Hello everyone. Hope everyone is having a great week. Today I get to share the first update of my third trimester! We are really starting to countdown. Pretty soon, those numbers are going to drop lower and lower as we approach due date. I am so looking forward to it.
How far along: We are 28 weeks and baby bean is the size of an butternut squash.
Maternity clothes: Yes, the maternity pants are pretty much a staple right now. I have been really blessed to find some adorable shirts from Mom Life USA and I am absolutely in love with them! The graphic tee sayings display my personality to a point and I love how I feel when I’m in them. I like them so much that I’ve agreed to be an ambassador for them. Plus, you all know I love my fur babies. This store donates 10% of every sale to local animal shelters to help save fur babies. You have got to love that! I do not receive any compensation from them, but I really love the shirts and will definitely let you know if that changes!

Love my Bug! |
High School Town Hall. Thursday night, Bug and I tuned into the Virtual High School Town Hall to get information on how the school year is going to progress in a couple of weeks. There were a lot of answered questions and several unanswered ones as well. I suppose this fell under great moments because it means my Bug is one step closer to becoming a HS freshman. That came WAY too quick!
Any new symptoms: The Braxton Hicks are certainly regular visitors now and my feeling very uncomfortable if I sit too long. Also, I’m really experiencing the heavy feeling in my pelvis when I stand up, especially if seated for a while. I’m paying close attention to that.
Cravings and Aversions: I’m craving all the cold things. Ice cold water. Slushees. Smoothies. Frozen fruit. I’ve visited Wawa so much the clerk already knows my orders. It’s the same at Tropical Smoothie.

Yes. Yes, I know it says 44 oz. Say nothing. |
- Bug’s Town Hall was this week. Next week, we are picking up his laptop, freshmen shirt, and class schedule. Though classes will be virtual, it’s still a pretty big deal that he’s about to be a freshman.
- Honeybee has orientation next week and will be prepped to begin first grade. I received her teacher and schedule information this week. This is really going to be interesting.
- Baby A.’s birthday is next week! She will be three! You want to talk about a fast three years! I am so looking forward to celebrating her. Granted, it will be just core family as it was with J, but I know she will have a great time and I’m looking forward to celebrating her.

Soon to be 3! |
Activity level: I had a full on dance party with my kids this week. I’ve also been walking more and trying to get my body in prep mode.
