I am a sucker for some sparkle, especially around the holidays. Basically, just give me all of the bling and glitter and I’m a happy girl. An easy way to add a hint of sparkle without going overboard is with jewelry! So when I saw these super cute wrap bracelets from Victoria Emerson, I was already planning my outfits to make them stand out. I think a simple black dress is so classic for a holiday party, and the perfect backdrop to show off that sparkle!
Seriously, I am so in love with these beautiful bracelets- go check them out!
Annnd hello there, 36 week baby bump! We had a growth scan this week, and Baby Girl is measuring at 6 lb 7 oz already!! Ummmmm that’s a big girl. ;) Although, I got a lot of comments on Instagram, easing my mind and saying how off those scans can be, so I’m hoping and praying she’s not too big.
We went to the Christmas concert last night performed by the little kids that Zack teaches. Oh my gosh, you guys. I cannot ever get through one of these concerts without crying. And now that I’m a mama, AND pregnant?! Ugh. I was kind of a mess haha. I just imagine when Sam is up there, and his little sister, and I get all of the feelings. Oh, and we ended up deciding not to bring Sam, since it would have interfered with bedtime and all he would have done is run around in the lobby anyway. ;) It was a nice little date night for us! And literally the cutest thing ever. And God bless Sam’s grandparents!
Annnnd um Christmas is in a week?! WHAT?! That is craaaaziness, guys! Well, in the spirit of things, between this blog and Instagram, I’m hosting 7 Days of Giveaways!

Ahhhhh love the floral car seat cover! :) Also, I wanted to ask you (as a 2nd time mommy) about the rocking chair/glider. I’m trying to decide which to purchase, and also if it will really be used all that much. I know they are an awesome luxury to have, but adding something that is $300+ to the list of “must-haves” (especially during the holiday season) makes me leery. I do plan to breastfeed exclusively, and I know a comfy chair can make all the difference, I’m just interested in hearing how much you used yours with Sam!

We actually JUST got the glider a few weeks ago! I never had one with Sam- we just had a chair and I mostly nursed him on our couch, to be honest… So I’m defintely excited to breastfeed the new baby in a glider and for the ability to ROCK, which is so so so nice, for baby and mama! ;) I know gliders can be SO expensive, so I get your hesitation! That’s why we never got one before! I would definitely say it isn’t a “must-have” as we were just fine without one, but it is a really nice thing to have. Babies are alllll about that rocking motion! And we’ve been reading to Sam before naps and bedtime in the glider, and it seems to soothe him. I hope this helps a little! Just know that you do not need ALL OF THE THINGS to be comfortable and have a happy baby. :) All they really need is you. <3

Is it weird that I am in love with a car seat cover and I am not a mother? Cause I am. That pattern is adorable.
You are too cute, mama! Love the sparkle bracelets!
