we had the worst weather all week with lots of storm and rain and I couldn´t get a lot done in terms of taking new pictures cause you just couldn´t go outside. It was impossible but it seems it is getting way better for the weekend so I made a to-do list a mile long. We´ll see how much I can cross off.
If I had to describe my winter style in one look this would be it. A stretchy and comfortable dress in a pretty color, a soft faux fur vest and as far as accessories go – a matching felt hat, a belt (we´ll see how long they are still going to fit) and a big tote to carry all my stuff.
Usually I love to add more vibrant colors to a look but for this style all the earthy colors worked together perfectly. It was also the first look I styled my Luis Vuitton Neverfull with I got for my birthday. I first was a little intimidated by wearing it casually outside the house cause it was so expensive but I think it is a very durable bag that holds up quite well. I find myself using it even more since I have gotten a tote organizer.
Do you have a signature style people would say this is totally you when wearing this kind of outfit? I really do but it changes throughout the seasons.
Are you guys having any great plans for Valentine´s Day tomorrow?
sorry for skipping yesterday´s post but I have been sooo tired the last few days. Baby is robbing all my energy. Also the weather has been cold and gloomy lately so this is not helping either in terms of energy.
Some time at the end of January I always fall in a style rut. I don´t know what to wear anymore although winter is still lasting and I have a lot of clothing but all I won´t to wear is black. And this year it is even harder cause I am pregnant too.
So to add some color to the long and cold hard winter I went all in and pulled this neon pink sweater out of my closet. I is a super fun color and the best for these gloomy days. Since it is pretty oversized itself I combined it with a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of booties. When I am wearing all plain colors I love to add any kind of print and leopard print is always a nice one.
I am hitting my 33 week today and wanted to share my second trimester with you. I have also done this with my first trimester and if you are interested you can read it here. I am so excited that in a few weeks I am going to meet this sweet little girl and she is going to be all ours. My doctor´s appointments are now every two weeks which gets me so excited but also a little anxious about the birth. I have prepared a lot. The nursery is almost ready, just neet to hang some things and I have washed all the baby clothing and bedding and I also started on packing my hospital bag and the bag for the baby so I am really prepared over here which is great cause it takes a lot of my stress away.
So how have I been so far:
18 weeks
19 weeks
20 weeks
21 weeks
23 weeks
25 weeks
27 weeks
My feelings
I have been feeling alright in terms of physical symptoms but I had some weeks inbetween were I was super nervous about the baby coming too early. I really don´t know why but I guess maybe it was one of the complications which would be super bad. Other than that I just can explain it with crazy pregnancy hormones.
What I am looking forward to every day is to feel the baby kick. It is such an incredible feeling.
My aversions
Most of my aversions have gone but the paper towels and burnt meat is still going strong. Other than that I am feeling fine.
My cravings
This is really new to me cause I didn´t really have any cravings so far but for some reason I am craving sweets since a few weeks now which isn´t me at all. I haven´t eaten chocolate or chocolate bars in a long time and I usually don´t care for them but now I want them really bad. Of course I can not eat them like I want because of my gestational diabetes so I am having some cream cheese with jam and I have also found a protein chocolate cream which isn´t that bad. Another strange thing I have eaten every other day the last few weeks is tuna salad. Why? I have no clue.
My pregnancy symptoms
A bunch of my first trimester systems have gone but there are also some new ones here. I do have a lot of heartburn now and it gets worse when I lay down at night. Also I can add backpain to my list. I didn´t think the bump is to heavy to carry around but I am probably wrong cause after some hours on my feet my lower back and my rips start to hurt really bad. I still have my gestational diabetes which will last to the very end which means I have to inject insulin twice a day into my thigh. I have gotten used to it but it still isn´t great.
Another thing I have been noticing is that my feet got wider. Some of my shoes are really tight now which makes me a little sad but hey soon I am going to have a baby so why not.
I also have been a lot more hungry than I was before since the nausea has faded and the baby has a lot of growth spurts but this leeds to my next problem. I have been constipated a lot lately which is really bothering me as it makes me feel a lot more uncomfortable. Also baby has grown so fast she is up in my ribs a lot which hurts really bad in the evenings. Hopefully she will slide down a little soon.
What I am looking forward to in my third trimester
First and foremost meeting our baby and adjusting to our new normal. And although I like being pregnant my belly is getting bigger by the day and sometimes it really is in my way but I also think it will be really strange when it is gone.
the fresh year starts with a fresh amazon buys haul I wanted to share with you. So for the last months I have been ordering mostly baby products but I also got some other nice things I wanted to share with you.
I probably already said that but I love love love amazon. They carry everything you would ever want or need or probably don´t ever need in one shop.
Here are my January picks:
Acrylic bath organizer // I have seen these genius acrylic organizer called „Lazy Susan“ on Rach Parcells post and knew immediately that I had to have them too. I had such a mess in my bathroom cabinets and was so tired of searching for stuff. These are super convenient and stylish too. Will make you life a lot easier.
carry-on luggage // I got this for you Rome trip in January we didn´t go cause I thought the colors theme is so beautiful and one of a kind and it will look great with my Neverfull. So now it waits for our next trip. Great quality for the price and it is also available in two other colors (blue and black with the cognac colored trim) and on sale very often.
maternity/nursing pj´s // Going to pack them into my hospital bag as my bump will still be there then but I also have to breastfeed the baby so I think this double version will come in pretty handy.
bracelet // This David Yurman dupe makes an awesome addition to the other two bracelets I already have. They are quite heavy and made of great quality for the price point of under 20 Euro. Pretty to stack or wear by itself.
Burt´s Bees baby oil // I originally wanted the mom oil for my bump but got this instead. Going to save it until baby is finally here.
nursing bra´s // They cheapest option with the best reviews. I got this set with 3 nude colored ones and also a set with gray, pink and black. I think they are made pretty well and hold up quite nice in the washing mashine. The snaps are easy to open and close with one hand and you can also adjust them in the back if they should feel to tight on you.
handbag organizer // I bought this about a week after getting my Luis Vuitton Neverfull cause the bag is huge and things got lost in the bag all the time.
Twelve hours sleep by twelve weeks old // Got this book in hope for us to get to sleeping schedule before we turn into acutal zombies. Had a ton of great reviews so we´ll see.
