Week 27

Baby H is the size of an rutabaga.

27 weeks! Max is about 2 lbs :-)

Showing off my bump in an adorable new skirt I got for work...

DIY Print for Max's Nursery

Quilt no.2 is complete!

Gabe got up at 6:30 am on his day off to make me coffee on my first day back to work. He is the most amazing husband in existence! I'm so lucky to be his wife <3 

Back to work! Like our bulletin board?

How far along? 27 Weeks

Maternity clothes: It's back to cardigans for work. Pretty much all my maternity tops have 3/4 length sleeves, which is a no-go for teaching, since they leave my tattoos exposed. Hopefully the weather will cool down soon!

Stretch marks? Still None!

Sleep: My dreams are entirely about teaching or being pregnant. Obviously those are the two topics most on my mind at the moment, but this creates some strange dream scenarios. Can I please not go into labor in my classroom?!

Best moment this week: Catching up with family-

     Saturday we met up with Aunt Sarah and Uncle David at Cahill's Market and Kitchen in Bluffton, S.C. It was a special treat to get out of town and meet up with Sarah and David, who we hadn't seen in quite some time. We caught up over a delicious brunch of chicken n waffles, southern style, sharing news about Max, work, and our day to day lives. This place may also have had the best bacon I've ever eaten! The bucolic, sunlit restaurant is surrounded by a greenhouse, fields of wildflowers, and peaceful country side. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing visit, which is exactly what we had. Okay, now I want waffles lol!  

Miss Anything? Turkey Sandwiches

Movement: Max is very active now, and I love feeling him move throughout the day. Even if work gets crazy, his kicks instantly relax me and make me smile. I know I'm going to love being this little man's mama, because I already do!

Food cravings: CHOCOLATE!!!! I haven't really wanted chocolate at all during my pregnancy, but now I could devour it in cases. Thankfully I don't have any in the house!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Gender: Mr.!

Labor Signs: None, thankfully.

Symptoms: Aching back and feet, emotional, leg cramps, leaking colostrum, fatigue, food cravings, hot flashes, and the best part, ever-growing baby and belly :-) 

Belly Button in or out? In. 

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Thankful - The other night I was looking through some of our photos from this year and I got overwhelmed by how thankful I am for the amazing life that I have with Gabe and Max. I started crying because of how happy I was, then I got sad that I was crying about being happy and couldn't stop crying, which is just ridiculous. Pregnant lady emotions:

Looking forward to: My shower in just a week!
