Remember when I was gushing about the 70-something degree weather in NYC? Well, that weather has come and gone. It has been pretty brisk around these parts, reminding us New Yorkers that the weather here is completely unpredictable. (At least we didn’t see the snow that Chicago and Boston got. #alwayslookingonthebrightsideoflife)

No matter the chilly temperature or wind, I’m the kind of girl who appreciates a sunny day. Of course, 70 degree weather is better but I take what I can get. The tricky thing with these freezing temperatures is that none of my winter coats fit anymore…so I’m currently wearing one of my mom’s.

In more  exciting news, our childbirth classes begin tonight. I’m both intrigued and nervous to see what we’ll learning about. I will keep you all posted!

…Tell myself there was no way I’d move back home with my parents after moving out because it seemed like a step backwards. 

…Believe I would be a super fit pregnant woman because running and paleo had once been my go-tos but alas, here I am ~ 25 pounds later with three months to go. 

…Convince myself I had to make six figures before getting pregnant and then I realized you can think you’ve planned your life perfectly and something could still go wrong so why keep waiting for something I’ve wanted all my life?

…Not be able to forgive as well as I do now and it’s freeing. 

…Live for tomorrow, for when I’d see Tim again and then we he moved in with me, for when I’d see my family and friends next. These days I am happily living in the present. 

New maternity jeans.. Who said maternity clothing has to be boring?!

Blooming Magnolia trees… The sight of these beauties and their resemblence to Cherry Blossoms makes me happy. 

Easter Sunday with my loves… Exciting to think next year we’ll have our little baby boy in our arms to love on! 

Hope you all had a great one!

I am looking forward to the (true) spring and summer. So much. Of course, I always remind myself to be present and enjoy the everyday experiences. But bring on the heat and baby time– I am ready! Sunday’s snow was depressing. 

We have made a decision regarding housing (whether to rent vs. buy). I am excited that it’s been made. We finally have some clarity and can relax. 

Last but certainly not least, I received an exciting package from Minted this week. It was my first time ordering from them and I was very pleased with the great customer service and product. I’ll be sure to show you once the intended recipients receive them!

What’s on your mind today?

I can not for the life of me get out of bed in time. I’ve been going to bed an hour later and therefore waking up almost an hour later. I’m hoping next week will be easier. 

The amount of clothes he already has is astonishing. He has socks, onesies, outfits with bow ties and more… Just the other day I texted Mr. L that I was shopping for the baby and a few hours later he was doing the same. Can you tell we’re excited?

As is warmth. But I’m taking what I can get around these Northeastern parts these days. Some days it’s been in the 50s, others in the 70s. And there’s even some snow in the upcoming forecast. So today, I’m just relishing in the fact that it’s sunny with a high of 57. 

Who would have thought I’d ever write that? Not me, that’s for sure. But marriage is about give and take. Tim has been looking forward to this for a while and Penn State is doing great, so that’s a win-win!

Have a happy weekend!
