27 weeks down, 13 weeks to go

Sorry for the 2 week delay in a post! We have been super busy - which seems to be the trend for the start of every post...but it's true.

Last weekend we went to Lynchburg, TN, where we rented a lake house for the weekend. It was amazing! Such a wonderful break and relaxing time. Weston had an absolute blast! We went fishing and he loved it. I need to update Weston's blog asap - in which I'll post pictures of his fishing experience :)

Pregnancy - I'm starting to feel the effects of the 3rd trimester approaching. The lethargic feeling is starting at 6pm instead of 9pm and my body is refusing to bend in ways it's accustomed to bending. I find myself actually bending (a lot!) at the knees to pick something up, because if I don't, my belly is actually IN THE WAY of letting me bend. Baby Girl is GROWING! It's a great feeling to know she is getting closer and closer to meeting us. And it's also a reminder of how large and uncomfortable I was towards the end with Weston. All in all, it's more than worth it :) So bring it on, weight gain, heartburn, sciatica pain, and sickness - I'm ready! Ready to meet this baby GIRL!

I'm heading home (to Carrollton) this weekend for 2 things:  a "Sprinkle" that some of my best girlfriends are throwing. (It's a luncheon and I am so thankful for their thoughtfulness to shower baby girl (and me!) with love. I can't wait!) And the second, for Laurie Kaye's baby shower on Sunday. It's at Gamma's house (my Mother's) and I am pumped to shower LK! It's going to be a great weekend!!

I'll post a belly picture soon, promise! We also have our 28 week (7 month) appointment next Thursday. We will get to see baby girl again! I'll also post her latest portrait :)

Easter @ 25 Weeks

Easter weekend was amazing! We had such a wonderful time. Gamma, Poppa, Uncle Carson & Robbie all came into Nashville. We had Weston's Easter Egg Hunt & Party at school on Friday during the day and we celebrated my birthday and Gamma's birthday on Friday evening. Saturday we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Nashville Zoo and enjoyed a fun family day! We went to church on Sunday and had an awesome Easter lunch. It was such a great weekend!

Pregnancy wise - I'm getting soo big!! I'm feeling more and more pregnant every day, physically. Baby girl is doing somersaults every 15 minutes and is always ready to let someone else feel her or watch her move around. My feet were swollen for the first time Saturday afternoon. I can't believe the swelling has begun. Time is going by so fast. This pregnancy is so different than the first in so many ways. It's much easier in ways and much harder in ways. But I will admit - I am enjoying it :) I can't wait to meet her.

We are headed back in the morning for Round 2 of the glucose test! And we are also having an ultrasound so we get to see her!! YAY!! We are excited to see how much she has changed in the 5 weeks since we've seen her. I'll post again this week with an ultrasound picture.
