3.21.2011 - Work

2011-03-21T20:45:00.000-07:00

Um, ok... I am messing around with the Kodak EasyTouch trying to learn all the little tricks before Junior comes and I have to assume my role as parent/papparazzi (although we don't call my mom "Papparazzi Peg" for nothing, so I have good back up!)
Clearly this attempt was a massive FAIL.

YIKES!!! (But do take note - sandal weather has blossomed, and I even managed to paint my toe nails!)

3.20.2011 - Brunch

2011-03-20T15:12:00.000-07:00

Yay for brunch with FABULOUS Deanne on a beautiful Colorado day when we could enjoy the patio!

2011-03-18T14:23:00.001-07:00

3.16.2011 - Errands, Doc's Appointment, etc

2011-03-16T21:20:00.000-07:00

Took a couple days off to run around getting things finished up - also have a Doc's appointment to make sure the little guy is all turned in the right direction and doing swell (ETA - He is!)

Also, Potter got to try out a new Doggie Day Care - and he knew something exciting was going on, so he is waiting impatiently for me to be ready to go:

3.15.2011 - Work

2011-03-15T12:01:00.000-07:00

Ok - this is REALLY casual... but it is Spring Break on campus, so it is really quiet, and I am taking a few days off after this,so I am feeling pretty mellow...

3.14.2011 - Work

2011-03-14T14:12:00.000-07:00

3.9.2011 - Work

2011-03-08T14:15:00.000-08:00

Had a meeting today, so I busted out the maternity skirt that (until now) had been so big I thought I might not be able to use it.
Comfy...

3.4.2011 - Work

2011-03-04T14:03:00.000-08:00

3.3.2011 - Work, Doc's Appointment

2011-03-03T13:44:00.000-08:00

Appointments every 2 weeks now - squee!

3.2.2011 Work (and work shower!)

2011-03-02T21:40:00.000-08:00

My gracious Co-workers had a baby shower for me today at work - so nice!

3.1.2011 - Work

2011-03-01T11:51:00.000-08:00

It is a good thing I work in a casual environment - normally I like to be a bit dressier than most around here, but lately I am all about being comfy a lot.

2.28.2011 - Work

2011-02-28T13:13:00.000-08:00

2.26.2011 - Baby shower

2011-02-26T17:00:00.000-08:00

I had the honor of being showered this weekend by a group of wonderful women - it was a beautiful event, full of lots of laughter and wisdom (and AMAZING food - mmmmm) and all the love for myself and The Hub and our little guy just means so much to me - I am still in awe.
Here's my little shower dress:

2.23.2011 - Work

2011-02-24T10:08:00.000-08:00

And look - our rug is down now too!

2.23.2011 - Work

2011-02-23T12:32:00.000-08:00

2.22.2011 - Work

2011-02-22T09:08:00.000-08:00

2.21.2011 -Work

2011-02-21T13:12:00.000-08:00

Screw the awful exposure on this pic - check out what is behind me - my kid has a place to stay that is actually all cozy and could be considered ready for him! (But mama still wants to add some touches, so he has been instructed to please stay where he is and keep baking!)

2.19.2011 - Class

2011-02-19T16:03:00.000-08:00

Today was our "Prepared Childbirth" class.

The mirror is doing some traveling around the room as we try to get things settled in place - pardon the mess behind me. (At least it is progress, right?)

2.15.2011 - Work

2011-02-15T13:55:00.001-08:00

2.14.2011 - Work

2011-02-14T14:26:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day!

2.13.2011 - Let the baby showers begin!

2011-02-13T16:10:00.000-08:00

Here is a pic of my beautiful (tall, fabulous, etc) friend Steph and me at her Shower today - she is due 10 days before me. I have several friends all due right around the same time as me - spring is going to be full of baby goodness, and that means lots of fun showers with fabulous women coming up in the next month or so!
Isn't her dress pretty?
I am rocking one of the dresses my Sissy sent in the giant arsenal of maternity clothes she shipped to me last fall - BLESS HER - and a black cardie.

Got myself a little haircut last Friday as well - it ended up a little shorter than I was thinking, but it has really great shape and I am digging it.

2.9.2011 - Work

2011-02-09T13:33:00.000-08:00

Hmmm, little frump-eh...

I would be bummed that you can never see my shoes - but I am kind of rotating 3 or 4 pretty sensible and boring pairs - so maybe it is for the best. (These are black suade oxfords with a pretty thick inch-and-a-half heal.)

2.7.2011 - Work

2011-02-07T17:34:00.000-08:00

So it seems we will be featuring the work bathroom for a bit:

Because the situation in the should be nursery is now this:

Yep... awesome.

2.4.2011 - Work

2011-02-04T10:20:00.000-08:00

Hooray for Friday!

And of course my trusty Go Red For Women Day pin. Are you wearing red to raise awareness about womens' heart disease today?

2.3.2011 - Work

2011-02-03T08:40:00.000-08:00

Woops - didn't remember to check my camera.. oh well.

2.2.2011 Work

2011-02-02T13:00:00.000-08:00

Ugh, what an awful pic...
I think I need to check my camera settings - I must have bumped something and not noticed.

1.31.2011 - Work

2011-01-31T10:40:00.000-08:00

Look - we got some stuff out of the bedroom and the crib is set up (although I await the retrofit kit from PB Kids to change it from a drop side to a fixed side.)

1.29.2011 - Errands

2011-01-29T10:34:00.000-08:00

Look - New curtains are up on the french doors in the background! Buying them turned into quite an adventure. Did you know that a single, lonely little fly getting squashed in just the right place on a sensor in your car engine can make your entire car stop running - resulting in a ride in a AAA tow truck, and a day of being at the mercy of friends and the dealership courtesy shuttle?

Yeah, I didn't know that either. Now I do.

1.27.2011 - Work, Errands, Cringe

2011-01-27T10:37:00.001-08:00

I get to go shopping for new curtains for the French doors to the nursery (or whatever we can currently call that mess) over lunch today!
I admit to a tear or two this morning, when it took an extra amount of shoving and grunting to get my foot into my boot. :(
The Hub finally inquired as to what was wrong and I said "My bigger foot won't fit into my boot!" Prompting a HUGE discussion about how everyone has one foot slightly larger than the other, even if they don't (he doesn't) notice it.
I was victorious in the end, but it doesn't bode well for future mornings. :(

1.26.2011 - Work

2011-01-26T13:08:00.000-08:00

1-25-2011 - Work

2011-01-25T13:08:00.000-08:00

I should just change the blog name to "outfits in the pile of crap."

1.24.2011 - Work

2011-01-24T16:03:00.000-08:00

1.22.2011 - Shopping, Lunch

2011-01-22T15:00:00.000-08:00

Ahhh, shopping with The Hub. We went to look for new end tables (because, CLEARLY what we need is more furniture, as you can see from this picture. /sarcasm.) and he ended up picking out a whole new living room. Throw in a couple of burgers at the Cherry Cricket, and it was a very good day.

1.20.2011 - Doc's appointment, errands

2011-01-20T15:04:00.000-08:00

Had my 1 hour blood glucose test today - it probably means I am a total sugar fiend, but I thought the glucola drink was delicious!
The pile of baby furniture waiting for us to move the bed out so I can get the Cub's room ready is driving me crazy - but that is really a rant for another place. (I am just sorry that I have to see it in these pics every day. grrrr.)

11.18.2011 - Work, the Nursery "situation"

2011-01-18T13:23:00.000-08:00

Um, yeah... we have a little space situation in the Nursery. The room is having a bit of an identity crisis after unforeseen circumstances forced a delay in the removal of the bed, so please excuse the fact that I am standing in a pile of my unborn child's dismantled furniture.

1.14.2011 - Work

2011-01-14T11:00:00.000-08:00

Gray sweater, gray pants - kinda look like a big old rain cloud today.

1.13.2011 - Work, Fun Lunch

2011-01-13T15:12:00.000-08:00

I got to have a fabulous lunch with my friend (and very talented photog - something we know NOTHING about on this blog,) Ann Goldenberg to talk maternity photos!
Squeeee!
(Pardon the overly sensible shoes - mama's dawgs were barkin' all day today and comfort was needed!)

1.12.2011 -Work

2011-01-12T13:03:00.000-08:00

I am not sure why I ended up looking like a big dirt clod today.

Nice job, Keri. (Not so much.)

1.11.11 -Work

2011-01-11T12:35:00.000-08:00

It continues to be STUPID cold here.
But I hear that by the end of the week we will be in the 50s - hooray for Colorful Colorado!

1.10.11 -Work

2011-01-10T13:00:00.000-08:00

Woops - didn't have my pants pulled up enough... Maternity pants are awesome, but if you don't watch yourself you get the dreaded "saggy tush".

1.9.11 - Snowy day coffee

2011-01-09T09:21:00.000-08:00

Meeting the fabulous Bianca for coffee today - and baby it's COLD outside!

1.7.2011 -Work, Errands, Dinner

2011-01-07T13:49:00.000-08:00

Hooray for a husband who called to say he has reservations at my favorite restaurant in our 'hood!
Happy Friday to me!

My super-dark wash Loved by Heidi Klum skinny preggo jeans kinda blend in with my black T and flats, eh? This outfit = NOT photo ready!

1.6.2011 - Work

2011-01-06T12:48:00.000-08:00

And I have on my pin-stripe-y pants again:

1.5.11 -Work

1.4.11 - Work

1.3.11 - Work

2011-01-03T12:37:00.000-08:00

Back to work - office is still VERY quiet though.

12.29.2010 - Early New Year's dinner with The Hub

2010-12-30T12:23:00.000-08:00

I'm in my jammies enjoying the snow (from inside) today, but we headed out to Mizuna for a nice dinner last night - a few days before NYE, avoiding the crowds, the snow and cold that was forcast to hit the area starting today, and the restrictions of set menus that so many nicer restaurants seem to favor for NYE.

Shiny top

And swingy, blingy earrings

12.29.2010 - doc's appointment, errands

2010-12-29T12:48:00.000-08:00

12.23.2010 - Work

2010-12-23T14:08:00.000-08:00

It's Festivus and being at work has me wanting to participate in the "Airing of the Grievances"!

The Hub calls these my "elf tights" because they are green, so we will say this outfit is festive because of that, m'kay?

12.22.2010 - Work

2010-12-22T09:09:00.000-08:00

Boom Baby! Bumptastic! As Cartman would say "I'm real-eh fillin' out nice-leh!"

12.20.2010 -Work

2010-12-20T14:40:00.000-08:00

12.17.2010 - Work

Half day today - Woo hoo!

And my swingy ear rings...

12.16.2010 - Work

2010-12-16T14:18:00.000-08:00

I love bootie (heh heh heh)

12.14.2010 -Work

My Liz Lange Maternity for Target Pants (thank you Sissy) have a kicky little pin stripe:

12.13.2010 - Work

2010-12-13T11:42:00.001-08:00

12.10.2010 -Work, sleepless

2010-12-10T09:29:00.000-08:00

There is no two ways about it - I am slobbing it today. Honestly, right as I was nodding off on the sofa and about to get up and go to bed, I saw this story on the news. It broke my heart - I could not make myself stop thinking about it, no matter what I tried. It was a long night of praying, teary cuddling with the dog, and staring blankly at the the Disney Channel.
I guess it shows in how I look today. I wish I was home with my family anyway.

12.9.2010 -Work

2010-12-09T14:01:00.000-08:00

Hmmm - this is not cute now that I see it here. And my cords are starting to rub together and make noise when I walk. Oh dear.
(Pardon the mess - the bag actually has more maternity clothes from Sissy that I need to go through, and the shelf in the background comes into the guest room every Christmas to make room for the tree- but just look at the cutie doggie!)

12.7.2010 - Work

2010-12-07T14:10:00.001-08:00

12.6.2010 - Work

2010-12-06T14:09:00.000-08:00

Boot-ehs...

12.3.2010 - Work

2010-12-03T14:18:00.000-08:00

It has been a long week... TGIF for sure!

11.30.2010

2010-11-30T21:23:00.000-08:00

11.29.2010 - Work

2010-11-29T14:48:00.000-08:00

Well - that 4 day weekend just FLEW by. :(
Here I am, back to work.

11.24.2010 - Work

2010-11-24T09:21:00.000-08:00

The day before a holiday around a University = No one around.
Hopeful that I can make it a short day and get out of here, slept awful again last night. :(

11.22.2010 - Work

2010-11-24T09:18:00.000-08:00

Oh look, here we are in the work loo again. I haven't been sleeping well, which has resulted in me running out the door, late and slightly dumpy looking for the past several days...

11.19.2010 - Work

2010-11-19T09:14:00.000-08:00

11.18.2010 - Work

2010-11-18T14:23:00.000-08:00

It's a little warmer today, so I broke out the beloved basket weave shoes!

11.17.2010 - Work

2010-11-17T11:13:00.000-08:00

And my cutie booties:

11.16.2010 -Work

2010-11-16T13:32:00.000-08:00

11.15.2010 - Work, Tired.

2010-11-15T13:39:00.000-08:00

I am so tired and SO cold today....

11.13.2010 - Shopping, Dinner

2010-11-13T13:00:00.000-08:00

Off to the Outlet stores to check out a Motherhood outlet today, and then dinner at some friends' place later on.
Hint to The Hub - when your wife walks out wearing a sweater that she thinks is cute AND that still fits her well, do NOT bust out laughing and shout "Top o the mornin' to ya, Lassie!"
It's green, I get it... but I still like the sweater.

11.12.2010 - Work, Ultrasound Appointment

2010-11-12T14:13:00.000-08:00

Yep... had "the big" u/s today. Things look good. I do indeed know if my little jr snappy dresser will be rocking pink or blue, but I will wait to share until we can tell The Hub's family this weekend. :)

ETA: IT'S A BOY!!!

11-11-2010 - Mirror in the bathroom, please don't speak

2010-11-11T14:00:00.000-08:00

Ran out the door really early today to go on another day care tour (LOVED IT!!!) and didn't get a pic.
So today you get the lovely loo at the office in the background of my extra cozy sweater and cords combo (snowy and cold finally - but the bump is all cozy and warm.)

And in spite of them being a few years old, I still totally PPH my Xhiliration Suede Platform Wedges. Height+Comfort = Perfection.

Ooooo - Fun Twitter event tonight!

2010-11-10T10:35:00.000-08:00

If you have pressing questions about Pregnancy Fashion, then join Liz Lange and her sponsors this evening for a twitter party! Check out Graco's website for details and get ready to follow the #LizLangeStyle and #MyFirstBaby hash tags along with me (@todds_wife) for tips and answers tonight!

11.10.2010 -Work

2010-11-10T10:00:00.000-08:00

Oh, and shoes - just because I am SO reloving these from the back of my closet right now:

Just the right amount of heal. :)

11.9.2010 Work

2010-11-09T11:51:00.000-08:00

11.8.2010 -Work

2010-11-08T13:51:00.000-08:00

Earrings are my thing this year... I wear my hair back a lot, and swingy earrings make me feel like I still look "girly"

11.5.2010 - Work

2010-11-08T13:40:00.000-08:00

11.4.2010- Work

2010-11-04T16:26:00.000-07:00

These pants actually have cutie pinstripes, which I love - but I am discovering that I like the "full panel" maternity pants vs. the low "demi panel," which is what these have.

11.3.2010 - My cute coat

2010-11-03T09:01:00.000-07:00

So I am just bumming around the house today - no OOTD pic.
BUT - my cutie maternity coat (thank you Old Navy coat sale last week,) arrived yesterday, so let's all admire that instead:

Lots of room to fill it out by the end of the winter!

11.2.2010 -Work

2010-11-02T15:56:00.000-07:00

Not super cute, but I jazzed it up a little with an heirloom necklace and one of my favorite pairs of earrings.

11.1.2010 - Work, Day Care visit

2010-11-01T13:32:00.000-07:00

Hmmm not sure if I like the green tights or not.
Going to visit a day care that I have really high hopes for this afternoon!

10.29.10 - Work, worn out

2010-10-29T09:20:00.000-07:00

I have no excuse - this is really blah. I am just pooped today, and so ready for the weekend!

10.28.2010 - Work

2010-10-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

Awww - I love it when Potter-pie sneaks his fuzzy little self into the shot - it makes up for my bad camera skills.

10.27.2010 - Doc's office, work

2010-10-27T13:32:00.000-07:00

Doc's office says I am not gaining weight quite as fast as I should - BRING ON THE CHEESE!!!

I give you - ...and I wore this WHILE PREGNANT!

2010-10-26T13:49:00.000-07:00

That's right - I'm back! In honor of the bun currently in the oven, I wanted to bring back "...and I wore this" to celebrate all the fun that is maternity fashion!

YAY!!
Let's play catch up:

Keri at 14 weeks:

Keri at 15 weeks:

And me today - one day shy of 16 weeks (see - there is a little bump under those flowy tops)

And BTW - I will be taking care of those icky grown out bangs ASAP - not cute!

Been doing a bit of shopping and was also gifted a GIANT box of Dr. Sissy's maternity wear - it is good to have a twin!
Can't wait to share all the fun here. :)

New Year's Eve 2009

2010-01-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

I am so into this kind of bright blue color right now... wish the light showed it better..

Oh well - Happy New Year, all.

Which brings me to my little announcement: I am taking a break from "...and I wore this" - thanks to those who have looked, commented, and enjoyed.

12.23.09 - Work.. sort of...

2009-12-23T10:15:00.001-08:00

I am at work - but it is so dead that I don't think I can call it work...

Ugh - so tired of the winter light and crowded room!! Here are my boots:

2009-12-22T08:46:00.000-08:00

I am over even commenting on the state of the room.. grrr. All of the furniture is on CL today - cross your fingers...

12.21.09 -Work, irritation...

2009-12-21T11:24:00.001-08:00

Ah look, here I am in the crap pile that was once my very own little room.. grrr....
You can't tell, but I am wearing these shoes.

12.18.09 - Work, Play, etc..

2009-12-18T10:59:00.001-08:00

I honestly just put this up so you can see how bad my room is! :( Now I have like a whole extra bed set crammed in there. Impossible to take good pics of my outfit. (eggplant long cardi, skinny jeans, brown boots, crusty look.)

Grrrr....

At least we get the afternoon off today for holiday merriement.

12.17.09 - Work, Mess...

2009-12-17T13:54:00.001-08:00

Sigh... I lost my dressing room again... this time to our Master Bedroom Set which is going to be put on Craigslist soon since our new one arrived today (I think)... here is the mirror that matches our old set - as you can see, it (along with all the other pieces of the set) is now crammed into the guest room, jacking up my "getting ready" area.
Booo.
Also, I loved this skirt all freaking summer long.. now - not so much. Go figure.

Um, that is actually me - not (as it looks like) Suzanne Sommers' fat, nerdy, can't-QUITE -pull-it-all-together sister from Three's Company.
WTF? I have a Happy Hour tonight that I just DO NOT see myself wearing this for.. What up, dumpy!?

Does my hair look stupid? My bangs are growing out and sometimes it is annoying to have them flapping against my face and poking me in the eyes.

Also, can I do a product rave that will get me widely laughed at (and possibly ridiculed since so many folks think that shopping there HAS TO BE a belief statement or whatever).

Anyway, these jeans? They are Baby Phat for Walmart.. Serious. And I don't care what ANYONE says about it, these are the most flattering, well-fitting jeans I have possibly ever had on my body. I have NEVER felt better about myself in jeans, and that includes the summer I had the mysterious bacteria and couldn't eat anything and was a size double zero! NEVER. I am going back to horde more. I am in love with them.

Don't judge me - these jeans are freaking awesome.
