Goodbye October, Hello November.

Welcome November

Goodbye, October. 

Goodbye to only drinking the pumpkin spice latte.

Goodbye, second-trimester. And to trying to convince myself that I should still be able to do everything I could do before I was pregnant.

Goodbye, pumpkin parties and fall dates (although I'm secretly hoping that November brings along some fall dates, too).

Goodbye to living apart from Christopher.

Goodbye to only calling our son "Little" and "Baby Jacobs."

Goodbye to a favorite month of mine. I look forward to seeing you next year, old friend. 

Hello, November. 

 Hello to adding the caramel apple spice into the hot drink mix.

Hello to my little family being reunited!

Hello, third-trimester. And to realizing I'm having a baby in about 2 months, so it's understandable if I can't run up 5 flights of stairs or carry all the groceries in by myself.

Hello to a month so full of thankfulness.

Hello to my baby shower!

Hello to celebrating Thanksgiving.

Hello to Black Friday shopping.

Hello to the only month in which I celebrate both fall and Christmas.

Hello to breaking out the Christmas decorations, the Christmas music and movies, the Starbucks red cups. After Thanksgiving, of course!

Hello to finally picking a name for our babe!

Hello to a month full of magic. 

 What are you saying hello and goodbye to this November?

    You have so much to look forward to in November! Having a baby is such an amazing and exciting time in life!

    I'm going to miss October, too! I feel like I didn't really get to enjoy any of my Halloween traditions this year :( but that's okay! Tomorrow is Halloween and my daughter's birthday! We're having a huge all day long party, Monster Mash lineup down the street for trick or treats followed by a grownup's party and I'm friggin nervous and excited! So, I'll be sad to say goodbye to another Halloween.
    However, I am looking forward to Christmas and all that it brings. I'm looking forward to working my butt off in November without awesome Halloween distractions!

    Good stuff going out and good stuff coming. What an exciting time, entering your last trimester! Take it easy on yourself, it's okay not to be able to do all the things!

    I can't believe it is the third trimester for you! I mean, I am not growing a baby so it may be slower for you ;)

    I just love these posts of yours. I love the caramel apple spice-it's pretty much an obsession. :) So exciting y'all are picking a name this month! Are y'all planning on sharing or waiting until he's born?

    Love this post! I'm finally saying goodbye to a year and a half of long distance with my boyfriend. I can't wait to finally be back in the same state! Though I love fall, so I'm sad to be saying goodbye to the *best* season.

    Yes, it's totally understandable if you can't run up five flights of stairs or carry all of the groceries in or anything else that you did before you were pregnant. :) I'd be the same way, I think.

    Two months!! I can't believe the baby is coming in two months!
