Carly Kozak: April 2016

I can't believe we've only been married for two years. It feels so much longer. When you marry your best friend it feels like you've known them your whole life. I remember when we first started dating, 4.5 years ago. We were so little. I thought I knew what love was. I could not have possibly imagined how much more I'd grow to love you. How much you'd help progress and become the woman I am today. You've gone from my friend, to my boyfriend, to my fiance, to my husband, and soon you'll be a daddy. You support me in every aspect of my life, always encouraging me. I feel like I can be anyone I want and accomplish anything I want with you by my side. I thank God every day for allowing you to be in my life. I'm so incredibly happy with you. I feel like something in my life has to go wrong. How am I allowed to be this happy? This in love? I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to God and to you for choosing me to spend your life with. I can't imagine life with anyone else. Marriage with you is laughter, hugs, complete honesty, vulnerability, more laughter, and inside jokes that only we will ever get. The way people put down marriage makes me sad, because I wish they knew how amazing marriage can be. How happy it can make you to know you have someone who will love and support you no matter what. You have given that precious gift to me Taylor. Thank you for everything. I truly picked the best man to spend forever with. I love you always.

xoxo, Mrs. Kozak

How Far Along? 28 weeks

Weight Gain: 19 lbs!

Must haves: Apples. Palmer's lotion. Water. Comfortable clothes. Naps. Clean house. Walks. Painted nails. Sandals.

Sleep: I'm finally starting to get some sleep. I've learned hugging a pillow helps so much! I pass out instantly. Naps are still a thing that happen almost every day.

Challenges this week: Feeling comfortable in my skin. Its hard to feel like myself right now since my body is changing so much and in such a short amount of time. Plus everyone feels the need to comment on my body lately. Unless you are telling my how amazing I look, I don't want to hear your comments people.

Best moment this week: Getting our first gift in the mail! My dad and step mom sent us a stroller and car seat. I can't wait to get them both set up. I'm getting more and more excited to be a mommy!

Weird pregnancy moment? Not any moment in particular, but my hormones have been so weird lately. Pregnancy can make you cry at commercials and scream at people while driving.

Movement: This girl is still kicking away. I can tell she is getting much stronger. Her kicks make me more and more uncomfortable.

Food Cravings: Salmon. I have been craving a lot more healthy foods. I can't wait till we get back from vacation so I can stock up on my favorite healthy snacks.

Anything making you queasy? Spaghetti and beef. Gross.

Symptoms: Leg cramps, headaches, gas, tingling in chest, rib pain, light headed. Baby is really starting to push on all my insides.

What I am looking forward to: Going to CA in a few days for my baby shower. Taylor recently told me that he wants to come and hang out with my at the shower. I'm super excited since I love to hang out with him and just have him by my side. I am so happy I get to see my family again and give everyone big hugs.

xoxo, Carly

You guys I am seriously swooning over this Everyday Spring Dress I received from one of my favorite online shops LucyandLyla. Their stuff is seriously amazing. Its hard to find a shop that sells clothing that is both adorable and affordable. Here are my top 5 reasons why everyone should own this beauty:

1. Color
One of my favorite things about this dress is that it comes in over 25 colors. You can buy a dress to go with every season & holiday of the year! I'm going to have to stock up while I can. All the colors are seriously adorable. They have almost everything you can think of. Sometimes I want a specific color and it takes forever for me to find something. LucyandLyla solves this problem because most of their dresses come in so many cute colors.
2. Style
This dress has become a new staple in my wardrobe because its easy to dress up or down. The style is so simple and classic that its hard to not want to throw it on every day (another reason why you should buy it 10 colors). This dress is flowy and super comfortable. I want to be in it 24/7.
3. Length
Something I look for in a dress is good length. Mostly because modesty is important to me and its almost impossible for me to buy skirts and dresses that are long enough. I am 5'9 and now pregnant, so finding something long has become a serious challenge. Its refreshing to find something so cute and modest. Every mormon girl should own one.
4. Price
When I saw that this dress was on sale for $17 I nearly fell over. Every dress I see online is easily over $30. For how amazing this dress is, the price is a steal!
5. Quality
As far as quality goes, this dress is amazing. Its extremely soft and airy. I hate wearing dresses that are too tight or stiff. I especially hate when online shops skimp on quality. You don't have worry about this with LucyandLyla. Their products are beautiful and long lasting.

So everyone head on over to their shop and purchase one of these for yourselves:
