I sat and attempted to curate the perfect diaper bag and I am pretty sure I have failed miserably.  I am noticing a trend with all things baby–live and learn!  We are ready to start!


We have so so much to do still, but alas, this is all I have the energy for…

Everywhere we look there are so many cute reminders that baby is just around the corner!

I managed three Christmas parties in the last week and a blogger brunch!  I’ll call that a social success as I’m pretty sure that’s more socialization than I did my entire pregnancy!

 I just adore the network of ladies I’ve met through blogging in Columbus.  This past weekend we headed to The Guild House for a little holiday celebration!


We also hosted a favorites party for my work peeps this week!  You bring three of your favorite $10 items (can make any limit) and then, if you have a large group, draw names for three rounds of choosing from all the favorite items!  When you leave, you have three of your friends’ favorite items!  If you have a smaller group, you can bring enough for everyone and do a smaller dollar amount.  I have also done challenges like favorite $2 item for the kitchen! So much fun!

My last to-do was oh so important.  Nails.  Had to do something to feel a little pretty in all the chaos!

And now we wait.  We are officially scheduled for induction Sunday at 9 p.m. if nothing happens sooner!  We have been anticipating this weekend for so many months/years.  I remember our first appointment so clearly.  I went by myself (tricked Matt a little) so that I could do a little surprise announcement for him after I knew for sure…I was so nervous and then everything just felt right when they walked in and told me the best news of my life.  I was a mama.  Now, in just a matter of hours, we get to meet that sweet babe!

Next time we chat, baby will be here!
Have a great weekend, friends!

The babe and me at 34 weeks! 
Things have been super busy, but I have tried to carve out a few calm moments to catch up with friends or sip a decaf latte.

The baby room set up!  More to come soon!

Last weekend was our baby shower with friends and family!  Baby is already so blessed!

Our baby already has the cutest friends in town!

We are nearing 37 weeks and it feels like we are coasting from here!  Baby could be here any day!  My mom and sister headed back to Columbus with us on Sunday for a week of bonding and final baby prep!  EEEK!

What have you all been up to?!  Hope you all have a chance to relax this week with your loved ones!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Unfortunately, I have to start off with our unhappy news.  We lost our sweet Graham.  Natalie and Tad took him in when he was skin and bones and nourished him in every way possible.  He brought so much happiness to our family.

 Spent a rainy Saturday morning brunching with Amanda from Girl About Columbus and Liz from Breathe It All In at Alchemy.  We chatted over avocado toast and smoothies about all things mommy.  Love these ladies!

Finally got caught up on my snail mail…

 …which included the loads of boxes that have been arriving.  We have not really had the time to go together to pick out what we need, so we opted to have most of it shipped and it was like Christmas morning going through all of it!

The babe and I at 33 weeks!  We threw ourselves a pity party since we didn’t get to go to Florida last weekend and went on a little shopping spree!  We almost have Christmas done!

What the what?! It’s November!!  I feel a certain anxiousness about Christmas’ arrival, but also can’t bear to put away my pumpkins.  Gonna just be a weird hodge podge for awhile!

THE ROYALS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!  So stinkin’ incredible!  My mom was 8 months pregnant with me the last time they won the world series in ’85 and so it just feels like fate.  Can’t wait for our baby to grow up watching the boys in blue!

The baby room is 99% complete.  Come on baby!  We are ready for ya!

What snazzy things have you all been up to?  Hope you have all had an excellent start to November!  Have a great weekend!

Good morning!!  And happy almost Halloween!  I pretty much celebrate this holiday all month long by binge eating candy and watching Hocus Pocus on repeat.  This weekend  I am flying solo as Matt has jetted off to our dear friends’ wedding in Florida.  I am incredibly sad to be missing it, but with this baby on the horizon in less than 7 weeks, flying just wasn’t an option for me.  SO to cheer myself up, I have planned a mega girly, treat yo’ self, relaxing weekend.  Here’s what’s on the agenda starting at 3:30 today.

  1. Cozying up with pillows and lots o’ blankets is a top priority.  It is absolutely freezing in our house and Matt is a real stickler about that thermostat.  I’m sure he has an app that would alert him if I even walked passed it.
  2. Baking!  Tonight I am thinking pumpkin bread and tomorrow morning these pumpkin spice waffles.
  3. When Matt is not around I actually get to brew my decaf coffee and indulge in perhaps more than my one daily cup.  If I could, I would drink coffee all day long.  Mostly because I have a thing for coffee mugs.
  4. You guys.  How stunning is this chair?  I definitely have some lounging on the agenda this weekend and I certainly wouldn’t mind doing it in this beaut.
  5. I was wearing Essie Smokin’ Hot well before it was seasonally appropriate.  What can I say?  I’m obsessed.
  6. Cute matches and candles.
  7. I was down another three pounds at this week’s appointment.  Soooooooo I’m thinking I can indulge more than normal this weekend?  I want these pretzels!
  8. Cozy slippers are the first thing happening when I get home.  I cannot wait.

I also have high hopes of getting out to do a little shopping this weekend, but I am having a whole lotta trouble with my hips.  I am almost done Christmas shopping and I am determined to finish in the next week or so!  May have to resort to staying cuddled up and having it shipped.  But there’s just something about hitting’ the shops for the holidays!

So what about you all?  What do you have up your sleeves for the big holiday weekend?  Hope you have a marvelous weekend!
