Baby fever AND spring fever!

I always have some sort of variation of spring fever by this time in January.  I am ok with it being cold outside during December and know that it will be cold for months later but usually I develop spring fever sometime mid January.  Once it hits March, I put away the brown shoes and boots and get out my flats and tennis shoes.  This year, because a baby is coming in July, I have spring fever and baby fever at the same time.  It's not good.  There has been snow, cold temps, and no sign of spring anywhere!  I like to think about planting my garden in the next few months and usually grab a potted flower from the store to help me think about spring coming.  My plan is to enjoy the next few months though since I am in my second trimester and usually this is when I feel the best during my pregnancy.

Even though spring is not coming very soon, I am planning to do some small changes around the house.  My living room will get a small makeover of new throw pillows, blankets, and I am going to try and find another area rug.  Focusing on something small will redirect things in my head.  Ha!  Another thing I am doing is adding some new items in my Little Addition shop.  I am going to try out some new baby things that were not around when I had Charlie (only 4 years ago.) Man how quickly baby things change!!!!

I was going to show you a quick view of my living room.  It is a disaster of toys so the photo will wait. I hope to post an after shot soon as I find some new items.  My obsession with Fixer Upper has lead me to more neutrals than before and so I am in search of them! I 💛 TJMaxx but have yet to see the right things...soon, I just know it. Until then, here are my Valentines roses.  They make me smile.
