’ve been swapping it for pregnancy-friendly night caps. Have been loving my ginger ales, and I’ve been making myself a nightly chamomile magnesium tea to wind down and help me fall asleep. It’s been a lifeline.
4. Surrender to the stretchy onesies. Especially in early pregnancy they actually make you feel pregnant, which is nice when you’re in that in between confusing belly stage. They don’t cut into your hips at all and are easy to take on and off.
5. Add collagen. It’s so easy to sneak into drinks and it supports skin elasticity, healthy hair, pelvic floor health, and gut health. I take the @needed Collagen it’s one ingredient, clean, flavorless, and dissolves easily. I add it to water, coffee, soups. It’s great.
6. Get a frother! It makes life so much easier and helps me add a bunch of nutrients to almost any drink without clumps. I love to mix the vanilla prenatal with collagen, creatine, and colostrum for a super cocktail.
7. Work out when you can. I’ve felt SO much better since adding movement back into my routine. Barre, Pilates, and strength training have been my go-tos. Feeling strong has made all the body changes feel less dramatic.
What did I miss?! 😍
Growing a human? Oh yeah, that shit crayyy.
Your DMs always remind me it’s important to share all the things. There is something so human and soothing about knowing you’re not alone, so thank you ♥️
Also this is in no way a pity post. So far from it. I’m honestly in shock almost every day that this is my life and I get to meet the baby I’ve always dreamed about this year!!! 🤯🤯🤯
I’ve been surrounded most of my life by people who always said they loved pregnancy and that it was the most magical time of their lives. I think I built this idea that it would feel like prancing through a twinkly forest full of fairies. Some days it honestly does feel like that. And other days… just whoa.
Theme of the year: both can be true ⚖️
Tits’ the season 🍒
I may no longer have a waist line BUT my boobs are huge, skin is glowing, hair is long, and my hormones have stopped attacking me so I’m feeling happy and hot. Letting myself enjoy it! ✨
I can’t be the only one 🙈
I know body stuff is the touchiest subject of all the subjects, but it’s also SO real, and I think we all experience this in some form at some point in our lives? Orrr maybe I’m just an overly aware vain asshole? Idk, we’ll find out.
My body has been my livelihood for 15 years. I had ab lines on demand, my ass has defied gravity for decades, and now it’s different. I knew it would be different, and it’s different for the best reason EVER, but I can’t not acknowledge that it’s different, and it’s new, and it’s hard to dress myself.
This is the conversation I’m having with close friends and in my DMs, and while it feels risky, I wanted to put it here. Not because I need anything, but because I think by not sharing, we leave people feeling like it’s just them going through something. This applies to almost every part of life. If we don’t share, how do we ever create community?
So this may be the worst thing I ever post, but it’s also the most honest. I am growing a human. Whatever happens to make that possible is WELCOME, and I know I haven’t even really started yet, but that doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge it. Interested to hear people’s thoughts. Very little offends me, so feel free to go for it.
