I know I touched on this last week---but I really love pregnancy. I feel blessed that I've been feeling so good these last couple of months. I have a feeling I'll have a symptom pile-on in third trimester, but that's okay. I'm just trying to enjoy the experience as much as possible. I even joked with the husband that I'm not sure I can ever ...

23 Weeks!
I've really been enjoying pregnancy so far. Other than some brief discomfort here and there, I've been fortunate to have a fairly symptom-free and happy second trimester. Having said that, week 23 was the first time I felt like my hormones were really in overdrive. I was more emotional than usual, though some of that was definitely ...
Outfits Lately & A New Purchase
On Sunday I spent a couple of hours cleaning out and reorganizing my closet. Every spring and fall I rearrange it so that the warmer clothes are in the front for fall/winter and the cooler ones are in the front for spring/summer. It makes getting dressed easier and keeps things that are in-season easier to see. I also wanted to see if rearranging ...
Weekend Updates
This morning I met with one of my friends for a lovely brunch at Sweet Paris. I had a Bonne Mama crepe with four berry jam and a side salad with strawberries. YUM! If you are in Houston, definitely check it out. They also have crepes with eggs, meat, etc. So delicious and the decor is really nice as well (think tufted bench seating and ...
22 weeks!
I haven't been blogging much lately. Things have been so busy at work that I'm typically pretty tired by the time I get home and ready to eat dinner, watch a couple of shows and go to bed. I love being busy at work though, so no complaints here. Even though I have four months left at work, I feel like I'm trying to get as much done as possible ...
Weekend Shopping & Baby’s Dresser Has Arrived
We had a pretty laid back Saturday, until I decided when we got home from lunch and running errands that we were going to empty out the nursery. Our day started off with our Restoration Hardware Baby & Child Haylan wide dresser and hutch being delivered (we got it for 20% off!). More on that later. Then, we went out for lunch and I ...
21 weeks!
I think the halfway point of pregnancy kind of brought out a sense of urgency in me. Suddenly I started to think about how I haven't ordered much yet so I started to (in a panic) use the task list app on my iPhone to make a list of all of the things we need to do before baby arrives (tour daycares, have nursery painted, curtains installed, ...
Outfits Lately & GAP maternity really skinny pants love
This post is a little combo of two weekend outfits and two work week outfits. I've found myself gravitating towards the same pieces---especially my super long tanks and dress shirts. They work so well with a bump. The one thing in common in all of these photos is the GAP really skinny maternity pants. It's safe to say I'm completely in love with ...
Outfits Lately
Dressing for work has been fun lately. Now that I'm showing more, it's interesting to see how different clothes drape on my body. Fortunately I own a lot of long and looser tops, so I haven't had a hard time putting together outfits...yet...haha! Ask me 10 weeks from now how simple it is to put outfits together. I'm still wearing a lot of ...
20 weeks!
How far along? 20 weeks (I do these a week behind as a recap of the previous week, so I'm actually 21 weeks today.) Total weight gain/loss: At my 20 week appointment, I was up 3 lbs. total so far in this pregnancy. I was a little concerned and asked my OB if this was not good or if I should try to gain more and she said I ...
