Reality

my friends, pregnancy is a beautiful thing. 

except for sometimes, like real life

i look at these pregnancy photos we took and realize reality is very different. 

i just thought i should share these beauties...in case you were having a bad day.  yes, i wore the same sweatpants from the husband's high school years...for a couple days.  along with my husband's sweatshirt and some awesome cowboy boots. the darker sweater was my grandpa's. now just imagine me walking about the neighborhood, skipping, trying to induce labor "naturally."

comfort was the key element in outfits.

i think these were taken 2 days before Aiko was born...

ummmmmmmmmm.

love her.

this is what happens you do things upside down

found this on pinterest. 

i loved the writing on the lampshade.

i could totally make that right?

well, the first attempt wasn't so great.

well, it almost was, until we did it upside down.

i found this hanging canvas light at the thrift shop for $7 bucks.  

thought it would look super wonderful in my bedroom!  i'm sure it will one day...when i get it done again.

see the writing?  the han and I found some awesome quotes (pinned here)  

i even had the han write it all for me in pencil then i went over it with a sharpie

(my handwriting is slightly atrocious)

then, i realized, we did it upside down.

the han was mystified.  

you see, she doesn't make goofs like this.

she's much too OCD for it.

sigh, sometimes things don't always work out the first time.

next time will be better i'm sure. 

until next time...
