It's October!

Happy First Day of October to ya! September seemed to fly by for us. I'm looking forward to some cooler days, but I have no false hopes that will happen anytime soon. Last October looked a lot like this:

I was in shorts and holding a sweet two month old! This year, I'm holding an even tinier baby in my womb and I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that we'll soon be a family of four.

J snapped this photo the other day when I was 30 Weeks pregnant, exactly. My, oh my, what a difference one year makes. It's so strange to be in the same town and SAME HOUSE for a whole year. We've never had this luxury and to be honest? I think we're getting restless! It's time to move.

Lots of fun things happened this past weekend. First and foremost, I must introduce you to my new baby:

She hasn't been named yet. This one obviously isn't mine, but it looks very similar. Mine has running boards because I'm so short and is my very favorite color for a car: charcoal gray/ navy(ish)? Whatever. All I know is she is lovely.

You may be wondering- What happened to "No Spendtember"? Well, we got paid early- that's what happened. Of course that meant the month was over, right? We wrote out that check and didn't turn back mostly because this is what we were saving for. My little Beamer was not going to work well with our expanding family. Captain J's legs are so long, it's difficult for him to fit in the front seats when there are car seats in the back. I feel a little more prepared for Baby A to make his appearance.

Being pregnant again so soon has prevented me from forgetting just how dreadfully uncomfortable the 3rd trimester is. When I discovered I was expecting again, one of my first thoughts was, "Oh, man- how am I going to waddle around and chase K Baby?" That has been interesting trying to figure out. I'm in that stage where I get out of breath easily. Everything on my body is swollen and achy. I even had to take off my wedding ring already.

Selling Scentsy is going well. It gives us a little extra money in our pockets and I love feeling like I'm contributing to our household financially, even if it's just in a small way. Plus it's fun to get emails like this one:

I'm happy when the customer likes a delicious smelling home as much as I do! I've got my eye on this little Halloween Plug-In:

Many of the holiday warmers have already been snatched up! I'll probably place an order later this week so let me know if there's anything I can order for you.

My holiday (read: Spooky Halloween!!) decorations are coming together quite nicely. I've had fun creating festive decor and I'll be sure to post tutorials soon for my newest creations. Now, if I could just start piecing together our Halloween costumes. It's a lot more difficult when you're in a town without a decent sized Goodwill. That's always my jumping off point to feel inspired, get ideas, and get started. I went the other day to look and left with 18 month old PJs and a newborn baby wrap. I guess I've got my kids on the brain!

For October, one of my goals is to clean out this house! We've collected so much junk over the past year and it's feeling like it's closing in around me. I'm ready to get rid of it! I dropped off a bag of clothes to Goodwill last week and I'm working on one to take this week, too. I die a little inside when I notice all the clothes are from Express, The Limited, and other semi-expensive stores but I just don't have the patience to try to sell them myself. I just want it gone! There's something about surrounding myself with stuff that makes me feel icky inside. Perhaps I should blame the show Hoarders.

Anyway, I think I've rambled enough. If you made it this far, thanks. I do hope you have a wonderful week. 

Love,
