First of all, I wanted to take a moment to say Happy Anniversary to Chris!!!! Today is our 4th Wedding Anniversary and I have to say, I love him now more than ever! Chris sees in me things that I don’t even think I realize sometimes and is always pushing me to do better. He makes me feel alive and he makes me laugh. We have been through so much together and I can’t imagine doing life with anyone else. We are sooooo excited to meet our daughter in just a few short weeks!!!

Listening: To lots of Christmas music!! Still trying to feel fall and the holiday season. Thanksgiving is TWO WEEKS from today. That is crazy you guys!! It sure doesn’t feel like it but I am trying. Other than Christmas tunes, I have been listening to Shotgun Lovesongs on audiobook on my commute. It’s been on my list forever and comes highly recommended by many, so far I am enjoying it.

Shotgun Lovesongs

Reading: Trophy Wife – So far so good on this one too. I just started it on Tuesday, trying to work through my Netgalley list and not let it get out of control. You know, since I requested two more books yesterday. Oops.

Trophy Wife

Watching: Last night we caught up on Lucifer. I don’t know why, but I just love this show!!! Have you tried it? It came out last year and is in the second season.

Working: My plan is to work until I can’t anymore, based on my weekly doctor appointments. I have been trying to stay ahead to leave as little left over as possible for my coworkers. Around the house we still have a few things to do in the nursery. Hopefully the dresser will be in this week and I can set up the rest of her stuff that I have sitting around. Other than that, I really would like to start pulling out our Christmas stuff this weekend. I know it is early, but I am due the week after Thanksgiving and I am already feeling miserable basically all the time now and I just want to get it done while I can still sort of move around.

Feeling: Excited. Anxious. Nervous. It’s weird to know that any day things could change and I could go in to labor at this point. I am considered “full term” tomorrow. As stated above, I have reached that point of pregnancy where I am just really uncomfortable all of the time. So much swelling, back pain, and just feeling large and sluggish. Someone commented yesterday on how much slower I walk now. Yeah, no kidding! You try carrying around a whole bunch of extra weight out front with your feet and ankles five times the size they normally are.

Have you seen the article about all the different red cups that are coming out today at Starbucks? I guess everyone can breathe again who was bitching about the green ones. People are ridiculous! I was actually planning on picking up a Peppermint Mocha this morning anyways because #Thursday. What have you been reading, listening, watching, excited for?

Linking up with Joey

    I forgot the red cups come out today, yeah people need to get over the whole green cup controversy, so silly! Oh sweetie, I can only imagine what is going through your mind right now in the last month. So many feelings, such a special time you’re handling it all like a champ and such wonderful mother you are going to be!

    happy anniversary nadine!!!
    hope you like shotgun lovesongs! i really enjoyed it, i just wanted more (not trying to spoil or taint lol).
    every time i get on netgalley to see the damage and try and get it under control, i accidentally request more.
    i can’t believe you are considered full term tomorrow! of course i hope baby Z keeps cooking as long as she wants, but I am so excited for her to get here!!!!

    Happy Happy Anniversary!! Hope you two have the best day today! So excited for you to two to welcome your girl in a few weeks – you’ll love each other more than you ever thought you could!!!

    Happy Anniversary to you and Chris!! Your wedding photos are gorgeous!!!
    Yay for being full-term! The end is so hard because it feels like your body is incapable of doing so many things (besides growing a baby). So tiring but the exciting part is coming up soon!! I bet Shotgun Lovesongs would be great on audio – I haven’t read it yet but it seems like it would be well suited to that based on what I’ve heard.
    Enjoy the peppermint mocha! 😉

    Love your sweet wedding pic! Happy Anniversary! These people pissed about a cup need to get a life. Good Lord. I’ve been thinking of putting up our Christmas decor, too, because we travel so much during the holidays. If it makes you happy, who cares?

  • Reply Audrey November 10, 2016 at 9:19 am

    Oh em gee, those wedding photos are adorable! You guys are SO cute and happy- and you both look great, too!

    Just the other day I was trying to decide if Lucifer was something I wanted to try to get into. We don’t watch a lot of TV, but typically we have one show that we watch together.
    I love that style pin and the kitchen one. And the dog one! 🙂 I can’t believe how soon your little lady is going to arrive! So crazy!

    Happy Anniversary to you and Chris! Your wedding pictures are so pretty!!! I hope these next few weeks aren’t too bad for you. The home stretch is tough, make sure to ask Chris for some extra foot and back rubs. I really feel like there are so many people in this world that just like to complain about things…a cup.

    Happy anniversary!!! You guys are so cute together. Ahhhh you’re so close! I am watching out for your baby like I’m in stalker mode. I hope you are not uncomfortable too much longer and she makes her appearance soon.

    How in the world is Thanksgiving 2 weeks away??? It should be farther away since it still doesn’t feel like fall outside! I think that we’re going to start listening to Christmas music soon, and I seriously can’t wait! Just give me all the Michale Buble and Pentatonix!

  • Reply Rach @ This Italian Family November 10, 2016 at 2:28 pm

    The construction joke is hilarious! They have been doing massive construction on the interstate here for the past several years and they keep claiming that they are nearly done and I just can’t bring myself to believe it, haha!

    And thanks for sharing the 30 paleo recipes. I’m checking those out right now!

    Oh, and I’m so with you on the Christmas music! Love!

    And finally, LOVE these shots of you guys together! How adorable are you both?! Happy anniversary! 🙂

    Aww, happy anniversary to you two!! 🙂 That little girl is gonna have some awesome parents! ANY DAY NOW!? Isn’t that such a crazy feeling?! I only enjoyed that feeling for like 2 days before Tyler was born lol- but it was so weird knowing that anything could happen at anytime. Hang in there, momma!! I didn’t know the red cups were out until I got on Instagram and every other photo was one haha

    The doggy construction meme is hilarious, haha. Awe, Happy Anniversary guys!! Turkey stuffed peppers are the bomb. I love making those. They’re easy and oh so delicious. People bitch about everything now a days, good lord! I can’t handle it. I’ve hardly been on FB the past couple days.

  • Reply texerinsydney November 15, 2016 at 1:16 am

    I’m reading this a few dates late and thinking “so, Nadine is ‘full term’ now, so does that mean she can have the baby at any time?!?!?!” Wowza!
