I didn't pose her for this, I swear. 😂 She just loves the lights, like lasers. #christmascats This is it for Christmas decor for us this year, to the dismay of my in-laws and family. Stockings that dont match hung on 5 (!) hooks that I love (Baby G to be, me, him, Sam and Kiki) and some real garland with battery operated twinkle lights from @target. We will never do real garland again bc that ish is everywhere but for this year it's perfect. What you don't see is boxes of baby clothes and diapers and all of things that need a place before she gets here in the next 10 weeks. And that's okay. It'll get done. It's a "problem" I'm happy to have. I love this season but the thought of putting up a tree and dragging out boxes that I can't carry right now is just not happening. So no tree. Right now, hot cocoa in front of garland and twinkle nights is just as nice as a decked out tree with all the things. 🌲#sweetwater4days4ways #grateful

We were incredibly spoiled by our mom's and family yesterday, baby girl is so very loved already. It's #crohnsandcolitis awareness week, and I'm more grateful than ever for my care team and for this healthy pregnancy. With #IBD and #pregnancy, there's normally the rule of thirds: 1/3 get better, 1/3 stay the same, 1/3 get worse. I've been lucky enough to be in the 1/3 that has gotten better. I'm not currently on any medications (though many are safe for pregnancy) and my only dietary restriction is gluten. Morning sickness and other "normal" pregnancy sickness aside, I'm glad I've been able to enjoy this, and my team is prepared for the unknown of what may come after she arrives. I could flare immediately, or not. We just don't know. But I don't fixate on that, I don't have the energy to waste worrying about something I have no control over. We're excited for what the next few months will bring! Less than 12 weeks to go. 😁😅 #ulcerativecolitis #ibdmoms #ccfa #myibd #autoimmunedisease
