Husband got me a gold heart locket that has the baby's initials, which are also his initials, engraved on it. I think it's the cutest thing ever. I'm gonna put their hair in it lol.

An image a day for December 2025 no. 26. I shared the so-called Christmas rose yesterday, but here's an actual rose at Christmas! If you’re cutting a rose, be careful no petals fall from the flower, otherwise, you’ll have bad luck.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate🤍

They're a tradition at this point.

Dinner Dress The Met 1824-26

❄️Art by Margaret Tarrant

I'm starting to get quite uncomfortable. Feels like I'm getting stabbed in the ribs 24/7.

Why the F did I allow them to schedule me for a midwife appointment on Christmas eve?

Ornament from my second Christmas on my parents' tree.

According to a Flemish folktale, a woman rumoured to be a witch only left her house during the winter months. She once gave her neighbours enchanted apples that danced during the night. Instead of rejoicing at the sight, they were scared out of their wits. 🎨Florence Harrison

Making my Mémère's pot roast recipe for a nice Yule dinner.

Happy Winter Solstice🤍

Well after I posted that picture last night an account who posts nothing but anime pregnancy p$rn starting following me and my picture has one save🤢. That’s so disgusting. I don’t want to delete the pic because it’s special but really wtf is wrong with people. I’m so upset, idk. That’s violating.

Bumpin around the Christmas tree🎶

Sent him out to get emergency buffalo wings.

Snuggling before bed last night Me- “babe are you sleeping?” Him-“Mmmm sounds delicious”

I love a finishing touch on gifts. The tags are very DIY, but I think they're cute.

My dad has been calling me Momma recently and I think it's very sweet🤍

Friends who work there, friends who went there, my midwives are there... If you don't think our country is uniquely fucked, you are part of the problem.

Did your garden bear many berries in preparation of winter? Folk tradition suggests this is nature's attempt to take care of winter birds and animals: it suggests a long winter is on the way. #FolkloreSunday

Snow day. Not leaving the couch.

I better be able to breastfeed because I bought a can of formula just in case, and it was $40...

These iron pills immediately hurt my stomach.

Whilst he was particularly well known for his branded sportswear, Jean Patou also created some glamorous evening wear which, in this case, makes for a perfect festive frock. Some #1930s evergreen in cosy velvet #kunstgewerbemuseumberlin #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Welp I think I’m officially at that point in pregnancy where it’s nearly impossible to sleep. Pillows jammed behind my back and under by belly and I’m still in so much pain😫

#Fairytaletuesday 'Sheep in Winter' by John Anster Fitzgerald (1819-1906) who earned the nickname 'Fairy Fitzgerald' due to his obsessive fantastical paintings of the 'Little People' & other creatures of the enchanted realm.

Butternut squash bisque and chocolate chip cookies tonight. It's so cold. I must make a cozy dinner.

I think I passed!

He's making filets, I'm making risotto🤍

Parents got me a gift card to my favorite spa. Getting a massage immediately.

Treating today like my Rumspringa in case I fail the glucose test on Monday. Probably not the smartest decision but baby needs pasta.

My fuse is shorter than ever, and everyone/ everything is annoying me.

68. Wrath of the Damned Deadly Divine #2 By Ella Fields Much better than the first book. Good not great.

Today vs. Yesterday

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

My sister is such a fucking mess dude. I feel bad but I literally can’t deal with it anymore. The smallest interaction leaves me feeling so sad and frustrated. There’s nothing I can do to help her and it’s just not healthy for me to deal with right now.

3 Dec: On winter nights the fairy queen and her elves polish holly leaves to make them shine. The prickly leaves wound their tiny hands as they work, but they have no care, for every drop of fairy blood turns into a bright red berry, adorning the holly for the #Christmas season!

Mistletoe, Edith Holden.
