Becoming Bailey

Currently…

August 18, 2019 By Bailey

Since it’s been nearly a month (!!!) since I last blogged, I thought an easy way for me to get back in the swing of writing would be to do an old-fashioned “Currently” post. No pictures in this post, because I don’t care that much 😉

Wearing… dresses, all day every day. I’ve worn dresses nearly every day since that pregnancy test was positive and will continue to wear them for as long as I can. Even once the temperature drops, I plan to add a sweater and a pair of leggings to my summer dresses to make them last as long as possible. I have barely purchased any maternity clothes (minus a tank top, one pair of shorts, a pair of leggings, two swimsuits, and some new bras) and don’t plan on buying any since I work from home and no one sees my outfits anyway! On the rare occasion when I need to wear something that covers my legs (aka for chiropractic appointments), I’ve been wearing a pair of my husband’s athletic shorts and one of his t-shirts.

Listening to… At this exact moment, I’m listening to my dogs snore, and my husband play a video game. In general, I’ve been listening to lots of podcasts with my current favorites being The Lifegiver Podcast by Corie Weathers, Out of the Ordinary by Lisa-Jo Baker and Christie Purifoy, and Journeywomen by Hunter Beliss.

Excited for… My sister and brother-in-law are coming to visit next month! It will be Brandi & Aaron’s first time visiting Iowa. This will be my last hurrah before Baby C arrives.

Scheduling… All the obstetrician appointments! I just scheduled all of my appointments and testing for the remainder of this pregnancy, and I feel like I might as well move in the doctor’s office!

Adding to cart… Other than the necessary baby items, the last thing I’ve purchased was some new photos and frames. It’s been over 2 years since I last bought prints to hang up in our house, so I’m excited about an update! Andy thought it was silly that I insisted on buying new photos and frames when we PCS next summer, but whatever it takes to keep me content!

Planning… I’ve started planning our September budget. Between traveling, TDYs, and pregnancy, our budget has been incredibly lax for most of 2019. The type-A personality in me cringes, knowing that our financial goals for this year have been completely ignored. Hopefully, the remaining months of 2019 will be a bit calmer, and we will be able to save money for Baby, next summer’s PCS, and put a bit extra towards paying off the truck.

Eating… Leftover Mexican food from Las Palmas. I don’t know what it is about Las Palmas’ recipe, but their ground beef tacos are amazing. Can someone please clue me in on how Mexican restaurants make ground beef taste so good?!

Happy Sunday, friends!
