Decisions, decisions

Hello Hello! So here’s what’s going on in my neck of the woods- this past week I was asked to move full-time for the next few weeks in order to complete an anxiety curriculum for our Intensive Outpatient program. It needs to be done on Monday (yikes!) but I’ve been able to complete all but one class. In the meantime I’ve been working with Natasha on some wedding details.
You’ll be glad to know she’s made some breathtaking decisions. She chose this garter to keep and is buying a cheaper garter to throw. She and Bart have also decided to use a kissing ball for the flower girl, a pillow for the ring-bearer, a vintage style suitcase for the cards and this advice book for the sage advice.

It’s really coming together! I’m so excited for their big day, but there’s definitely some more organizational work required and it’s not exactly the kind that’s fun to share- unless you all would like to see schedules and lists. I thought not. OH! Also- we snagged an amazing Groupon for Faboo cakes which allowed us to get a totally awesome, fiscally conservative custom wedding cake. SCORE! They were so super nice too and allowed Natasha to use the Groupon for her November wedding, a month before they had allowed in the fine print. Kind people are the best kind of people to work with.
I’ve been checking out some custom/fun wineglasses for possible bridesmaid gifts and I really love the whole Lolita line. I’ve gotten one before and they are just so cool! However, Wine Diva also rocks. I’m throwing a Halloween party at the end of October and I’m thinking about giving away either a Halloween pilsner and/or wine glass to the best dressed. Maybe I’ll do a wine glass for the best-dressed female and a pilsner for the best-dressed male? Okay- back on track. My last suggestion for adorable wine glass gifts- anything from the WINEGLASSESDECORATED Etsy store. The owner is super-nice and really her handiwork is impeccable.

My to-do’s this week? Find a rehearsal dinner location. I’ve got a few ideas in mind but if you have had or have seen an awesome Nashville rehearsal dinner- please let me know! I love suggestions.
Lastly- I’ve been working on my photography some and I feel like it’s time to start sharing! We got a tripod yesterday so Josh and I ran out to take some quick family photos. Here’s my favorite of the day-

Hope you all are having a fantastic Sunday!

We made it! And still no baby

The first 35 weeks I prayed Anias would stay put. I may have prayed a little too hard! Yesterday was Anias' due date. At this point Eli had already made his appearance. Anias is his own little man. We had a couple of days this past week where I was sure he was on his way, one in particular when I was having contractions every 10-15 minutes after steadily building all day. Alas, it didn't happen. I've been praying that he comes before our scheduled induction Sunday, but trusting in whatever happens. Our doula was discouraging induction since I haven't had any progress and it is typically harder on your body to be induced. However, I need my parents' help and they leave the 27th. I really want to take advantage of help while I transition from being mom of one to mom of two. I had a rough time emotionally when Eli came, and I know that's natural, but I still want to use my support system as much as possible and I'm so thankful they are here to help. Our doc...

Happy Valentine’s Day + 1

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. Did you have a good Valentine’s day? I’m soooo spoiled. I can home to a sweet husband, some orchids, an infinity ring that slightly too small (whoops), pizza (yay! no cooking), and of course a bag of Cheetos and a few Twix bars. Of course I’m going to kill the orchids since they’re planted, but they look adorable now!  I made Josh an ice cream cake using this Wilton’s cake pan . My recommendation? Go to Baskin Robins. I may have saved a few bucks but the cake was not moist and it was a PAIN. After I frosted it, the cake just looked like a big ole’ blob. So much for the pretty pan. Next time I use the pan I’m thinking I’ll do angel food cake with a glaze (aka no thick frosting). I also got him a few items for his Man-Cave and signed us up for glass-blowing classes this Sunday. I can’t wait!                         ...

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...
