What day is it? Is anyone else in a post-Christmas fog? The days between Christmas and New Years always seem to blend into a weird haze and I never really know what to do with myself. This year I'm being lazy and productive... the best of both worlds. Jeff's been cleaning out the garage and once he finishes that we'll be tackling the guest room. But let's move on to what I'm wearing.

Merry Christmas Eve! I hope you had a fun holiday weekend, we sure did! We had a holiday dinner Friday night, went to a friend's house to watch the boat parade again Saturday night and snuck in one last visit with Santa yesterday. This time we brought Jeff along too and didn't torture Crosby by making her sit on Santa's lap.... we still got the Santa photos though.
on me: dress c/o, similar boots
My go-to outfit lately has been a sweater and jeans. It keeps me warm and it's comfortable enough to work with my bump at the stage I'm in right now. I've been loving Madewell's sweater selection this winter. This one is especially fun with the striped balloon sleeves. It has a slight boxy fit and I went one size up to make it work with my bump.

This is the second time I've been pregnant around the holidays and it's interesting. In some ways it's really great, like indulging in all the yummy food that's around this time of year. Wearing all the cozy layers - sweaters, jackets, etc. But it comes with challenges too... always being the designated driver and trying to figure out what to wear to a holiday party when all you want is to sit on your couch in your PJ's. I think I found the answer to the what to wear part. This velour jumpsuit is just as comfortable as pajamas, but looks super chic. It's not maternity, but definitely has enough give to work with a bump. Perfect for pregs AND regs.

Last week I posted a photo of Crosby and I in matching pj's on instagram and this week we're back with more. These cute pajamas are from PJ Salvage and you know I love the mommy and me matching prints. I sized up to a 2T on Crosby's jammies and got a cute little one piece matching romper for baby boy. They're a little big on her this year but hopefully they'll both fit into them next year and we can match again.
on me: similar beanie, top c/o, bottoms c/o

I've never done a post on gifts for a new mom - or pregnant friend, wife, etc! I thought now would be the perfect time. It seems like every time I turn around, or login to instagram, someone new is announcing their pregnancy. And I don't feel like that will slow down anytime soon! I put together some of my favorite things that I think would be great gifts and even wore several of them for this post. Check them out below.
on me: jacket c/o, sunglasses, tee c/o, leggings c/o, similar shoes, diaper bag c/o
