Hello and happy weekend! I’m finally at a point where I feel caught up with work, for the first time in probably a month, so that feels great! This coming week will be my last full week before taking some time off over the holidays, which I’m also looking forward to. Speaking of, can you even believe that Christmas is so soon? Have you finished your holiday shopping (if you’re doing any?). I have one last gift to pick up and then I’ll be done! If you’re still shopping and need some ideas, don’t forget about my gift guides.

We have our anatomy scan to find out whether baby is a boy or a girl in just a few weeks! I can’t wait to find out! We opted to wait for the 20-week mark (versus doing the 12-week blood test) to have something to look forward to and I’m so glad we did. It’s not until the last week or so, as the appointment is finally getting closer, that I’m getting very antsy to find out. Neither of us have strong leanings either way, although we are both thinking opposite sexes, so I’m so curious to see who is right!

I’ve been wearing this soft and warm sherpa cardigan around the house almost every day since it arrived. It’s perfect for this time of year!

We started season three of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and, so far, it’s just as enjoyable to watch as the first two seasons. If you’re looking for a new show, I highly recommend giving it a shot!

A couple weekend sales:
30% off at Anthropologie, including my monogram mug, one of my favorite scarves, and the best-smelling candle

25% off at Madewell (plus 40% of some things!), including my cocoon coat, my crossbody tote, and many of their jeans

Have a great weekend!

    I’m pregnant too (due May 25) and we have our anatomy scan scheduled for January 2 and I. Cannot. Wait. We already have a little girl who is deadset that it’s a girl so she can have a sister (so she can be like Elsa and Anna haha) so it’ll be fun to see if she’s right!
