Happy Memorial Day, friends! We spent the day hanging out and eating BBQ sauce smothered food with my family. We are so appreciative of our friends and family members who serve our country and all of those who have lost their lives protecting us. As I drove home today, passing flag after flag and car lined streets all happily celebrating, it was humbling to stop and remember those loved ones grieving their soldiers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you!
A little bit of how our holiday weekend went.
This photo was pre-sunburn. A little too much sun....and icing.
While it was nice to finally relax, Justin and I have been pulling our hair out trying to get everything done with the wedding countdown just under 2 weeks. Last weekend we were officially allowed to start moving things into the apartment. Justin was stuck on a lovely 9 hour Saturday shift so my parents and soon to be in laws helped move everything in. We were so fortunate to get an early wedding gift with about 1/3 the items on our registry from our family so we were able to set up our home even more :) Sunday night we took a break from the madness and headed to a live action sports show, Nitro Circus. In short, it's a bunch of grown men and women plummeting their bodies down ramps and over jumps on everything from motocross bikes to recliners on wheels. Justin was just a little bit excited as the show was starting, obviously.
A few days after the show we received yet another extremely generous wedding gift from family members which turned out to be our living room furniture and almost all of our new "home" decor. We absolutely do not feel worthy of all of the love and help we've received as we move into the next phase of life but we are so blessed by it! We need a few more days to get the apartment together but mark my words, there will be house tour. Although it may be a few days late (like the weekly update) and it may skip a week entirely (like we skipped week 21).....oops.
Here's to yet another fat girl picture. Soak it up, twigs ladies.
How far along? 22 weeks. Finally wearing something other than Nike Pros and a tshirt.
Total weight gain/loss? 16 pounds!
Maternity clothes? Yep
Stretch marks? No
Sleep? Still good but I need at least 10 hours after a long day. Say what.
Best moment this week? Finally getting to set up our place where baby girl will spend her first years and watching her do the wave in my belly every time I lay down.
Miss Anything? Mountain biking with my man. Cold beer on a Friday night (& the radio up).
Movement? Yep
Food cravings? Anything spicy or carb loaded, pickles, and chinese takeout. Additionally, the egg bacon bagel obsession has returned.
Have you started to show yet? See photo above
Gender prediction? It's a girl.
Labor Signs? No
Belly Button in or out? I have become more obsessed with my belly button than the children I watch are obsessed with The Belly Button Book. My poor button is stuck in the strange flat stage where it can't decide if it's an innie or outie. Sigh, only time will tell.
Engagement ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to? Letting the bump get some more sun this week as the weather calls for 80's and sunny!
I hope you all had a fun, safe weekend. Cheers!
