Happy Friday, we’re headed out for Kansas City today for a long weekend! Sharing my favorites with Andrea, Erika, and Narci as always 🙂
Wishing my MIL a Happy Birthday!!! I’ve been so blessed to have such fabulous in-laws and I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world, even if I might consider trading my husband sometimes, JUST KIDDING! Karen is an incredible Mom and even though the distance between us (AZ to MI) is more than I think any of us would like she always has a way of making it feel like we’re much closer <3
A few Instagram gems this week 😉
1. I am so very thankful to be feeling well so far through this pregnancy.
2. I am thankful to have friends & family that are so excited for us and our baby, the support & gifts already have been heartwarming.
3. I am thankful for family that watches our dogs while we vacation.
4. OH and thankful for family that paints the nursery also while we’re on vacation 😉
5. I’m thankful for morning skies that look like this!
And a couple more bumpdates Weeks 17 & 18 below, see 15 & 16 here.
How far along: 17 Weeks, Due January 29th
Size of Baby M: Pomegranate (or game console controller lol)
Gender: Not quite ready to share yet 😉
Weight Gain: not sure since I am not weighing myself
Maternity Clothes: I’ve started looking at more but haven’t purchased yet!
Nursery: We’ve narrowed our ideas and have a pretty good plan going forward
Movement: Not quite yet
Symptoms: Just general & occasional discomfort or runny nose or headache but nothing in particular
Cravings: Not really a craving, but milk seems to taste particularly good!
What I miss: sleeping on my back :\ if I do end up on my back during the night it’ll wake me up because I notice my left hand starting to feel numb – which is my body telling me to roll over!
Best moment this week: Celebrating my Dad turning 50!
How far along: 18 Weeks, Due January 29th
Size of baby: Artichoke
Gender: We’ll share soon I promise!
Weight Gain: I’m sure a couple pounds but I can’t say for certain
Maternity Clothes: Getting closer to biting the bullet and making a purchase but still haven’t just yet 😉
Nursery: We cleared out the room for the nursery & cleaned it up, now for paint!
Movement: Not just yet but keeping on my toes waiting!
Symptoms: Just happy to have my appetite & motivation back! My appetite was much smaller for a while there and now I’m feeling like I can eat regular again.
Cravings: None really. I try hard and do a pretty good job of sticking to a balanced diet.
What I miss: Being able to freely have a drink, I have a couple cans of wine in my fridge that I need to give away so that I’m not reminded lol
Best moment this week: Shopping to get an idea on some of the bigger ticket items for Baby M!
(and this progression of photos with Hank is just too good not to share)
Aww thank you Rechelle! You make it easy for me. Have a great trip. I’m sure your dog sitter/nursery room painter will be glad
to takee care of those cans of wine for you. 😉. Love you!
