Drinking: apple cider (it’s so delicious; sweet drinks are one of my Achilles’ heels during pregnancy)
Reading: A mix of Vanity Fair, Wild, and Real Simple
Wanting: to get Lindsey this jacket (in black) for Christmas; the price can’t be beat (and it covers the butt which is necessary for Massachusetts’ winters) — extra 30% off if you use the code YAY30 too. I love me a discount code.
Watching: Nashville, Parenthood, and a little Daniel Tiger too (and finding that I have Daniel Tiger jingles in my head all the livelong day)
Listening: to a new birth soundtrack I’m starting to put together. Baby clothes are still MIA but AS LONG AS I HAVE MY BIRTH PLAYLIST. It’s coming along…
Eating: Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (Thanks Hilary!)
Smelling: this dry shampoo spray which I finally bought after debating it for a good month. It’s expensive! But I heard it’s also awesome. TBD (I only used it once, and then put my hair up, so I can’t be the judge yet.)
Wishing: that the news media would share good news more often; I find their fear-mongering to be bordering on evil and… I could go on and on about this topic. Another time?
Enjoying: these fall walks Steve and I (Parker too) have been taking; one yesterday was at least three hours long (he had the day off) and it was so nice. The weather was just right and it was beautiful. My left butt cheek hurt by the end though and I really had to pee. I need a chiropractic adjustment.
Loving: this toggle coat detail (it is sooooo beautiful), but thinking it is definitely too expensive to make its way into my closet
Hoping: that this gorgeous fall weather stays. It’s been awesome.
Needing: To organize, to organize, to organize!
Feeling: excited to meet this baby boy, but also wondering how life will look once he’s here. Normal?
Wearing: these slippers, always and forever (they’re so old, but still holding up–and post Christmas, they go on sale! I found them half off a few years ago.)
Noticing: that when my computer requires an update, I hit “Remind me later” no less than twenty times before I actually do it.
Bookmarking: these cookies that Cup of Jo shared yesterday. The idea of putting everything in a bowl somehow makes them seem soooo much more doable than the whole two separate bowls thing. Pathetic.

Parker playing hard to get
Making: this soup, huge batch, to last us all weekend; i’m sort of obsessed with making huge batches of things lately; also hoping the cabbage (doesn’t call for it, but I put it in!) helps the acid reflux I just discovered I have!

Acupuncture is also great for pain during pregnancy! (And to get labor going if you go late). Love this post. Such a great photo!

That dress is on point. Mind sharing where it's from? I totally bought the jcrew slippers you linked up last week (or was it the week before…) and ugh, I never want to take them off.
bridget says
yesss! so glad you got those slippers! the dress is target! a recent find too.
Urban Wife says
Awesome! Tarjay wins again. Thanks for your reply. I

Well, maybe listening to the soundtrack, will get you in the "shop for baby clothes" mood – so I think you're doing everything right 😉
We had a nice fall day too (it almost felt liked summer) and took a long walk too, we really enjoyed it, although the teens at our house were constantly complaining 😉 – maybe we take the bikes tomorrow to make it more fun for them.
And thanks for the Nashville recommendation, I really love it and going to watch another episode after finishing the comment here.
bridget says
oh i loooove nashville!
Lauren says
Right now Gap has 40% off everything- no exceptions, even sale. Maybe that will help encourage some baby and postpartum wardrobe shopping. 🙂
bridget says
you shouldn't have told me that. (lies. thank you.)
Kodi Jensen says
Oribe is so darn expensive, but can't lie, I loooove it. I ask for it as a gift and usually can make it through without having to buy myself.
Hannah Smith says
After trying many many many many dry shampoos, I have to say this stuff is actually the best. You can buy it online or in most Targets. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3560097 If the Oribe isn't your thing, I'd say definitely try the NYM.
bridget says
hey thank you! i like that price tag a whooooole lot better than oribe's.
Rebeka says
I made those cookies this weekend and I brought them into work today and everyone seems to really like them. They were really easy to make too – so there's that!
Mrs. Snyder says
What types of music do you have on your birth playlist? I am expecting my first in December and am trying to figure out what music would help with anxiety, fear, pain, and help me deliver drug-free!
