HOW FAR ALONG? 27 weeks…. only 13 ish weeks left.

SIZE OF OUR SWEET BABY? The head of cauliflower  (about 16 inches head to heal, and about 2.5 lbs).

MATERNITY CLOTHES?  Yep. Still rockin’ them. Got some new maternity yoga pants so I’ll be exercising more soon.

GENDER: BOY

SLEEP?  More vivid/realistic dreams the past couple weeks. They stick with me all day long, it’s so weird/awkward.

FOOD CRAVINGS? Iced coffee, peanut butter, cold milk, sweets (baked goods).

WHAT I MISS?  Exercising outside at the lake. It’s just too dang hot after work and I’ve been so busy or out of town.

SYMPTOMS? (Same as last week.) Achey and swollen feet. Super strong & fast growing finger nails. Less oily skin (which I’ve enjoyed).

BELLY BUTTON? (Same as last week.) SO stretched out. It’s as flat as can be with a tiny part that’s starting to pop out. Also starting to get that linea negra (weird tan vertical line below my belly button).

BEST MOMENT(S) OF THE PAST WEEK?

1. Spending the weekend at the beach (Galveston) with my family/cousins.  I cherish our candid group and individual conversations/laughter. It’s so great that we can pick right back up where we last left off as if not skipping a beat. It was this time last year I was walking the beach with one of my cousins discussing our miscarriage from that recent February. It’s such a blessing to see how far we’ve come in the past year. Praise God!

2. Letting my cousins feel Brady move/kick. It’s so funny to see how it freaks some people out and others are so amazed.

3. Lying in the hammock at the beach house with Brian (how we both fit and didn’t break it still amazes me) while quasi dozing  in and out of a nap and then watching Brady do his crazy rapid dance movements that wiggle my entire belly like he’s trying to get out. It’s hard not to laugh while watching.
