27 Weeks

I've really tried not to shop for clothes during this pregnancy, as I received a lot of donated/loaned maternity clothes. However, I've been dying for some maxi dresses. Makes it easier for those days I don't want to shave :)

Fur Baby Friday

This is my second time participating in Fur Baby Friday!




As I mentioned before, Truffle is a rescue dog. His first mom adopted him from a Central Florida rescue organization when he was around 9 weeks old ( I think). When she got pregnant, she decided to give him away to a family that could provide a little better for him, which is when he joined our family.

As I have grown in pregnancy, I've noticed that Truffle has started to get more clingy. He follows me to the bathroom and waits by the door until I come out. He will follow me around the house too. I think that he may be afraid of having to leave again based on what happened before.

Of course, this is NOT an option. Truffle is a member of our family and will continue to be so after our baby is born. We know things will change but we are 100% dedicated to Truffle. We have been showering Truffle with attention whenever we can. The nursery used to be Truffle's room. He is definitely noticing the transition! However he has been enjoying his crate as we wanted him to have a place of his own.

Any tips on helping Truffle as we prepare for our baby's arrival?

25 weeks!

Yup, still squeezing the life out of my pre-pregnancy wardrobe!

Nautical Baby Finds

Yesterday, I went to my first kids consignment sale. I prepared in advance by picking the brains of some of my favorite tweeps. I also read this timely and helpful post from Melissa at I Pick Pretty. I attended with my good friend, S, who is a pro at these sales. She has two boys of her own and was so helpful in helping me pick out items!

The inventory was carefully selected. We saw items from Baby Gap, Ralph Lauren, Mudpie, Le Top, Wally & Willie, Mini Boden, and more. Many items still had tags on them.

I love nautical themed items, so I was thrilled when I found many adorable nautical pieces (ranging from 3 months to 12 months). Here are some of my finds!



The sale also had a fabric section, where I found this adorable nautical print that my mom thinks we can make into a crib skirt.



The consignment sale appeals to me for so many reasons. First, it is a great way to score higher end baby clothes at a better price. Second, I love the hunt!

I had a blast. Anyone else have more fun shopping for their kids than themselves?
