For Friends and Posterity…

The countdown is ON! 36 weeks always feels like such a milestone to me. Yesterday I discovered that self-portraits are impossible to take. Also, I found out at my doctor’s appointment that our little princess has decided not to flip yet. The stinker is still hanging out feet first! I’m not worried about it. If…

The countdown is ON! 36 weeks always feels like such a milestone to me.

Yesterday I discovered that self-portraits are impossible to take. Also, I found out at my doctor’s appointment that our little princess has decided not to flip yet. The stinker is still hanging out feet first! I’m not worried about it. If anything, it gives me hope that I’ll squeeze a few more days out of the duration of this pregnancy. As excited as I am to snuggle her when she does come, I know that my life will turn upside down shortly thereafter!

In other news, I bought two car-fulls worth of furniture yesterday for $15. Not joking. I love my Wednesday auction! Here’s load #1. Load #2 is getting picked up this morning.



Lots of stuff for clients, some stuff for my home and even more stuff for my basement. Just cuz.

Also, I’m leaving town today and as a result posting might be a little lighter than usual. I promise I’ll be back in full force after Thanksgiving, rested and ready to knock your socks off!

Have a great weekend!

  1. Jenny, you look precious! I can only HOPE to look as adorable at 36 weeks!

    And, I really can't get over two car loads of stuff for less than a 20 spot!
    I'm very excited to see it all appear in a new life at some point on your blog!

    Have a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving!!

  11. You look adorable and I love that you bought so much for so little. Hopefully one of these days we'll get to work together. Good luck on turning that little girl. -Carrie

  12. You look amazing! I think I looked that pregnant at about 20 weeks! I'm amazed by everything you're able to do while pregnant AND with two little girls!

  13. You are absolutely gorgeous & oh so adorable! Wishing that I looked that cute each day! Congratulations on your soon to arrive little baby!

  14. I have never ever looked that good at 36 weeks. Heck, I don't think I've ever looked that good period. So cute!

    Awesome work with the furniture! I love this blog!

  15. If you aren't the CUTEST pregger!!! Just a skinny thing with an enlarged basketball! No swelling? You lucky duck! All the best in these last weeks…and take it EASY! BTW, what kind of "auction" is this that you go to weekly? I'm wondering where to look for such a thing where I live? Please fill us in….God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving! Julie in Omaha.

  16. Jenny you are adorable…love that yellow sweater (my fave color)….I was 180 lbs when I delivered my first, a gain of 60 lbs…thank God it melted right off (6 mos) and I swore I would not GAIN that again next time and I DIDN'T only 55 LOL

    God Bless you and your little family…I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving…

    Safe travels…
    Kathy :)

    ps 15 bucks OMG !!! And I think you look like Vanessa Williams ???

  17. Oh I love your self-portrait. Perhaps you can teach a class titled, "How to be pregnant and look good & the same time all while finding bargains and making spaces look beautiful" I bet you'd make a ton of money:-)

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  18. I'm only a week behind you (35 weeks exactly yesterday!), but this is my first so I'm not as experienced as you. I live right outside of Annapolis and would love to know what auction(s) or shops you go to to get some of your furniture finds? Thanks!

  19. You look great! Pregnancy agree with you!

    So jealous of your furniture for $15!! That is such a great deal, can't wait to see what you do with all of it.

  20. You are so beautiful,wish I looked that stunning when I was pregnant! Love the pic of your car full of furniture!reminds me of me….:-)
    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

  21. KILL ME NOW. You are so adorable! And $15 for two carloads of furniture? Criminal. Absolutely criminal. :)

    Blessings to you and your family!

  22. You are by far the most precious "I am 36 weeks pregnant" pregnant lady ever. I know I won't look like that at 36 weeks–heck, I don't even look like that now!

    Oh, and I love those shoes. :-)

  23. You are all baby and so adorable. I love your red shoes too…
    Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
    Last, where do you find about furniture auctions. I'd love a score like that.

  24. Oh my, you look absolutrly gorgeous preggo!! Love your red shoes too :)
    Looks like you got quite a nice haul at that auction!
