Happiest Friday!!  I wasn’t sure if these last weeks of pregnancy would go faster or slower now that I am home, but this week has flown by.  In the best kind of way.  Other than all the much-needed rest & extra time with Waverly, there is definitely something to be said for not having to rush out the door by 6:30 every morning (& it’s not just the fact that I can actually stay up past 8 at night, though that’s pretty damn amazing in itself).  I absolutely adore my mornings at home, they are some of my happiest moments each day & even though I know they are about to be turned upside down, I will never take them for granted.
No matter how chaotic they get. 😉

We have spent a lot of our week running errands, getting last-minute things for baby sister since I am full-term in two days (& freaking out just a little bit)! 🙂  I finally got my breast pump, which I had been putting off forever, I’m sure other breastfeeding moms can relate, I really hate that thing but know I can’t live without it.  We got this one & my insurance covered it 100%.  We also got a new video monitor, a double one so we can watch both girls in their rooms & I am so excited about it.  I can’t believe we waited this long to be able to spy on Waverly, we set it up last night & I felt like a total creeper but loved every second of knowing what goes down in there after I leave.  I have a feeling this is about to get really entertaining!!

In other news, we had a couple play dates with some little ones, and celebrated Cinco de Mayo with the cutest festive dress & taco dinner with friends.

The weather has been pure perfection, spring at its finest, I took Waverly to the beach & we lasted longer than we have since she was born!  This time of year is the best since it’s still cool enough to not be uncomfortable & we pretty much have all the sand to ourselves.  If it wasn’t for the walk down there (which I’m pretty sure could have put me into labor on its own), we would literally go every day until baby girl decides to arrive.

My mom & sister both sent me this article this week, if you haven’t read it and you have a toddler, it’s a definite must-read.  I couldn’t relate to it more, I’m sure it’s the hormones, but it had me in tears thinking that Waverly really knows more about me than anyone else right now.  Is it too much to hope that she will always want to be my BFF?!!

Lastly, I want to wish all of you a Happy Mother’s Day weekend!!  I follow some of the most inspiring moms I know & I couldn’t be more thankful or think that you are all more than deserving of a relaxing weekend all about YOU!  Enjoy every minute!  XO

Happy Friday!!  It’s hard to believe that we one only have one week of April left, or that my maternity leave officially begins next Friday!  This year is flying by, I definitely can’t keep up!

It’s been a week full of sunshine for us, we have spent most of our afternoons outside soaking it all in!  We unfortunately found a warm weather staple that Waverly does not love, she has an overwhelming fear of the ice cream man & is not ashamed to show it.  If she even hears the music in a distance, she bolts to me, leaps in my arms, & will hide her face until I somehow convince her that he is gone.  Part of me loves that she is scared of the random stranger in the truck, while the other part is seriously sad that I can’t go get one of those red, white & blue bomb pops (you know the ones, right?!).

While we were outside the other afternoon, the ice cream man couldn’t be heard, thankfully, Waverly was running after our dog & fell.  She was pretty upset about it, & there was a small red mark, but she usually recovers pretty quickly so I figured this would be no different.  That was until thirty minutes later, when she had to call everyone in my phone to tell them that “she had broke her leg”.  My husband was lucky enough to get a ten minute voicemail about it, including a description of why she could no longer walk (right before she was running through the backyard pushing her babies in their stroller).  For the record, I have no idea where she gets her dramatics from. 😉

Warm weather fashions are my favorite, it is so much easier to pick out clothes when they don’t involve layers upon layers.  I’ve had my eye on so many pretty spring & summer dresses for both my girls lately, this one is currently on it’s way & I can’t wait!  And I was so excited that I was able to squeeze this one on Waverly for one more wear before we pass it on to baby sister (similar here).  I love, love white on little girls & I am obsessed with anything embroidered, so this piece is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

In food news, I am craving all things sweet right now, & basically only eating meals to get to the dessert.  I’m pretty sure I mentioned this cake last year around this time, it is seriously the most amazing thing ever & too perfect for this time of year!  Waverly helped me make it this time, it’s so easy (which is another reason I love it) so it’s definitely toddler-friendly! 🙂

The ingredients are angel food cake (I just buy one already made), sherbert, vanilla ice cream & cool whip.  Take chunks of the cake & put in a cake pan, then pour the melted ice cream & sherbert on top before putting it the freezer.  After about an hour, take it out & cover with the cool whip, then put it back in the freezer until it’s completely frozen.  Seriously, it’s so, so good!

My parents got Waverly a trampoline for Christmas & she has loved it ever since, but now that we can actually use it more, I’ve decided that it is the best thing has ever happened to us (besides the girls).  We don’t go a single day without using it, Waverly will jump for what feels like forever, & then some more.  Best toddler entertainment ever, & perfect for tiring them out for bedtime!

We are crossing our fingers that the weather stays warm the next couple of days, we have our family maternity pictures this weekend!  I hope to share some good ones soon!  Wishing you a very happy one!
