    The End of an Era

    Well, you guys, this is it! This will be my last outfit post before Asa is born. My last outfit post before I take some maternity leave from the blog for two weeks. The last time you’ll see me (other than on Instagram, which I can’t quit, haha!) before I have an actual, real baby in my arms. I can’t believe it! Even after nine months of preparation, it just doesn’t seem real. I’m sitting here impatient for him to come, but at the same time… I have no idea what it’s going to be like when he’s really here. I will definitely be sharing a picture of him when…

    Determination

     You guys have no idea how difficult it was to take pictures today. I mean, getting out of bed is hard. Getting dressed in real clothes is a victory. And putting on my own shoes? That, my dears, is almost impossible. I mean, when you’re only six days away from your due date, it’s a miracle when you see your feet, much less reach them. But after the struggle of getting clothes and shoes on, I triumphantly came downstairs only to realize that 1. it was raining, and 2. the tripod is in the car. Which my husband drove to work. Still, I was determined. After all, this might be…

    Hello, 2014

    Cardigan c/o Oasap | Motherhood jeans | Forever 21 tank top | JC Penney boots Happy 2014! This is probably the closest we’ll get to a maternity shoot. And possibly our last photoshoot together before Asa is born! I’ve got 9 days until my due date, he’s dropped, I’m feeling very, very sporadic contractions (as in, 6am then 12:30pm one day, then nothing till 7pm the next day, then something like 3pm the next day…) and everything feels like it’s gearing up to have this baby soon. I’m itchy all over, too. Which is slightly annoying, but hey! I’ll have a baby soon! How has your 2014 started out? Happy…

    Coming to a close

    Well, you guys, it’s the last day of the year! And what better way to end the year than with a fabulous dress? Sunday Millie sent me this adorable 60’s number, and I LOVE it! My husband is skeptical about the fabric– it’s a mixture of satiny and rough — but I told him it doesn’t matter. The pattern is cute, I happen to like the fabric, and it’s one of those awesome tent dresses that can be belted for shape, or left flowing if you’re feeling lazy. I keep thinking I should be writing a deep and thoughtful look back at the year on this last day of 2013,…

    This is real life

    Yesterday was the first day of my pregnancy that I have thought “Yeah, I’m done.”  I’ve been feeling less-than great, and I think it’s all the tempting holiday food. But it could also be that I am now 21 days from my due date, and almost full term! The misery had to set in sometime! So I thought I would share real life with you. I didn’t leave the house yesterday, I didn’t wash my face, I didn’t put on makeup, I didn’t brush my hair, and I didn’t edit these pictures other than cropping. And, to be honest, I’m fine with that! I might look less glamorous in these…
