Easy breezy no more, 29 weeks!

It's like I don't even recognize myself anymore, weird. I have grown so much in the past two weeks it startles me! Ha! Upon entering the third trimester it's like a switch flipped...I all of a sudden feel very pregnant. I was blessed with an extremely easy pregnancy up until this point...hopefully it stays that way and won't get too bad. But, I can definitely feel that I am entering the uncomfortable stage of this thing....bye bye to the easy breezy part of being pregnant. Only 11 weeks to go! EEEEEKKKK!!!!!!!!! *and no worries, I am getting BLONDE again tomorrow, for the love...ugh. I am so dark here, yuck!*

How far along? 29 weeks

Size of the baby? 2.5 pounds and almost 16 inches long.

Maternity Clothes? Same as last week.

Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week.

Movement? Same. They are definitely getting harder though.

Sleep? This past week I have started waking up even more during the night, switching sides, etc.

Food Cravings? Still haven’t had anything crazy.

What I Miss: Recognizing myself in the mirror, (for real, I always surprise myself if I get a glimpse in a mirror unexpectedly or something), alcohol, my normal closet.

Symptoms: I swear this past week is the week that I really started feeling really pregnant. My back has started hurting a little, especially after a long day at the office…I need to work on my posture when I am sitting at my desk all day. Starting to have some cramping, moving a little slower at night, etc. I'm still making it thru the night without having to get up to go to the bathroom which is great, but I feel like I have to go every 30 minutes during the day. Pressure is definitely starting to kick in down there.

Best Moment of the Week? Our glider was delivered yesterday, I had no clue it was going to be in already, and I am in LOVE. It is soooo comfy, and gorgeous! We also went and met the pediatrician we wanted to use this morning and I absolutely adore her, she is wonderful. Such a good feeling. I also got my first prenatal massage Tuesday night, which was absolutely divine. I got two gift certificates for my birthday for prenatal massages, I’m going to wait and use the other closer to the end. I wish I could afford to have one weekly.

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more! This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun! (and extra chaos of course, too!) We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing. We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom. We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME! We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome! We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball! My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!! Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer. I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies. Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long. (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together. We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball! That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun! Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
