I Need Glasses!


I've been in denial, but it's true...I need glasses.  I blame sitting in front of the computer all day {and all night thanks to blogging!} on my bad eyesight.  I thought that I could read close up just fine...it was far away that was super blurry.  But I went to see my optometrist and he confirmed that I have astigmatism and I am actually squinting when I read the computer screen.  Who knew?  So now, I need to wear glasses when I'm on the computer and any time where I might need to see far away, like at a presentation or conference.  

Enter the need for glasses!

I got some through the optometrist office, but kind of want a second, more "fun" pair to have at home and otherwise.  I've always loved Warby Parker's style, so I had them send me five pairs to try on!


It's a pretty cool concept...they ship you five pairs of glasses of your choice and you get to try them on at home at no cost.  Their pricing on glasses is pretty decent too, at about $100 a pop.  


I tried on all five pairs, but it ultimately came down to the Ballard and the Durand.  I actually didn't order the Durand, but I really love them!

I took a poll on Instagram...but would love to know your thoughts. 

And please excuse my "selfie" pics...clearly not my strong suit!  ;)

15 Weeks


So I think I will do weekly updates, as long as you're ok with slightly blurry iPhone pictures!  ;)

How far along? 15 Weeks {first 15 week update}
Baby Size: An orange
Total weight gain/loss: I think I'm finally back to putting on weight.  I'll find out my official weigh-in later today.
Maternity clothes? Still no.  This dress is from Gap {similar here} and the necklace can be found here.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Still solid.
Best moment this week: Just enjoying Tahoe in the summer.  
Miss Anything? Eating whatever I want.  I had another unfortunate food experience this past week.  I accidentally ate moldy bread.  Now, in my defense, there was no visible mold but it definitely smelled funky and I just wrote it up to my crazy pregnant smell abilities.  But yesterday morning, Ryan went to make a sandwich for Ethan and it smelled SO bad, almost like acetone.  A quick Google search revealed that it's definitely mold.  :(
Movement: Definitely feeling more and more movement by the day...those little kicks are undeniable!
Food cravings: I really want a gourmet doughnut and ice cream.  Anybody??
Have you started to show yet: Definitely a big bump.  I think I can already retire this question.
Gender prediction: Still waiting to see!
Looking forward to: Having my best come to town this weekend and going to Lady Gaga!!
Differences this time around: I feel like everything is going so much faster this time around.  I would count the days down during my first pregnancy and I can't believe I'm already at 15 weeks.  Because of that, I also feel like it's hard for me to focus on the fact that I am pregnant again.  Especially now that I'm feeling better for the most part, it all seems to be pretty surreal.  I'm sure finding out the sex will make me connect more.

Oh and I also went for the "bronde" look...what do you think??

The Jumpsuit



Is it wrong that I'm 4 months pregnant and I want to buy my first jumpsuit?  I'm serious.  We have a couple fun concert coming up and I really want one!  I am thinking that there might be some forgiveness in the mid-section actually.  Anyone have experience wearing jumpsuits while pregnant??

Having a "Bronde" Moment


It's about time for a cut and color, and as always, I'm looking for a change.  I have been going darker with my color lately...adding in more low-lights and I find that I am constantly drawn to that honey blonde/brunette look...I guess they call it "bronde" these days.  It's super natural and pretty!  Here are some inspiration photos:






I'm totally digging this...are you?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
