Well happy Friday! It has been a long week around here and I am so glad to see the weekend. We’re heading east of the mountains to our condo for the weekend and I couldn’t be more excited. Except it’s wine country, and wine tasting is a bit out of the question for me, obviously. Oh well, they have cheese tasting too!
Lots has happened lately so I thought I’d do a good old fashioned life lately update for my Friday post.
1 // I cut my hair again! I cut 8 inches off in September, but the weight of it was still driving me crazy. Your hair really does get so much thicker in pregnancy! So I cut another 3 or 4 inches off. It feels so light and I’m still getting used to it. My hair hasn’t been this short since I was pregnant with Little A 4+ years ago. I would show you a pic but I have zero good ones to share. But it’s about shoulder length and I have some wispy bangs now, so just trust that it looks good.
2 // We put up our tree and Christmas decorations this week. I know I’m not the only one who did, and I also know some of you probably think it’s too early, but here’s my reasoning. We are gone for about a large part of the month of December. K is gone a week for work, we’re in Whistler for 4 days and we’re also heading to Aspen for a week. So we are barely home to enjoy the tree this year. I wanted to make sure we got in some good holiday cheer this year even though there will be a lot of traveling taking place.
3 // I shared this photo on Instagram yesterday, but I think that was my last run with baby #2 in utero. The last few times I’ve run I have ended up with some unpleasant pain in my groin region (TMI?). I’m not sure if it’s ligament pain or pressure from the baby because I’m carrying so low, but it lasts a few days (and sometimes up to a week). I’ve only gotten the pain when running so I figured it’s about time to slow the pace and just go to walking, while continuing my weight program. I’m really bummed because cold weather running is my favorite (check out my list of must have cold weather running gear) and I was really looking forward to it after the hot summer we had where I didn’t run much at all. But, cold weather walks will be good as well. And I did get approval from my OB to ski this year so I’ll still be enjoying at least one of my favorite winter sports.
4 // I finally joined Snapchat a few weeks ago! I know I’m late to the party, but I really did not need any more social media in my life. But I actually really like it and besides Instagram would say it’s top of my list for favorite social media platform. I’m still learning how to find people, so come follow me at atouchofgrace2.
5 // I mentioned above, but the hubs leaves for Ireland the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The first part of November was Germany, now Ireland. He also got to spend a day in Zurich (where they flew into) because their meetings in Germany got done a day early. Where the heck is my invite husband?! This would be the perfect babymoon, hello! He thinks I’ll just be bored the whole time because he’ll be in meetings every day. What I really think the deal is, is he will be bored sitting in meetings all day every day while I would be out exploring the glorious country and having a great time, and he would be jealous. I think that’s the real reason he doesn’t want me to go. All I have to say to that is that he better have another idea up his sleeve for a babymoon because this mama deserves it. Can I get an amen!
He did bring me back these delish Swiss chocolates, so that’s something I guess.
Linking up with Amanda, April and Karli today. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and you are able to relax before next weekend’s chaos of holiday shopping begins.
Hiiii! I want to see your hair 😉 You just inspired me… i think i’m going to put up my xmas decorations this weekend. I just want to, okay? And I just added you on snap chat!
Hope you enjoy the weekend in the mountains girl and yay for snap chat – just added you! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Jealous that K gets to go to so many cool places!! Yes, you need a great babymoon! You should send me a photo of the haircut even if you think it’s a bad photo 🙂 Enjoy the weekend! Sounds like a blast! We’ll finally be getting our winter clothes out of storage.
YAY Snapchat! Added you.
Happy Friday, girl. Friday’s before a short week are my favorite, too. I cannot WAIT for some down time!
Yeah!!! Snapchat is the best get ready to be addicted. Adding you!
Explain snap chat to me! I just don’t get it! 🙂 I would love to learn!
You totally need a babymoon! How crazy that he gets to travel to all these cool places. You definitely should get to go too. 😉
My daughter has snapchat, and I don’t. I don’t understand it. Does that make me old? I guess I better google it?!
Enjoy your weekend! Sounds like a fun time! 🙂
Yay for xmas decorations!! We put ours up this week too 🙂

I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
Those chocolates look delicious! And what a fun trip for your husband! Even though you don’t get to come, boooo! It’s rough having your husband gone near the holidays! And we’re going to put our tree up tomorrow because we’ll be out of town for Thanksgiving and I’d love to have it up when we get home!
I saw your update on IG about no more running and wanted to tell you it might help to call a prenatal specialist.
When I was preggers I faced the same uncomfortable issue and one in Portland helped me through it. Just something to think about.
PS: Now I want chocolate! 🙂
That’s really good to know thanks Sarah! I do need to at least call my OB and let him know because the pain is still there.
We put up our decorations this weekend! No shame. We’re about to have a baby, and you think decorating will be at the top of our list after he comes? Nope. So hate on, haters. I stopped running at 26 weeks with Henry and stopped at 20 weeks with this one! Second time babies and that ligament pain, no good. Now I’m slowly waddling on a treadmill and taking every modification in yoga classes – but I’m still out there getting my sweat on. I know you’ll be like that too. Get it mama! 🙂
