I have missed my blog world SO much and am finally getting my photo storage crisis solved which means... more posts! However, I owe you all some updates... a lot has happened in the past 2 months (and baby thump thump has grown quite a bit!!!!) The last time I posted Thump thump could be compared to a small cantaloupe at 6.5 inches and weighing 10.6 oz and now he is compared to the size of a butternut squash at 15.25 inches and weighing 2.5 pounds! WOW!
Some highlights since our "What will baby BEE party!"...
July~
*4th of July adventure to Time Out in CT with our dear friends Kate and Jen! A super fun road trip and a weekend full of laughter and sunshine with Kate's family! What a memorable weekend!
August~
*a lovely babymoon, just me and boat shoes... a week in Naples filled with sunshine, sand, relaxation, beach palapas, yummy meals and TIME together!
*baby thump thump's furniture arrived!
*Boat shoes can now feel thump thump kick and move around - what a miraculous feeling!
September~
*a TN adventure to see lots of besties... first stop: Nashville, TN to see Elizabeth, Clark & Sterling; Adam, Christie & Dave; Angel, Todd & Elizabeth Grace and attend the first football game of the season... Vanderbilt vs. Elon.. my two alma maters and then on to Knoxville for time with my big brother Bentley & Jessica and the Andrews family at their beautiful lake home
(road trip tips for pregnant gals... stop often, bring lots of snacks, laugh alot, dont look at the clock, enjoy!)
*a Charlotte, NC train and road trip for time with family, my first baby shower in Charlotte with so many old friends from life! It was such a humbling experience to hear so many tips, pieces of advice, congratulations and for baby Luther to be showered with so many precious things from lovies and blankets, to bottles and bibs.. this is one loved little boy!
Now for some pregnancy updates...
Cravings...
I LOVE fruit! strawberries, pineapple and watermelon have been my top 3 choices; however, bananas and apples are not appealing at all! I have not had any, "I need this now" cravings; however, I sure enjoy a nice warm cookie from time to time (I'm just not sure I can blame that on pregnancy!)
What I miss...
Apples!
A glass of red wine on a chilly fall evening with my husband
Going for a long run... Cant wait to run with a BOB stroller and our precious son one day!
What I can't wait for...
our next ultrasound!
completing the nursery... hanging thump thump's beautiful new painting from Shower Me with Love in Charlotte; putting his adorable whale bedding in his crib; choosing a name that we love; ordering his first monogrammed outfit
seeing our professional maternity photos
Milestones...
Boat shoes and I completed our 8 hour childbirth class and toured the labor and delivery floor at the hospital where baby thump thump will be born!
THIRD TRIMESTER!
