a glimpse into life lately

totally ate my entire sandwich that night, never happens//hubby doing some nursery prep

dressing the bump on sundays is easier some days then other//first cup of the season 

 my feet are slowly disappearing//"gatsby, what gatsby" 

you should probably make these like now//boot weather-love it 

first instagram shop purchase//breaking bad finale at jase & rachels-SO GOOD

other happenings:

+ made these chicken alfredo lasagna roll ups the other night. so darn yummy, i've made them before but, totally forgot how amazing they are. i just used a jarred sauce and it was super easy.

+ our babies are currently the size of carrots. pretty crazy right? they are growing so much and can't believe in a few short months they will be here. so excited yet, so nervous! im currently 21 weeks. boy time is flying by.

+ a few fall shows have come back and i am so happy. revenge, new girl, greys-oh how i love thee. can't wait for the others to come back this month. 

+ re-discovering my love for tumblr. i was mia from it for a while. check it out here.

+ getting the nursery together. my current task is choosing prints for the collage wall. i cannot choose. pregnant lady issues-being so indecisive.
+ one more pregnant lady thing-i am going through the whole "holy cow my body is changing so much" phase. its often hard to get dressed and look in the mirror and see this "basketball" under my shirt. i don't feel like myself. i do however feel more womanly these days. i guess that is something that is hard for me. its crazy how much you change during pregnancy, i know i have so much more to do. i could write a whole post on this but, might spare you all. i guess i just have a hard time accepting my changing body on certain days. that's life though and i even if i feel this way i still LOVE LOVE LOVE being pregnant. it truly fascinates me that my body can grow two humans. like, woah!  

thats about it, folks. enjoy your day! 

xoxo 

oh hey

oh hey guys, remember how i used to blog all the time. yeah me either. ha. just thought it was time to pop in and say hey! maybe catch you guys up on whats been happening. 

+ saw miss ashley a few weeks ago. always a fun time with that girl. love her! 

+ attended a beautiful wedding for a good friend. she made one stunning bride. dan and i even took a picture together. 

+ since dan's grandma passed away we have been spending a lot of time with his grandpa. its been pretty fun getting to hear his stories and even his jokes. 

+ still amazed by the growing belly. certain things are slowly getting hard to do. like, bending over. dan enjoys the funny noises i make when i do so. ha

+ enjoying the "cooler" weather we have been having. makes so excited for fall. seriously, i think once falls comes around i am generally in a better mood! guess because im a fall baby! 

+ satisfying the pregnancy cravings that come out of nowhere. hey, in my defense i need to gain weight since havent yet. hoping by our next appointment on the 11th i have gained a few. 

+ speaking of the next appointment we get to find out what these babies are. cannot wait! so start guessing! 

+ developing pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. fun stuff. not. 

+ scoring the best ksl deal ever. got that rocker up there for $150. it was used for 6 months. same rocker from which can be found at babies r us retails for about $500. still super excited about it! 
+ my mom scheduling her trip out here. cannot wait to spend a few days with my momma!! hurry up september 10th! 

there you have just a few things we have been up to. pretty exciting stuff huh? i feel like this blog used to be so cool. then im not sure what happened. haha. once the babies are here im sure it will be filled with all kinds of crazy stories of our lives with two babies! 

xoxo
