23 Weeks!

July 11th

Baby Girl is the size of a Chincilla this week! She's over a foot long now and weighs about  1 1/4 pounds. Baby is starting to kick more and my app said she would start to respond to things on the outside world. I wasnt quite sure I believed this, but it's TRUE! Carter has gotten super protective of me and whenever John and I play fight, Carter goes crazy barking at him. Well we were playing around one night this week and Carter starting barking. The baby kicked every time he barked! It was SUPER cute!! 

How's Mama? Tired. Very tired. I had to travel for work Sunday and Monday and my flight home Monday was delayed. I didnt get home until close to 2am. I slept in some the next day but then headed straight back to work. When we do site visits, the days are already VERY long, so I was extra super tired from my trip. My trip was great though, just really busy. I definitely got my exercise in though! Walking around campus in the GA heat is NO JOKE. I did have a little swelling from flying, but not as much as I expected. On the flight home though I had terrible Restless Leg Syndrome :(. My app said to start paying attention for Braxton-Hicks contractions too- none to report yet, but crazy they can come so early!. As far as my body, my waist and butt grew a little and I gained a little more weight. It's time to really start slowing that down. I need to really try to work out more to help with the weight control. I'm still fighting acne like a freaking teenager and overall just mostly tired. 

How's Daddy? A trooper. He wins pregnancy. Again. I was craving chocolate something fierce this week and he showed up with candy bars for me. He wasnt sure what I was in the mood for, so he got a variety. I love that man. SO. MUCH. He's also been working hard this week on a fun little home project that we had happen :(

Hubby FTW!

This week:  This week was busy. One morning when I woke up, I woke up to water all over the rug in the kitchen. We are also dog sitting for some friends of ours from Miami that moved here recently- Jenni and Joel! So Carter got to hang out with Kirby again! He's actually still here, we are keeping him for 2 weeks. Anyways, I was like, it couldnt be the dogs. Kirby was in a crate (he's terrified of thunder and it stormed all night) and Carter was in the room with us. Then I looked up. and there was a HOLE IN MY CEILING. I ran and got John up and we figured out it was the HVAC. So his project all week was to figure out what was happening. Luckily, he knows a guy and was able to text him what was going on and we were able to figure out the issue, which turned out to not be a big deal at all. Thank goodness. He also got a quote on how much it would be for us to fix the Mustang top. I dont know if I've updated on it recently, but it's a hot mess. It rains in the car when it rains and it's a huge pain. The quote he got was the first quote and it was very pricey. He's still working on getting more :( 

The BEST part of the week was our baby appointment! Friday afternoon we had an appointment and got to go in and listen to baby girls heartbeat! The appointment was super quick and I imagine they all will be from here on out. We were disappointed to find out that we wont have any more ultrasounds :( We love seeing her! But at this point they will only do one if something is wrong. So far so good though. My blood pressure was perfect again and everything else is going great. :D 


Baby Stuff: 

Diapers! I also found a great deal on Craigslist for used diapers! I went and met the woman and her sweet daughter and decided to purchase them. We now have an awesome stash, which will need to be added to some, but we put a big dent in what we needed! For really cheap too!! Krystal also found a strawberry diaper and a ladybug diaper. She showed them to me and I had to buy them. They are too precious! LOOK!

I cant wait to see her little butt in these!!

Highchair! This week included Prime Day! There were not too many great deals, but we were able to snag the highchair we wanted for a great deal! When it came in, daddy put it together :D

 Carter wanted to help!

 All done! It's SO weird seeing it sit in the eat in kitchen!!

We also had a busy weekend! Saturday was Travis's surprise 30th birthday! We drove down to Greenville to celebrate. His wife threw him a bourbon themed party and it was super cute! Unfortuantely, I had to work for a lot of (yay, being on call) and then got a super bad headache. John had a great time! and I definitely still enjoyed myself :D It was great to see the Such's and spend time with friends :D

Sunday was Britt's Bridal Shower! I cant believe they are getting married in less than a month! Crazy! All the pictures that I got from someone were blurry and of course I didnt take any :( But here ya go!
