Hi! I'm Caitlin, wife of James and mama of Maxwell. I am a proud USCG wife, former ballerina, photographer, and retail manager. Being a working mom isn't easy, and this blog gets {seriously} neglected now and then {most of the time}, but I keep up with it when I can.

13 Weeks: Last week of first trimester!

Sorry this is late!  I've been plagued with heartburn all day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a great day.  We're spending the day with some members of our Coast Guard family!   My goal for next Thanksgiving is to learn to cook better so that I can start deciding what recipes to pass down to my children.  Not that my family didn't, I just never really took to cooking.  So I feel like I should at least attempt to learn how to cook for the baby!

Baby Nichols 12 Weeks


We have decided not to announce the pregnancy quite yet on facebook and whatnot.  Originally, we were going to today, but since we get the results from our tests today (for Downs Syndrome & Spina Bifida) in 8-10 days, we're just going to wait until then.

Update on the dress issue.

I went ahead and rented this one for the Christmas party.  Hopefully it will look as cute on me as it looks on the model =)

Dilemma

My plan for this year's Christmas party for the Air Station, was to wear a holiday dress that I've had for a while that I haven't had a chance to wear yet.  The problem is that I remembered it being more empire waisted than it is!  It is SO not going to work, not to mention the fact that I can't even zip it past my boobs at this point.  So I tried on all of my cocktail dresses and any other dress that was remotely dressy enough....and nothing really fits my boobs.  So if anyone stumbles upon a cute, empire waisted holiday dress (preferably under $100), send me a link!
