Lately..

The last 2 weeks has been a whirlwind of b-day dinners, baby shower, and a business trip to LA.  I had a great time catching up with my fam and friends but glad to be back home.

Visiting my dear friend's baby girl!

 My belly is growing by the day and I'm feeling the baby kick more regularly.  I've been reading that I should start singing to my baby so he can recognize my voice.  I don't normally consider myself to be overly self conscious but when it comes to singing in public, I cower in fear.  I need to get over myself and realize that my baby won't hold my singing against me. I'm thinking he won't know the difference between a singing nightingale or a quacking duck at this point, right? With that said.. ** clears throats** meme meme Mee..

Last Birthday as a free Woman!

Okay..so that sounds a bit dramatic but I do feel like a significant part of my life will be forever changed the second my baby is born into this world. 

On one end, I'm thinking to myself no more last minute trips to Napa with the hubby, no more weekend trips to LA to celebrate a friend's b-day party/bachelorette party, and most importantly no more planning carefree adventures out of the country.

On the flip side, I cannot wait to meet this little person that is constantly karate chopping my tummy and doing somersaults!  He must definitely take after his dad.

So back to my b-day... It was my 29th and I celebrated with close friends in the city for dinner and drinks (gingerale for me) after wards.

For my b-day gift, C, A, & S joined forces to contribute to my diaper bag fund.  Although I'd love to splurge on a beautiful high end tote that acts as a diaper bag, Arnold put the kibosh on that idea quickly and gave me a tight budget.  Within the budget, my sis found an adorable one for me. Too bad it's sold out everywhere.  If anyone happens to see this bag please holler!

For Arnold's gift to me, I picked it out myself..again and  just had to stay within a certain budget.  My friend works in PR at Tory Burch and is able to hook me up with an amazing discount. With my upcoming babymoon (Maui) in mind,  here are the goodies that I snatched:
Color Block Scarf
Tumbled Leather Sandals- Equestrian Orange
I cannot waittt to get away.  I'll be over 7 months pregnant but nonetheless excited to lay out and bask in the sun and slurp on some pina coladas..virgin of course!
