It’s the day we all have been waiting for! No, not the birth of our third baby — Walt’s first day of Kindergarten.  What an emotional month August is shaping up to be.  We took Walt out of his pre-K starting on August first to try and break up the summer a bit for him….

How far along: 36 WeeksTotal weight gain: 33-ish pounds? I kind of stopped paying attention. Maternity clothes: See above pic for my uniform. A maxi dress. Not always flattering, but definitely comfy and cool.Sleep:  I hate to even admit this, but it’s still ok.  It’s rare I go the entire night without waking up, but I think I’m…

I obviously have a lot of catch up on regarding this topic. We have been hesitant to announce this news mostly because it’s terrifying! I think we expected at every juncture that something was going to fall apart and this new house of ours would just be a dream, not a reality. Our hesitation is…

My friends are awesome. I know I gush about this amazing set of girlfriends that I have, but seriously…they are the best.  This being our 3rd baby, I definitely didn’t expect any celebration (and we certainly don’t *need* anything…except girl clothes!…but, they were insistent on celebrating our upcoming baby girl. I’m finally starting to see…

How far along: 32 WeeksTotal weight gain: I’ll say it – 30lbs and counting. I do not make small babies !Maternity clothes: All the time and usually a maxi dress.Sleep:  Still doing pretty good with sleep. Some nights are better than others and starting to wake to pee on some nights. But in terms of getting comfortable, I’m…

Phew! What a month! And, we get to cap it all off by celebrating our favorite littlest brother.  We celebrated Oscar’s birthday on his actual birthday (June 23) with some vegan cupcakes (thanks, Unrefined Bakery!) and some family time. Oscar got things he usually has to share from his brother – like this perfectly manly…

It’s the year of change in the Bruns’ house! We are forcefully shoving gradually encouraging Oscar into some big boy changes. Joking aside, there are things it’s time for him to move on from. We took his paci away about 3-4 months ago.  While he only had it at night, it was time. We have…

I love summer. Schedules loosen a bit, which is nice (and can be a bit maddening for my Type A), but in the end, I like the change in pace. I knew we would be limited on vacation options this summer for a number of reasons. The obvious reason is my growing belly. I can’t…

If you know anything about Oscar, you know that he’s not exactly built like a gymnast. He’s tall and solid as a rock. More like a linebacker than a tightly compact gymnast.  But, the kid is strong!  About a year ago, we decided to enroll him in gymnastics at Eagle Gymnastics. It was a parent-and-me…

How far along: 28 weeks – third trimester!Total weight gain: Not gonna do it!Maternity clothes: Absolutely!Sleep:  Mostly still good. I’m starting to wake up occasionally to pee in the middle of the night. Not my favorite thing, but it’s not every night. Best moment this month: SO much this month. Walt’s graduation? Finalizing Viv’s name?Miss Anything: Wine and normal-sized clothes. Movement: Yes – regular…
