happy friday to you! we've got a baby on the way...

helloooooo!

friday, friday… fridays have become particularly special to me, because every friday marks one weeks closer to baby. we are down to five weeks people.

FIVE WEEKS.

THIRTY FIVE DAYS!

my eyes are about as big as saucers when i think about it. NOT quite as big as when i read a few things about labor and delivery yesterday (oh boy) but big. today, i was going through posts on this blog from the past year & just thinking about what a miracle this whole “growing a little baby human” thing is! me… my body... i have nurtured & grown a miracle. it honestly is SO big, and i am amazed by it. it was also fun to see posts & remember times where husband and i knew that we had a little life getting started in my belly, but YOU all didn’t know! crazyyy y’all.

being pregnant has been so wonderful for me. aside from the whole emergency abdominal surgery thing, it really has been such a great experience. AND that shouldn’t happen with my next pregnancy, or ever for that matter, so we will just count it as a hiccup. part of the journey. i’m a hero… no big deal (i kid, i kid).  but really… i love feeling our little boy move around, i never feel alone & with every little move, i am constantly reminded that i am part of something bigger. i can’t even imagine what it will be like to NOT have him in there! i’m assuming strange, but i hear having him in your arms is even better.

so, five weeks folks.

maybe a little more, maybe a little less… this mama has felt that he’ll come early from the start, and people are starting to place their bets on arrival dates! what do you think???

BE

on friday my family… (well, part of it) and i went up to estes park for a day full of nothing.

life is so full.

full of good things, great things, not as great things, work, things to do, you name it. let me tell you… it was SO nice to put away ‘the list’ and just go and DO. we didn’t have an agenda, didn’t really pick a time to leave. just woke up, got ready & drove up to one of the most beautiful places you will visit. my family has been going to estes park for as long as i can remember. we have an annual trip in october that we go on & stay overnight in a cabin on the river. everyone is there & it’s pretty much the best time ever. this was just a quick day trip, but equally fulfilling. we hiked. it rained. we ate at our usual burger place. walked the town. just spent time.

more than anything it got me SO excited for our trip in a few weeks! anyhow. take time this week to do nothing. no phone. no internet. no distractions. just BE. it’s great :)

happy monday!

confession.

confession: i have a bad habit of going grunge.

i don't mean rocker chic... i mean, sweats & a t-shirt.

chris and i are both guilty.

i usually wake up in the mornings & either go to yoga or start working on Project Love. By the time I am finished, there is only a short amount of time before I leave for dance. so i have this wonderful closet full of clothes that i love, but feel silly getting all dolled up for an hour or two at the house, before getting back into sweats to teach! weird... i know. i love to be comfy & feel SO blessed that I get to go to work wearing the most comfortable outfit... NOT complaining :)

however, being home in Colorado has been SO nice! No work, so I have been able to play dress up the whole time we've been home! LOV-ING it! Since, this seems to be a more rare occurence, obviously I have been taking pictures! Husband even let me take a few of him too!

jacket, dress, & leg warmers: thrifted

tights: tj maxx

headband: vines vintage

boots: forever 21

winter wonderland.
