Around the time I found out I was pregnant at about 5 weeks, I began to really feel the first trimester symptoms hit me.  By week 6, they were full on.  All day nausea and extreme fatigue, and my goals instantly shifted from what is on my to do list today to what can I eat and how can I keep myself from throwing up.  It was literally a morning to night challenge and all I could focus on for a while.  Luckily that transitioned into I'm just so tired, but it still completely put my life otherwise on hold, for several weeks.  Now that I'm starting to get back to normal, I'm going through all the things that just lingered on my to do list, and other promises I had made before even knowing I was pregnant, that I never even got to.  It's pretty damn overwhelming to say the least, and my email inbox has over 4,000 unread emails in it, luckily alot of junk mail, but tons of unanswered real emails, from real people, that I feel bad Ive left hanging.  So slowly I am going to weed through these tasks until hopefully one day I'll get caught up so my mind can rest easy through the rest of this pregnancy.  So, if you are waiting for a response from me, whether in email, IG, fb, etc... please be super patient with me.  It's a huge chunk to chew on after being out of it for so many weeks. 

So, here is an outfit post I shot about 2 months ago, before I chopped all my hair off!  It was getting so long, and even though I regretted it the first few weeks, I'm now so happy I did.  It's so much healthier and so much easier to deal with right now that I'm not washing it nearly as much as I did before.  It's been a nice change, refreshing.

This top from dir69 is insane!  The handsewn details of the cowrie shells on the sleeves, what?  It's just a very unique piece, unlike anything else in my closet.  And yes, I know my pants are wrinkled as hell, I just didn't care.  These free people pants are some of my favs.  I have them in two different patterns.  I found these on ebay for about 1/4 of the original price.  That's how I roll with FP. 

Even though fall is my favorite season, I'm really ready for spring this year since I'm pregnant.  I'm ready to spend my days outdoors, soaking up the earth and sunshine, gardening, walking, etc.  I cannot wait.  I feel like I'm waking up from my own hibernation, and now we are going into winter.  Ive been feeling really house bound lately.  But this season shall pass, and I will work on enjoying it as much as I can while its here...

WERE HAVING A BABY!!!

So, after my last blog post I kind of left you hanging.  I shared the exciting news on my instagram and fb, and by that time in the day I was so exhausted I couldn't even think about getting on here to blog.  Then I kind of forgot I didn't share on here over the last week.  Geez.  Anyway, James and I are expecting a little baby!  I can still hardly believe it.

I'm starting to get my energy back, so fingers crossed I'll check in here more with updates.  Just this past week I have felt alot of shifts happen, with my energy levels, and with food.  Although I'm still very tired, I feel like I can actually function now.  And finally many foods are sounding much better than they did a week or so ago.  I really struggled for a bit with anything food related.  I was very lucky though to only have really bad nausea for a week and 1/2 and that's it!  It's mostly been extreme fatigue that has got me, and food aversions. 

It was exciting to spend my first holiday yesterday surrounded by family who is so excited about this little baby.  Although I was pretty tired and felt like I just ate and laid on the couch, ha ha.  It was definitely a different Thanksgiving experience this year.  My Nanna is so excited she can hardly stand it.  I'm just as excited for her!

I'M GONNA BE A MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A TIME TO BE GENTLE ON MYSELF

I'm finally finding the energy and time to share a little update over in this corner of my world.  My poor little blog has been so neglected, as well as the bohemian collective.  *sigh* But life has had some other priorities lately, that I will share with you tomorrow!  It will 100% be the biggest announcement I have ever made!  Alot is changing over here in our world. 

I even forgot to post over here that the magazine was released, that is how out of it I have been.  Hopefully most of you saw through the instagram or fb posts.  But in case you missed it, read about how to grab a copy here.

As you can see in the pic above,  I chopped several inches off my hair!  I was a little sad the first few days after, but it definitely does feel fresh and light.  Like a new start.  Appropriate for this season in my life. 

I am feeling so utterly behind on all of my commitments, posts I need to share, emails I need to answer, etc.  The list goes on, and it terrifies me.  If you are waiting on a response from me, please know I will get to it, everything is just taking me a very long time right now.  Hopefully I won't be MIA for too much longer, just adjusting to a huge new shift... And it most definitely is a time to be gentle myself, no matter what.  After receiving some negative feedback from an unsatisfied contributor to my magazine the other day, I realized just how fragile I am in this moment.  I feel vulnerable, like I am cracking open in very new ways... it's exciting, scary, heart bursting, soft and uncomfortable, all at once.  Life has presented itself to me in the most incredible way.  I feel like I have been handed a most precious key, to life, to myself, and to the future.  And now it's up to me to protect it.
