On the last Wednesday of every month I'll be linking up with Shay to answer these questions:
1. What we're eating this week...
We didn't get to do our weekly grocery run this week, so we're eating whatever leftovers we have in the house. Last night, my friend Mariseli, made an amazing chicken and rice soup. I found a similar recipe here. I also feel like I have been eating EVERYTHING in sight lately, as baby girl continues to grow and I'm in my last few weeks of the pregnancy, I am hungry ALL THE TIME!
2. What I'm reminiscing about...
Our last trip to Vegas, and my last real vacation. Since then, I've been saving up all of my time off to prepare for maternity leave.
At the Neon Graveyard - November 2015
I've also been thinking about how much fun I had at my baby sprinkle. All of my friends made me feel so loved, and we had a great time. Thanks to mom for hosting the event, and all the hard work she put into it, and her fudge - YUM! Also thanks to Lindsay and Jen for all of their efforts in planning, and to Haley for her amazing cupcakes!
3. What I'm loving...
Spending all the time that I can with this precious boy while he's still my only kid.
4. What we've been up to...
Trying to get everything ready for the baby's arrival. Getting the carpets cleaned, pest control taken care of, and working on the nursery. Here's a sneak peak of the room. This is all that I can show you, because that's all we have. Some of our old office stuff is still on the walls, there are no curtains, and no wall decorations :( I know it will all come together, just not before she arrives. (I'm just happy that the crib is put together, and we have the walls painted, with one accent purple wall)
5. What I'm dreading...
Lack of sleep. I need sleep! I'm not really sleeping to well now, being uncomfortable from the last stages of pregnancy, but I remember those first few weeks with Vincent feeling like a zombie, and I'm really not looking forward to going through that again. I'm taking all the naps and trying to get as much sleep as I can to rest up for her arrival.
6. What I'm working on...
Planning my BFF's Bridal Shower. I'm so excited for all of the things happening in her life this year, and I just want to make everything super special. Any fun things or games you've played at showers, please let me know :)

7. What I'm excited about...
Seeing Mike like this with our daughter. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time, and I just can't wait for him to hold his daughter for the first time, since I've been carrying her around for the last 9 months. He's the best dad to my children that I could have ever wished for, and I know this little princess will have him wrapped around her fingers as soon as she makes her entrance into this world.

8. What I'm watching/reading...
Currently obsessed with the Bachelor and all of my regular HGTV programs. I honestly haven't had much time for reading, watching tv, or blogging lately...I feel like we've been so busy. Being involved in a Bachelor fantasy league makes watching that show that much more fun!
9. What I'm listening to...
The ABCs! Vincent has started to learn them at school and I ask them to sing them for me almost every day. He's not quite there yet, but I love this age that he's at, and how much he learns and changes every day! It's so amazing to watch, and of course as his mom, I'm so proud.
10. What I'm wearing...
Anything that fits! I feel like as I near the end of my pregnancy, even my maternity clothes don't fit. I'd rather be in sweatpants and an over-sized t-shirt for the next two weeks and never have to get dressed!
11. What I'm doing this weekend...
Teaching my last yoga class at Green Locus Yoga before I go out on maternity leave. I have been teaching Gentle Yoga on Saturdays at 10:30 and have really gotten to enjoy that class and the regular students that come.
12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
Becoming a mom of 2!!! I still can't believe that she is almost here, and I have probably underestimated all of the feelings that I'll be going through the next few weeks. I just can't wait to see what she looks like, and watch her big brother get to meet her for the first time!
13. What else is new...
We're working on adding an enclosure to our house, creating a new office for Mike and I to use when we work from home. The old office is now the baby girl's room, so half of our office is in our garage and the other half is in my bedroom. Today they took out the kitchen window, progress is happening...finally. Although, I am 100% sure that this project that we thought wouldn't be so complicated, will still be going on when we bring baby home. Not ideal, but we're living with it.
I look forward to these posts throughout the year. Let me know if you have any feedback or any other things you'd like to see from me!
