1. Lisa Leonard Designs - OMG, I am so in love with Lisa's jewelry!! Namely this necklace...and this one...and this one :) Lisa just launched a new decor line and there are some really cute items that would make fun gifts! I am particularly fond of this little magic wand and if I could find an excuse to buy one for myself then I would. Maybe I'll have to get one for a photo prop! Oh, and I also love this little wall hanging bird that I think I need for the baby's room...now if only we could decide on a name! I bought ornaments from her last year to give to my baby planners and I was really, really happy with the way they turned out. The quality is awesome and the ornaments were just so pretty. I can't wait to order more this year!
2. Old Navy yoga pants - I am pretty much living in these things these days. Regular pants and jeans cut into my waist when I sit and I feel like I'm bruised and beaten by the end of the work day. The yoga pants are so comfortable and so far have held up in the washer/dryer. Plus they are cheap, especially when you can get them on sale!! I need to head out this weekend and get a few more I think...
3. McDonald's chocolate shake - Have you had one of these lately! YOU SHOULD. Now, it has been a while since I'd had a milkshake from McD's. I think the last time I had on they were still the weird fake chocolate things served in the standard paper drink cup that fell apart before you could finish what was inside. Not the case anymore, folks!! The shake is a creamy, milky goodness and it's topped with whipped cream and a cherry and comes in a plastic cup (please recycle) with a dome lid to hold said whipped cream. Yep. Awesomeness all around. This is replacing my Eggnog milkshake addiction and I am 100% ok with that. I think I may have to try the Strawberry flavor soon!
4. Aden & Anais swaddle blankets - these might possibly be the best swaddle blankets out there. They are big, like really big. You could probably swaddle two babies at one time they are so big. The fabric is a really soft muslin so it's breathable, perfect for summertime! I have several of these that I use for my newborn clients (those that like to be swaddled!) and I need to get some for baby #2 soon. I try to find the swaddle blankets for cheaper if I can. They are kind of expensive (still totally worth it!) but I can usually find good deals on Ebay so I always check there first.
They also have sleep sacks that I want to try- too bad they don't make those in adult sizes! I'd be all over that!
5. This gender reveal by, and for, this photographer is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. SO creative, SO personal and SO sweet!! I'm a HUGE fan of her work anyway, but this little video put her at the top of my "Totally in Awe of You" list. For realz. I think I've watched it like, 161 times and I get teary every time.
...162 times. Still teary!
And for those of you keep track, this is terrible phone photo #2- just to give you an idea of what I look like at 34 weeks pregnant and HUGE. I thought I was big before! I was so wrong. I know I don't look very happy in this picture, but I am. I'm just really, really, really uncomfortable and tired and wishing I could just go to bed until May. And I need a haircut but don't have time to get one.
Blech. This may be the last terrible phone photo, I'm really not doing myself any favors posting them.

Ok, you just made me want to try one of those shakes! I second the Old Navy maternity pants; I haven't given them up since pregnancy! What is the gender reveal thing you speak of? So curious!
Thank you so much for the sweet words about the gender reveal! It was so much fun to make! Your baby bump is super cute! Hopefully by now you've delivered or are close to delivering! Good luck!
