We had so much fun with Ashby's family last weekend, tons of food, fun and laughing. When we got there on Friday night we ended up eating dinner and then going to a bar. Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed a cup of coffee at the bar while everyone around me enjoyed their adult beverages. We also witnessed a fight and it took us 30 minutes to move through the crowd of people to use the bathroom at the bar. Honestly, I had a great time! We also had the opportunity to meet several of Michael (Ashby's cousins) friends, who are majority girls, he literally had 15 girls around him at one time. It was hilarious!
The weather was perfect for football on Saturday. We started the day by touring Michael's fraternity (Sig Ep) house. It is currently being built and they are all supposed to move in within two weeks. The place was huge!
Virginia Tech ended up wining the game, which made all of us very happy, and we ended up tailgating until about 6pm! Ashby and I got home and hung out for a little, then went back out to celebrate Bambi's birthday.
So there is a little weekend recap for ya! This weekend Ashby and I are planning to work in baby girl's nursery. We have to remove some furniture, sort through clothes in the closet, and organize important paperwork/documents. I know this sounds super fun.... Honestly though, I've been struggling with deciding on the decor for the nursery and a blank space will be a lot easier to work with then what I've got now!
Now for the standard bump picture....
How far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: So earlier this week I got on the scale. Big mistake, it's not that it's a lot, I just don't think I can look as the numbers begin to climb. 13lbs so far.
Maternity clothes? Maternity bottoms all the time, or stretchy pants. I have several maternity shirts and am still able to wear some of my normal shirts. Luckily it's starting to get cooler and I can wear some of my bigger sweaters/wraps.
Stretch marks? I finally got new cream! There are two stories related to this new cream. 1) I was on the phone with my Mom while getting the cream. She informed me that she never used cream and never got stretch marks and people that she does know, that did use cream, have stretch marks. Moral of the story: She thinks I don't need it. 2) I went to use my lotion on Tuesday morning and I could not get the thing open. Ashby tried, I tried, Ashby tried again. Nothing. I ended up taking a screw driver to the top that afternoon. I mean really, how long have I been looking forward to getting new cream and then I can't get the thing opened. Lame. P.S. It smells delish. It's the Gud brand from Burts Bee.
Sleep: Yeah, it's just not comfortable.
Best moment this week: Going to pick up Bailey's crib (thank you parentals) and going out to eat at Firebirds. We had a scratch off coupon (the kind they have to scratch for you once you get there), that ended up being $25 off of meal. Winning.
Miss Anything? Wearing my non-maternity jeans. Sleeping on my stomach.
Food cravings: Randomly I have been wanting homestyle cooking this week. I had a bbq meatloaf, sweet potatoes and kale earlier this week and a pot roast in the crockpot. The bbq meatloaf was super good, I gave myself a pat of the back (like 5 times) and made Ashby pat me on my back.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I've never had indigestion before, but I feel like I have it now. Since this weekend all I've been doing is burping. Gross. I think it have it pegged to fried food (I've been partaking in a little too much recently) and coffee. I'm not giving up coffee, I'd rather burp all day then go without.
Belly Button in or out? In and I hope it stays that way.
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Excited but a little stressed with my to do list.
Looking forward to: Cleaning out the nursery this weekend and getting things organized in Casa de Walton. Ashby's 30th birthday.
The baby is the size of: An english cucumber (weight wise/length wise), I'd post a pic of the cucumber but it just looks wrong. Also, her ears are fully developed and she is more sensitive to sound now, meaning she can now hear our voices.
This was a long one wasn't it?! Thanks for hanging in there until the end! Enjoy your Friday and your weekend!
