happy shopping! xo

full term, baby

life has been busy...and by busy i mean crazy, filled with many sleepless nights worrying about my little bean and if he is growing. t and i have had some ultrasound scares, but thankfully we got great news on wednesday that this boy is healthy and right on track. 6 pounds, 4 ounces at 37 weeks - we are thrilled. we went from having our bags packed, ready to meet our boy on thanksgiving to full relief of knowing bean can come when he wants. personally, i think he is quite comfy in there and i will have to get induced after my due date. momma birthday prediction: december 16. and we all know, momma knows best.

it feels great to be full term and know that when he comes he will be a nice big boy, ready to breathe on his own and come home with us to see his room!

t and i both attended the university of delaware and live relatively close to campus. we try to avoid the area when school is in session (mostly because it's hectic and parking is rare, but also the older we get, the younger the students get), but after our awesome news on wednesday we decided to wake up early on thanksgiving and take some pictures of this belly on campus. it was beautiful! we could not have asked for better weather. here are some of my favorites.

ok buddy, we are ready to meet you. come on out :)

bright side sunday

cheers to a productive weekend. don't you love when you can sit down on the couch after a long day and feel accomplished (opposed to when i usually just feel like a bum).

here is what is making me smile as the weekend comes to an end:

it's fall! bring on the mild weather and big chunky sweaters! fingers crossed that i pass my three hour glucose test so i can indulge in these pumpkin cream cheese muffins.

my inspiration for bean's room (thanks, lay baby lay)
i will post pictures as we make progress. right now it's a giant pile of baby gear.

the most beautiful handmade costumes for babies - i mean, really? the mermaid! it's just too much and kind of makes me wish that bean was here for halloween this year... boys can be mermaids, right?

wearing this dress to a party (and not feeling incredible huge, nice!)

this precious organic little mouse onsie - new at magpie lovely. makes me smile.

hope you all have a good week!
