ripe


here, as promised, is an outfit post. the top/dress is the one i spoke of in my previous post. it was one of the many lovely items milla sent in her package. it's a special piece because, apparently many other pregnant mama's have worn it. so, i feel blessed to be the next in line to wear and cherish it while it's in my possession.



the embroidery is gorgeous, as you can see. i felt pretty all day while wearing it, which can be difficult when you're 9 months pregnant. i think milla's happy vibes clung to the top and rubbed off me :D

she also sent a floral skirt, a sweater, an adorable shawl, a hat, a dress and top and her most awesome leather leaf hair clips. now, i'm not gonna lie. when we originally talked about the swap, months back, i was really hoping there would be one in the package, but to my surprise there were two! i've already worn them many times. thank you so much magical milla for everything, you are too sweet!


as the title of this post says, i'm ripe! only a couple more weeks and we will be meeting our new babe. right now i'm just preparing for the homebirth- cleaning, getting supplies, doing laundry and mentally preparing... i'm planning on having a doula this time, which i think will really be beneficial. i met with her yesterday at my appointment with my midwife and she was super sweet. eventhough this is my fourth, i feel i still need direction and help with the pain. hopefully this baby will be smaller than shane, he was 9 lbs 8 oz! of course my first natural birth was with the biggest of the three. anyway, many exciting things to look forward to!

if i don't post again before Easter, i wish you all a most blessed day!

  8. Anne, you're so beautiful and radiant! Looking at you makes me wonder if I didn't actually get that dress just for you. It is fun to think that it had been a baby shower dress for a group of ladies on the Island next to us for a while and now it will serve you at the end of your pregnancy ;)

    I hope that these remaining weeks will be as easy-going as possible and that you have a wonderful birth. All our blessings and good thoughts and happy Easter too, m'dear.
