4 Things…

February 4, 2015

Sneakers: Steve Madden | Jeans: old (similar) | Tee: F21, in stores (love THIS, THIS one too – order L) | Hi-Low Layer: Lush old (similar, similar) | Cardigan: old (similar) | Necklaces: Half United + Page Sargisson (c/o) | Sunnies: Ray-Banicon | Beanie: AE, in stores $8 (similar) | Lip: MAC icon‘Pink Nouveau’ + ‘Creme de Nude’

First-off, I’m 33 weeks and baby girl still has no name. When you and your husband are both indecisive people by nature, it makes for quite the challenge in coming up with something so permanent! Ack!  Goes to show how much we appreciate all the suggestions you’ve shared on Instagram. Keep ’em coming, friends! We’re adding them to the list (that’s over 50 names long). No joke!

Secondly, most of the country is freezing tush. For whatever reason Colorado decided to boycott the national trend. What kind of mother am I if I can’t promise snowmen in February? I guess I shouldn’t complain about upper 60’s for almost two weeks straight and our long afternoon walks in the sunshine.

Third, if I could survive off of lemonade and lemonade alone, I would. Okay and the accompanied Chickfila spicy chicken sandwich – extra pickles, side of ranch, please (my pleasure). Oh and an ice-dream cone to top it off. Whoa.

Lastly, can I just say how much a little compliment means to a pregnant woman? Even more so the third time around? It’s truly mind-blowing that your body can house another human being for almost a year. And manufacture it with such precision all while carrying-on normal day-to-day life. I guess being pregnant, I’m more aware of all of my fellow mamas waddling around with swollen feet and aching backs. And most of the time, we pass by and say nothing. But the ones who do, with a quick “you’re looking adorable” means the world (more like UNIVERSE) to us. This whole experience of change, sacrifice, and growth (at a rapid rate, mind you) is a beautiful thing. And those sweet strangers who take the time to stop and acknowledge the miracle that it is. Wow. It’s just the best!

Amen.

    At least you got some snow today in Colorado!! (Hopefully it hit where you are). Congrats on the baby girl! She is going to be so loved and protected by those boys!!

  • Nicole February 4, 2015 at 6:48 pm

    I feel your pain! I’m 29 weeks and my husband and I can not agree on a boys name… The list just keeps getting longer! We have two girls that were so easy to name! Not sure why it’s so hard this time around… Good-luck with name picking. I’m sure whatever you choose will be beautiful!

  • Tiffany February 4, 2015 at 7:12 pm

    I’m SO with you on the chik fil’a girl.
    Exactly the same way!
    You have such a cute belly for 33 weeks!!
    I’m adding the name “Charlotte” to the mix 😉

  • Lynda February 4, 2015 at 7:17 pm

    I really like your style . Love the green cardigan.
    Cannot wait to see your daughter!

  • Kelsey February 4, 2015 at 7:20 pm

    You look so cute! I am 32 weeks with our fourth and we are right there with you guys on the name game. Somehow picking out our boys names were easy compared to this little girl. Uhh…the pressure 😉

  • Lynn Hovis February 4, 2015 at 7:21 pm

    You look fab! I think Grace would be a beautiful name 🙂

  • Paige February 4, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    Truly, you are the cutest prego mama! I’m 18 weeks and can only hope to look as cute and non-swolen as you are at 33 weeks. We have two girls, named Charlotte nicknamed Charley and also a Quinne. If this 3rd babe is a girl, she will be either Sloan, Blair or Elizabeth and nicknamed Eli pronounced like Eli Manning.

  • Brittany @ LemonLimeLife February 4, 2015 at 7:35 pm

    Mama you are looking gorgeous as always! Nice to see you laid back and looking comfortable. I’ll join you in a glass of lemonade, sweet and sour and oh-so-delicious! Good luck on the baby girl’s name, I think Josie would sound great with Gage and Beckam.

  • Savanna February 4, 2015 at 8:02 pm

    I am 33 weeks as well! I agree we should compliment every pregnant woman. We are on our 4th and I tend to get a lot of negative comments. Our baby has a first name but if it is a girl we have no middle name. It’s frustrating but maybe not a big deal since we have a 50% chance of having a boy.

    • Savanna February 4, 2015 at 8:04 pm

      oh and BTW I am jealous of how small you look! You have a cute baby bump

  • Kim February 4, 2015 at 8:15 pm

    You are adorable as always!!! If it makes you feel any better, our son was named from the minute we found out he was a boy, our daughter’s name wasn’t decided on until the day before she was born. IMO, girls names are harder. Good luck mama!

  • Hannah February 4, 2015 at 8:19 pm

    I’m 16 weeks today with our first! So fun connecting with other mamas 🙂 And yes, you look adorable!!

  • Megan Q February 4, 2015 at 8:36 pm

    AMEN sister! I am 26 weeks pregnant with my first and starting to really show and not quite feeling my cute self. It makes my day more than anyone could ever know when a stranger says I look cute or the guy at Trader Joe’s offers to help me with a bag – or even simpler – when a car spots the bump and actually stops so I can cross the street safely! I have never been the kind of girl to need praise or help, but when you are pregnant it really means the world to have someone appreciate that effort even if in such a tiny way 🙂

    And on that note, you really DO look adorable, you have this pregnancy thing down, girlfran! 🙂

  • Juniper February 4, 2015 at 9:49 pm

    Well I stopped at two boys (Jack and Harvey) so I can pass along my unused girl name picks: Finley, Willow, Harper, Jewels, and Piper. Some of those have since become more popular but I love them all. I’m sure you’ll feel confident when you choose, even if it’s not until you meet her 🙂 My parents were set on naming me Dawn but when I was born they said I just looked like a Juniper! And YOU look adorable, mama!

  • Megan February 4, 2015 at 9:55 pm

    I had a co-worker compliment every day, when I was pregnant. It is amazing how a compliment can go a long way!
    You are always fashionable and you continue to look stunning!

  • Cynthia February 4, 2015 at 11:50 pm

    I love Vivian Pearl…nickname her Vivi for short ~ Emalynn ~ Tessa or Tess for short ~ Tatum ~ Briley ~ Natalie~ Aubree ~ Lauren ~ Hannah ~ Mya ~ Harper

  • Jamie February 5, 2015 at 4:45 am

    My daughters name is Lyla Grace, of course I think that is a beautiful suggestion!

  • Carina February 5, 2015 at 4:49 am

    Missy, you are adorable! Some of my favorite baby girl names: Emma, Zoey,Zayda, Sophie, Savannah (could be nicknamed Savy), Darby, Charlie and Leigh (pronounced Lee) and Chanelle or Shanelle.:)

  • CJ Johnson February 5, 2015 at 6:16 am

    You are always just the cutest! So excited to see what you decide on for a name not to mention all the cuteness that will be this little gal!

  • Jennifer G. February 5, 2015 at 1:36 pm

    You look adorable! Had we had a girl she would have been Ariel Nicole, but we love Grace too!

  • Michelle February 5, 2015 at 2:33 pm

    You are seriously gorgeous. I hope that I’ll look half as amazing as you do at 33 weeks. Andddddd now I’m craving chicfila! 😉 xo

  • Brianna Persson February 5, 2015 at 4:38 pm

    So exciting you are having a girl! I am 20 weeks pregnant with another boy:) I’m a major girly, girl so I had a ton of girl names picked out…Kensington, Larkin, Hollis, and Arah. I love a little bit more of a unique name. We have NO idea again what to name our lil guy. Our son Donovan was named on day 3 at the hospital lol! It’s so hard!! Good luck! You are such a cute preggo!!

  • Sharon February 11, 2015 at 3:13 pm
