Before I became pregnant, I thought it was so confusing when pregnant people talked in weeks. Nowhere else do you measure time by weeks. I would always try to convert to months in my head and usually say something like “sooo.. seven months.” Now that I am pregnant, I’ve turned into a week talker. So much happens week to week that waiting a whole month for a new milestone would simply be too long! That is why babies also get to go by their “month” age instead of “years” like the rest of us. According to my month math my thirty-six weeks translates to 9 months – at least with every month being 4 weeks. I guess that is also where you can go wrong in measuring by months! haha.
I haven’t always been the best at documenting this pregnancy
You know, Pinterest style with weekly updates and that growing bump. Sometimes I am super in the mood for nesting & photos and other times I’m laying down on every couch/ bed that I pass. haha. But I’m trying not to be hard on myself either. We got these dreamy photos the other day after work (my husband is just the best) and I can’t believe how big this bump is! Every week I feel like it can’t get bigger, and there it goes – getting bigger! Like I remember when this bump felt huge… HAA!
I’m at the point where dresses are really the most comfortable things.
Dresses or over-sized t-shirts with maternity sleep shorts. So I am either dressed up or dressed way down 😉 I love this dress from Pink Blush. It is beautiful and flowy and oh so comfortable! I’ve also been obsessed with these leather Chacos! They are perfect for these pregnant feet and have taking me all over. I even wore them majority of my time in Chicago and all over downtown!
It is a bit unbelievable to me that in just 4 short weeks (give our take) our sweet Hilde will no longer be moving, kicking, and growing in my belly but in my arms! There are a lot of little things I am nervous about – labor, nursing, sleeping, figuring out what I am doing, etc but I am so excited to see what she looks like and learn more about her! I told Bruce in the car yesterday that I cannot wait to see what color eyes she has, and what her enenagram is, and all the things! I feel like I know her so intimately but I know nothing about her. What a marvelous mystery!
What beautiful photos to look back on!! 🙂

Thank you so much Jenna!
You are gorgeous and there’s no pressure to take the weekly photos!! I haven’t been doing the monthly photos I did with my first baby, and have been feeling guilty about it…but why?! Such a silly pressure we put on ourselves 😉 Anyway, love the photos and am wishing you all the best as you prepare to welcome Hilde into the world!!!
Gah! Thanks so much! haha. I know. Document when you can/ want and let the rest go!
I love your dress! And yes, once you have her in your arms, it will be glorious 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Look at you!! You’re almost there!
I had a friend very impatiently convert my weeks into months at one point while we were talking and I could tell he was just annoyed over the whole week thing (even though his conversion wasn’t even right). I get it dude, it’s weird, but it’s so important when each week holds so many milestones! And yes, the weeks vs months thing gets so screwed up when you consider a month is not 4 weeks each time.
These photos are gorgeous! One day you can sit Hilde down and show her these photos. They will mean so much to her!
Yay you are so close to meeting your little girl! You look so happy!!
I’m so excited for you to meet your precious little girl! <3
The only thing that I liked wearing at the end of my pregnancies were my husbands t-shirts… So you’re looking WAY better in that cute dress! She’ll be here before you know it and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.
