outfit details: sweater/gray flats/gray tank/coral tank, target | skinny jeans, motherhood maternity

Yesterday was such a fun day, I can hardly believe how much happiness was further infused into my day — just because of the fun adventure we went on. Since Zack works out of the home, and I work in the home, our weekends are often a delicate balance of stay in/go out. What we both want is usually the opposite of each other, but we work hard to make sure our “happiness tanks” are full :) So yesterday we spent the morning relaxing at home, opened a couple boxes of baby shower presents, and then headed out for the afternoon. We drove down to Venice and had so much fun walking the streets near the ocean. A couple blocks up were some amazing, AMAZING shops + I’m super excited to share what I found with you soon :) Then we grabbed a late lunch at this super tasty pizza joint. We even smooched a few times, don’t tell ;)

The weather was beautiful and there we were, holding hands, I was giggling, Zack was sneaking glances at me. It was such a fun little afternoon date. It felt so great to be outside + walk. I’m finding at 31 weeks I’m sore + stiff often, so the afternoon out was just perfect. Even more shirts are having to go in the “does not fit” rubbermaid tub, they just aren’t long enough anymore. Seems like baby has really long legs because little feet are making their self cozy near my ribs :)

I’m STILL going crazy over the fruit cravings. And ice, I cannot get enough ice. Bauer has kicked up his protectiveness + insists on laying THIS.CLOSE.TO.ME on the couch. Or at my feet if I’m at my desk. When we were going through our baby shower gifts yesterday morning he would have gotten IN the box if we let him. We showed him a few of the toys/rattles and the blankets, and whenever he tried to bite them we told him sternly “no”. I have a feeling he’ll try to snatch a toy or paci once baby is here, and I’m sure he’ll successfully sneak off with one at least once! hehe

Things we still need to do: buy a dresser for baby, wash a couple loads with Dreft {aww!}, buy frames + hang some more art on the walls, and then finish shopping off our registry sometime next month for clothing {cotton hats, socks + pants}, swaddle blankets, diapers/wipes + a couple nursing items.

My parents bought their plane tickets for March and in less than two months they’ll be here with us!!! It’s going to be so great. It’ll be the best celebration ever :)

Happy happy Sunday! xoxo
