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!

A few weekends ago, I traveled up to Indiana for a bridal shower for my sweet cousin Amber and got to see this pretty lady, my dad, grandma, and all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins.  It was so fun getting to be with them and for them to get to feel the baby move!  It’s been hard being away from family and not being able to share all of the little milestones!


Got this sweet tee from Jean and June and started getting all kinds of teary.  Can’t believe we get to meet this little nugget in less than 3 months!


 FALL!!!!


We settled on this stroller and car seat set.  We got it all set up and things got REAL.


The babe and I at 28 weeks!  We have officially hit the 3rd trimester!

AND finally….October is here, my friends!! Ah, sweet, sweet October.
Plus, my baby brother turns 24 today…what?!  Hope you have a happy day Nicky poo!
So that’s it for me, what have you all been up to?

Headed out with some of my favorite Columbus bloggers for a little get together at Seventh Son Brewing.


Got the prettiest little envelope in the mail from Nennie with a save the date for a baby shower planned for peanut!  November, hurry up already!!  We can’t wait to celebrate peanut!


25 weeks!  These days I am feeling quite thankful for flowy tops like this one from Target.  And, bonus, all clothing, shoes, and accessories are buy one get one 50% off!


I purchased this band from Target as a means of helping to support my belly and ease some of my leg pain.  The best part?  This little hot/cold pack.  It is pretty much always in use.


Was kind of having a blah week last week so I treated myself to more flowy tops from Target like this one and this purse.  Sometimes you’ve just gotta treat yo’ self!

Made some Pumpkin Maple Pecan Granola the other weekend.  Plowed through it in a about two days so last weekend I made four batches.  Also made about 8 banana bread loaves to stock the freezer for when baby arrives!  Nesting much?

Y’all this weather.  I am that girl when it comes to fall.  I do not care.


We are 26 weeks and while I am pretty much feeling every bit of it, I look down or feel those amazing kicks and I know every second is worth it.  We love you little peanut!

So, what are you all up to?  Hope you are out there enjoying the weather wherever you are!
Cheers!

 A night out at the baseball field was just what the doctor ordered.  All night it felt a little strange that this might be our last baseball game as a family of two.  Can’t wait to share our love of baseball with our little one!

Saturday morning planning and organizing might be my favorite.


I just have to do a little public service announcement about this maternity top.  I will be going and getting it in every single color.


The babe and I at 23 weeks out for a stroll after dinner!

We are in full nesting mode.  I got to do a little prepping upstairs while Matt and his step dad worked away on the basement!

Spent a beautiful Saturday at the winery for a wedding.


We had a doctor’s appointment yesterday.  Heartbeat was 150 and everything is looking great!  Next up, glucose test!

 

 and finally…a huge GOOD LUCK to Natalie as she takes her next round of boards today!! You’ve got this sista!! Love you!
That’s it for me!  Hope you are all having a marvelous start to the week!

I have several close friends and family members who are also expecting little bundles of joy here in the next few months.  It has been so much fun chatting with them about the strangeness that is pregnancy and of course showering them with gifts and love!

While in St. Louis for my cousin Katie’s baby shower, it was a must that we stop by the Kate Spade outlet.  Talk about a dangerous place.  Sensory overload.

The babe and I at 18 weeks!

After returning from St. Louis, I pretty much hopped right back in the car and headed down to West Virginia where I meet my Richmond teaching friends halfway a couple of times a year.  It is a time I look forward to every couple of months.  I miss these girls like crazy and feel so blessed we have remained close!


As soon as I arrived at our hotel, they had the sweetest surprise baby shower set up, complete with sparkling lemonade and cupcakes.  Baby is already so loved!

Upon returning from travels feeling puffy and tired, the reality of heading back to school hit me square in the face.  The only remedy was gathering my supplies for my classroom and heading over to get it all set up.  Every year this immediately gets me excited for the new year.  We had our teacher work week this week and the kids start Monday and I can honestly say I am ready and excited to get back to it!


 The babe and I at 19 weeks!

We got to see our peanut this week!  The best part of the appointment was looking over at Matt and seeing his face as he watched our little one squirm around.  He is going to be the best dad.  Next time we see you little one, you will be in our arms!

I thought I would close with the photo that has left us giggling all week.  As soon as the person doing our ultra sound saw this pop up on the screen she exclaimed, “woah, big feet!”  We had to laugh.  Mama and papa both have very large feet and we have always said this kid was doomed to have clodhoppers!  Sorry, kiddo!

So, what have you all been up to?  Hope you are enjoying the sunshine! Have a great weekend!
