Our Home with Hounds

Faves on Friday

by 8 Comments

Linking with Andrea, Erika, & Narci as always to share my Friday Favorites along with a couple bumpdates below!
Project 52, Week 44
On Wednesday I shared some inspiration for your Thanksgiving/Fall decor from some of my family members’ homes.

We received our family picture gallery and I’ve already got some ordered on their way to me! I am so very much looking forward to our maternity pictures scheduled for December too, I shared a few other pictures here on Monday & a sneak peek here as well.
Last weekend my husband was out for a bit so it was just myself & the beags at home, they were mostly pouting about him being gone but hey it got me extra lovin so I’ll take it 😉
How far along: 27 Weeks
Size of baby: Cauliflower
Gender: BOY
Weight Gain: —
Maternity Clothes: While I have fully embraced maternity jeans I still mostly wear all my regular tops since I never wore anything too slim fit it all is still working for me for now.
Nursery: We started putting together some of the shelving we purchased last week
Movement: He is still gentle with me & the movements haven’t been painful yet but he definitely is moving more throughout the day, reminding me he is in there 😉
Symptoms: Realizing some of my limits, this week at work I was standing for 2 hours and I later paid for it as my back ached so much!
Cravings: I’ve had a bit of a sweet tooth recently but that might just be because of the availability of Halloween candy lol
What I miss: I really want a couple eggs over easy, I try not to think about it but we made some chilaquiles this weekend & a runny egg just would have been perfect.
Best moment this week: Doing some shopping with Ronald, browsing for the nursery & getting items we need to complete a few DIYs
Looking forward to: My next OB appointment
How far along: 28 Weeks HELLO THIRD TRIMESTER!

Size of baby: Eggplant
Gender: Boy
Weight Gain: At my OB appointment this week I was up 5.3 lbs from last month, making that a total of 9.7 lbs for my pregnancy! I was ecstatic to have finally gained almost 10lbs heading into my third trimester, while my midwives were not concerned it was starting to become a little something that was worrying me.
Maternity Clothes: Really wearing more of my dresses & skirts as those still work with the bump while I notice some of my regular shirts or sweatshirts are getting shorter & shorter. Thankfully several of my sweaters will still work a bit longer too but I might need to add a few more maternity tops to my rotation.
Nursery: Currently filled with the supplies & decor for our shower! Ron has almost completed our dresser DIY though, yay!
Movement: Feeling some hiccups from Baby M 😉
Symptoms: Seemingly overnight my urge to pee skyrocketed, ugh. I was pretty much filling up my mug at work with water every hour & also using the bathroom at that time, now I can’t quite make it the hour between bathroom trips even though my water intake has remained the same.
Cravings: I’m just not a cravings person, but I will admit to using babe as an excuse or to justify eating something I want, hehe 😉
What I miss: Being able to eat deli meat/cold cut sandwiches and not worry about it. I don’t eat them a lot but being denied the option to eat them makes it difficult when they’re a free lunch offered at work.
Best moment this week: Washing & organizing all the tiny little baby clothes we have so far.
Looking forward to: The baby shower this weekend!!! It’s finally here!

    Happy Friday Rechelle and family! It’s been a long week over here (mainly due to work). Love your baby bump updates… you’re doing great (except for the frequent bathroom visits). Have a great time at your shower. Enjoy the weekend…
