My Name is JoelaMay 2015 ⋆ My Name is Joela

I lost my ankles! Has anybody seen them? Because I for sure can’t see them. I’m not even talking about my belly blocking my feet, I can’t see them because they’re so darn swollen! Have any of you experienced swollen ankles and feet? Or even swollen hands and face? Apparently this is completely normal in your 6th month of pregnancy. What I’m most concerned about is that I am only 6 months and that it’s actually going to get worse! Especially because the next 3 months in Jersey are the hottest!! 😁😁 Yikes!

Well, I already said goodbye to all my beautiful shoes. 🙁 I tried wearing flats the other day and it looked liked a shoved a sausage in there. No Bueno.

Good thing my besties bought me some Birkenstocks for my birthday because I’ll definitely be living in those for the next few months and flip flops too.

Oh well, let’s just hope my feet go back to normal afterwards! I really miss my beautiful shoes. 😫

Hi all! I know its been quite a while since my last post. The last time I posted, I announced we were having a baby boy and right after that I headed out to Fort Lauderdale for work. I will say, having traveled for work in the past I have always enjoyed it and I thought it would be the same but boy was I wrong. It was an emotional roller coaster. I pretty much cried almost everyday I was there. 🙁 It was so sad. I never felt so sad to be away from my husband and my doxie. Some people say when your pregnant your hormones make you go nuts and you get into fights with your spouse but I’ve been feeling the total opposite. I feel more connected to him and I want to be closer to him and spend more time with him so to leave for a week was torture. Needless to say, I survived lol ….I was sure glad be home.

Fast forward a week, it was Mother’s Day……

Fast forward another week and it was my birthday. I turned 31 on May 16th, I really can’t believe it. I felt like my 30th birthday was just a few months ago and now I’m over the hump. I feel truly blessed this year to be pregnant with my little one, its the best gift God can give you and I am truly thankful. My husband also got me the Kate Spade diaper bag I asked for so that’s a plus! 🙂 Happy Birthday to me! Weeeeeeeee!!!

Check it out!

This past weekend we also took a short road trip to Wilmington, DE and Cape May, NJ. My husband wanted to take me for a little weekend getaway since we haven’t been on vacation since August and me being preggers and all has been difficult to get away. Here are some pictures from our trip.

So that’s what’s been keeping me busy these days. May is typically a busy month. I will try not to take too long in-between my posts again. That’s my 24 week update! I am feeling good, I am feeling happy and I’m counting the weeks until September 9th! I can’t wait! <3

xoxo
