We have hit the single digit countdown and it’s about all we can do to get ourselves geared up for dinner out.  It feels reminiscent of the first trimester tiredness, except we know how limited our time is just the two of us–so we have really tried to get out and enjoy this weather!

FINALLY found some time and energy to get my hair done and let me tell you, it was a total game-changer.

The boots I mentioned here arrived and I really haven’t worn anything since.  They are absolutely the best.

So much to do–find a pediatrician, daycare provider, put together the baby room, pay bills, prepare meals, thank you notes, BUT Hocus Pocus was beaconing.  FYI–all of these things are still not done.

The babe and I survived our 30 week check up and I was actually down a pound so I decided we need a smoothie and an asiago cheese bagel!


Speaking of smoothies, I am obsessed with them right now.  Particularly the green passion power smoothie from Panera.  Delicious.

I actually have today off work and I have BIG plans to get things done!  What are some things you recommend in the last few weeks?
Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Well happy Wednesday, friends!! Phew–things are getting real around the Johnson household. We are finding that every minute is consumed with baby to-dos.  Then about halfway through accomplishing a baby related task, I usually cry because I realize we only have NINE more weeks of just Matt and I after TEN years of just us.  This baby is such a blessing and we are finding ourselves more and more excited for their arrival each day, but we also know how much is going to change–and that is just a tad scary!  It also didn’t help that when we mentioned to our doctor’s office that we were traveling this weekend, they suggested we go ahead and pack our carseat, hospital bags, and copy of medical records just in case.  Insert wide-eyed emoji here.

Ok, so let’s get to the nitty gritty.  Baby stuff is on the brain so prepare yourself for overload the next 2 months. Sorry in advance.

  1. Teething necklace.  Functional and cute.  Yep!
  2. Halloween Cards.  The best holiday is upon us!! Wouldn’t miss a chance to send a little spooky mail!
  3. Sugar Paper Signature Pen.
  4. These gold earrings are to die for and they are only $12.  Score.
  5. Floral Power Trip Cord.  I feel like I am always on the go these days, a backup charger and this car charger are essentials.
  6. Essie ‘After School Boy Blazer’.
  7. Kai Body Lotion.
  8. So, June and January just launched their fall line and it includes dozens of new pieces that are gender neutral like this bib.  Swoon.
  9. This basket is just begging to be filled with cute baby toys.
  10. Ok, so this reptile pillow is a little boyish.  We can’t help it.  We are 99% sure that’s what we are having so it couldn’t hurt just to get this and then worst case scenario, girls like dinosaurs too?

What all are you guys loving this week?  Any baby goods I am missing???

Hope you have a great rest of the week–2 more days!

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!

We hit the halfway mark!  It seems strange now that in less time than I have already spent with the babe, he or she will be here!  I hate to wish away the time, but we are so excited to meet this little one!

Ah, the sweet feeling of a brand new planner!  If you’ve had your eye on this one, you better hurry and grab one because they are almost sold out!

Matt and I celebrated four years this past week.  When I start thinking about how time flies, I remind myself that in October we will have been dating for ten.  WHAT?!

21 weeks!

Pretty much everyday I come home from school and crawl right back into bed.  This week, I decided to change it up a bit and head out for coffee with a friend.  Good conversation, perky decor, and the best dang decaf latte around.  Pistacia Vera might be my new after school hangout.

At now almost 22 weeks, my feet are disappearing and bending over is getting much harder–much less putting on these dang compression hose.  Still, it is such a joy to look down and see the growing babe!  Life is just better with you around, kiddo!

It’s been a busy, but happy couple of weeks!  What about you all, what have you been up to?
Hope you have a snazzy weekend–starting to feel a little like fall out there!  Eek!
