week 28

hello to 28 weeks,

third trimester.

is that crazy OR WHAT?!

to be honest, pregnancy is the strangest.

one day, you feel like the time has flow by + the next you're forgetting 

what it was like to put on socks and not have a conniption.

today feels like time is flying by. 

i've got 2 months, 21 days, 1 hour + 18 minutes until

March 3rd.

the due date.

i'm pretty bummed to be out of second trimester,
i loved it,

but i'm welcoming the coming of our son.

cheese, but seriously.

it will make third trimester worth it.

here is to 11 more weeks.

AH

how far along are you? 28 weeks exactly, according to my apps, but i have been measuring a week + a half ahead so we will see!

maternity clothes? big, phat, fabulous yes. minus some shirts.

sleep: what's that?
okay--but in all reality, why do people give the advice to sleep to first time moms? sleep is not pleasant, nor restful. i wake up multiple times every night + kill it at candy crush.
so maybe there is some benefit to the lack there of.

best moments: i found our changing table/dresser for the nursery! i'm so pumped + can't wait to show you the finished product!

missing anything? what i'm missing is petty + it was something i promised i'd never complain about--but in the hopes of remembering, i miss my smooth, non-stretchmarked skin. me, myself + i cried some big tears over that discovery. then i wiped them off + watched our babes movement under that imperfect skin + cried again.
hormones.

movement? oh yes. but i did have a little scare today. nothing that soda doesn't help fix.

food cravings: pomegranates + red icees.

queasy or sick? no, not really!

gender: boy with a name!!!!!

symtoms: tiredness during the day + restlessness during the night.

belly in or belly out? so out, it's not even funny. i'm about to tape this sucker down.

happy or moody? this last week has been pretty emotional. i've cried a lot, but please, that's nothing new for me ;)

looking forward to: CHRISTMAS

ps my talented friend, chantel, gave me a romper for christmas from her shop.

this cute thing isn't even in the closet, it's out for me to touch + hug everyday on my nightstand.

i can't wait to dress him in this ADORABLE outfit.

check out doodle + dee here

the clothes are all to die for + will make PERFECT gifts for anyone...

i mean who wouldn't want this in their home?!

week 28

week 22

i admit it.

i've taken a couple of belly pictures.

like a couple of a lot.

it's just i've never seen my body like this + you know what?

i'm dang proud of it.

i'm proud of the growth, movement, aches + pains.

i'm loving the bigness of it, the beauty of it

+ i've honestly never felt more confident in my own skin.

i've already gained more weight than i care to share, but man,

this is a beautiful thing.

happy 22 weeks to my corn on the cob, water bottle, + american guinea pig.

we sure are doing great together.

how far along are you? 22 weeks on the dot

maternity clothes? can i just always leave this at a yes? there is no going back now. i did get some jeggings at gap though, maternity + i may or may not have worn them everyday. amazing.

sleep: a lot better since my friend nicole lent me her pregnancy pillow. amazing i tell you.

best moments: seeing my belly start to move. 

missing anything? no heartburn.

movement? yes. this little guy is doing his thing inside there. it's honestly the best?

food cravings: funny story. so i craved fries this last week. jay was in the middle of something so i got into the car at like 11:50 to go to burger king because i was wanting curly fries. i get there + all the lights are out + they are obviously closed. i started BAWLING. so hard. i walk in, tears everywhere, slam the door + waddle myself upstairs. i heard jay get on the bed + he asks me what's wrong?! i'm not getting curly friessssss jay! i'm crazy. luckily jay saved the night + grabbed me some fries from good old mcd's + that was my official middle of the night craving story!

queasy or sick? super bad heartburn. i have officially cut out sugar. this babe + sugar does not do well + though i've had very little, this last week i had some candy + really paid for it.

gender: boyyyyyyyy

symtoms: nothing much besides heartburn + kicks!

belly in or belly out? top half out, bottom half in. too funny

happy or moody? this last week has been trying, for all of us. like monday night? ohhhh monday night. even sheila stayed out of my way, but i'm getting better!

looking forward to: halloween night! even though we are doing absolutely nothing. go us.
