book reading.

daddy is gone a lot right now finishing up his mba & working, so it's just me and bubba a lot in the evenings.  i'm tired by end of the day, late in pregnancy, so we have found lots of fun quiet things to do together. thankfully brady LOVES to be read to, so we sit in his playroom a lot reading together and the time together & snuggles are precious.  love how he's holding onto my hand in this pic.

last shift.

i worked my last shift at the hospital today!  at least until the fall, IF i decide to go back. i'm not sure yet. part of me can't imagine not working as a nurse, having that part of my life come to a close (even for a season).  i've been a nurse for almost 13 years!  but then the other part of me wants to be at home, raising my babies, and soaking up as much as i can of this season of my life too. i waited a long time to have these littles and i don't want to waste that opportunity to slow down a little and raise them myself, not have them be with sitters for such long days.  so, time will tell.  i'll decide this fall when my maternity leave is over.  but for now, i'm grateful to have the next few weeks until baby sister arrives free from work shifts.  i'm excited to work on her room, prep for kate's upcoming wedding, and soak up time with my little family of three before we grow!

a sprinkle for baby!

my sweet friends hosted the most beautiful little baby sprinkle this weekend, to celebrate baby girl. jen hosted at her house & we had the best time. it was really laid back...beautiful decorations, such good food & drink, and the best part was that i just got to sit around and visit with my friends.  we talked for hours!  i got some really fun presents - mostly clothes & blankies for baby. so excited to put them all away in her room!

i turned 32 weeks the day of my party. here's what i wore...

whoa, baby bump!

my adorable friends suz & whitney are pregnant with little girls also!! they're both due a few days apart in september. can't wait for our little crew to grow with these sweet additions!!

what a pretty big brother.

our last travels.

this past weekend, brady & i took off on our last travels together just me and him.

we've gone a lot of places together and are the perfect travel sidekicks. it was bittersweet knowing that this season of our lives is coming to a halt soon, and the next time we take off on an adventure we'll have a baby sister with us!!  so exciting, but a little bittersweet too (and how in the heck am i going to travel alone with two?! it may be awhile...).  anyway, we went to davis california to see our friends the jacksons!  we had a really great weekend together playing & snuggling.
