Our Last Christmas…

We’re celebrating our last Christmas as non-parents this weekend. We plan to hit up a local favorite restaurant and exchange gifts – which I have still yet to buy. Nothin’ like the last minute right?!

I expect we’ll spend the rest of the evening snuggling with Larry on the couch and be in bed by 10:30 PM. I can’t think of a more perfect way to end the year. Especially since these types of nights will NEVER exist once baby comes.

Life is starting to hit me between the eyes. Time’s flyyying. Our baby shower is 3.5 weeks away and my maternity leave will follow two weeks after that! Which is weird to say because I work for myself.

When I invision myself being a mom, I cannot WAIT to just push the stroller around the neighborhood in yoga pants. Haha – I see all the other moms doing it!

Another big question mark is what will my parenting style be? I once heard your children are born as smart as they are so just focus on making them kind and compassionate. Haha! How do we feel about that strategy? Honestly, sounds good to me!

Now that I’m full blown pregnant, I feel like I have a hold of my maternity style. Tip: it’s all about the boob and stomach definition. {Here’s a whole post on how to dress your bump and what worked for me!}. Pregnancy style is WAAAAAAAY harder than I dreamed it would be.

Speaking of style, I got this velvet jumpsuit a few weeks ago and have worn it three times already! It’s non-maternity. I love how warm and comfy I feel but dressed up at the same time. Fun story – my tweed jacket is from our wedding day!

And so random, but this Winky Lux Flower Lip Balm is the beeeesttt. It’s clear but turns pink according to your pH level. So it’s the perfect color on everyone! You guys were obsessed with it from my gift guide too.

All right, enough with the rambling. Off to dinner with a girlfriend I haven’t seen in awhile! Happy almost Friday friends.
