It's a Girl!

We are so excited about our baby girl! It has been so fun dreaming about what she will be like, whose personality she will have or family traits she will inherit. We have started planning the nursery and adding in some girly details to add to the neutral items we have purchased already. My older sister gave me some hand-me-downs from her 2 year old daughter, so it's been fun to look through that and have a little wardrobe started for her! She is already one spoiled little girl. 
How far along: 22 weeks
Size of baby: Cob of corn

What am I wearing: Maternity clothes?
Living in maternity bottoms and stretchy tops. I am down to a select few of outfits that I feel comfortable in, so I foresee a shopping trip coming up!


Cravings: No cravings which I am thankful for, so that I am not eating just to satisfy some weird craving.

Movement: Lots of movement! My husband is not patient enough to sit and try and feel it though since there are only a few that are strong enough to feel from the outside.
Sleep: Sleeping well and feeling rested.

Best moment of the week: Sharing the gender with my coworkers. They had a 50/50 game going to guess the gender, which made it really fun to share with them that it's a girl.

What I'm most looking forward to: Christmas with a baby bump.

Outfit details:
Long sleeve top: H&M (non-maternity) | Knit vest: H&M (non-maternity) | Jeans: Old Navy (maternity) | Ankle boots: Gap

One of the items on my 2013 bucket list was to experience Canada Day in the capitol city; Ottawa. So this weekend, my husband and I made the 5 hour drive to Ottawa and were lucky enough to stay with his cousin and her husband. It was a great weekend of catching up, and celebrating our Home and native land - Canada. I felt so proud to be a part of such a lively crowd of fellow Canadians! Hope you all had a great long weekend!

It's unbelievable to me that my husband and I are already celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary this weekend. It seemed to take forever to finally get to this point in my life, but I wouldn't change a thing. Perspective can be hard to find when you are in the middle of something, but looking back, it's all working out in God's perfect plan.





I feel so blessed to have found such an amazing man to be with for the rest of my life. Today I want to say a big Thank-you to him for being so self-less, loving, and hilarious. I can't wait for the next 50 years together.

My husband got a new job, so we headed out for a romantic dinner for two to celebrate. I thought I would put my pinterest boards to use and try out this hair style that I think is so simple and classic. It's fun to find things that help me create my own unique style, and really feel like 'me'. You like?


The winds have been really cold, and the snow covers the sidewalks so I had to stick with a warm sweater, thick tights and boots.
