HOORAY for Friday! We’re headed to my parent’s home tonight because this weekend my Dad turns 50! Linking up with Andrea, Erika, & Narci first of course 😉

Project 52, Week 32

My hubby is home!!! He was getting homesick after being out west for a week and we surely missed him big here at home too! So glad to have him HOME <3

This week was ALL about the walks, trying to stay active with the beags! We (okay, probably mostly me) were so happy to have Ron back to join us on our Wednesday evening outing!

Garden Haul! Found a few hidden squash that grew BIG!

Made this new to me little appetizer one day since I knew I couldn’t wait to make dinner and its become a FAVE on repeat, just spinach & artichoke dip spread on some slices of bread and toasted

Instagram FAVES 🙂


I thought I’d start sharing some weekly bumpdates, honestly mostly for myself so I can keep them for reference 😉 On Wednesday I shared some thoughts on my first trimester

Gender: We found out last week but have only shared with very few so far
Weight Gain: none so far, I’ve mostly just fluctuated and actually lost weight the last couple appointments I’ve had
Maternity Clothes: none yet, just wearing looser fitting shirts that I’ve already had and using the hair tie trick on a couple of my tighter jeans
Nursery: Just got started on cleaning out a room this week, so far mostly browsing ideas
Movement: besides gas, none 😉
Symptoms: occasional discomfort, heartburn, mostly feeling great
Cravings: none
What I miss: not having to be concerned about what I’m eating or not eating
Best moment this week: sharing the gender with our families!
Looking forward to: oh so much still

Thank you Shannon! 🙂
Aww a baby bump! I’ve been waiting for that picture! What a good boy Hank was sitting there for pics. Love you!
We’ve been trying to remember to snap pictures! Hank has been funny standing in for pictures 😉 Love you too!
Happy Friday Rechelle- seemed like a long time coming. Happy Birthday to your dad! (ahem, he’s younger than I am). Glad that your hubby is home; I know you all missed him. And I love your pregnancy updates…look forward to watching Baby M grow within you and what you’re experiencing. Enjoy your weekend!
I agree Laurie, it felt like a long week! Thanks for always reading, hope you have a great weekend 🙂
I love the picture with your dog looking up at you. My mom took a picture like that with our dog the day before I was born!
Oh my gosh that is too sweet Dara! Hank has been funny participating in some of the photos and he normally dislikes getting his picture taken 😉
You look beautiful Rechelle!! Yeah! Happy Bday to your Dad too- have a great weekend!
