Hello, friends!  Here's a little bit about life right now:

What are you wearing?

Maternity leggings plus anything in my closet that will still fit me.

Wearing-wm
The good news is that I've always liked flowy clothing and empire waists, so I have a surprising amount of non-maternity tops that work for maternity!

On a side note, this pregnancy has brought about a surprising body image depression.  Considering the fact that I was much heavier in my 20s than I am now, nine months pregnant, you'd think I'd be fine with the weight gain and the body changes.  But it has been a real struggle.  I work every day to maintain a positive attitude about it and I have a wonderful mother and partner who are always encouraging, but the changes are tough to take.

What have you bought?

I just bought a bath mat from my own Society 6 Shop

Bathmat
…to match the rug I already put in the bathroom.  The design is based on this table I painted a few years ago:

What are you reading?

I have a book on baby sign language that I'm starting, but mostly I've been listening to podcasts.  Current faves are: Only a Game, Stuff You Should Know, and the Dragnet podcast.

Current art crush?

Sarah Shoot or sarahshootmixed on instagram.  She's a jewelry artist with a very funky and colorful style.  I love that she sells mixed pairs of earrings (i.e. both earrings are not the same).  Check out her work:

In case anyone is wondering what to get me — or themselves — for Christmas, I'll leave a link to her etsy shop page.  ;) 

So, there you have it!  That's the scoop on life around here at the moment. 

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I could just tell by your face on the photo that you were not happy with your reflection in the mirror. Just remember that the weight is necessary to protect the baby. It will take some work but you can get your body back in time. Focus on the fact that you are able to carry a live little miracle that incubated all this time. As Louise Hay would encourage, practice looking at yourself in the mirror in the eyes and saying “I love you”. Fake it until you make it.It is wonderful that your partner and Mom are supportive.

  • Do not get too discouraged. With my second baby, my body retained a huge amount of water, so I could only (by the end) wear one pair of sneakers without laces and one pair of sandals latched on the last loop. Sometimes we use the water weight as an excuse for gain but it is a real thing. And the water retention comes off fairly quickly. The good news is if you nurse your little one, that can also help with dropping pounds. Blessings on the new way of life you are about to embark upon. Have been following you for a long time now and appreciate how productive you have continued to be during this time. Thanks for allowing us to come alongside your life and be reminded of precious times on our own lives and work.

  • Julie, I agree with all the previous comments. This body is temporary once you have your beautiful baby boy you’ll get back to your healthy eating regimen and you’ll get your pre-baby body back. So hang in there. I listened to your latest podcast episode and was pleasantly surprised to hear that your brother and his girlfriend just recently had a baby too. I imagine Eileen is over the moon to get two grandkids in one year. Congrats to your family and Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Oh honey sending you a hug. Weight gain is such a hard thing to handle, but right now you are doing the most important thing you will ever do in your life and that is keeping your baby safe and warm. Having suffered all my life with weight yo yo’s I was determined not to pass on my hang ups onto my kids, so try hard to not do the same to your little buba. Time enough to worry about your weight later after your important job is finished. But to me you look wonderful. Fresh, healthy eating and walking as a family afterwards will help you all mentally and physically. But please don’t beat yourself up. My father spent a life time of dieting, as he was dying, he said to me, what a waste of life all that terrible dieting was, I should of been fat and happy. Sadly it isn’t that simple, but hopefully there is a middle ground for us both and I just don’t look in the mirror anymore Lol. Take heart love, to me you look amazing and your art work is stunning xx

  • Julie you look wonderful. Baby weight is natural. I gained 60lbs with my 2nd pregnancy. It took 2 years to lose it, averaging a 2-3lb loss a month, but I didn’t let it bother me one little bit. You’ll soon have a beautiful baby and it will be 100% worth it.

  • You have lost a lot of weight before and you can do it again. I know it can be a little depressing to lose weight and then, for whatever reason, you put some back on. However, the prize you earn at the end of this journey is going to be well worth that effort. You are a wonderful, creative and strong woman who can make things happen. Celebrate this time of creating a new life and don’t dwell on what you will need to do later. I showed my husband your picture and he said “wow, she really looks great.” He admires what women have to go through to have children and thinks we all look like goddesses with our shape changes. You might be surprised as to how other people really view the current you so enjoy your finest creation yet and relax.

  • Sending you a warm California hug. You look beautiful! Remember that you are not just carrying the little man, but all of his life support systems now. I claim that the physics of childbirth rivals a space launch. It won’t be long now. Happy Thanksgiving. JC

  • I was able to avoid the body image depression by reframing, and thinking of myself as, I guess, The Mother Ship. short term goal: make a healthy baby.
    after I gave birth, it helped me to track my food (generally not specifically) and baby’s intake and nursing schedule.
    then I could set tiny goals for myself such as twix bar mini after nursing, going from 2 to 1 to none over the first few weeks.
    I’m wishing you well Julie and I really appreciate how open and honest you are about this and everything.
