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.

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.

Now that Christmas is less than one week away, it means New Years Eve is right behind. I thought I’d share a fun and festive look for the big night. This sparkly maxi dress gives me some disco ball vibes, which I highlighted even more with my metallic silver leather jacket. But since I’m six months pregnant I dressed it down on the bottom with my trusty vans high-tops. Kind of a mullet of looks – glam on top, casual on the bottom.

I’m over half-way through my second pregnancy and if there’s anything I learned from the first time it’s that getting dressed isn’t always easy. Luckily last time I picked up some tricks (aka closet staples) to soften the blow. I have a couple of tried and true pairs of jeans that I’m still fitting in/relying on heavily. And I’ve also been trying out two new pairs of maternity jeans.

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.

I love a bold pop for the holidays… and that’s just what this bright pink Sanctuary cardigan is. It makes my more understated outfit a little bit festive and fun. Plus it’s really warm. I haven’t really worn anything this bright in a while, but I have to say I’m loving it.

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.

Happy Monday! After today there are only 4 more Monday’s in 2018. How insane is that?! A couple weeks ago I noticed the trees in our neighborhood dropping leaves like crazy. And obviously this is something to get excited about since we live in Orange County and aren’t that used to seeing. Crosby and I put on our coziest sweaters and headed out to play in the leaves. My pink cowl neck sweater from BB Dakota is under $100 and also comes in black. It’s so soft and kind of feels like wearing a bathrobe… not mad at that.
