Hello!

Hello, friends!

And hello bump.

I hate that I've been away from City Lights for so long.

I can't think of a time since I started this little blog that I've neglected it for so long.

I think I've been lacking motivation or inspiration-- you know, those things that come in waves sometimes.

Also, my work schedule has been a force to be reckoned with.

And. 

At night I've been curating an online baby registry and for sure spending way too much time on it but it's fun slash overwhelming.

These photos are all from the sixth month of pregnancy.

On my commute home tonight I was thinking about how being pregnant is one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given.

And strangely, it feels incredibly normal.

Perhaps natural is a better word than normal, but still, I'm surprised by it.  I thought it would feel much more foreign and strange.

I'm sure it's only the first of many surprises in this journey of brand new motherhood.

More from City Lights to come.

Thanks for being here!
