Sitting, waiting, wishing…

It’s crazy to think we’re at the tail end of our pregnancy journey. We passed 39 weeks this last weekend, and now we’re just sitting, waiting, wishing for the final day to arrive!

Third trimester has been kind of a hoot. The first few months were great, it’s so incredible to see (and feel!) your baby growing inside you. I definitely grew the most this last trimester, which to be honest I was excited for as it took awhile for me to actual “look” pregnant, especially out in the wild. We also got the chance to spend a lot of time with family and friends, we’re all getting excited! Having an early January due date has definitely worked in our favor, with all the time off (thank heavens!), holiday visits, and just being able to stay inside cozied up before our bundle of joy gets here. Things could certainly be worse!

We have our induction date scheduled, so baby is bound to get here in the next two weeks. Really crossing my fingers I go into labor naturally, before our induction date, but I know baby will arrive when he’s ready.

Hope you all have had a beautiful holiday season, and hopefully we’ll be a family of three by my next post! ❤️

Boots for Fall

Rainy season got here quick! Always wild how fast fall’s rain gets comfortable once it’s here. The good news is that my cozy knits and winter boots are out and about and ready to be worn! I’ve picked up two pairs of boots in the last couple months, funny enough they’re the same pair just different shades! I loved these suede boots so much, I had to pick up the black leather that I knew would wear better in rain. So happy I did - I tried them on with a few of my knit dresses and skirts, and they’re so cute! A great way to casual up some of my dresses for daytime too, couldn’t be more thrilled.

Hope you’re all enjoying the beginning of fall, we’re over here making apple crisp and pumpkin cookies, indulging in all the fall flavors ☺️

Hello, third trimester

The third trimester is here! It’s true what they say, second trimester was absolutely blissful 😊 It’s been so fun watching my bump grow, and feeling little guy move around constantly! Makes it feel all that much more real, and even more excited about the months to come.

Nesting has also gotten real! We unwrapped a few gifts from our family this week and quickly realized we’re going to start running out of room in the nursery! Queue us starting to break down boxes and get things a little more organized. As far as the big items go, we’ve gotten most of the essentials: Stroller, bassinet, crib, car seat, nursery glider, baby bouncer, wallpaper and the list goes on! Feeling very fortunate and can’t wait for little one to enjoy it all soon.

Cass and I have been so fortunate to travel over the years: Europe, Japan, Jamaica, Mexico, the list goes on! This last year we’ve been focusing on smaller getaways in the PNW with our little one on the way, booking something each month! Our last and final trip was to the Columbia Gorge Hotel this last week. As usual, we had such a blast! The gorge is so beautiful, captivating waterfalls and beautiful wineries and orchards nearby. We went apple picking, enjoyed some amazing food, and I got my first prenatal massage! Such a fun little getaway at one of our fave places. Crazy to think next time we visit we’ll have a little one with us!

We’re expecting!

Long time no write! Can’t believe we’re almost a month past us announcing we have a little one on the way. We truly couldn’t be more excited! While first trimester was a wild ride, which for me included a lot of nausea, mostly in the evenings, and just feeling plain old tired. Comparatively second trimester has been an absolute dream! I’m truly enjoying pregnancy, all the flutters and excitement for my growing belly and soon to be little boy :)

Now that we’re approaching the last few weeks of the second trimester, we’re in nesting stage! Dreaming up the nursery, narrowing down baby furniture and putting together the registry.

Wanted to give a little update and share a few photos that bring a smile to my face - being pregnant with our little boy.
