It’s Friday and boy am I ready for a relaxing weekend. Today I am “confessing” with Leslie from A Blonde Ambition. So lets just get right too it shall we.
1. I confess that Zulily is quickly becoming a “cuss” word to my husband. Why yes honey, Olivia DOES need another blush pink outfit. 😉
2. I confess I have been a terrible “style” blogger this week. I have outfits ready to photograph, but this week I just didn’t have the energy. I have almost accepted the fact that I just cant do everything these days.
3. I confess that I am DYING to know what my pregnant little sister is having! Boy or Girl, Baby Davis and Olivia Mae will be best of friends (when then are not pulling each others hair).
4. I confess that breast feeding kinda scares the living daylights out of me. I am ready to take it on, but I know you can never be fully prepared for everything. Accepting all pointers and tips!
5. I confess that I am so happy that Fall officially begins on Sunday, even though I have been dressing like fall all week long.
Love your confessions, and I was so scared of breastfeeding too … but it ended up being the best, most rewarding experience ever!
My Waverly MAYE has SO much from Zulily, best site ever! 🙂

I too was scared to death of breast feeding but a friend of mine told me to give it 4 weeks before I give up and I'm so glad I listened to her! It is the most rewarding experience ever (like Ashley said above!). And if it doesn't work for you, its OK! Do what's best for you and your babe 🙂
Zulily is dangerous!!! And I wrote a ton about breastfeeding on my blog and have a weekly series where mom's share their experience….hope it helps!
I didn't realize your little sister was expecting as well…CONGRATS!
I got my Sirra Mara necklace in yesterday. 🙂 Thanks again for the giveaway!
The lactation consultants in the hospital are so great! Request, beg, plead and make sure you see them everyday or even every couple hours in the hospital.
And even after you go home, you can call and see them if there are questions or problems later.
I saw the lactation consultant daily after the birth of my fourth child, even though I successfully (in my terms) breastfed the previous three.
Relax. Get a massage (seriously, see if you can schedule a massage therapist to come see you IN THE HOSPITAL after you've had the baby! Best idea I've ever had. It's heavenly!)
The baby is not going to starve even though they act like are in the hospital. The more relaxed you are the easier it is for your body to produce milk faster.
Good luck! It's one of the best experiences of your life. Having a child changes you forever. I can't wait to see how stylish she is!
Zulilly has gotten too much of my money in the past 2 months, too!! Baby G is going to have tons of swag from there. Good thing I had a $20 credit.
Can you post a photo of the week at a glance in the planner? Or you can email a photo to me personally too. I like to see how much space there is to write. Thanks!

I too had a complete spaz out about food (naan bread) when I was pregnant. My husband and I still joke about it to this day (my daughter is 3 and 1/2)
Breast feeding is no joke! I'm soooo glad I stuck with it. The first 4 weeks were tough but eventually we got the hang of it. I nursed for a full year and it was glorious!
With breast feeding, give it your best shot but do what is best for you and your baby! Feeding with love, wether breast or bottle, is the most important thing! I tried for several months and my milk never fully came in and I was devastated because i had to supplement with formula. Looking back, I wish I'd had a different perspective! In retrospect, it wasn't a big deal and the time goes so fast – don't lose any joy over the small stuff! Enjoy every minute!
i tried to buy the planner last year after you posted about it but she was sold out already. i bought it this year and almost can't wait 3 months to use it! thanks for sharing.
