  Squee this so exciting! hai guizz
  
  What is your first name? Christina
  
  When is your due date? I think they have it officially as 12/31, but my doctor through out 12/28 at my first appointment so i'm clinging to that because it sounds sooner.  Either way, I'll have a RCS likely the week of Christmas.
  
  What part of the world are you from (be as vague/ specific as you want)? Connecticut
  
  What number baby/pregnancy is this for you? 2
  
  What is your occupation or dream occupation? Writer. I have a blog that I update occasionally, but some day I would love to be published.
  
  Does your/will your nursery have a theme or color combination? Sort of...We still have lots of work to do in the room as we just moved in this house in April and it has some God-awful faux-wood paneling wallpaper up.  But this baby will share a room with DD1 and the colors in the room are / will be mainly peach and mint because I'm obsessed.
  
  Have you bought anything for baby yet? that's a resounding YES.  mainly clothes.
  
  If you have bought things, what is your favorite thing that you have gotten so far? Definitely their first sister-set.  They are these precious blue teapot dresses made by Boden.  I scored them for great prices on the BST boards on Facebook.  I am going to try and stay away from the mtachy-matchy thing, but I couldn't resist this set.
  
  What is your favorite part of pregnancy so far? oh, easy. nothing. J/K kind of.  I guess if I had to choose one thing, it would be my belly.  I like that I can get away with wearing snug tops that hug my belly.  I was overweight to begin with, so my wardrobe mainly consisted of loose-fitting things to cover up my muffin top, but right now I feel oddly attractive.
  
  Do you have a favorite maternity/baby brand? Gap
  
  One thing you will splurge on this pregnancy? probably some pampering closer to delivery... mani/pedi most likely.
  
  What are your top pregnancy related priorities? right now it's just not too gain too much weight.  I never fully lost it all after DD1 and I gained 40 with her.  This time I am trying to take it easy.  Plus, I have a wedding to be in in November and the last thing I want to pay for is to have panels added onto the dress. ugh
  
  What is your favorite book? Bible first...I'm a hot mess if I'm not spending time regularly reading. I get super impatient and bitter and insecure and sometimes downright selfish.  But when I really sit and process what it's saying, it totally puts me in check.  I've also always really loved the book White Oleander.
  
  What is your favorite tv show? Grey's Anatomy
  
  What is your favorite movie? Moulin Rouge
  
  What is your favorite band/singer? Dashboard Confessional (total fangirl here), Bon Iver, Taking Back Sunday
  
  Anything else you would like us to know? I am a lover of thrifting and all things vintage.  I have 8 tattoos. um.. I think that's all!

  Dashboard was definetly my soundtrack for a solid two years in high school. I'd totally forgotten about them though. Thanks for the reminder!

  Bawled my eyes out in the theater the first time I saw Mulan Rougue.  So so good! My favorite is the Roxanne tango!
