navy.

Not sure why, but I've been loving navy lately.  Maybe it has to do with my new Kate Spade bag I got for my birthday, but whatever the reason, I've been loving me some navy.

I'm so thankful that the warm weather has finally hit us - I'm hoping that being pregnant and all I won't be too bothered by the heat because that would be a shame to miss out on summer just because you're too uncomfortably warm all the time.  C'est la vie, I guess!

incredible.

There's an unspoken truth to pregnancy that nobody hears about until you're living it.   Pregnancy is definitely a miracle and the changes that your body goes through are incredible.  And while I'm loving being pregnant those changes that happen to your body are no joke.   Each day tends to bring a new symptom and it's been simply incredible getting to watch my body transform.  Some days, I feel great!  And some days, well, I feel not so great!  But I wouldn't change any symptom, challenge, unspoken truth because it's giving me the biggest miracle yet and I couldn't be more excited.

But while all that excitement is happening, I've also felt a sense of longing for my old body back - how I wish I had cherished my body more last Summer - if I had only known that that Summer would be the last Summer I'd have that body, well, I would have enjoyed wearing all those cute non-maternity clothes more, I would have had more fun with styles and trends and not been so uncomfortable in a bathing suit. And while I know I won't be pregnant forever,  it's inevitable that some things about your body change after pregnancy forever.

They have to.

And I get it.

But it doesn't make it any easier to let go.  Right now, I'm sharing my body and I will be for awhile and I'm MORE than happy with that but, sometimes, it's hard! I just keep telling myself to enjoy this time - it'll be gone before I know it and our little boy will be with us and I'll no longer be pregnant. And while, I'm excited to meet him, I also just want to enjoy every part of my pregnancy - even the hard, annoying, uncomfortable parts.  Because, that's just it, all those hard, annoying, uncomfortable parts are part of pregnancy - and I want to experience pregnancy to it's fullest....and not just wish it away.

And while I admit that pregnancy is hard, I also wake up each morning to little kicks and punches.  And just in that moment when I feel the uncomfortableness of pregnancy, I feel hims kick, or see my tummy move from the outside or I place my hand on my tummy and feel his tiny little arm or leg  punch my hand and it's as if he's letting me know it's all going to be worth it.

And in that moment, there's no where else I'd rather be.  

No other body I'd rather be in.

Pregnancy, it really is an incredible thing.

comfy.

First outfit post for quite some time! And it's a comfy, casual, weekend look this time around.  I do have a little bump now but it's a bit hidden in this flowy shirt but it's coming! 

And these shoes, guys.  So comfy and cute.  I can't get my feet out of them!

Happy 2015 all!  I can't believe we'll already nearing the end of January!  Time sure flies by....

Lately, I've been all about comfort.  Leggings, cozy sweaters, roomy knits, blanket scarves and boots have all been on the top of my list as of late.  There's nothing quite like being cozy in the Winter months.

And this purse, guys.  So pretty!  I love the color, the style, the gold hardware - so, so cute!

turtleneck.

Is everyone ready for Christmas?

It's been so fun this year having a little one to buy for - he's five so we're right in that perfect stage where he believes wholeheartedly in Santa.  He's had an advent calendar that he opens everyday and is counting down each day with full anticipation and excitement of what's to come.

He told us the other day that he wanted to make a Christmas list for Santa (we better get on that!) but that he wasn't going to make the list too long as he didn't want to be greedy - gotta love him and those Berenstain Bear books for teaching him not to be greedy!

On Thursday, we're taking him to see the Christmas train that is pulling into our city that evening.  He loves trains and Christmas lights so put them together and you've got yourself a pretty spectacular evening on your hands (well, for a five year old at least!).

Christmas through the eyes of a child - it really is the best.

Want to know another thing I'm loving this Christmas....turtlenecks.  That's right.  There's just something so warm and cozy about a turtleneck - plus there's no need for a necklace or anything so makes for a pretty easy outfit!

cold.

Guys, I swear, I wore a coat this day.  It's been freezing in Vancouver for the last couple of weeks - but for blog purposes, I braved the elements and took off my parka.

As far as the weather is concerned, I love the cold, sunny, crisp days of Fall.  I was hoping that it would stick around for December or even right through until Christmas - because don't you just find those cold days to feel more Christmasy - but, alas, I think it's supposed to warm up tomorrow and start raining.  

Blah.
