{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It was a beautiful week here in DC, and a few days below 90 degrees has me really looking forward to cooler fall days in just a few weeks.  We also had a busy week of baby preparations, from taking a birth class to scheduling consultations with prospective pediatricians, and with so much information to process and things to think about it has been easy to feel overwhelmed.  We’re slowly starting to feel more and more prepared – as much as we can for first time parents!  But in the meantime…

Happy Friday everyone!  As much as I’d like for the days and weeks to slow down just a smidge (pleaseandthankyouverymuch), I’ll be happy to wave goodbye to summer in a few weeks.  Being 7+ months (we’re at 32 weeks!) pregnant during the hot and humid DC summer?  Maybe not the best idea I’ve ever had… so I’m distracting myself with daydreams of cooler days and beautiful fall foliage.  But in the meantime…

Stationery A – Z: New Baby Congratulations

Boy or girl, little ‘peanut’ or ‘monkey’ (for those hoping to be surprised on the due date), there are so many clever new baby congratulations cards out there.  Don’t even think about going to get those generic ones at the corner drugstore!  These cards are just a click away or, if you’re lucky, waiting for you at your local stationery shop.  Plus, you’ve got time, due dates are subjective, right?*  Nearly every gender-specific card on our list is also accompanied by its counterpart on their website.  As for the perfect baby shower gift … best wishes!  — Tashia

Happy Friday everyone!  We’re currently in upstate New York for a few days to spend time with my husband’s family, including our nieces + nephew, before the baby arrives in just a couple of months (eek!).  It’s also really nice to escape the heat and humidity of DC for a few days!  Today I’m heading out a bit early and hoping you all have a wonderful weekend!  But in the meantime…
