Style right at your door.

Maxi Dress: Target, Kimono: BUMPstyle Box, c/o; Turquoise Bib Necklace: Hallelu {old},

but looove this; Long Turquoise Necklace: gifted {similar here and here}, Lips: MAC-Girl About Town

I think it's safe to say we're looking pretty large and in charge these days...

this boy is ripe and ready for picking;) His mama and daddy are ready too.

Tomorrow we have our last office visit with my OB.

We're definitely set to induce Tuesday {wow!!}. Tomorrow she'll be letting

us know if we need to come in Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

I'm going to try and squeeze in one more post before then,

if I don't get the chance though I do have a slate of amazing blogger friends that are

going to be sharing with you guys the next few weeks while I tend to my little boy.

I'll pop in every now and then, but I definitely want to soak in every minute I can of our new little family.

{You can also stay more up-to-date with our adventures the next few weeks through my Instagram}

On another note,

I also wanted to share with you guys my love for BUMPstyle Box.

This is seriously the best thing ever for you fashionable and busy moms-to-be!
They do all of the work for you!
First-create your style profile, then select a date and time to
chat over the phone with your personal stylist. During this
time your stylist will also instruct you as to how your credit card
information needs to be entered on your profile.
{Important to note-when your box is shipped, half the total value of the box
will show up as a "pending charge" on your bank account. This is simply
BUMPstyle Box putting a hold on your card. Your card will not actually be charged
until your box has been returned and will only be charged for the amount of items you decide to keep.}
Lastly-you receive your box, along with a note from your stylist suggesting
how to wear each of the items. Simply keep what you love and
return the rest, shipping is free both ways. Can't beat it!
Going through the contents of the box was SO much fun!
Mine contained lots of postpartum items since I'm nearing the end of my
pregnancy...like adorable nursing clothes, leggings, Milkscreen,
LilyPadz {silicon nursing pads}, a beautiful Loren Hope necklace, the kimono
I have on above, and perhaps my favorite...a matching pair of pajamas for baby
and I to wear at the hospital {does it get any cuter??}.
Check out their video below to learn more about how BUMPstyle Box works!

Thank you again for the positive thoughts and prayers everyone is sending our way. Love you guys!!

Nearing the finish line.

Jacket: H&M, Dress: ASOS Maternity, Cap: J.Crew, Monogram Necklace: Max&Cleo,

Pearl Necklace: eBay, Tassel Necklace: Very Jane, Sunnies: Charming Charlie's,

Lips: MAC-Viva Glam I, Bag: Merci-Fortune

On the baby front we are a couple of days shy of 38 weeks.

Unbelievable. I feel like this pregnancy has flown by and drug on all at the same time.

At my appointment last week we found out our little guy is already

weighing in at almost 7 lbs {yikes!}. To avoid trying to deliver a 9-10 lb baby {bigger yikes!} at 40+ weeks,

it's looking like we're going to go ahead and induce at week 39 if Mr. babe doesn't decide

to make his appearance before then. Sooo we're going to have this boy here in about a week!

I'm feeling so many different emotions right now....nervous, excited, anxious.

I can't believe Jonathan and I are about to become parents!

Please keep us in your prayers over the next few days...

that everything would go smoothly and successfully for J, sweet baby, and me.

Thank you sweet friends, you have all been so incredibly supportive.

I've loved getting to share this special time with all of you.

As I leave you guys, here's my 38 week update...

How far along: 38 weeks

Baby is the size of: a pumpkin

Maternity clothes:

Ha, come on.

Sleep:

Comes and goes.

Best moment of the week:

Finding out we'll likely be seeing this boy sooner than later!

Miss anything:

Chinese!!! It's my absolute favorite but my swelling is getting so bad I
can't have it because of the sodium:(((

Food cravings:

Ice cream and chocolate milk.

Anything making you queasy or sick:

Coffee has been kind of unappealing which is not normal for this girl.

Have you started to show yet:

See evidence above.

Labor signs: Can tell he's reeeeeally dropped this week but no contractions so far.

Belly button in or out: Oh gah.

Wedding rings on or off:
So off. Any hand jewelry is pretty much the enemy at this point.

Happy or moody most of the time:

Haha I'm going to go with both?? So happy but also overwhelmed
by all that needs to get done before he gets here.

Looking forward to:

My last shower and getting to see more friends and family.
This boy already has a lot of admirers;)

P.S. Tomorrow is the last day to enter my giveaway with Harper Designs!
