We find out next week if the baby is a girl or a boy (!!!!!!!!) and all I can say is that if it is a girl, then my Christmas list this year consists of one thing: Zara Kids gift cards.

I mean, skinny leg pink cords? Come on! Speaking of cute clothes, did you see this little cutie’s fall wardrobe? Adorable!

I love how this calendar is being displayed.

(I’m running out of spots to take these and we are only halfway there! I had to move furniture to stand in this spot. Light furniture, of course)

-I skipped week 18 because it looked a lot like week 17. Big week 18 step: I felt the baby move! At least, I think it was the baby. It is just these weird bubbles every now and then which is apparently what the first movements feel like.

- The baby is almost half a pound now and the size of a softball (or an heirloom tomato according to Baby Center).

- Still no crazy symptoms, just hungry. I have my energy back which means I can stay up till 10 PM! woo hoo! I have been getting really tight in the lower belly region which makes me think that this stomach is just gonna keep on growing!

- And although I was trying to wait as long as possible to buy maternity clothes… I now own a maternity pencil skirt (shown above, from Destination Maternity), 2 pairs of black maternity work pants (one from Target and then some super cute ones from Gap), and my maternity jeans that I splurged on (still totally worth it). It seems my waist was the first thing to go and literally none of my pre-pregnancy bottoms fit anymore.

- I have been more emotional these past two weeks. The other day I was watching Say Yes to the Dress while washing the dishes and started full on crying after one bride found her dress. I also started tearing up today in Target after seeing a mom lose her daughter in the store and then find her again. I cry easily anyways so I fear this is just going to get worse.

- Speaking of feelings, I continue to just feel so blessed for where I am in life right now. Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be married and having kids. And here I am, 26, newly married and pregnant. God is good, and has blessed me with this little family of mine. We continue to pray that little baby Harney will be healthy, which we will know more about next week at my 20 week ultrasound. We will also be finding out the sex, if the little thing cooperates! I feel like I am so excited to know the sex that it is going to keep those legs closed just to spite me. OR we will find out, start shopping and doing the nursery, and then find out later that the ultrasound was wrong! Oh man that would suck. I wonder how often that happens…

-Yay 19 weeks!

Gold fabric hearts + pieces of tulle + silver thread = a handmade engagement card for my friend Natalie.

So the day after I posted this inspiration post, I came home to find this waiting outside for me!

My mom is where I get all of my creativity from, as you can see. She had all of the components already and just whipped this up. Love it!

Who knew TOMS had a wedding collection?

I still love looking at wedding blogs because sometimes they give you great ideas for home decoration. I am loving these vases and mason jars wrapped in twine.

(from my recent trip to Scotland)

I want this room and all of the sunshine that comes with it.

I am going to have to save this for, um, let’s say at least 5 months from now.
