The Charming Roundup: V18

It’s the day after baby’s due date. Have I delivered yet?!

Please say it’s so! If not, I’m no doubt over here doing lunges and practicing all of the old wives tales on naturally inducing labor! As of Tuesday (when I’m writing this) I’ve tried everything from eating whole pineapples to doing labor inducing work outs. You guys have sent along so many fun + funny suggestions on Instagram (“Curb walking” was one!) – thanks for rooting for baby and I over here! Crossing my fingers one of them worked by now. (If you’re not already, be sure to follow along on Instagram for in-the-now updates!)

Baby is pretty much consuming my brain at this point, so not many updates over here, other than this weather has been MAGICAL. 60 degrees the other day and I feel like I’m in a Disney movie, singing on walks and hop-dancing around while at it because of it. Keep on coming, Spring! (The official start is next week, can you believe it?!)

Ready for some link love? Let’s do it!

Finds I loved this week: This Saltwater Maxi Dress is effortlessly laid back (Order a size down!) + Drawstring Waist Pants for transition days + A gorgeous, form-fitting dress that’s a great price (One that I most certainly will NOT be wearing after baby, but you totally should – ha!) + This textured t-shirt looks so comfortable and flattering + Oh WOW these shorts are awesome + Cork & vinyl sandals that would go with anything.
