I hope everyone has a had a good week...

now you see it...

 No baby.
Big baby.
First time wearing heels in 12 weeks! It felt pretty good.
This skirt is actually a royal blue...and I love these colors.  
And what's up with the bags? I cleaned out my closet...3 bags going to be consigned or given 
to goodwill.  More room for baby!!

Peace, love and belly-

nice rainbow

I got lots of sweet comments on this dress today. One comment I never would have thought about was "Hey, nice rainbow! G-Pride" I seriously couldn't help but laugh. Speaking of laughing, my husband took me to Braum's on Sunday because I told him I wanted a banana split. (Braum's is a dairy/ice cream store in the South/Texas) Lo and behold, we get there and banana splits are ON SALE...score! He told the poor HS kid on the counter he wanted a "deluxe banana split," because that is what the picture said behind the counter. The kid stared at the picture...and stared...and kept looking at it...and then asked my husband, "Uh...do you know what goes on a deluxe banana split?" And...then I came to the rescue and told my husband and the boy he didn't know his banana splits because we just wanted the normal banana split. Have you had enough of my story yet? Then I preceded to laugh completely hysterically for at least 5 minutes. Tears and everything. I couldn't even get a grip. Y'all, pregnancy makes you cray-cray!!

neon, neon

any old school john mayer fans out there?
when i say old school, i mean about 2002.
his first album had a song called "neon".
i just so happened to drive a dodge neon in high school.
so that worked out rather well for me.

a nice break

I'm playing catch up still from the four day weekend. It was amazing to just lounge around the house, catch up with friends and family, and just really kick back and enjoy four days.
If you read Leah's earlier post, I was so lucky to get to spend time with her and another lovely, Daisy. We got to go to Kendi's store and it was a fun time!

Ok, so I know the picture is dark. Let's just be real here. It was after 5. I'd worked all day. Be glad I even had shoes still on
Crazy though, that in 20 weeks--there will be a baby in that thing.

polka, polka, polka!

as you all know by now, i'm a big fan of a colored pant.
i am also a big fan of a patterned pant:

let me just tell you

I am just sitting around the house killing some time until my flight tonight to Dallas.
This might be one of the last times (hoping for at least one more!) I make it to those parts before the baby is born...which is just so crazy to even think of.
I am off Friday and Monday so it is a super exciting weekend for me to see family and FRIENDS.
I haven't done any baby shopping at all so I am hoping to look around at some places and get some things done.
We had our 4D sonogram on Monday and it is amazing to see what the baby looks like.
Happy Easter/Holiday Weekend Y'all!!

don't judge me for not having shoes on.

I told the kids I would wear blue if it was a boy and pink if it was a girl...so I had to throw them off just a little bit!

what's been up?

Oh not much going on here, just growing a baby and all.

You don't even want to know where my clothes are from...maternity clothes! BOO! Regular clothes just weren't making the cut anymore. I do have some pretty cute dresses that I will bust out soon since Old Navy was having a killer sale online.

I did read this great post at Cup of Jo on a new maternity line I'll have to check out. One thing is for sure, I'm not getting any smaller!

I had my 3D ultrasound today and we got some super sweet pics of the face. I am lucky...2nd trimester is amazing and I have been feeling a million times better--still little things here and there, but nothing major. I am SUPER excited x a million to go to Dallas this weekend to see friends and family...badly needed vacay, and my vacation days are pretty limited!

Word!
