For Friends and Posterity...

The countdown is ON! 36 weeks always feels like such a milestone to me.



Yesterday I discovered that self-portraits are impossible to take. Also, I found out at my doctor's appointment that our little princess has decided not to flip yet. The stinker is still hanging out feet first! I'm not worried about it. If anything, it gives me hope that I'll squeeze a few more days out of the duration of this pregnancy. As excited as I am to snuggle her when she does come, I know that my life will turn upside down shortly thereafter!

In other news, I bought two car-fulls worth of furniture yesterday for $15. Not joking. I love my Wednesday auction! Here's load #1. Load #2 is getting picked up this morning.



Lots of stuff for clients, some stuff for my home and even more stuff for my basement. Just cuz.

Also, I'm leaving town today and as a result posting might be a little lighter than usual. I promise I'll be back in full force after Thanksgiving, rested and ready to knock your socks off!

Have a great weekend!

    And, I really can't get over two car loads of stuff for less than a 20 spot!

  3. Week 36, not long until you're done! I'm in week 40 TODAY and I've been in great shape, but the last week my body has started to ache, so I'm hoping she'll make her arrival pretty soon :) Good luck!!

    And $15 filled two car loads??? INSANE!!

  33. Oh I love your self-portrait. Perhaps you can teach a class titled, "How to be pregnant and look good & the same time all while finding bargains and making spaces look beautiful" I bet you'd make a ton of money:-)

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  35. I'm only a week behind you (35 weeks exactly yesterday!), but this is my first so I'm not as experienced as you. I live right outside of Annapolis and would love to know what auction(s) or shops you go to to get some of your furniture finds? Thanks!

  47. You are by far the most precious "I am 36 weeks pregnant" pregnant lady ever. I know I won't look like that at 36 weeks--heck, I don't even look like that now!

    Oh, and I love those shoes. :-)

    ReplyDelete

  51. I was just reading about the name game and will pass along my granddaughters name. Jillian Audrey......I think it is so pretty and everywhere we go the name gets a nice comment.... however, her curly red hair is the first compliment most times. Love your site and your ideas....happy holidays to you and yours. jw

    ReplyDelete
  58. Oh my gosh, the only weight you've gained is in your tummy. You should give "prego lessons"! LOL,

    Have fun on your trip.

  59. Impressive - all of it.

    Where do you find maternity jeans that fit that well at 36 weeks?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I am with you... self-portraits...especially while pregnant are nearly impossible. :) Where, oh where are those jeans from? I am about to enter my third trimester and am pretty sure I 'need' those!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh you look so beautifully pregnant! And in skinny jeans! Love it...and your darling ballet flats.

    ReplyDelete
  62. You are "glowing" and I cannot decide if it from being pregnant or from finding all that furniture!
    Rest and come back full of good things!

  63. cutest. pregnant. girl. ever. :)

    I just had to leave you a comment to say that I'm so glad I'm not the only one who decorates/buys furniture in my last days of pregnancy. I had my third in Feb. and I can't tell you how many Craiglist items I tried to pick up before that baby came out. People looked at me like I was crazy but we both know you have more time before the baby comes than afterwards. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  64. you look fantastic, good luck in your last few weeks!

    i have a possible 'trick' for getting the baby to flip, first you can hang out on your hands & knees for at least 15 minutes each day...the 'cat' and 'dog' yoga position. i did that almost every day during the last trimester because it encourages the baby to head south. good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  65. You look beautiful! Hang in there, sometimes those last weeks are unbearable!

    ReplyDelete
  66. You look so cute! I am 13 weeks - I want to look as cute as you!!!!

    Also, how did you get that much furniture for such a great price. AMAZING!

    ReplyDelete
  67. You are the cutest pregnant lady I have ever seen! I hope I look like that one day when I'm preggo! Love the red flats too! Can't wait to see what you will do with all of that furniture!

    Again, I just love your blog!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    You are so beautiful, pregnant and otherwise, by now it's week 37 at least, since I write this a day after Thanksgiving.
    Good luck to you and hopefully the little one changes position... I used to be a midwife and know a thing or two.

  88. I have been reading for a while, and it just occurred to me that since I love and adore your blog, your designs, and your ADORABLE pregnant belly I should say hello! I am expecting #2 and hope that I look half as precious as you do at 36 weeks! I am also madly in love with Chiang Mai and think it's fabulous all over your house.

    Hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
