He Is Here!

Baby Tanner made his debut last Wednesday evening and we've been busy taking in every moment with him!

Still Here, Still Pregnant

Yep, I'm still here.

Just feeling very tired and getting the last few things done before Tanner arrives. Actually, he could decide to grace us with his presence at any time now!

I'm sure everyone will be relieved to know my little TV snafu has been resolved. I've been busy catching up on all of my beloved Bravo programs. Just saw a preview for the next episode of RHONJ where Teresa and brother Joe battle it out, yet again. When therapy is suggested, Joe scoffs at the idea, saying old school Italians don't believe in it.

Sure. Because your family definitely seems to have worked things out on their own....

More wine seems like a good solution, no?

Now I did say that I wouldn't be watching this season but I just can't help myself.

Anyone catch Kathy Griffin's new show?

via

She certainly pushes the envelope, but her material is absolutely hilarious (i.e. referring to Alexis Bellino as Jesus Barbie). I'll continue to tune in. To that and any other show Bravo decides to air, frankly.

I am being punished

The universe/higher power is punishing me for some unknown reason (*might it be the stream of GD's/F-bombs that came out of my mouth this morning due to a breakfast disaster? and if we're being honest continued through the rest of the day.)  In our bedroom the ONLY channels that have not been braodcasting any sound for the past 24+ hours are, of course: Bravo and E. Mark is loving it, natch, and thinks it is absolutely hilarious. I have a feeling he'll grow tired of my sulking soon though and put in a call to Comcast.

Until this issue is resolved, I'll be watching Teen Mom re-runs and drooling over any/everything on the Food Network.

Woe is me........

Baby's Room!

Nearly everything is complete and ready for Mr. Tanner's arrival, including his room! We wanted to do something preppy and nautical, but not over the top or too baby-ish. We absolutely love the way everything turned out and can't wait to have him here to enjoy it.

Great Expectations

Once the baby arrives, I plan on snapping back into shape right away.

That's how it works, no?

I kid, I kid.

But seriously though. Temperatures are holding steady in the 80's with no signs of slowing down and I will need some new warm weather attire. Those adorable pink shorts? Elastic waistband! I'm ahead of the game already.

Other items I've been checking out that I hope will be equally as figure-friendly?

via Anthropologie

Flowy maxi's and forgiving tops....

And, of course, my favorite summer staple, despite the blazing heat:


via JCrew

The perfect pair of white jeans. These will be my motivation, if nothing else.

Yes, we live at the beach. But I can't even wrap my head around the thought of bikini-season. I've been purposefully avoiding that section at all stores. I've chosen to focus more on cover-ups....

Don't think I've left my little man out of all my shopping adventures. Tanner has been cleaning up in the clothes department! One of my favorite purchases:

A total necessity for all infants.

Tired of Bethenny?

Does anyone else feel like there's a big gray cloud hanging over this season of Bethenny Ever After? Thus far, nothing exciting or positive has happened- just a whole lotta bickering between her and Jason, staff departures, etc. Blah....

Conversely, I am loving Giuliana & Bill this season now as much as ever. Although the first episode was a tear-jerker with G revealing the details of her breast cancer diagnosis, her attitude and relationship with Bill makes her even more endearing. She certainly hasn't lost her sense of humor through the tough times and I love that about her. I'm still pulling for them to have that baby they've always wanted!

And, in the interest of full disclosure, you all should know that I'm suffering from a major candy hangover. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I am still finishing off the contents of my Easter basket (and will be for the next few days...)?

Easter Weekend

Pardon my Jessica Simpson-esque appearance. Apparently, that dress was not as flattering as I thought. It looked good on the mannequin?

Candy is BACK! Fingers crossed for portion control today....

33+ Weeks

Nice little Sunday @ the Family Circle Cup (watching Serena Williams totally dominate her poor opponent)
