The daily grind.

Who says you can't wear a sweatshirt, long sleeves and leggings in 95 degree weather? (everyone). Yes, I did sweat a lot. Everywhere.

I am fortunate in that my job is very relaxed and I don't start until the afternoon. It's not a schedule for everyone but it is ideal for the 1st trimester pregnant people, and people like me who don't love early mornings and really enjoy brunch.

Stephen and I have started making morning coffee trips before work and doctors appointments and I am loving this quality time with him. I am hoping our schedules continue to allow this little tradition to happen after the baby comes and we can make it a party of three at our local Starbucks.

We have started planning and daydreaming about babymoons. We are thinking about keeping it local, as in, staying in California. Maybe a trip to Napa, to a place that has a day spa for me and good wine for Stephen? When does one even go on a babymoon? I think we are planning for October? So many questions. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Labor day weekend! Our plans include a trip to the beach and brunch (again, my favorite). I can't decide if this belly is cute enough for a bikini or if i should shove it into a one piece. These are the tough decisions.

We have weekly pregnancy classes that we go to that is run through our doctors office. We actually kind of love them because they are private classes, so, just us and an instructor...and also free. Yesterday's class was about the growth and development that the baby in utero makes from first trimester to the third. A lot of the info is sort of old news and common sense and google already told us, but it's nice to talk to someone about what you are personally experiencing. She had plastic baby samples for each stage and my eyes definitely got really wide when I saw the size at the final stage. I'm scared for my body.

S and I started watching

And most importantly, I took the plunge and purchased these because I am not feeling dresses and skirts these days and need some jeans that I don't have to wear unbuttoned. I am not an every day dress person. I can't do it. I'm more like a once a week dress person so I need me some pants.

Lastly, I am desperate for a good book recommendation. I have started a few (like Goldfinch) and stopped because I just couldn't get there. I don't know why. Something quick, fun, dramatic, guilty pleasure type read. Thank you.

The end.
