eating: so much peanut butter + jam on toast. I am hungry kind of all of the time lately, and this 100% hits the spot, no matter what time of day.
feeling: so much movement from this little guy. Sometimes I feel a niggling worry about what the might indicate for a potentially hyperactive child… sometimes I feel gratitude and appreciation for how wild and special and it all is - after all, wasn't sure I would ever feel a baby move inside of me again... and sometimes I feel like I just. want. to. sleep.
going: to the cottage nearly every weekend. On a little woodsy "camping" getaway with Peter, and even a couple of outdoor restaurant dates. With Hendrik to swimming lessons, science camp drop off, and bike + scooter rides. To some family cookouts and gatherings. Pretty standard summer stuff - but having all of this (nearly) normal feels so good this year!
ordering: a few things for a little postpartum capsule wardrobe. I remember feeling like I wanted some slightly flowier/looser options after Hendrik was born, and feeling pretty blah about wardrobe in general (not fitting into maternity or regular clothes), so I’m seeing if it works to head it off with a few things n reserve. Got a couple of these great mix and match seersucker pieces from Madewell (elastic waists will be a plus at that point too), and though it doesn't exactly match the capsule this dress is working for now + will be good for later as well thanks to the nursing-friendly button-front design.
realizing: that I am well and truly out of bookshelf space. As evidence, here's the overflow spot: the top of the piano. (And yes, I realize maybe I should maybe accumulate fewer books, but instead I've acquired this new shelf for the living room, that I just need to get around to assembling.)
What are you currently up to this July - and is the season flying by as quickly for you as it is for me? Before we know it, August will be here, and with it the next linkup on Wednesday the 4th, when I'll pop in from my pre-maternity leave week of vacation to share what I'm currently: admiring, anticipating, enjoying, spending, and saving.
