I’m not gonna lie… I am really glad this tunic still fits me. It’s one of my favorites and I really hope it lasts me throughout this pregnancy. I always feel so snazzy when I wear it.

I’m not gonna lie… I really wish I felt more confident whilst pregnant. Don’t get me wrong, I do a good job of “faking it,” but if I’m being honest, I feel fat, I feel uncomfortable, I don’t feel beautiful, and I am feeling a ton of anxiety. Please don’t get me wrong, not once, not even for a second, have I taken this pregnancy for granted. I praise and thank the Lord every single day for this precious life growing inside me, but the truth is I’m anxious. And I I just have so many feelings of uncertainty. Will I be a good mom? Can I do this? Will I be a good wife AND mother? Will I be able to help support my family? Will we be able to make it all work financially? Logistically? The list goes on. I’m just being real.

I’m not gonna lie… if I could, I would nap three times a day. Maybe more. I love naps. Why did I not take advantage of them when I was in kindergarten?

I’m not gonna lie… I think my husband is the sexiest man to ever walk the planet. And sometimes, I truly wonder what he sees in me. I feel like I totally out-kicked my coverage.  *cue gushy face*

I’m not gonna lie… there are some nights when all I really want to eat for dinner is a bowl of strawberry ice cream. And there are some mornings where all I want to eat for breakfast is a bowl of strawberry ice cream.

I’m not gonna lie… I really wish I was a better interior decorator. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not terrible by any means, but some people just have a knack for room design that I just don’t have.

I’m not gonna lie… I feel pretty guilty for doing all this complaining here in this post.

I’m not gonna lie… even though I’m far from perfect and my life is far from perfect, I still wake up every morning and go to sleep every night feeling so unbelievably blessed that I just can’t help but smile. The Lord has been so good to me and I am so grateful for all that He has done in my life – and I love the anticipation of what He has YET to do.

What are YOU not gonna lie about?
