being pregnant is so much fun. i am determined to be creative while getting dressed; like i mentioned before i am trying not to contribute to the consumerist wheel of pregnancy and also to not really even wear "maternity" clothes. these last few weeks i've had a great time dressing to accommodate my belly as she really sprouts! my sis sent over a whole pile of dresses from her own personal collection that she thought might work well for my growing belly. it was so fun, like getting a temporary new wardrobe!  addie has really cute style , often mixing flowy vintage pieces with stylish boots and headbands . or sometimes throwing in a little pinch of punk rock. or just giving it a little something all hers alone, like a fanny pack , 90's sundress , knee socks, layers. 26 weeks pregnant last week, in a pretty bohemian dress from addie: this little baby is still my number one. it is really hard. you're not supposed to...

  my whole outfit was thrifted over the last two weeks.... some of my favorite types of thrift store finds: vintage tee shirts, old-fashioned hand knit sweaters, comfy mary-jane shoes, and linen sundresses.  i'm also loving these colors together: mustard, coral and a bit of turquoise. mmmmmm, texture. texture is something i love love love in all aspects of life, be it food, fashion, photography, friends....  my little audience: my baby loves to twirl and dance, sway and twist. she loves the sun. i got worried for a minute that i don't feel her move enough, reading other pregnant women's blogs who are about as far along as me and say their baby jabs and kicks hard and even hurts them. i told darin, "i think she sleeps a lot" and he answered, "of course she sleeps a lot. she's in a WOMB." he imagines it to be the coziest place on the planet. i think it might get a bit cramped ...

25 weeks! more topics to tackle: hair :  i have mentioned before that my hair has felt healthier than ever. it is thick, full, and growing. i am tempted to cut it a little but i've always admired the Farm midwives and want to have that long-haired nature-mama look. best hair plus: i hardly have to wash it. it never feels dirty or looks greasy. it just looks messy, but you all know i don't mind that! another fun fact: i am growing tiny baby-hairs all along my hair line and best of all, they're coming in both brown and silver! you know you're an "older" mama when that happens J   headaches :  this was a pregnancy symptom I had never heard about.  in my life, i've never had a migraine or struggled much with headaches, so when i started getting a headache every day it came as a surprise during the first trimester. of course, you don't take advil when you're pregnant and even though it is supposedly okay to take tyle...

my sweet things this week: grapefruit! ultimate craving lately, so good i drool over it. this is my new favorite drink. it is a very tart and yummy lemonade, comes in regular, mango, strawberry and raspberry...i love them all but they are definitely a treat drink. speaking of treats....i couldn't resist these easter candies at the store. they were my squishy sweet favorites as a kid and i find them immensely satisfying. darin says, please don't show that on your blog. this sweet little ferny belly. when she gets the chance she rolls in the sun with pure delight, falling over in one irresistible swoop and just rolling and rolling. more random sweetness: my boys before a graveyard shift. this is what i wore to my doctor appointment friday, feeling a bit jaunty and sporty. big little belly! stripes, plaid, stripes. i thrifted this hoodie last week and it has become another new favorite. march has been a sw...
