Best non-maternity winter coat

Majority of everything I purchase is on sale. I happened to find this coat a couple years ago, in August, on a major clearance rack at Macy's. I snagged it for a mere $17, originally $250. Normally I wear a S/M. This coat happens to be an XL, but because of the belt, I have always been able to cinch it. I never had it in mind for a maternity coat, but now with my growing belly, it couldn't be more perfect.

If I didn't have this coat, I would have looked for a cape I could wear before and after pregnancy - like THIS.

OR...I would have found an oversized fur coat at a vintage store. ;)

A nasty shower leak spurred a bathroom remodel...which has been a blessing in disguise. Since moving into our mid century home over six years ago, the bathroom has always been a site for sore eyes. Alas, not being able to use the shower was the push we needed to do something. We're finally saying goodbye to our retro brown and mustard tile and hello to a fresh, new modern look.

Our concept is based on a neutral color palette to brighten up the space and create a spa like atmosphere. We're using natural materials including walnut, marble and slate to create a timeless elegance and textural, earth-centric feel. To give our bathroom a modern twist, we're choosing brass for the hardware elements and details to add a warm, rich tone and complement our mid century style.

Before + after photos to come!

Over Thanksgiving we finally told our family and friends that we are expecting!

How far along? 19 weeks

Maternity clothes? My goal is to buy mostly non-maternity clothing that I will ACTUALLY wear again.

Baby movement? Nothing yet, but I'm excited. :)

Food cravings? I cannot get enough pickle juice. Yes, I said pickle juice.

Gender? We're not finding out, but my guess is a girl. I really have no idea! Just praying for a healthy baby.
