Scenes From Our Weekend

We had another jam packed weekend but it was so fun.   The weekends are flying by hard to believe its only 4 weekends til my due date.  I am getting so excited but also freaking out a bit. 

Friday Night we had a couples date with three of our best friends at Xiao Bao Biscuit.  It was so fun and nice to get out and have adult time.  We don't do couples date nights often enough.  We had incredible eats and such a lovely night.

I wore my Phillip Lim for Target Leopard print dress.  Ladies this dress is awesome if you are pregnant although I am sure it is cute not pregnant too.  It is still available online HERE and it is on clearance for $20,  grab it while you can!  At this point in my pregnancy there is really no hiding this massive bump so I figure I better flaunt it while I got it!  Kind of loving using the nursery for my new selfies.


 If you ever go to Xiao Bao Biscuit, you must get the cabbage pancake- loaded with a fried egg, bacon, and pork candy.  It is so good I dream about it.


Saturday was my Sprinkle for baby girl! I have the most amazing friends who showed up to shower me and the baby with lots of love and precious gifts.  I feel so blessed.  I have to give Sarah at Social Dress Shop mad props, the original dress I picked out didn't come in the mail in time for the shower so she drove a few dresses to my sisters house for her to drive down to me.  That is a good friend and good business owner.  If you are pregnant and need a dress for a special occasion, The Line and Dot dress I wore is perfection.  My sister tried it on too and it was cute not pregnant as well- plus its onsale right now:)  I highly recommend it, black and white is always such a classic combo.

I wore: 


My mom let me borrow a few of her bracelets for the shower that I am now obsessed with.  I am thinking they would be a great push present:)  I love that you can layer them together or with other bracelets.  I am not a huge jewelry person but these are some of my favorite bracelets!


My mom and sister came down for the weekend and I was so glad they could come to my sprinkle. My sister wore one of the the dresses Sarah sent me that sadly I could not squeeze my belly in.  It looked amazing on her, the perfect little shift dress.   On Taylor:


Here is a group shot from the shower, love my friends so much!

Sunday we hit up the Butcher and Bee for lunch and had the most amazing fries covered in blue cheese and arugula. 

Then we hit up the Outlets.  Sterling and his cousin Finley are too precious together.  I love seeing them bond!


The nursery is finally almost done, my rocking chair is recovered and ready to be picked up this week and my light fixture is en route,  then I am done.  I can't wait for the final reveal!  This weekend my knobs for our dresser finally came, they were back-ordered, but so worth the wait.  If you need brass pulls check out these from Anthropologie!  They really transformed the dresser (it had old wooden knobs before).

That is all I have for today!  Happy Monday.  I am off to spend the morning with my mom and sister before they head out of town this afternoon!

Love the knobs on your dresser! Anthro has the best knobs, I was looking there for a dresser I just repainted!

I am so excited you mentioned the Charriol bracelets as push presents! My husband gave me one as a push present and another for Mother's Day. I love they are suitable to wear everyday.
