Dress: H&M// Cardigan:  Anthropologie// Fedora: Nordstrom// Necklace:  Anthropologie
My cardigan and necklace were both pieces from my sale alerts.  The cardigan was originally $118 (on sale for $9.95), and the necklace was originally $48 (on sale for $19.95).

This pregnancy has flown by, and to be honest I’m a little proud of how well I’ve been feeling this time around.  I have no idea if it’s because I’m having a boy, or because I’m in a different place emotionally, or the dozens of other factors that play into how a pregnancy goes.  I just know I’ve truly enjoyed carrying around this little boy around in my belly.

All that said, this week I’ve officially hit the mark of, Okay I’m ready to be done.  Blame it on the weather (it was 104 degrees yesterday!), or the ridiculous amount of energy it takes to roll over in bed…..I’m ready for this boy to come.  Aaand he is still nameless.  Travis and I have been scouring over books and have yet to settle on a name, let alone a list of names.    I was lamenting over the fact that he doesn’t have a name and I love what my friend spoke to me, God knows his name.

I can’t wait until I’m a grandma.  When Selah has a family of her own I keep thinking Then she’ll know how much I love her.  (And how hard/amazing this motherhood thing can be!)  Travis and I spent a sweet day with my mom and daughter.  I love these people.  I kept thinking about how blessed I am to love so much and be so loved.  The older I get the more I appreciate them, and those closest to me.  We had a picnic in the park and I tried my best to brave the 90 degree heat with my larger than life belly.  And I’m so excited, I got a Bamboo tablet to play with and add handwriting to my photos!  I still need to practice a lot, sorry if my handwriting looks like a fourth graders! (That’s my own handwriting in the first picture.)  Hope you had a great weekend too!

Seriously Pregnant

Saturday evenings are one of my favorite days of the week.  My amazing mom babysits most every Saturday night.  Travis and I will typically go out and do something really low key, like dinner.  Sometimes I feel like we don’t fully take advantage of this precious alone time, but I’ve learned it’s better if we don’t put pressure on ourselves to come up with the most creative dates.   This is mainly due to the fact that I’ve officially entered the I’m huge stage of pregnancy, and I’m tired.  I know this is just for a time, and I’m okay with that.  I pulled this beauty from the back of my closet and was thrilled that it actually fit!  (I know I don’t look thrilled, but I am!)

Quinby Intarsia Cardigan

quinby intarsia cardigan swish and swoon

This sweater, originally $118 is now $9.95.  Currently available in select stores.  ( I know for a fact they have it at their Charlotte, NC store in a size small and medium.  Their number is 704-442-9454.)  Call customer service and they will direct you to a store who will ship it to you.  I’m always blown away by Anthropologie’s customer service.  I was so excited when they found this for me.  I’ll have to wait until I can actually fit into it, but it’s totally worth the wait.

Croc Blush Satchel

schuler and sons blush satchel anthropologie

Anthropologie’s Croc Blush Satchel is marked down from $228 to $79.95.  I saw this bag in person and was immediately drawn to the softness of the leather.  The coral pink color makes it quite an eye catcher, and I’m especially fond of the subtle color variations.  It reminds me of watercolor art.

Happy Monday, friends!  This weekend was all about me getting out of my comfort zone.   Travis absolutely loves to off road, and he was so excited to plan a day trip with me and Selah.  You see, I’ve never been a fan of off roading.  It had literally been years since I had gone.  So, why not go 7 months pregnant?  Brilliant!

God bless him, he drove slow.  Extremely slow.  It took a few more hours than we had planned.  But the slowness of the ride wasn’t able to cushion the jolts of the rocky road.  And I tell you what, my pregnant body did not like.  Now I know why people say to drive down a bumpy road to induce labor.   Seriously!   (The contractions I had were Braxton Hicks so I wasn’t experiencing the real deal.)  That combined with baby boy on my bladder made for plenty of pit stops.  Ahhh, the joys of pregnancy!  (No, really, it is a truly a  joy!)

Add Some Structure!

sans collar blazer

Anthropologie’s Sans Collar Blazer is such a great blend of polish and whimsy.  I love that it doesn’t have a collar, and it sure is nice to see some polka dots incorporated into the details.   I actually don’t own a blazer, but aren’t they supposed to be a staple in your wardrobe or something!?  Don’t be dismayed if your size is sold out online.  Simply call customer service and they will find a store that has your size and ship it to you!   I’m so glad it’s Friday, I hope you all have a lovely weekend.  See ya on Monday!

Rugby Stripe Chemise

striped dress

Good morning, friends.  Here is a little gem I found on sale this morning.  Perfect for throwing on to go to the beach or pool!  I love the kind of dresses that are stretchy and you can just pull on….no zippers.  And then there’s the pockets.  LOVE.
