five on friday

one. beauty finds

I branched out in my go to lip polish this week and busted out the fall colors.  I've mentioned my Buxom love before- and they have a giant rainbow of lip colors and I have fallen in love with another one: Vanessa (lavish mulberry)  

I'm looking for an amazing red lip gloss or lipstick to wear for our family pictures coming up on Monday..I've never worn RED before, and in fact this mulberry color is the darkest I've ever gone.

anyone have an amazing red they love!?  please share!!  

ALSO.. my shirt.  non-maternity and so gorgeous! 

two. a little bit of velcro

 another fab find this week.. velcro rollers.  I posted on my IG stories the other morning and there was a little confusion around the velcro rollers giving me the loose curls- they dont. they DO give me amazing volume!  I put them at the crown of my head and front "bangs".  I put the rollers in, spray dry volume spray, blow-dry for 5-10 seconds and then allow to sit for just about 15 minutes.

I haven't teased my hair in a week:)

no teasing!  just enough volume. 

I AM working on doing a hair tutorial.  you guys have stressed me out enough about it so I'm finally pulling the trigger:) 

..oh and theres that bebe boy.

(check out my midi-length sweater + favorite maternity tank) 

three. toddler ponchos

yes. I went there!  the cutest ponchos for the fall season. I am so excited for dressing the girls in cooler weather clothes starting with these adorable ponchos made by one of my long time favs- odarling handmade.  Emma was among the very first small shops that I ever purchased anything from.. and aside from these amazing ponchos (that come in a variety of colors!) she makes our favorite leggings and harems.  baby brother will definitely be sporting some of her fantastic handy work!

use code PBANDJ for 20% off ponchos- code works through the weekend!

four. kid talk

THESE girls have been cracking me up beyond words right now.  

Parker has this new found love for the "poop smile" and when I told her to do something different with her face this is the look I got:

and then she started SCREAMING 3 seconds after this picture because 

JOWEE is choking me!!! GET OFF ME JOWEE. 

but omg.  I love them.  the conversations we've had lately are just tear-worthy and I find myself saving things that they say in the notes section of my phone or else I will definitely forget.. and I never want to forget! 

Jo: what is THAT?!

me: it's tomato soup in a bread bowl 

Jo: well. I don't like you soup

me: you haven't even tried it!

Jo: well. I can smell you breath. 

me: go to bed, jolie.

Parker: hey! did you know my mom have a baby brother in her tummy? 

me: I did! ..Parker.. am I your mom? 

Parker: NOPE! 

(in the car to go to BB's house)

Parker: we're off the see the wizard! 

Parker: mom. what his baby name?

me: we haven't decided yet

Parker: his name should be Kendall. Rainbow Kendall. 

me: Kendall is your cousin's name.

Parker: yaaaa. but it so beautiful... just beautiful. 

I never want them to change.  

but look at these babies!!!  same outfit.  going to preschool.  not even a year ago.  

they look so little!

five. baby steps.

I last mentioned my parents a couple weeks back.. I had zero intention of writing about them on such a casual post like five on friday.. but the words kept coming and the tears were flowing and it just ended up out there for everyone to see.  ANYway.. I'm hosting a baby shower at my house this weekend and asked my mom on a whim to come in town to help me get everything set up and put together.  all those last minute details I always feel like I'm going to completely fail at the final execution- it helps to have someone cheering you on even if they don't do a thing, ha!  she obliged quickly to my request, so she and my dad are coming in town for the weekend.  I'm excited to see them again.. and the girls are excited, too!  which brings another level of relief to my anxieties.  wishing for an easy going weekend with those folks.  and a fun time celebrating my good friend's baby boy!  say a little prayer, for me.. will ya? XO!

see ya'll on Monday!

pregnancy essentials | first trimester

being pregnant this third time around, has been a whole new experience.  I've done this before a couple times, you know, so I should know what to expect.  but also because it’s been so much different than my pregnancies with the girls! with the twins, as well as Baker, I had and easy breezy first trimester.  I was hardly sick and occasionally forgot I was actually pregnant.. and while the exhaustion never ceased, it was manageable.  with this little boy in my belly I had awful morning, er.. more like evening or ALL DAY sickness.  I am so exhausted, too.  I basically slept on my face at night even with a two hour nap during the early afternoon every day.  it’s pretty weird how pregnancies can have your body react in such different ways. I’ve really accepted this time around that while I can control a lot of things in my life, this isn’t one of them, so I’ve adapted a go-with-the-flow type mentality. with my first trimester recently rolling to a close, I thought I’d put together a short list of some of my favorite that have helped me get through those first 13 weeks.

get moving, stay hydrated, + take your vitamins!

invest in a good water bottle. I fill my hydroflask water bottle and I carry it everywhere. my OB suggested drinking 10 glasses of water or more every day and my giant bottle holds about 40 ounces.  so I know if I re-fill my water bottle at least two times I am in good shape!  Not to mention what I am eating and drinking outside of water itself.

saltine crackers. I was never without a sleeve of these crackers during the first trimester, and a short stack almost always kept my queasiness at bay. almost. 

fruit. I always love fruit, but when I am pregnant its like we need an apple orchard and strawberry farm in the backyard to keep up!  a bowl of fresh fruit is hands down my favorite first trimester snack..okay. maybe my favorite pregnancy snack in general. 

Fitbit. thankfully my sickness wasnt in the morning when I am used to working out.  but even then, waking up extra early has been hard! the fitbit has been a great thing to help keep an eye on my heart rate while working out but also to help keep me motivated to move throughout the day outside of bootcamp.

who doesn’t love a horse pill prenatal, am I right? as if your gag reflex isn’t already at it’s all time high (I cant even hardly brush my teeth), you are expected to swallow and tolerate a giant chalky vitamin. I am a horrible pill taker in general, and took one for the team while I was pregnant with the twins. I hated life taking those giant prenatals.. and when I was pregnant with Baker, I used the honest brand prenatal complete vitamin, and although it wasn’t the worst, I still couldnt take it on an empty stomach.  I made a healthy habit of taking my vitamins after dinner before going to bed so that I slept through any stomach discomfort.  this time around I have decided that the gummy vitamin is the way to go.  my OB wasnt super impressed with the idea of me taking an over the counter option I had selected, so she prescribed me the Vitafol gummy vitamin.  I also take an additional (gummy) calcium supplement- the target brand.  I’m still not convinced these gummies arent candy–a far cry from the horse pills!

I need support! … & a comfy pair of jeans.

snoogle body pillow. the snoogle body pillow has been a lifesaver. up and having to quit sleeping on your back or stomach can be a real drag, especially if you’re that kind of sleeper- which I am a hard core stomach sleeper.  my belly is still small enough I can ALMOST get away with it.. but I wake up so uncomfortable within an hour. this pillow is a must have. I swore by this pillow during my previous pregnancies- and when I was pregnant with the twins it took me until about mid-pregnancy to make the splurge.  that’s the best part about pregnancy the second and third time around–when you know better, you do better– all the little things you learn along the way add up for the next time around. the snoogle pillow encompasses your entire body giving you back and tummy support. I love that it will last all pregnancy.. and some time afterwards if I'm being truthful- the hubby found out that I had pulled this puppy out from the darkness while he was at work and browsing through my social media. basically sent me the crying emojis for three hours. sorry hubby.

speaking of support, I embraced maternity clothes much sooner this time around than I did with the other two pregnancies.  just finally accepting it for what it is.. so much better than the old elastic band through your buttonhole trick! my belly is measuring almost 2 weeks larger than I actually should be. I fell in love with the comfort and stye of motherhood maternity in my first pregnancy with the twins and again with Baker.  maternity pants style and sizing (leggings and denim) seems to be all over the map, but when you can find quality and comfort AND consistency in one place I totally can appreciate that.  I have several pairs of motherhood maternity denim (which I just noticed is BOGO 50% off right now!) and have ventured over to their work style pants/chinos as well as leggings and workout gear.  I know exactly the size I need and shopping online has been easy.  I about DIED when I found these faux leather leggings in their collection.  FAUX LEATHER.  I will find every reason to wear these:)  not to mention they are by Jessica Simpson maternity, which has inadvertently become  my favorite maternity designer. 

So, I know those are just a few items, but truth be told the first 13 weeks aren't riddled with many crazy life changes that required new purchases.. I took that time to focus on sleeping and trying to eat when I could. It was back to basic survival skills with less of the fun stuff. What did you swear by in your first trimester?

baker bree | 15 months

we went for Baker's 15 month check up today- our big growing girl is currently weighing in at 21 pounds and 8oz, wearing 12-18 month clothes and size 4 diapers.

..all that being said, we can still squeeze your tiny little bootie in size 6 month pants- although they are a leeeeetle short.  she's right at the 29th percentile for weight, but she's lost a little in the last couple months because she's growing in length and not really in girth- I mean, those string bean legs, tho.

the last time Baker was at the doctor she got her flu shot.. and she remember.  so getting her length and weight was a NIGHTmare.  she screamed for like 5 minutes even after the nurse had left the room.  d r a m a 

she was a little wheezy when she listened to her chest, and her throat is really red- which could also explain why she hasn't been eating well the last several weeks.. because it hurts.  mom of the year. dr. b thinks there is something viral going on right now and she even mentioned RSV- but without fever we are just going to hang tight before we do breathing treatments or antibiotics- her lungs cleared a bit when she coughed right in the middle of her listening, so thats good. 

but her ears were clear!

other news..

we have ONE new tooth this month.

..bringing the grand total to 5 teeth, which is comical.

but you surly don't mind to gum through everything I offer you. 

your appetite was basically terrible this month, but here at the end it has much improved- you really do love to eat when you WANT to eat.  but when you are teething food is just not an option. even your favs like cereal and oats and yogurt are a no go.

..peanut butter oats, strawberries, raspberries {all fruit, really}, eggs, grilled chicken, and holy cow you can scarf some mac and cheese! 

you also love to snack: yogurt, dry cereal, granola bars, goldfish, and graham crackers

you also remind me of Jolie because I can't keep your sippy cup of water full.

..you suck it down like you didn't have a swing/gulp/chug 3 minutes ago, and then you're stealing everyone else's sippy cups for a sip.

your motor development is definitely improving this month.

..climbing, running, walking up & down stairs, and using utensils while eating come easy to you.

over the last couple months you have started practicing your dance moves.

..this month you are definitely ready for back-up dancer extraordinaire.  

You do the shoulder lean and bee-bop like a boss.

Your few of your favorite things at 15 months: 

you've become quite attached to the pacifier as well as a small white polar bear your BB + Papa brought back from their trip to Europe.

legos, stacking blocks + puzzles.  you continue to come back to these toys for entertainment.

playing outside.  ALL.Dayyyy.Long.

you will stand at the door and just holler until someone lets you out.

you love anything and everything that plays music.

accessories.  bracelets, watches, necklaces, handbags.  you love them all, and you know how to layer those beads well, girl.  

pushing boxes, bags, toys {anything, really..} across the floor.  your recent obsession is with the huge water bottle in the pantry. you find it about once a day.

Face Time- omg it is hilarious to watch your face light up with animation when you talk to dad or BB and Papa on the phone.

you love, love, love your sisters. this has been a growing trend over the last couple months, but this month you really show a motherly concern over them when they are upset and want to be right in the middle of their playtime.

wrapping your legs around my waist and leaning your head on my shoulder while I hold you.

ok..that last one is probably your momma's favorite.

outgoing, hilariously goofy, wears a contagious smile, and most of all, pretty over dramatic.

..all words that describe your personality.

easy-going, care-free and clumsy describe you perfectly.

..you can't turn a corner without taking a topple, which never phases you at all.

you pop right up and take off once again.

..always on the move with places to go and people to see.

toys to steal!

onesie / tights  

..a rare sighting of the top teeth:)

jammies / glitter witch hat

earlier this month we went for flu shots and while we were there Dr. Butler caught Baker just at the right time when her right eye was pulling into the center a bit.  its never been super noticeable and she had never seen it, but Jordan and I both had noticed it from the day she was born.  it wasn't all the time or very consistent.. and it happened mostly when she was sleepy- and that day Baker hadn't gotten a solid nap and it was 4pm in the afternoon.

this picture was actually taken the day Dr. B noticed her eye pulling and you can really see it- most of the time you can only tell her eye is abnormal if she's looking up at you for any reason.

SO, she sent us to a pediatric ophthalmologist to get it checked out.  Baker was such a rockstar through the entire thing.. even let us dilate her eyes without so much of a fuss out of her! turns out it does pull in to the middle consistently BUT the great news is that her vision is completely normal and she will most likely grow out of it.  in the meantime we have the option to patch her left eye (the stronger eye) while she plays a couple hours every day to help strengthen the right eye.. but he also said not to stress out if she wont let us do the full two hours.  we got back in a few months to ensure that it isn't getting worse, but everyone is optimistic that it will resolve itself.

THIS girl.  that pointed lip action she does ALL the time when she is being sassy or silly or trying to get attention.. I wish I could find baby pictures of myself doing this exact same face..

..and THIS face.  theres the lip again.  she is just something else. Baker has so many of my own mannerisms and I see a lot of her in me when I was a baby.. from what baby pictures I have. 

my precious Baker Bree.  This world is brighter with you in it, little girl.  the sweetest kisses, all smiles, and hardly any tears.  every one comments on your contagious demeanor and personality.  

you are just sweet as pie.

healthy snacks + fit pregnancy | albion fit

I've gotten plenty of questions about staying fit during this pregnancy and to be honest it was something I was most excited about when I started my pregnancy journey.. before I was even pregnant.  I have never been super active during any of the pregnancies (nothing more than just walking and low impact stuff) and after doing bootcamp for several months prior to getting pregnant,  I had a great base to keep going- and I plan to until my body just cant do it any more. my belly is already feeling really heavy and I cant lay or sit certain ways, but I just have to listen to my body and do what I can.

the biggest component to my exercise routine is FOOD. food is SO not fun for me right now, and I generally love food- but now more than ever I need to make sure I am fueling my body with the nutrients it needs both pre-workout and recovery.  early in my pregnancy I was getting really lightheaded any time I tried to run or do the normal workout movements and while this is common for me in my first trimester regardless of working out or not, it was definitely attributed to my food intake on how easily I could recover and keep up with my workout. 

 many people start their early morning workout food-free- and I was totally one of them!  this is a problem because when you sleep at night your body burns through your dinner and night-time snack.  by morning your body needs nutrition to jumpstart metabolism, replace some of the carbohydrate stores used up over night and give your body energy for a workout.  there is myth that you burn all fat, like the fat off the back of your leg, if you workout on an empty stomach.  False.  you burn thought stored carbohydrate in your muscles, a little fat from inside your muscle and likely protein, which is never good.  the idea is to eat a little something carbohydrate rich before a workout.  it will help you feel better and have more energy.  for cardio based workouts an hour or less something like a whole grain granola bar, banana, some dry cereal or even part of a protein bar will work with water.  for me, bootcamp lasts about an hour or a little longer- so if you are working out for longer than an hour or going to be doing something more intense like lifting weights, cross fit or boot camp, I would recommend a little protein in addition to the carbohydrate.

peanut butter + banana 
granola bar
180-200 calorie protein bar
  
if not, your blood sugar can drop leaving you feeling weak, dizzy and light-headed.
all those things I am already feeling while pregnant and now I want to make my body move and be active on top of that!?  if you workout in the afternoon, it is a little easier because you have time to let food digest.  ideally have some whole grain carbs, some protein and veggies at lunch.  then mid-afternoon, an hour or so before your workout, sit for a carbohydrate-protein snack such as:

​​whole grain crackers + string cheese

apple/banana + peanut butter

greek yogurt with whole grain cereal or fruit

hummus + whole grain pita chips

1/2 of a turkey + 2% cheese sandwich on whole grain bread

180-200 calorie protein bar

be sure to pair your pre-workout snack wth 12-16 oz water.  

if you take a longer time to digest things, then maybe eat your snack 1.5 hours before the workout.

mornings are best for me to workout- getting it out of the way first thing.. because if I don't I will have every reason to all myself out of it the rest of the day.

another big thing for me is finding maternity style and comfortable workout clothing to wear.  the weather is changing, so I've been wearing long pants and sweatshirts in the morning at 5am when its still in the low 50's.  I was excited when I got the opportunity to try albion fit on for size. I have seen them all over instagram on my favorite feeds.. I even had someone recognize the logo on my pants while out at bootcamp recently.  there is something to say about that! NOT to mention, they are the most comfortable joggers I think I have ever owned.  does anyone know what I'm talking about with certain styles of jogger pants that just cut into your side?  they fit well everywhere else, but the waist makes you want to suck in the entire time you are wearing them!  

not these.  

very comfortable + adjustable waistband- I sized up in anticipation for growing with this pregnancy and probably didn't have to.  they are 100% true to size. while they are a splurge on lounge clothes, I know- I have spent $50+ on joggers from my favorite online boutiques and those don't even come close to albion fit >> totally my personal opinion from personal experience:)

my favorite post workout breakfast:

greek yogurt (protein) + berries (carbohydrate) + granola (carbohydrate and a little fat)

its Jolie's favorite, too.

not Parker (clearly).  the pickiest eater on the planet.

over greek yogurt and fruit.  silly girl!

OH.. and they have their own line for the kids!  the big girls thought it to be SO fun that we were matching.

I'm so excited for the opportunity to offer one lucky winner $50 shop credit towards anything they wish from albion fit!  I know I'm not the only mama out there that could use $50 to kick their workout (or lounge) gear into shape- not to mention that cooler weather wardrobe for themselves and their babe(s)!  even better, albion fit is offering a generous discount of 15% off your entire purchase using the code: masseya

I'll totally be using my own discount code to get a couple of these amazing sports bras + probably this hoodie. 
probably.

GO!  fall is here!! but don't forget to enter the giveaway!

five on friday

one. fair days
I made an impromptu trip to the fair this week- no kids.  no husband.  just me and the cotton candy.
and corn dogs.
..annnd lemonade.
Brittany asked me to tag along to a photoshoot she had planned at the Texas State Fair because last minute her family couldn't make the trip- so of course I said yes! I haven't been to the fair in about 12 years- which is like blasphemy here in Dallas, but Jordan isn't a HUGE fan, but omg I was like a giant kid in this candy store.  completely fascinated by everything and I just had the best time- even if I was just tagging along.

OF course you can find me eating.

you can get my amazing sweater tunic (super lightweight) here and maternity (!) moto leggings here

two. birthday shopping
my sister in law and I are exactly one month apart in our birthdays.. we've celebrated 17 years of birthdays together (she came looooong before the hubby) and spent the majority of our high school years connected at the hip.  Bree (her mama) and Bree's bestie Teresa, who is basically like a second mother to me, wanted to treat Jenna and myself with shopping + lunch for our birthdays so we planned for a day when Jenna didn't have school (fair day!!) which happened to be this last Wednesday.  we spent the day at northpark and had lunch at maggianos- and let me tell you.. it was SO good for my soul.  I just had the BEST day and I was sad to see it come to an end.  

three. preggo style

sooooo many of ya'll loved my plaid tunic!  I LOVE it- and I snagged this amazing item during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and was so excited to finally wear it.  it is such a unique item in my closet and while I own about eleven duster cardigans I don't have anything remotely close to this!  I will say, this is LONG- I am relatively tall at just about 5'7" and it comes to my ankles when wearing 3in booties.  unfortunately, I cant find this tunic anywhere but I did come across a couple other options similar to it!

PLUS- my other favorite pair of motherhood maternity jeans, this time in a medium wash and I love the distressed denim look.  I can totally still be fashionable AND pregnant, you know:)  I also linked a couple other items I picked up this week that are NOT maternity but still fit my belly relatively well right now.
four. halloween jammies (!!)

October first rolled itself around (finally!!) which means it is 100% appropriate to be wearing halloween jammies every single night of the month.  OK- so we dont have that many pairs, but thank goodness for the 15 minute quick wash option on my washing matching.. amen??

it is no secret that I love jammies in general, and so when the festive wear starts to hit the shelves between now and Christmas I just cannot help myself.

AND- these sass pant little girls. wear their boots and their pajamas.

starting trends.

lets hope this one doesn't catch on.

just a few of my favorite halloween holiday jams!

five. forts
Jordan made the twins this giant fort in the kitchen covering the kitchen table- complete with a lamp and all the comfortable bedding you can think of.  these two stayed in that fort seriously for HOURS.  I swear they didn't come up for air from noon until 4pm.  they ate lunch and a snack in there and watched movies and youtube kids, and no body minded.  Baker had the playroom to herself.. so it was like managed silence in our house for that time.  I didn't even know what to do with myself!  we needed an evening walk after they laid around all day- but how fun is their dad for building this?!  the weather is rainy here today.. so maybe we will have some more fort building.

its FRI-YAY!!!

15(ish) weeks | first trimester update

I cant believe that time is flying! I have felt like the last month of life has been insane and busy and is just whipping right past me in a short blink.  I found out so early about this pregnancy and keeping it quiet had me so anxious to share and life felt like it was dragging on and on, and here I am in my second trimester- holy moly!  

I've been feeling great- except that I basically sleep on my face at night. I can 100% sleep anywhere I lay my head down and take naps about once a day.  over the weekend I didn't get in a nap everyday and I literally needed a day to recover- my life is busy and my kids are crazy and I'm getting old:)

and we are adding another one to the mix..

I CANNOT WAIT!

mama things

from week 7-14 I was nauseous just about every evening. I didn't really eat dinner for those 7 weeks and was ready for bed when I was putting all my girls down by 8pm.  the nausea has since past, but the food aversions have not. I've been having those much more than I ever had with any other pregnancies and food is completely disinteresting to me all together.  even my favorite peanut butter and banana toast has lost its magical touch at breakfast (and lunch and dinner) and I am totally grossed out by every component of a banana.  the idea of putting them on my toast gives me the heebee-geebees, so I have to skip them. other things.. migraines.  I've had four since I've been pregnant with this little guy and I can count on one hand how many I've had in my entire life!  the smallest things seem to trigger it, but lots of water, taking a couple tylenol when needed, and a nap usually gets me back into the swing of the day- usually in a fog, but c'est la vie.

I'm in full maternity wear- my belly is measuring almost 2 weeks larger than I actually should be.. I was at my regular OB check up at a little more than 14.5 weeks and my belly was measuring over 16 weeks.  my doctor giggled a little, but after the giant belly I held with Baker, she's not super surprised, and neither am I.  ever heard of muscle memory? I feel like my uterus can relate.  of course my belly is huge in the evening- and in the morning I would say its probably normal size for almost 16 weeks (I'll be 16 weeks on Sunday), but I am not complaining.  I've found easy ways to stay comfortable this time around- with a 14 month old + two 3 year olds I need to be able to bend to scrape pop tart or dried mac and cheese off the kitchen floor (this is why we have a dog!!) and get down to their level and move around relatively easy with my growing bump.  I have these exact jeans by jessica simpson in the under the belly option and wore them out during my other pregnancies- these jeans  from motherhood maternity are the over the belly version and I love them just as much!  no to mention they are butter soft and not super heavy in weight so wearing them while the weather is changing here in Texas has been awesome. 

I'm still working out 3-4 mornings out of the week.  bootcamp is still okay for me to do, but at my last appointment my OB gave me a laundry list of things I had to change since generally these workouts are pretty high intensity.  thankfully my trainers have been amazing and are helping me through making adjustments and giving me alternative success options while the rest of the group does their normal thing.  

baby things

we've had a couple of sonograms of our growing boy and he's just perfect.  such a sweet little profile and CHEEKS that resemble his sisters before him so much!  I feel like he looks a lot like Parker in these early sonograms- but we shall see, we have a lot of time left (??) for him to grow!  I am feeling him move here and there but not consistently at all.. mostly in the evenings and definitely after I've had something sweet like yogurt or fruit.  which by the way, I cannot seem to get enough of!  we go back for our anatomy screen in a couple weeks (18 weeks) to get a full look at this guy and seeing how big he's grown and hopefully get a better look at made how big he might be! 

I have relatively smaller babies (4lbs 8oz; 5lbs 15oz; 6lbs 7oz), but this boy might put a kink in that track record.. my brothers were all on the big side (9+ pounds) and my mother, in all her 5'3 and 90 pound frame might, pushed out every single one of them- all three now 6'4 or taller.

plus, my dad is just short of a giant.

not to mention my baby daddy ain't small either.

 I'll be honest and say that when I was pregnant with Baker I was terrified of the idea of having a boy.  but this time around I didn't even care. of course the girl option was the easy route.  I knew exactly what I was doing with a fourth girl in mind.. but ever since I found out this baby is a HE I cannot get enough of thinking and praying and preparing to be a boy mom.  something I honestly never thought I would get the chance to be.  the most exciting news of my LIFE was when that balloon exploded in blue. 

grow baby boy, grow.

also.  we still don't have a name:)
