Happy What's Hap-"Pinning" Wednesday, friends! 

Reading ...

Just One Day by Gayle Forman--only a few pages in, but it had really good reviews on Goodreads, so I'm hoping this is a winner! Check out my post yesterday to find out the other books I've been reading.

Watching ...
The new season of The Bachelor but, you guys, I can almost not take it. There's like 1-2 girls that I don't mind on the show and the rest of them are super stupid. It was slightly painful watching on Monday. Plus, all of the redemption that Nick had from me towards the end of Kaitlyn's season and into BIP is kind of gone when he gave Corinne the rose on the group date after she took her top off, interrupted 3 girls for time to talk to him and was a general B. 

{via} Probably one of the 100 times she said "he held my boobs"

Another example of the stupidity: "You know how you like talk on one topic and stick to that topic?.....Yeah I find that really attractive"....oh...my....God...I can't.
I'll give it another week, but I'm not sure I can hang in for the whole season this time.

Eating....

lots of Mexican or Mexican-like flavors recently. I was always a fan of Mexican before getting pregnant, and now it's just a decent excuse to get in that fill even more haha. The taco twice baked sweet potatoes on Sunday were delicious (and nutritious), and we have Mexican Quinoa on the docket along with some chili from Chrissy Tiegen's book Cravings (even though that's not technically Mexican, I feel like I put the same toppings on that as I do Mexican so it's in the same realm haha)

Looking forward to ... 

having 2 couple friends over for a little informal dinner party on Friday night. It's been a bit since we had friends over for dinner, and the time for that will probably be nil once we have a kid, so we're looking forward to it. On the menu? My mediterranean pasta bake which is always a crowd pleaser.

Wishing...

that next week's  3 day work week with MLK day on Monday and having off for Inaguration (blech) on Friday gets here soon--these full work weeks are for the birds lol

Enjoying ...

all of my students' reactions when I've told them or had them figure out that I'm pregnant (I played Hangman with the message "Mrs. G is having a baby!" with the ones who can read). The reactions have been pretty entertaining from squealing in my 5th grade girls group to boys who looked shocked, and another group who accusingly asked me "How long have you been keeping this from us???" haha

Drinking...

lots of water still, and coffee on the weekends. Trying not to get baby girl addicted to caffeine so early on!

Loving....

that MG finally felt baby girl's movements and kicks the other night. Every time she was moving around, and I would tell him to feel, she would stop (tricky little thing!) They're stronger to me since I can feel them on the inside and the outside, but I was so glad he was finally able to feel her moving around.

Wanting ... 

the call with our potential newborn photographer to go well today. She was recommended to us by friends who used her for their newborn photos and oh my word, were they cute! Still, the cost of newborn photos is mind boggling (like a kick in the jimmies), but we'll see what we come up with!

Wearing ...
Layers and layers and layers the last 4+ days as the temps have either been below freezing or just barely above it. Somehow, though, temps are supposed to be in the mid 50s today and in the 60's tomorrow. Mother Nature is obviously having a bipolar moment.

Grateful For...

having at least 4 other friends who are pregnant and due around the same time, going through this together with. It's nice having people who relate to what I'm going through and experiencing (and freaking out about haha). 
Plus, having friends who have already been through it that I can turn to and ask all of my millions of questions is a HUGE help too!

Now it's your turn to link up with Jessi and I to share what's hap-"pinning" with you!
