I used to have a different blog during high school and early college that I mostly reserved for random musings and all my little anecdotes and deep thoughts. :) Although I totally love where Just Bee is at right now, sometimes I find myself wanting to just dump it all out on a virtual page here. So, that's where today's post is coming from. ;) Thoughts on Baby Girl's Due Date With today being baby girl's due date, I'm feeling more antsy, nervous, excited, and geared up than ever before. It's … [Read more...]
Kidizen: My New Favorite App (+ $5 for you!)
Thank you, Kidizen, for sponsoring this post! (As always, I only share products/companies I truly love! For instance, I loved Kidizen before this collaboration came about!) If you've read my past posts about sites like ThredUp, then you know my excitement level regarding secondhand clothing! In the past, I never wanted items that were considered "used," which sounds so silly to me now. If something has been gently used or worn before you, and is washed and clean (and it's your size!), then … [Read more...]
Week 37-38 Bumpdate
Could this be the last pregnancy update for our baby girl?? Maybe!! :) Week 37-38 Bumpdate: How far along: 37 and 38 weeks (I am 39 weeks along today!) There is only ONE week left - baby girl could arrive anytime, because her due date is already NEXT WEEK!! Now that is surreal! ** My doctor will be out of town or unavailable on different days coming up soon...would you please pray that if at all possible, baby comes when our doctor is available?? Size of the baby: My Ovia pregnancy … [Read more...]
Week 35-36 Bumpdate
Although time is definitely going by quickly, these weeks are feeling longer than before...especially since we're nearing the end of pregnancy! Here's the most recent bumpdate! Week 35-36 Bumpdate: How far along: 35 and 36 weeks (I am 37 weeks along today!) – there are only about 3 weeks left!!! It's crazy to think she could technically come at any time now!!

How I Prepped Crockpot Freezer Meals Before Baby (+ recipes!)
This week on my Instagram stories, I've been sharing a lot of behind-the-scenes peeks at my meal prep. I've been working hard on getting some meals ready and in the freezer for when our baby comes! She'll be here in 3-ish weeks, which means it's really crunch time! :) When I asked you on Instagram if you'd like to see a blog post about all of this crockpot freezer meal prep, I got a ton of positive responses! So, here's the post! I'll be sharing my whole prep process, from start to finish, AND … [Read more...]
Fighting Fear in Pregnancy After Miscarriage
Today's post has been a difficult one to write. It has taken about a year for me to get more comfortable with sharing this part of my story. While miscarriage will never be an easy topic to write or talk about, I believe there is power and comfort to be found in sharing our personal experiences. Even though we all have different stories, my wish is that me sharing my story can offer you some encouragement and hope in your own journey. I mentioned our November 2016 miscarriage in a recent … [Read more...]
Our Maternity Photos
At the end of August, Bjorn and I did a mini session with Kaitlyn C Photography in the Twin Cities. I am so, so glad we went ahead and got maternity photos done! It almost didn't happen, not only because of iffy weather that evening, but also because of Bjorn's busy schedule! It's difficult working around all he's involved in (though I'm very proud of all he does!). I've realized that scheduling things for just myself is super easy compared to working around my husband's … [Read more...]
Week 33-34 Bumpdate
The past 2 weeks since our last pregnancy update have flown by faster than ever! Here's the most recent bumpdate!
