She's A Growing!!

 Shoes - Target    Dress - Old Navy    Bag - Via Hautelook    Earrings - not sure (super old)    Necklace - F21

 

Well, I think I have not really understood the reality that I am PREGNANT till I saw these photos .... that little babe in there is sure growing!!!  These here are not only the very first outfits photos that I have probably posted in a year but the also are my very first preggo photos!!!!  I have been pretty determined not to buy maternity clothes unless they are absolutely necessary ( I got myself some maternity jeans the other day that are sure hard to get used to!!) and I think I have been pretty successful so far.   The one place that I have had a lot of success has been Old Navy ... anything that has stretch to it has been the way to go and I think I have a few different versions of this here dress!!

Somethings Happened

Well, this is what happened .... we are pregnant!!  Now I do realize that is has been a million years since I have posted anything on this here blog but lately it is all I have been thinking about!!!  I even had a dream the other night so I figured .... why not get back into it .... right?!?!  Now I am not sure how much I will be back or what being "back" really means but hey, something is better than nothing!!

As for the pregnancy, we are 25 weeks preggo this weekend!!!  Things have been going good (well, other than my first trimester being super sick) and we are super super happy!!  Zack and I did this birth announcement when we got past our first trimester to share with the world and I figured it was time to share with you all .... that is even if anyone still comes around here anymore .....

We had a lot of questions on this announcement ... we did it ourselves with a tripod and timer .... it took a whole 5 minutes!!  And yes ... that is mainly what I was eating through my first trimester ... sad but true!!

I am not sure if you can see this in these photos but, my legs look super long ... and for a 5'5 gal like me that is awesome!!  I think this is the one and only time that I appreciate a wide angle lens.  You see, we were shooting some room shots from our last event and were just too darn lazy and in too big of a rush to switch lens ... and this was the outcome ... awesome!!

 The weather around here has still been pretty darn hot!!  Gotta love living in Southern California! So with that being said, I have been wearing nothing but light little dresses and trying to stay cool ... nothing worth blogging about.  Other then that, I got a root canal redone yesterday ( so fun) and it seems to be doing well ... so maybe next week will be full with a bunch of outfit posts ... we'll see.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Thanks to everyone who gave me some great advice on my last post ... getting older kinda sucks sometimes!! Other than that this is what I figured out ... how to wear this necklace!!! I purchased it a while back and have been trying to style it with so many of my outfits but it just never felt right.  Until now, I really like how this outfit worked with it ... what do you think?? How else would you style this necklace?

I am not sure what the heck is happening to my legs these days, but there is definitely  some change happening .... and in "change" I mean VEINS!!!  Things are starting to pop out where they just shouldn't.  I am 32 years old ( I almost just forgot my age) and haven't seen this yet but it is for sure a problem!!  What the heck do I do?!?!?  Have any of you ever had a problem with big scarey veins in your legs ... if so what did you do?? I want to hear all about it!!

Our little mini working vacay to Santa Barbara was an amazing time!!  Not only was our little cottage that we rented super cute and in a relatively good location we had a blast riding our beach cruisers around and wine tasting.  The Urban Wine Trail was one of the best things I have ever done ... some of the wineries that have larger tasting rooms and vineyards up in the hills have decided to also have one in the more industrial area known as the "Funk Zone" just off State street.  It was super hot out but we loved every minute of being in Santa Barbara!
