Five on Friday!

One...

I did a little shopping with my mom last weekend and came across some gems I have to share!

Available at The Snow Goose in Tulsa or online here.

Some great cocktail napkins, I can't remember where I found these...

Had to go by the liquor store for a gift and couldn't help but buy this bottle for myself for after baby of course.. Shopping in a liquor store 7.5 months pregnant is not a fun task btw. People are judgey.


Two...
If you haven't seen this 1 minute Coca Cola Ad from Argentina, stop what you're doing and watch it. It's the sweetest thing ever!

Three...
My sister put out her Best Jams of 2013 list - you guys should check. it. out.

Four...

Saw this on Pinterest and love it, really hitting home this year.

Five...
Found some fun Christmas recipes I'm thinking about trying out!
Grinch Fruit Kabobs - these are just too cute

I will for sure be making a version of this Christmas Tree Cheese Tray -

I fully support someone making these and bringing me a batch - PW's Caramel Apple Sweet Rolls

Any other good recipes out there I need to know about?

Bumpdate: 28 Weeks - Hello Third Trimester!

How Far Along:
28 weeks!

Baby Size:
A large eggplant - Baby is approximately 14.8 inches long and weighs about 2.25 lbs (according to BabyCenter)

Have you started to show yet: 
Yes! I'm starting to feel quite large.

Gender:
Baby Boy!


Maternity Clothes:
My selection from my closet is very limited these days.. I did go to the Gap Outlet and picked up a sweater and pair of thick leggings that I'm rotating in now. For the most part I'm still wearing the same things over and over.. I figure if I mix it up with a diff scarf or necklace it's totally fine.

Stretch Marks:
Nope but I'm nervous b/c I've been growing a lot! Still using the Mama Mio products and loving them! Pick up some for yourself here.

Sleep: 
Sleeping meh.. it's hard to go back to sleep once I've woken up for a bathroom break so I feel like a zombie most days.

Best Moment Lately: 
Hitting the 3rd Trimester! I'm so excited to be starting the downhill of this journey b/c at the end is a little precious baby! Dave has been so sweet, he's practically my butler in the evenings b/c I'm back to being super tired. He probably refills my water glass 4 times a night.. so sweet. He is busy studying for boards but it always so thoughtful when he takes his breaks :)
We also had a good time seeing a bunch of friends at a holiday party this past weekend! It was icy and snowy but we still managed to have a great time!

My evening buddies while Dave studies for boards:

What I miss: 
I saw an Instagram of a delicious looking swirl from Mi Cocina and I can't stop thinking about it.. I want a big margarita with a mound of guacamole on the side! yummmm!


Movement:
Tons! I'm starting to feel like a punching bag every evening he gets his workouts in after dinner.


Food Cravings: 
Popcorn! We had THE best popcorn at the movie theatre seeing Catching Fire and I've seriously contemplated stopping in the movies just to buy popcorn and leave on my way home from work several times... If the parking lot wasn't always so full I probably would stop.

Symptoms: 
Aching Hips after lying down for a while.. my doc said it's just my ligaments loosening up.. so that's awesome. My 2 pairs of pants better have a little more stretch left in them! Also starting to get tired like in the first trimester again..

Anything making you queasy or sick: 
Nothing in particular but when I eat too much I feel like I could get sick... happens pretty often so I've started eating small snacks throughout the day instead of big meals.

Labor Signs:
Nada

Belly Button- In or Out?:
Flat to slightly out.. I think it depends on where the little guy is, sometimes it looks like I have an outie but mostly it's just flat.

Wedding Rings- On or Off?:
On

Baby Purchases?:
We did a little Black Friday shopping since Gap had everything 50% off! And I scored the cutest Kickee Pants footie on a buy one get one sale at a local boutique! I actually got two but only photographed one.. b/c my brain is fried.

 And my aunt gifted us with the below adorable cozy outfit! I can't wait to bundle up the little guy in this cuteness!

Oh oh annnd we got the art back from the framer!! Here's the dresser, lamp, toy basket and artwork! We'll put the changing pad on the dresser and hang the art but for now you get the gist!

Looking forward to: 
My work shower on Thursday! It's my first shower and I'm so excited to see what the little guy will get and to celebrate with everyone who's been witnessing my growing belly everyday!

One...
Thanksgiving was wonderful! We may have won the award biggest family Thanksgiving - if there was such an honor? And we were missing people! Can you believe it? These tables were full and sit 55!

 

If my Dad had made it there would have been 4 generations in this picture! (If you count the baberz- which I do!)

With just a few of my gorgeous cousins! Love them!!

I bought 2 dresses that were terrible so had to go with my last choice.. it's whatever.

My Preggo Stacked Plate - I'm still dreaming about the truffle oil mac and cheese; One of the four dressed up birds!; The happy couple getting a blessing from Father Tom; Lyrics to a beautiful song sung in honor of my grandparents - brought tears to this emotional preggo's eyes

It was so great to see all the fam, especially my adorable grandparents who were also celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary! Such an amazing example they've set for us all. My grandma is so cute, she had a cold and had lost her voice and said "I've been disarmed, my voice is my weapon". She's full of the best little sayings, I wish I had a book of all of them!

Two...
I read about this Magic Moroccan lipstick on the Daybook blog and with the $4 pricetag I thought, what the heck? This stuff works people! It does turn a very pink color, which is perfect for me but if you're not a pink fan then I'd steer clear. But check this out guys, it lasts almost all day for me! I just wish the tube was prettier..

don't judge this picture.. this was after our 6 hour drive home from Houston

Three...
Anthro is killing me with their adorable clothing options this season... if only I didn't have 3 months left of baby bump I'd be filling my cart with all of these and not looking back!

Ruched Ecarlate Dress - $138

 Estrie Henley - $68

Jewelscape Tee - $49

French Knot Scoopneck - $39

Pompom Crest Tee - $19

Four...

HomeGoods has also been killing it lately with the Christmas items! Here are a few things I picked up this week! Perfect hostess gifts for every occasion!

Happy Friday! Bumpdate coming soon.. if I can get myself dressed one of these days :)

Five on Friday!

One...
Next week is Thanksgiving!! On one hand I'm like woah seriously already?? And on the other hand I'm like shit yeah about time! We're going down to Houston this year to spend Thanksgiving with my Dad's enormous side of the family! Looking forward to seeing my 35 first cousins (for real, my dad is one of 12 children, Irish Catholics, I'll tell ya)! And I'll be bringing some fun Thanksgiving Photo Props to document the holiday! You can print your own here!

Two...
How cute are these Thanksgiving "Leftovers" printables?! Found via Carolina Charm - link to printables here!

Three...
Here's a little sneaky peak into the little guys nursery! I always knew I wanted a daybed for the nursery but once we found out it was a boy I struggled with finding one that I thought was masculine enough. I stalked this baby on Craigslist, had to email the chick at least 7 times before she responded but she did and I made it mine. Then I found out it was 3.5 hours away from my house.. cue Dave calling me a crazy person. But after I listed out all the reasons why it was perfect and what a deal it was, he obliged my hormonal craziness and drove me the 3.5 hours, loaded up the daybed and drove me back. We're off to a good start!
(Note: these are the pics from Craigslist, I obvi cleaned it up and made it pretty)

Four...
I've been recording Bethenny's talk show and watching the episodes that sound interesting. I'm SO glad I decided to watch the show where she had James Blunt on! He totally cracked me up during his whole interview and then at the end played his new song, which I'm now obsessed with!
Here's their funny interview:


And here's his new song: (he crashed a wedding to film this video, makes it cuter right?)


Five...
I picked up these break and bake cookies at Target before Halloween and was SO happy they had them still for Thanksgiving. You guys, these are seriously the best cookies in the world. Please please go buy some, you can thank me later.

Have you all started your Christmas lists yet? I'm working on a "Gift Guide" but it's taking me longer than I expected... I want to only give you guys THE best options! I'd love to hear if you've posted one somewhere!

Bumpdate: 25 weeks!

 

How Far Along:
25 weeks! (or just over 6 months for those non-preggos who don't get why everything is counted in weeks like I did prior to becoming preggo)

Baby Size:
An average Rutabaga (whatever the hell that is?) - Baby is approximately 13.5 inches long and weighs about 1.5 lbs (according to BabyCenter)

Have you started to show yet: 
Yes! I'm starting to feel quite large.

Gender:
Baby Boy!

Still rocking the same 8 or so outfits... I plan on rotating those for the next 4 months.. I did invest in this maternity tank from Target that I love!

Stretch Marks:
Nope! Still using the Mama Mio products and loving them! Pick up some for yourself here.

Sleep: 
Sleeping ok.. I bought not this exact one but similar to it, nightlight/knockoff scentsy warmer for my bathroom that has made the middle of the night bathroom trips much more pleasant. 

Best Moment of the Week: 
Visiting my new Dr and loving every second of it! I made the decision to switch doctor's because I wasn't happy at the one I'd been seeing and I'm SOOO glad I did.

What I miss: 
Nothing really! Pretty content at the time being!


Movement:
Getting lots of kicks, punches and rolling around in there! Pretty entertaining to see my belly move!


Food Cravings: 
Chocolate Milk... but to be fair I was a pretty avid chocolate milk fan before getting pregnant.

Nope

Looking forward to: 
The holidays and getting to see some family we haven't seen since the big announcement!

Five on Friday!

I've been loving everyone's Five on Friday posts so I decided I'd get my act together and do one also! (Bumpdate coming soon.. just need to snap a new photo)

One...
 HUGE thank you to Day Old News for sharing the awesomeness that is Tamar and Vince with me. I stayed up late one night watching the episode "Baby Herbert Arrives" and thanks to you I now have SO many great ideas for my own delivery:   1. My friends and family will need to have a Crump Style Dance Off in my hospital room to entertain me   2. I have to copy Tamar's quote "Ok, a contraction feel like a dinosaur kick you in the back while you havin a period cramp" - Dave will die when I bust that line out   3. "Girl, sit down. Have several" is my new favorite saying. Amazing. In case you're also pregnant and want to see an entertaining labor episode - you can watch the whole thing here.

Two...
Swooning over how awesome this monthly gift delivery for new moms and babies! How great would this be as a shower gift? The gift that keeps on giving! Love it! Dave - take note! A Little Bundle - if you're looking for someone to review your service - I'm here!

Three...
I can't think of anything that I want for Christmas that's not actually for the Little Mister. I have no desire for clothing of my own... what's the point? And I really just want everything off my registry.. that's normal right?

Four...
I'm obsessed with Plaid right now, it's like I've got a fever and the only prescription is more Plaid! I bought this scarf from Zara and it's got me itching for more!

Five...

The Wise Baby posted their list of the Best Baby Products of 2013 - I'm happy to see that many of the items we've already purchased or are on my registry! check it out here if you're interested!
