I am also new to your blog and have been laughing out loud at your posts for every 4 weeks. I am currently almost 26 weeks along and can pretty much agree with everything your writing. Luckily though, I have never gotten sick and sleeping at night is still pretty peaceful, so I’m waiting for the “just wait” period. I look forward to hearing and SEEING your little one – good luck!

Oh Brooke you look so great! I finally just got caught up on your blog and loved reading all the updates–and totally cracked up several times on what you’re learning. Just wait until the fingernail pains. That’s the only way I can describe them…I won’t elaborate here. :) Can’t believe you are in your 3rd trimester. Count down! Love you, and talk to you soon

@Jennifer – Oh, I’m hoping this is just a pregnancy thing too! I’m using a topical prescription of Rosula, which works really well. Plus Witch Hazel, Purpose brand oil free moisturizer + spf, and a little clearasil here and there is working. I have a steamer I like to use every other week or so – and somehow the combination of all of this makes my skin manageable. I’ve been getting a facial every 5 weeks or so too, to start with a clean slate. Seems to be helping.

Thanks for commenting!

Hi Brooke,

Love your blog and congrats on your pregnancy! I can relate to the skin issues…I got acne BIG TIME when I was pregnant with my now-16-month-old. Just terrible, luckily it was the only pregnancy issue I had though! :) I’m thinking of having another in the future and was wondering what products you’ve found that work? (I know everyone’s different but definitely curious!) Anyway, LOVELY site and congratulations again! :)

So adorable that your mom kept your onesie. And evidently, she and I have the same taste in names: I have a 2-year-old son named Ryan and a 1-year-old daughter named Brooke.

Best wishes to you. I’m convinced that those 9-months are needed to make you actually look forward to child labor. And that’s saying A LOT!
