Awkward:
- Can I just generalize and put "my body" here? The non-sleeping, the walking, the bending over, the breathing, the cramping, the tummy itching, the contracting, the ... other stuff, the creaking, the shaving {or lack thereof}. Shall I go on? No. You're all done? Me too.
- Becoming so relaxed during a hypnobirthing session that I completely lost all self awareness and full on open-mouth drooled. Sprawled out on the couch, huge belly and all ... it was a flattering moment, let me tell you.
- Aaaaand. That's all the awkwards I remember. Thanks brain. You're really killin' it right now.
Awesome:
- The fastest trip to the salon I've ever had - an hour in and out. Plus it was 25 bucks. I've never been a good coupon clipper. But Groupons ... Groupons I can do.
- My habitually long evening showers. There is nothing more blissful right now than hot water pouring over my neck and back every night. Probably not so blissful? Our water bill.
- Waking up to rain, an open window, a dim room and a husband who's not motivated to get out of bed just yet {which never happens}. Oh, the cozy.
- The gigantic rainbow colored bruise on Tys's calf from a football injury. His awesome. Not mine.
- Looking forward to a wonderful weekend out of town with my mom and sisters ... while Tys stays here and sets up the nursery
- Getting to slip on a new pair of heels for a minute- even if it's just to sit and work. Makes me feel like my old self again.
- Going over to a girlfriend's house for the evening while our husbands work late. Bonus: she cooked dinner AND gave me some extras to take home for Tys. I realize that this probably makes me look like the most pathetic wife, but hey ... I guess I'll claim that title right now. In a few weeks, maybe I'll be as awesome as you Lauren ;)

LOVE that outfit! You are simply radiant and you always know how to make me laugh on Thursdays.

well arent you just the cutest pregnant woman i've ever seen...
http://talesfromkyle.blogspot.com/
This photo of you?
Completely lovely.
You're glowing! Seriously, I don't know how you have the motivation to look so adorable and cute when preggo! I lounged in sweats and tank tops and just looked frumpy.
Pamela @ pbjstories.blogspot.com
despite the preggers awkwardness you look lovely =) your little awkward and awesomes always make me laugh out loud!
I love your pregnancy "awkwards", they definitely bring up pregger memories for me. :)
You look fabulous {as always} by the way :)
Your look today is so gorgeous. A combo between the messy hair, idyllic makeup, and simple but appropriate outfit.
Yay I am so glad that you did an Akward/Awesome, they are always so entertaining. And you look great!! I love your hair, did you go lighter??

Wow I like your new...or changed hair. My sister fell asleep when she was baby sitting once and when the mother woke her up there was a huge puddle of drool on their light grey suede couch. ha ha this is reminiscent of that.
you are totally awesome no matter what else you do besides growing a human inside your belly! that will suffice on the awesome wife front for awhile I'm sure : )
Gee pregnancy sounds glamorous.. haha but you still look that way in the pics!
OH MY GOSH SYD. you look gorgeous. like absolutely beautiful. your hair looks AWESOME. and I CANNOT WAIT for your little E to pop on out! hurry up, lil man!
you are the most adorable pregnant woman! love the simple outfit..
You look so pretty!
Gorgeous as always! It's like you glow a little more each time.
PS. Groupon is addicting. Careful ;)

long showers are the best! I'm grateful I don't have to pay for water in my apartments. Just gas. So hot showers love to crank up that gas bill. worth it!
Lovely Little Rants
your hair never looks the same length or the same color
so cute! love your blog and this weekly post!

You look great Sydney! Glad to hear that things are going well for you on the other side of the country! Cute bookshelf too...you should photograph your home. I bet it's adorable! I'ved tried to do that every time we get settled...they are good memories too for when you move on. ;) xoxo
I am so excited for you...just can't wait for your baby to arrive! You look absolutely darling pregnant by the way...I just hope I look half as adorable!

You're nearly there Sydney! :) Love the colour of your sweater x
How is your hair different? The color?
nice job with the hypnobirthing! is there an online class you take?
Awesome is your outfit and that necklace! Also awesome is how good you look with your cute preggo belly!!!
Awkward: random stranger commenting on your belly...
the pregnancy awkwards always make me laugh. still looking fabulous, mama!
Love the look of the books on the wire rack... I have the same one (wire rack, that is), and NO idea what to do with it. Now I know!
Those shoes are rockin'. I think I would topple over if I was wearing them while pregnant, but you work it!
your blog? amazing. your outfits? amazing. your photos? amazing. your posts? oh. don't get me started i like them. a lot.
I love the cozy-in-bed-with-a-boy-doesn't-normally-do-that feeling, it's top 5 for me :) Glad your awesome list outnumbers your awkward list!
You look gorgeous as always! Groupons? My sisters and I are all addicted! Sounds like you have a great weekend planned! I played along with A&A today too if you want to check it out. :)

YOU LOOK AMAZING! I wish I was that cute pregnant either time! lol
Love your outfit!

You are the cutest prego! And taking leftovers home to your hubby doesn't make you a bad wife! At least you were thinking of him! lol
Hey! I want a friend to cook for me and give me extra to bring home for Anj. Oh wait, I'm not preggers and have no legitimate excuse to get that treatment. But, it is fun to go over to a girlfriend's house while hubs is otherwise occupied. Never get too old for fun with girlfriends. :)
your gorgeous! love these thursday posts.
you look stunning
http://urbanprettygirl.blogspot.com/
I love your outfit! You look soo great!!
Your tummy is just the cutest! (The rest of you too, of course.)
I love Groupons! They make me spend more than I might otherwise, but then I get to feel like I'm treating myself when I actually don't have any free cash for spending.
Hang in there, pretty lady. Your babe will be here sooner than you know it.
My favorite part is the belly sticking out in the last picture. :) So cute!
You are simply stunning! And your second awkward happening made me laugh hysterically!
seriously. i hope i can pull of pregnancy the way you are. so cute! love that necklace!
write up your ali
WHY do have to to look so damn gorgeous when pregnant?! I swear, I don't think i've ever seen someone look this amazing while pregnant! haha :) Oh and you must show pictures of the nursery when it's done!

I like your honesty!!!! Enjoy your day!! XO!
Love your hair blonde. You are sure a cute prego too! I was doing some creepin' and in one of your old posts forever ago you said something like "this picture is from when I was blonde, don't worry it won't happen ever again" or something like that. HAHAHA Well I am glad you did it's flattering on you!
oh my gosh, you are simply glowing. of course, the sunlight seeping through the window also adds to the dramatic affect. you also just look so much older. like a momma now...but a hot momma! so beautiful!

I LOVE LOVE this outfit. I want to copy it somehow (hopefully I have something similar in my closet). I have especially loved following your blog lately... it's been really hard for me to dress my pregnant body this time around, but your outfits are always so cute.
i hope i look as chic as you do when im prego!!! love the hair!!
But you will look back on every minute with a smile (ok almost every one) And putting on the shoes to feel yourself is a wonderful idea! Have to do it now and then.

Your hair + that pale pink + those spicy heels = so pretty. How doooo you do it? :) Xo, Katie
Yay for having more awesome things than awkward ones!
You are the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen. You always look so great!

Just discovered your blog :) Super cute. After stalking (ahem, reading) some older posts, I went out today and bought that Maybelline mousse cheek color... HEAVEN. Can't wait to see pictures of the little boy
You are in the homestretch, hang in there ;) I have an 18 month old and still get a little teary eyed when I think back to his birth. Time flies. http://obsessivision.com/

I wanted you to know that I was a faithful reader until like May? I don't know. Life happened, the computer and I grew apart, and then the semester started, and everyone knows how that goes. But I had a free moment, and I checked out my blogger feed for news. I saw a thumbnail from one of your posts and thought, "Sydney! I haven't seen something fabulous in a while!"
So naturally, I followed the link. Did you know that you're pregnant? Because this kid just found out...Congratulations! :)
i cannot wait to see this little one.
you are glowing, love.
oh.ma.gosh. your hairs look so fabulous! that little chunk baby has a good looking momma!!!!
Since a few weeks I'm following your lovely blog and I'm ALWAYS loving your outfits! I wish I could take a peek into your closet:) How often do buy new clothes? Do you spent a lot? I'm so into leopard print shoes right now! You look radiant! Lots of greetings from Germany, xoxo!

Awkward: looking at all of your old outfits and posts for a ridiculously long time. not creepy, just awkward.
Awesome: realizing we grew up in the same town of little old Clemmons!
I'd say my awkward is also an awesome, too.
I remember those times with a belly so big bending over means falling on your knees and getting out of bed seems like an exercize. It had it's charm (I mostly decided to just laugh about it, that was better than feeling frustrated) ;-)
But you look lovely. Have a wonderful trip!
ohh your hair is looking FABulous! Groupon is the best.

You look amaaaaaaaaaazing, girl. Gosh darn I hope I look half as you when I've got a big prego tummy :)

You are the cutest!!! Cant wait to see the nursery....happy Friday!!

You look beyond amazing! My dream, to be as cute as you when I am pregnant. I love your new blonde do, I liked your natural color a lot too, you can rock both :)

http://sariasoy.blogspot.com/
absolutely love that first photo. so beautiful! :)
You are more stylish being pregnant than I could ever hope to be not pregnant! When I was pregnant I wore big unflattering clothes. Not great for the self esteem. You are give me some much needed inspiration! You go girl!!!!
you look so lovely Sydney, you truly do!!!!
lovin the new hair dooo
So you look gorgeous.
Though I'm not pregnant, I have started to really appreciate that importance of a long, hot shower on my stress levels. Cheers to that!
You're probably one of the most gorgeous mamas-to-be that I've every seen! And a very stylish one at that. I love your Awkwardly Awesome series; waking up to a cool rain is one of the best things ever... well maybe not on a work day LOL.
You look adorable!!!! Love every moment that you have right now! You will be wanting to push your baby back in, in about 2 weeks! haha
im so excited to see your baby!
im so excited to see your baby!
Your hair looks great! Are you seriously still rocking high heels? I had to give them up once belly got to be a certain largeness. Plus the pregnant clumsiness does more damage when it's paired with heels. And even now heels make my back ache later in the day... FYI my son is just in his diaper right now. He had trouble getting off his sleeper pajamas (don't know why he suddenly wanted them off) so I helped him out. :) Yes, we're getting dressed soon... Anyway, I saw your mom wrote that you're 4cm!! That's great!!! I hope everything goes well! Love you! :)
You look fantastic! I see you're starting to have contractions... hope Baby comes soon!
please please please let me know how you get on with your hypno-birth. i've been looking into doing a course myself and would love some real-life insight. and by the sounds of it, you're about to give it the full-blow test.
hope everything goes wonderfully and you're at home with your wee boy very very soon.
You are just glowing! So beautiful. Good luck with everything.
ohhh, goodness. i want to look like you do when i'm preggo because GIRL! you are rockin' that belly. :)
this is such an adorable post! congrats on the pregnancy..i just stumbled across your blog (and i'm following)
love the shoes as well!
