Today we are officially at 36 weeks, baby could be here in around a month (or less!). I know Dale and I will cherish having all these photos of the third trimester. We can’t wait to meet him!
Maternity Photos Part Two
This group of moody maternity photos from Bethany might be my favorite! We took all the photos in baby’s nursery (with the crib pushed out of the way) and you can see a little peak at the papier-mâché sculpture we still need to hang (and Otto, too!).

Maternity Photos Part One
We are getting so close to baby boy’s arrival and I’m thrilled that we will have these beautiful maternity photos to look back on by Bethany Hughes.

February Around The Web
I can hardly believe February is coming to a close and that we could meet baby boy next month! I began February speaking at KU’s Design Symposium Lecture Series alongside some other talented Hallmarkers, my family got to see Grace perform as Squidward in Spongebob the Musical, I had a great JLKCMO Dinner Club at The Westside Local, Grace was nominated and chosen for Sweetheart Court, I got to see some college friends at Erin’s bridal shower, we hosted a baby shower for my cousin’s wife Kelsea (who is due exactly a week before me), and the Chiefs WON the Super Bowl (again) – all before Valentine’s Day! Dale and I celebrated heart day with our traditional Italian dinner at Lidia’s and then we headed to The Elms for my birthday weekend. It was the perfect mini-babymoon and weekend away! After coming home we had a family birthday dinner at my parents complete with my favorite chocolate ganache cake. The month ended with both of our work baby showers and some final prep on the nursery (as well as a fun Sip & See to meet my friend Heather’s baby, Archer)! Here is what stood out around the web:
AI artwork is everywhere, and not without worthy controversy and discussion. While I haven’t explored for myself, these pieces by Andrés Reisinger caught my eye (alongside many on the internet). I’m so curious to see what the future holds for this technology!
One thing I have craved during pregnancy is cereal, making these popcorn balls a very appealing recipe to test out
It’s always interesting to reflect back on your personal spaces/tastes over time. Kate’s first solo apartment reminded me of our place in STL!
A fun heart day fashion roundup
Bookmarking these matching mother/son outfit combos Carly put together!
Another highlight of the month was discovering this Banana Oatmeal Muffin recipe!
A classic and cool office reveal from Alisa (@aglassofbovino)
And lastly, something to save for a few years down the road (Halloween 2025 perhaps?)

January Around The Web
January has flown by and I am now 31 weeks pregnant! It was an exciting month with TWO baby showers to help us celebrate and prepare for our new arrival. We also spent a weekend in Wichita celebrating my friend Steph and her baby boy on the way. My friend Macy, who hosted us, is also expecting a little girl in March. It’s going to be an eventful Spring! We wrapped up January with a few family birthday celebrations (a weekend at Turkey Hill for Pop and dinner for Aubrey).
Around the web I spotted this bag which has now been added to my wish list as an almost boy mom!
Liz’s trip to Harbour Island looked dreamy! And the turtle photos!
A lovely sneaker roundup
While I just can’t relate to cluttercore, this was an interesting read!
Also saving this for our next dinner out! I’ve had such a hard time knowing what mocktail to order while pregnant.
The perfect winter Valentine’s Day craft (as usual from Lars)
I know I would have LOVED this hidden room as a kid. Maybe someday we can have one!
Kelly has been sharing her colorful and moody Palm Springs home. You won’t want to miss a single room but I’m obsessed with the magenta dining room.
A recent baby purchase, the Snuggle Me infant lounger that is still on sale!
And the finishing touch on the nursery. While this isn’t typical baby decor, I love how it looks in the room and know we could easily move it somewhere else in our home in the future!
Hello, 2023!
Family Baby Shower
Last weekend we celebrated at my family baby shower! It was the perfect afternoon with the cutest stork decorations. We are now less than 10 weeks away from meeting baby boy!
