Catching Up

Well, hello there dumplings! 

We have been busy up in herrr.

All good things.

Well, except for this recipe

{disclaimer, I know some of you raved about it, but it just wasn't our cup of tea}
I am SO sorry that I told any of you to make it...

Hubs usually loves my cooking.
I threw it in the slow cooker before running off to my MIL's to sew.
I thought it'd be perfect to come home to eat!
He didn't even finish it.
He said it tasted like cat food.
I had to agree, and fed the rest of it to the dogs.
[since I had used expensive organic pork chops, I could not throw it away]
Very salty and just not good.
The dogs ate it, but then again they eat anything..
Toilet paper off the roll??? 
OH well.
I guess this is what happens when you pretend to be Giada in the kitchen.

I've tried to redeem myself with a semi-homemade chicken pot pie:

 {I started slicing and realized I needed a pic!}
It was excellent, I should have not added onions, as I did burp them up all night...

I so badly wanted to sport heels, but without my husband's arm for security,
I figured it was not worth the potential tumble, as my balance is a bit...off.
I did switch out my flat riding boots for a pair of heeled boots
as we went out Saturday night to a comedy club.
I bought hubby tickets for his birthday.
We saw

He was entirely inappropriate and very funny.
We laughed our white booties off,
and were home in pajamas by 10.
It was perfect night out!
Another OOTD
I was super excited to wear an entire outfit, NON maternity!!

Everything I am wearing here, I bought in Europe on our honeymoon.
Yay for stretchiness.
And no, I cannot see my toes any more.
I am wearing the pretty necklace I won in the beautiful Rachel's giveaway!

Brooke's nursery is really coming together!

Just another teaser for you, til our big reveal.
I began packing her diaper bag for the hospital...

Just a few onesies, sleepers, an outfit, hats, & socks...

And this in case her umbilical cord is rubbing on a onesie,

a cute white side snap long sleeve tee

and black leggings:

We scheduled our maternity photoshoot for November, 

which comes free with her newborn photo sesh to be done the weekend she comes home.

My sweet mom sent me this for her!!

{speaking of, she just had surgery, so send her some speedy recovery wishes}

Should be a fun little get-up for her!!

I have been wanting a headband like this!

She also threw in a little window sign for daddy

My current obsession?
Researching everything and anything I can about cloth diapering.

It seems to be a new obsession each week.

One week breastfeeding.

Another, the 5 "s" to a happy sleepy baby.

Now? I want to cloth diaper.

I am confident we can at least try it and I'll explain more in other posts.

My first purchase came from Amazon:
Fuzzibunz.

I've been watching a ton of Vlogs and I am finding myself watching more on You Tube

than the boob tube.

Do any of you find yourselves doing that??

It's also making me want to record more videos, as I am going to want to relive these

precious moments forever.

Less than 11 weeks, and our little bean will be here! 

Hope you had a healthy & relaxing weekend.
