Snapshots.

It's been a while since I updated and, while I'd like to say it's because I've been super busy, in reality I've just been super tired.  Hefting my baby belly around, getting up for twice-nightly bathroom visits (such a joy!) and long waits to see the doctor have, quite simply, worn me out.  These days, my favourite things to do are veg out in front of the T.V. with my feet up, sneak in an afternoon nap and drink several cups of tea.  It's such a hard life!

In lieu of a bunch of actual exciting things to write about, I thought I'd share some pictures from the last few weeks, a little insight into what's been going on around these parts.  I know these lazy days aren't going to last much longer so I'm making the most of them now, before the fun begins!

Kind friends

The best pancake wrap ever

I rescued a mouse

Who doesn't love a bowl of sweeties?

At just about 39 weeks

Conveniently, despite doing sod all for the last few weeks, I've done zero things on my baby bucket list.  With my due date just one week away, I think we need to get cracking!  Here's to a week full of fun, quality time and plenty of snoozing on the sofa!

Love, K.

Baby Bucket List.

The prettiest tree in the park.

With the arrival of our little one growing closer every day, the way that our lives are going to change after she gets here has been on my mind a lot.  I know, of course, that nothing will ever be quite the same again, but it's the little things that I think will be the most evident.  Things like deciding on a whim to take a trip somewhere or a late-night stop for ice cream.  Even being able to sleep in on a lazy Sunday morning might be a challenge.

I've come up with a little bucket list, a few things that I'd like S and I to do before the baby is here.  I want it to be like a celebration, events that mark the end of one stage of our lives and welcome the next one.

  • See a film at the cinema and eat lots of popcorn
  • Spend a whole day just hanging out, watching movies and being mega lazy
  • Visit NYC
  • Have a date night, get dressed up and go out to a restaurant

It's not a huge list, since we don't have a whole bunch of time before the bean is born, and there's nothing especially fancy on there, since we're not fancy people.  Just a few simple things that are all the more special now.  It's exciting to think that once we've checked off those four items, it'll be time for us to add one more to our family!

Have you got anything planned for the coming weeks?  What exciting things are you up to?  I hope you're having a wonderful day and you've an awesome week ahead.

Love, K.
