WHAT a productive weekend. I can’t remember the last time we had such limited plans as we did this weekend. A couple of dinners with friends and voila! The house is clean, the Christmas stuff is officially organized and stored away, and I have THREE blog posts written and scheduled. I am savoring this “my ish is so together” feeling because I know as soon as Monday morning hits, it will be g-o-n-e. Bring on more work training, lots of cheer practices, and the many appointments that will make up this week!
It has been a while since I’ve done a Life Lately (aka iPhone photo dump) post so forgive me for talking about NYE on Jan. 18th, but that’s just how we roll around here!
We rang in the new year with our besties and Godson. Well, that’s not exactly true – they left around 10:30 and I went straight to sleep. But before that we celebrated with our favorite Chinese food (picture is of G’s dad introducing him to the deliciousness of crab ran goon) , sparkling juice for me, and making fun of the crazy people on the Rockin NYE/Ryan Seacrest special. And sleep. #amen
We have had some truly crazy weather in Southern Indiana so far this winter. I’m talking, it was 60+ degrees on Christmas day. INSANE. We finally got our first snow last weekend and even though it’s all gone now (and was 60 degrees one day this week) they are saying we could get up to eight inches by midweek so that’s just…obviously more than necessary. Also, is there anything cuter than a snow-covered pup?
Packing up Christmas is always super depressing but seeing Camden’s name on our Pottery Barn stockings made me so excited thinking about how different our life will be with a seven month old next Christmas!
Easing the after Christmas, “Wah our house is so empty” feeling by adding a few Valentine’s Day touches here and there. I’m pretty sure these gold letters were from a failed (uncompleted) DIY because I know I made them myself using stuff from Hobby Lobby. Is anyone else actually terrible at finishing DIY projects? Don’t ask me about our IKEA side tables that have been waiting in our garage for more than a year to be painted. My husband does that enough already 
Ya’ll, God Bless the chiropractor. I’ve had lower back pain since almost day one of this pregnancy and I swear, it has done wonders! I’m planning on doing a whole post about why I believe in the chiropractor so much (uhh because it works) and why I feel like it’s so important to your pregnancy very soon but if you have any questions about it now please let me know! P.S. I still can not believe that stomach/bump is my own sometimes!!
Speaking of bumps, Percy has been OBSESSED with cuddling with the bump lately. It’s like his own built-in pillow or something. I don’t know, but it is the most precious thing ever and I’m obsessed with taking pictures of it.
Lastly, do you think our son is destined to be an Orioles fan? He had a very Orioles themed Christmas, that’s for sure! That is actually only one of the two of those onesies people gave us, lol! He is growing quite the wardrobe already thanks all the people that already love him so much, that’s for sure.
Oh man, this was a baby-heavy post. I hope you all don’t mind! Can’t wait to catch up with you all today! Linking up with Biana, Erin, Katie, and Christine.
