Hey!
I hope y’all had a great weekend! It’s a bagillion degrees here right now and I will fully admit that getting through the summer with a pregnant belly and 20 extra lbs of weight on your frame isn’t as fun as it looks (no, really).
My ribs have been hurting again (they did the last time too) and I’m uncomfortable pretty much daily. It started much earlier this time around, just like everyone told me it would. Nevertheless, I’m thankful for this sweet babe, but please can it just get a little cooler outside?
(taken at 26 weeks wearing this top…I’ll be 28 weeks on Wednesday…eeekk!)
Harper has been quite the sweetie lately. She will suddenly say “I need hugs” or “I need cuddles” and I’m always more than happy to oblige.
Speaking of being sweet, Harper got a super sweet delivery on Friday of a beautiful romper from Shop Stork. How precious are those three little ice cream cones?
Shop Stork has generously offered a 20% off code for my readers too— just enter VERONIKASBLUSHING at checkout through July 31st! It’s also free shipping in the U.S. (yay!)
They also sent some super cute items for baby boy — a Beau Loves onesie and KiraKids leggings. Love all of the online shops I’m seeing carrying fun, trendy and different boy clothes!
Harper wore her new romper and a LouLou & Company bow headband to her friend Margot’s second birthday party on Saturday. It was so much fun and my friend did an amazing job hand-making the decor. It was the sweetest little fiesta theme.

Saturday night I celebrated Candice’s birthday with friends. A group of us had dinner at SaltAir Seafood Kitchen and they brought out a massive cotton candy dessert with a sparkler after we ate our meals. Yes please!
Today we enjoyed a train-themed birthday party at Little Gym celebrating Harper’s friend Tyler (Happy second birthday little guy!) and then after nap time we all hung out with Candice and went out for dinner together. Harper had a blast exploring Candice’s house and playing with her wooden tea set.
And before I go, I’ll remind you that Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is nearly ending and you can still pick up this beautiful Kate Spade wallet at the discounted price. I’ve been loving mine!
Coming up on the blog this week, I have a fun review of a subscription service I recently got to try out…stay tuned for this look and a few others!
I know it's got to be uncomfortable in the heat, I was hot in May! But you look so good, and so close!
My son is just a few months younger than Harper (actually, that's how I found your blog. I was looking to read about someone else's pregnancy experience when I was pregnant), and he just started asking for hugs and kisses too. It is the most precious thing in the world!

I feel you! I am turning 38 weeks and I live in california.. Our usual temp here is in the high 80's to 100's! It's been crazy..
You look so cute! Ugh I feel so uncomfortable already too at only 21 weeks.. I don't remember feeling like this until well into the 3rd trimester last time!
