I feel: tired, but much more relaxed.
Happy or Moody: Happy.
Showing: Yes
Maternity Clothes: Rockin’ maxi dresses and skirts, my maternity capris and shorts, lots of tank tops with cardigans and v-neck t-shirts. The last pair of pre-pregnancy jeans were retired on Friday.
Exercise: Dog walks.
Miss Anything: Sushi.
Anything make you sick/queasy: Mike packed his lunch this morning (chicken) and the smell of poultry at 6:15 a.m. made me want to barf.
Movement: Her movements are still pretty big (not all the time, but a lot) for how little room she’s supposed to have. She was doing a lot of moving around last night so I am hoping she was repositioning and getting ready for arrival in the next month or so!
Excited for: our maternity photos this weekend with Catherine Ann Photography!
Favorite Moment of the Week: Spending the weekend with our closest family and friends – I didn’t want it to end and wish we had more time with everyone!
This weekend was much more exciting and less stressful than I imagined it to be. I had an amazing time with Michael’s family in Bradenton celebrating his mom’s birthday and our baby shower. I met a lot of his relatives that I hadn’t met yet (including his older sister and her family), and I felt so comfortable with everyone right off the bat, which was wonderful.
Vanessa & Kyle’s wedding in Clearwater on Saturday was gorgeous! I wouldn’t have expected anything less from the newlyweds. It was great being able to celebrate with them! I realized that Baby M has been to 4 weddings thus far! Quite the crasher.
Our baby shower couldn’t have been more successful thanks to my mom, Mike’s parents, Mike’s sisters and his aunt. Everyone worked so hard to put it together for us. A huge thank you to our guests as well – I was so happy with who turned up and felt incredibly blessed with those that traveled far distances to make it for the occasion. Of course there were some who couldn’t make it, but I know they were celebrating with us in spirit. I’ve included some photos from the shower in this post.
Mike and I both took Monday off to recover from the weekend’s activities. We dedicated most of Monday to working on the nursery and putting items from the shower away. We got a lot done! I am determined to finish the nursery on Saturday (with some help from him of course), so hopefully next week’s post will include the great nursery reveal.
