Obviously I've been a bit absent the last week on the blog and I'm sure you've been sitting on these awaiting the next post, right? I knew it. And I'm sorry...to be honest, I have no real spectacularly good excuse as to why I haven't been posting since we got back from Thanksgiving weekend in Orlando...I just plain haven't had anything to write about. And I most certainly didn't want to bore you with a lot of blah blah nothingness...I aim to please...even though I'm certain many a post of mine may have been a snore...but that's beside the point.
Blogging is a funny thing, you know. I read so many blogs regularly and I've been seeing all sorts of wonderful posts on Christmas decor {the kind that put me to shame}, Christmas party attire and Christmas wish lists. But who would I be kidding to bust out an extravagant Christmas list right now? I'm saving for a new baby, becoming a SAHM and to be honest, I've just been too busy and on the go to even sit down and think about anything I want this year. And forget about Christmas party attire! This growing bump is making just getting dressed for work a huge chore. Not to mention, this lady can't have any "Christmas Cheer" {read: alcohol}, so I doubt we'll be attending any Christmas parties this year. Don't I sound like a Scrooge? Bah, humbug.
No, but seriously, I love the holiday season. Not to sound too cliche, but there really is something magical about it. However, this year, with the pregnancy, I only mustered up the energy to get our tree up and decorate the mantel and a couple of console tables. Normally, I do lights and pretty garland outside on the porch, but all I can think about is how I'll be even bigger when it comes time to take it all down and ain't no prego got time fo' that. You're probably thinking, "duh, that's what your husband is for!" but seriously, he wouldn't do it right {am I right, ladies?} and I'm OCD to a fault. And to imagine how he would take it all down later and stuff it away without care just nearly sends me into convulsions. So the
Anyway, it's not all bad...I'm headed to NYC in a week from today! My mom and I are going for 5 days to enjoy some shopping and tourist-y fun. It will be my first time to the Big Apple and I'm so excited. So I guess I will create my Christmas wish list as I go and just purchase it along the way while I'm there! Unfortunately, due to my current medical condition, I won't be purchasing many clothing items, but I do plan to build up my boots, scarves and accessories collection! I can't wait to see this big, beautiful tree:
We plan on seeing the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular, and hopefully getting into the live audience of Live with Kelly & Michael. Can't wait to share about the trip with you when I get back!
I'm also excited for our upcoming gender reveal party! Maybe it's just me, but I'm really feeling it's a girl this time around...Hubby just thinks I'm in denial about having three boys...but we shall see. We find out in exactly two weeks from today! Speaking of pregnancy, I haven't shown you a bump update in a little while, unless you follow me on Instagram. Here I am the other day at just about 17 weeks {I am 17 weeks exactly today}:
My outfits are OK most days...I had to order some sweaters from Motherhood Maternity since I've never been pregnant in the winter before, at least not where I was showing. Above I'm wearing one of those sweaters, some black leggings from Forever 21 and my Minnetonka Moccassin boots. As you can see, I'm definitely progressing! Lord knows I will be on the Insanity workout train starting a month after delivery. I am not wasting any time getting back to feeling normal again!
Anyway, I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season thus far!
