#NSale Preggo Style

I LOVE this top that I recently bought during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (#nsale)!  I was saving the stuff I bought for post-preggo work clothes, however, this shirt was perfect coverage for this 9 month belly.  I love how soft it is and even more so the price!  At only $15.90 during the sale, it is too good to pass up!

The Final Countdown

I'm in the last few days of this pregnancy and can't believe how fast time flew by.  Lucas celebrated his third birthday yesterday and I'm in shock that I have a three year old.  I decided to start my maternity leave before giving birth this time so that I can soak up some time with my only baby and nest some more.  It's weird not having to go into the office and work since I worked all though my last maternity leave and worked right up until the day I was induced.  I definitely could use this little bit of time off though.

So I decided to turn my Louis Vuitton Baggy Denim GM bag into a crossbody bag.  I prefer crossbody bags anyhow but I intend to use this bag as an everyday/diaper bag.  I know I sound like an a$$hole wanting to use a Louis Vuitton bag as a diaper bag but this time around, I will not pack 50 million things with me to just go to Target with the baby.  Seriously, with Lucas, I packed this diaper bag so much I looked ridiculous.  No one needs 6 onesies, 20 diapers, 5 bottles, toys, etc. just to run one errand...but that and more is what I packed with Lucas.  Once I learned to only carry the necessities, I was able to start using my pre-baby handbags.  That is my intention with this bag for it to carry the necessities and necessities only.  I'm planning on doing a post on what I carry in my bag since I did purchase organizational items to keep me in check - necessities only!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchase

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  I'm sure you fashionistas are well aware that the best shopping day of the year started yesterday...the Nordstrom Anniversary sale (#Nsale)!  If you have a Nordstrom card or have your debit card linked, you can shop early access or else the sale becomes available to everyone on July 22 and lasts until August 7.

Instead of sharing some of my favorite picks, I thought I'd be honest and tell you what I actually purchased.  I also bought something for my sister who has a birthday coming up but I didn't include that in the picks below.  I started the morning with my cart completely full but narrowed it down to the items below.  I wanted to purchase shoes but since I'm having tons of swelling right now, I think I'll need to wait until a couple weeks post-partum to try new shoes on.  So I didn't go completely crazy but I'm happy with what I narrowed my list down to.  Let me know if you shopped the sale this year!

The Flippin' Weekend

What is this?  What is this?  Yep, a weekend where I actually put makeup on my face and clothes other than sweats!  Anytime that I manage to brush my hair on a weekend is a win for me.  This time, I went to my friend's sip and see and for those of you not in the South, sip and see's are common baby shower type parties thrown after the baby is born so you can "sip" (usually wine or champagne) and "see" the baby.  Don't worry, there was no "sipping" for me this time.  As I held my friend's sweet baby boy, I wondered if caring for a newborn would just come back to me.  With my first, a lot of trial and error so I'm hoping for the second time around, things will be easier?  Well, as easy as caring for a newborn and threenager can be...pray for me!

These Tired Eyes

I only have a few short weeks until my baby girl makes her arrival and as exhausted as I look in these photos, is it weird that I'm going to miss my bump?  And as much complaining as I've done throughout this pregnancy, is it weird that I'm going to miss being pregnant?  I'm pretty sure that this baby will complete our family so as uncomfortable as I feel right now, I'm trying to savor each moment.  My husband and I were talking about how fast this pregnancy went.  My pregnancy with my son felt like it was two years long since all we did was talk about the baby, baby, baby.  Now, with a very active two year old, full time jobs, decorating our new home, dealing with our son's schedule, blah blah blah, it was like I was pregnant and now she's almost here.  Time is such a crazy thing.  Needless to say, I'm going to try to take some extra days off so that I can enjoy this short time as a family of three and appreciate where we are in life right now.

When Time Flies

I know I have been saying this a lot but holy moly is time not only flying but busy does not even begin to describe what I am.  Last week was a trial week and if I wasn't working on the case at night, I was in bed by 8:30 p.m. because I was exhausted and had to be up early.  Then July somehow rolled around...how did that happen?!  How is it already baby girl's birth month?!?!?!?!?!?!  During the long weekend, we finally finished baby girl's nursery but I still have a list of things that I hope to get done before she's born.  This pregnancy just flew by!
