Spring blooms are finally popping up everywhere. It is the time of year I really enjoy cause who wouldn´t love all the colorful flowers after the dreadful months of everything brown.
I have thought some time about this look before I decided to shot it cause somehow leopard print for me is a Fall print but with the baby blue sweater vest and the light pair of denim I think it looked pretty springish plus sweater vests are still a huge trend. This one would have been the right size and length to wear without a shirt underneath but it was just a little too cold for that.
Baby blue fit so well with the creme and black leopard print that I might wear it in a similar combo once the baby is here and I most of my clothes back.
If you aren´t the blue fan I think every other pastell color like lavender or blush would look cute as well or green for example (not a pastell but is seen everywhere this Spring).
Getting dressed has become a little harder over the last few months but I am still finding cute things and am managing to style it properly for the season.
A dress is my number one choice these days as it is super comfortable and easy to style. Hopefully the weather will get warmer soon so I can get back to wearing dresses every day. We had lots of snow over the weekend and it´s still cold out.
Spring has never been my favorite season to dress but with all the cute colors out there it is definitely easier. A knit dress is a favorite of mine and so easy to style plus it will keep you warm on those colder days. The zipper style is quite sportive so I went with the flow and added a pair of white platform sneakers to the look. The denim jacket and the blue straw handbag add another casual vibe to the look. Overall it was a very cute and comfy everyday style.
Continuing with Easter inpso tomorrow. I still have a lot up my sleeve to share with you. See you soon.
It is incredible I got a fourth blog post up this week. The last two weeks have been a total doozy. I got Emilia´s cold and was super sick. Couldn´t sleep from coughing at night and from ear pain and a sore throat during the day. Emilia has been at her grandma´s most of the days and I still couldn´t get better but there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. I have gotten so much better the last two days!!
Anyways let´s have a look at the last looks I have been wearing. They are in no way all from this week but collected over the last two and a half weeks. All themed Spring (although it has started to snow today and will do so through the weekend) and colorful and light.
Obviously I have a thing for reds and pinks cause these have been my most worn colors throughout the last few weeks. People always think because of your red hair you can not wear corals, red and pinks but that is just not true. It always depends on the shade of your hair and then you can choose which hues work for you or not.

I have been so sick last week and the weekend before I just don´t know what hit us there. Maybe after two years of wearing masks and socially distancing there is no immune system left to fight of the germs that are around.
Also Emilia´s second birthday was yesterday and I super emotional all day plus I had to power through cause yes I am still sick. Being pregnant and having a cold really sucks cause there is almost nothing you can take that actually works.
But let´s have a look at my second trimester. I haven´t done a bump date for my first trimester cause first of all I didn´t take any bump shots plus my first trimester was exactly the same like I was pregnant with Emilia.
Did I have morning sickness?
No , not particularly. I definitely was sick once a day from week 6 to about 16. My sjckness started everyday around 11 am, like clockwork. I got super sick and also super hungry and tired. It was pretty hard and lasted about two hours each day. So I went and made us something for lunch that was possible for me to eat a few bites of and then I would go to bed with Emilia and sleep for about two hours. To be honest this has been very tough to handle with a toddler.
Did I have any cravings?
Yes. Mixed cravings. Apples for example, I never eat apples. And ham. Ham has been a big craving as well as hash browns. Everything of that has faded now and I just eat what we have planned for our daily or weekly meal.
Did my bump grow quicker?
A lot. I still can not believe how fast I showed this time around. The most people have guessed it first. I could have never waited until week 20 like I did with Emilia the first time around. Unbelievable how the body is capable of changing so quick.
Was I as excited as the first time around?
I definitely was. After all this is a wonder every time and the first ultrasound is super special to me. But it might have gotten a little lost in my days at home with a busy toddler. I can not focus and concentrate as much on my pregnancy as the first time cause I am not alone at home anymore.
How did we find out the gender?
We found out about the gender around week 14. We did genetic testing this time and the blood tests show the gender so our doctor told us after week 14. And I was super surprised that it is another girl but to be honest my symptoms have been absolutely equal to my first pregnancy.
Do we plan on having a second nursery?
The plan always was to give the bigger room (where Emilia currently sleeps in) to the two same gendered kids (we want three) and the small room to the single one. Now that we have two girls close in age we are going with a shared nursery and I am so happy about how everything is coming together. Hopefully it will be ready before the second baby is here. Furniture delivery hasn´t been as easy and quick as it used to be.
How far will the kids be apart?
A little over two years.
Is is harder being pregnant with a toddler at home?
At times it definitely is. I am getting tired a lot more often and quicker plus my back hurts from carrying Emilia to much but other than that it is still okay. Might change until the end of my third trimester but so far so good.
Is there something we are planning on doing different with the second baby?
There are some small things I want to try to incorporate as early as possible. With Emilia for example I let her fall asleep on the sofa an let her sleep there so she never learned to fall asleep in her crib for naps so I definitely want to change this. Also I want to be more consistent when it comes to feeding. Emilia didn´t like being fed anything other than milk so we weren´t to follow through when it came to mash and purees but I definitely want to give this another try. One thing I wanted for me is to make it longer in terms of breastfeeding. I got to about months and then my milk supply dropped so I really want to work on that, maybe get to the full 12 months. Also I have a feeling there won´t be much pumping involved this time around cause there just won´t be the time with a newborn and a toddler so exclusively breastfeeding it will be.
Is the time going by faster ?
Time is definitely flying by this time. Yesterday I somehow realized that there are only 10 weeks left and I am not done with a single planned project (like the shared nursery, the nurses baskest or packing my hospital bag). These are all things I wanted to accomplish before baby gets here so I have a calm state of mind.
The dress I am wearing in all the pictures above is from amazon and I probably own it in six different colors.
