Big Girl Haircut and Over Easy.

So a lot happened on Wednesday.  I really, truly mean a lot.  I got home and passed the efffff out, I couldn't even imagine cramming anymore than we did into our day.  Let me start it out for you:

First things first, woke up for my 30 week appointment (should have an update on that soon!)  and so far everything looks great.  No diabetes for mama, and I'm officially done with all bloodwork for the rest of this pregnancy.  HURRAY!!  From there we had our tradition of Wednesday Breakfasts and we headed up to Over Easy in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago.  This will always be one of my favorite breakfast joints.  The sassy eggs rule (and are a cult favorite) and I ventured out to try the sweet and salty pancakes on this visit.  They were STUFFED with BACON.  Can it get any better than that?  Nope.  Didn't think so.

We then headed to a few baby boutiques, found a lot of adorable things that are always too expensive... then headed to Wicker Park for an Akira stop.  Got some Tom's finally!  It feels so good giving back to lil kiddies that need shoes worldwide, and they definitely feel good on my third trimester feet.  I'm still working 8+ hr shifts at work on stone tile... it gets to be pre-tty painful by hour four.  Baby DLR got her first pair of baby Tom's too (thanks to Papa- he's really the best) so now by 6 months, she'll have something super cool to wear like her Mama.

THEN- after some more errand running to Home Depot and Genesis Art Supply (for nursery decorating goodies)  we came home, switched gears, and headed to Pulaski for a hair cut.  First thing the woman says to me when I show her a picture of what I want was this:

WOMAN: "this?"
ME: "yeah."
WOMAN: "this is too short.  you'll look like a guy."
ME: (great)  "Hmm.  Okay.  Maybe keep it a little longer to try it out first?"
WOMAN: "Yes.  Much Longer."

** NOTE:  So the cut isn't exactly what I wanted yet, I have to cut more layers in the back, but it's getting closer to what I originally had in mind.  I was so brave!  I've never had a real haircut- not like this anyways.  It feels great to be able to not do anything in the morning, and I'm sure it will come in handy as a new mom.  Once I fix my layers, I'll update with a pic! :) **

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

Hello, It's Me

* screeeeeeech.... opens door * Hello? Are you in there? I'm baaaaaaack! Holy shnikeys! It's only been a good two years or so. Talk about a blogging hiatus. So, after many many failed attempts at fancy Squarespace sites and having absolutely zero direction on which way I wanted to go, I found myself right back here. Good 'ol blogger. Good 'ol free simple template. Good 'ol feed with all my old friends. It's been a long, long time. And it feels weird! But I'm dusting off the cobwebs anyway and just writing because I need to. Plain and simple. Now, a few things-- the blog title is a bit different. My kiddos are nearly three and five years old so diapers [thankfully] are a thing of the past. Hallelujah! And if you haven't heard, folks, skinny jeans are out. They're done! Bring on the bellbottoms, culottes and 90's fashion revival. You heard it here first, everyone. Just wait.  Also. Growing up. I kinda laugh at how much...

alba growing: one month

A few weeks ago, Little Alba turned a month old - still so new and tiny, but a precious soul that seems like she's been here all along.  Her thighs are quickly chunking up, as are her cheeks, and this mama can't get enough! The days are long and my time is stretched thin, but we are having such a wonderful time just figuring each other out. When evening hits, the tummy troubles begin and we rock and sing to make the gas bubbles go away. Once you've finally fallen asleep, you'll remain that way for the remainder of the night and we'll feed again once the day breaks.  You are alert and learning, constantly filling our hearts with more love than we ever imagined.
