Brunch Baby Shower

My sweet friends had a brunch baby shower for me this morning.  It is almost overwhelming how excited and thoughtful our friends/family are for us.

The food was delish and I loved every detail of the shower!
  Time for presents...
My sweet MIL and my Momma...they are so good to me!
  My sweet friends and family
 I had such a good time with all of them.  
THANK YOU - THANK YOU!
Now...let's just get the little guy here! :)

Pregnancy Highlights -- Ten Week Countdown

We have made it to the 30 week mark

As of my last doctor's visit, I have gained 21 pounds so far in my pregnancy...and I feel like it!  Our little guy should be 15+ inches long now and weigh around 3 pounds.

Sleep is getting more difficult...for both Nathan & myself! :)  When I get sighs and comments that he is not sleeping so great these days, I keep reminding him if I'm tossing and turning all night long I'm probably not sleeping so well myself!  Neither of us are willing to give up and go to the guest bed though.

Maternity clothes are becoming more of a must.  Maxi dress/skirts are still my friend, but I'm having to hit up Target or Old Navy for some shirts that actually fit.  Motherhood's shirts are still a bit baggy and awkward on me.

Not swelling yet.  

Still have a hearty appetite.
The heartburn comes and goes.  I've found some fruity tums that don't make me want to gag so it is manageable now!

He's still pretty active.  He doesn't wake me up at night yet.  He tends to me more active in the afternoons and evenings.  His activity is definitely getting stronger and sometimes makes me gasp because it catches me off guard.

We have our childbirth classes scheduled in the next few weeks and let me tell ya, Nathan cannot wait! :)  I guess it is more for my ease of mind than anything.

I still don't have the decor on the nursery walls, but I did get his rug and a little stand for his room this past week so we ARE making some progress.

I have started washing up his little clothes.  He has SO many newborn outfits...I hope he is small enough to even wear them!

I have his diaper bag packed and ready to go.

I have another baby shower this next week -- my sweet friends are throwing this one for me.  I'm really excited about it.  

I'm at the doctor every two weeks now...I plan to have another update posted at 32 weeks!

Church Baby Shower

 My church small group had a baby shower on me Tuesday evening.  It was such an exciting time for me!  For one, how can you not be excited about all the little cuteness at a baby shower.  It's my turn to be a Momma finally and I'm trying to enjoy every minute of this process! :)
...a time of fellowship and goodies
 ...and a time for presents!  Our little guy won't be lacking for a single thing, it seems.  I felt so blessed with all of the sweet gifts we received.

As if you haven't seen it enough already throughout these pictures...this is what I wore to my baby shower.
outfit details:
maxi skirt, gift / ruffle tee and cardi, target / brown wedges, payless

Pregnancy Highlights



How Far Along: 28 weeks
starting my 3rd trimester!

Size of baby: 14.8 inches long
+2 pounds

Weight Gained:  15 pounds

Sleep: I'm getting pretty tired again.  I went to sleep @ 8:30 the other evening.  I'm very restless when I'm sleeping though...lots of tossing and turning going on here.

Cravings: No cravings.  Hearty appetite still.

Symptoms: Heartburn is in full swing!  I have never had heartburn until now so this is all new to me.  My lower back is very sore, but overall things are still going well!  My belly is getting tighter and his movements are getting stronger!

Movement:  I feel him moving all throughout the day.  I love it and it is such a good reminder to me that he is doing ok in there!

Maternity Clothes:  Some stuff is still too big on me and just looks sloppy so I'm still wearing quite a few items that are just loose or flowly enough to work for this growing bump.

Best moment this week:  We have our first baby shower on Tuesday so I'm really looking forward to that!  I've been working on nursery decor more and more each week and starting to wash up some of the adorable blankets and outfits we have received.  I ordered a diaper bag with his name and am totally in love with how it turned out...

Friday Night Concert Fun

On Friday evening we were given suite tickets to a Kari Jobe / Chris Tomlin concert.  


 I hadn't been to a Chris Tomlin concert previously, but we had a lot of fun!  There were times of worship along with times of dancing.  Louie Giglio spoke for about 30 minutes...we found him to be a phenomenal speaker!
 Then encore brought out the fun! :)
 ...and because you patiently waited, this is what I wore to the concert! :)
