I was looking through the ol' blog archives a few days ago, when I realized that my 2 year blog anniversary was coming up in the next couple months. Being the sentimental fool that I am, I decided that I must commemorate this momentous occasion with a series of giveaways.

Sooooo... we're going to start things off with a $50 amazon gift card. We LOVE amazon at our house. We have amazon prime, and we absolutely love the free 2 day shipping and all the other perks that come with it.

Here's how you enter:

The end.

Justin told me this weekend that he thinks he's "nesting". He's been cleaning everything, and wants to do one final purge of the house before the baby comes. This man is too adorable you guys.

He also spent about 20 minutes Friday night chatting about birthing and breastfeeding with me and a couple of my girlfriends. He brings me my prenatal every night before bed. In the car this weekend, he kept asking me to sing for him and the baby, AND he made sure we were ready on time and dropped me off to prenatal yoga Saturday morning.

And my favorite, he looked up a bunch of reviews online, and went and got "the best" baby book from the library. And he brought it to work to read on his downtime.

Adorable. Amazing. While I've still kind of been in denial about this whole birthing/baby thing, I am so grateful for Justin and all he has done to help prepare us both.

This blouse has been on constant repeat the last few weeks. Dressing to accommodate my "fun" new shape has been a bit of a challenge. I find myself asking two main questions now when I get dressed:

1- Can I do it up over/under my belly?
2- Does it fit over my boobs?

Yes. Very glamours. This shirt happens to meet both criteria with the added benefit of being kinda cute, plus its made from a material that won' stretch out too much, so I don't feel as guilty wearing it.

Oh all the fun new discoveries I'm making. :)

This is what happens when you style your hair "rocker" style the day before, but wake up too late to take a shower (yes I know I am so gross). But honestly, does anyone shower every day? You don't have to answer that question. I know I'm not going to.

Its been a rather long, not entirely pleasant day. Lucky for me, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And by light I mean that handsome guy (and ice cream). And by tunnel I mean the road between my work and home. Not to say that he is a magician or anything (despite what people might think), but he is my bestie, and therefore I like him mucho much. 

Slash, I cooked an amazing meal. 

Two nights in a row. 

Which means he is pretty much completely in love with me right now. 

Which is sorta nice.

brights and stripes.

I think I need a new hobby. Without homework to do, I have nothing to make me feel guilty for not doing it. So now I spend way too much time watching sitcoms that border on soap operas, and reading adolescent fiction. I can almost feel my mind turning to mush.

So I'm open for any suggestions! What cheap hobbies do you lovelies fill your time with?

In other news, I love this skirt! It feels a bit tight around the belly and butt areas, which makes me feel slightly self conscious, but I love the length. I think I would like it a bit better with a long necklace or some bangles,  but the colors and stripes are my favorite!

ps. I am so so soooo excited to be guest posting on Elaine's blog today, talking about my thoughts on modesty, and how to make it your own! Make sure you check it out and share your thoughts!
