With just a few days to go until we’re 17 weeks, I thought I’d share a quick impromptu bumpie. Still not recognizably pregnant with all my layers on but the baby is definitely growing!
16.5 Weeks.
With all the reading about pregnancy I’ve been doing, I’m feeling incredibly lucky to be feeling as well as I do. My energy is good, I feel healthy and mobile, and looking forward to the weeks ahead.
In case you missed it, the New Republic published this fantastic piece yesterday on the state of pregnancy leave in America. Did you know companies aren’t required to pay for a single day of leave after a woman gives birth? I was shocked to read this. In Holland women receive 16 weeks paid leave, so let’s do something to make that a reality in our country. It’s time we take care of working women. (If I do say so myself 🙂 )
Meagan & Jimmy 
I vote yes on more leave!

Oh my gosh! Mom JUST told me. She said, “You should see Meagan’s blog. It’s super cute.” And I’m all, “I didn’t know she had a blog. Cool. She and Jimmy are so cute together. I hope they get married.” And mom goes, “Maybe they will.” And then the blog came up and I went nuts. So happy for you both. What a blessing. Let me know if there is absolutely anything I can do. So much love to the both of you and the baby. ☺️💖

Thanks so much Dana! So good to hear from you and thank you for the kind words about Jimmy and I. I will most certainly be calling on you for advice and I hope to see you both at the shower in April! xox

I am completely amazed that – for as progressive a country as the US is and can be – we remain SO behind the eight ball on maternity leave… le sigh. Anyway, you look adorable as ever!
