Currently Craving: Small Fry

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//10//11//12

If you know me well then you might be aware that I’m a shopper. Well I guess you don’t really have to know me at all to identify a shopping problem, there’s plenty of evidence on this here blog (a characteristic I’m working on, that I promise you). Anyways, I am beyond surprised that I haven’t been going nuts these last couple of months when it comes to Baby Girl Mason. I’ve purchased the occasional graphic onesie from Old Navy (use code ONSAVENOW for 15% off! You’re welcome!) but I haven’t dropped more than a couple bucks on what I’m sure will be a very grand wardrobe. The way I see it, it will be summer in Arizona and I’ll have a newborn that will constantly spit up and poop so why bother with clothing? Of course she’ll be clothed when we leave the house, but other than the everyday onesie I’m not too worried about it.

With all that said, I’m still oohing and ahhing over these adorable pieces from Gap. Baby overalls, polka dots, and gingham? So freakin’ cute! I might have to do a little shopping for Baby Girl after all and with 25% off (with code GAPSUMMER) it won’t break my bank account too much.

Double Duty

During the last couple of weeks I’ve mentioned countless times that my closet is slowly shrinking while my belly is quickly growing. I’ve had to resort to improvisation and playing around with my existing wardrobe instead of going out and purchasing new items. This ‘tunic’ isn’t really a tunic but a risqué dress I already owned (last worn here and here). It was the perfect little number for a classic date night of dinner and a movie with the fella this past Saturday. This is double duty at its finest, my friends!

Happy Monday:)

Pregnancy Update - Week 31

• I’m a full on outtie. Well, not full on but enough so that you can see my belly button through shirts.
• My work is throwing me a baby shower at the end of the month. As much as I complain about my job I do value the people I work with and I’m grateful for the soiree.
• My glucose test results came in and I don’t have gestational diabetes! But my doctor has suggested that I start taking an iron supplement because my levels are a little low. She has especially recommended it so that all goes well during delivery.
• My wedding rings are officially off. They’re usually fine but in the afternoon, with this Arizona heat, I have to remove them. I’m thinking of hitting up Kohl’s, Ross, TJ Maxx or Marshalls for a knock off.
• Pregnancy brain is in full force. I can’t seem to finish a sentence, which has been entertaining my husband. My words aren’t coming out as fast as my brain is computing them. A lot of made up words over here.
• I’ve been asked if I’ve gotten any stretch marks and I don’t think I have. I have the one’s I’ve had since my growth spurt as a teenager but no new ones. My morning routine includes Cocoa Butter, which I generously lather around my midsection.
• I’m starting to get antsy for the arrival of Baby Girl Mason. I cannot wait to meet her and smother her with kisses! It’s strange to love someone so much that you don’t even know.
• The area around my boobs has become really vainy. It’s not sexy, y’all and I hope it goes back to normal after baby girl’s arrival.
• Other than my emotional instability, I’m doing okay. Just getting off a really bad sinus infection, hence the lack of posts this week but my OB ok’d Tylenol Cold and Sinus and I’m able to take the PM version. Yay sleep!

Nursery Sneak Peek

This past weekend the fella and I finally made some headway on the nursery! I had planned to have it completed by the end of May but that’s not going to happen, so I’m shooting for the first weekend of June. Fingers crossed!

Anyways, here’s a sneak peek of the ‘statement wall’ I had planned and might I say it turned out fantastic! I’m so freakin’ proud of myself, LOL! I did it all by myself and might have been having little conversations with Baby Girl Mason the entire time. We bonded:) The following day the hubby did me a solid and built both the crib and the glidder chair, so we’ve got furniture! Baby steps, my friends.

The Ikea list is made and in a couple of weeks we’ll be purchasing the remainder of the nursery furniture as well as the remainder of the newborn necessitites.

Less than 60 days, that seems impossible!

Paint Color: Olympic in April Sky

Decal: Via Esty
