Friday 5 {Baby Edition}

Sweet Friday- it's good to see you. I've got a lot of weekend fun planned and I am so looking forward to the next few days. Hopefully the snow from yesterday is gone and the report of temperatures in the high 50's and maybe even 60's is correct for this weekend. As I was drafting up this post of all the highlights of this week everything seemed to turn baby-related so I figured I'd run with it. 

ONE - I had my 24 week appointment Wednesday and everything is on track and healthy for baby and me both. He's measuring just slightly ahead of schedule, maybe a week- but nothing to be concerned about at this point. I've gained 11 pounds total, get heartburn after eating just about anything, still trying to walk about 4-5 days a week, feeling excited- really can't complain! Next appointment brings the infamous glucose test- can't wait to see what all that fuss is about.

TWO - Also this week we took dinner over to Jared's grandma one night. She requested Skyline Chili which we were happy to pick up. She made this beautiful blanket for our little one and I couldn't love it more.

The colors are so perfect for our ocean-themed nursery and the yarn is so, so soft. I just love this treasure from our baby's great-grandmother. How cool is that, seriously?! We had a nice visit with her, lots of stories were told and I told her I'd try to have the baby on her 88th birthday which is just a few days before my due date ;)

THREE - I've been feeling kicks and punches for a couple of weeks now pretty consistently and Jared has caught a couple here and there. I swear, this little dude must sense when it's Jared because he'll stop moving completely. Playing tricks already ;) However- one night this week out of no where I got a huge jab to the belly and actually SAW my stomach move. It startled me, it was so much more pronounced than any other movement so far. Pretty crazy/weird/cool all combined.

FOUR - Our wedding photographer recently offered us a free maternity "mini-session" if we are interested! I did a favor for her back in the fall and she wanted to pay me back so to speak. I honestly didn't think we would get maternity photos done at all just because they're so pricey and I wasn't sure if I'd really want them. But since they are free and it's just 30 minutes, I think we'll take her up on this offer in a couple months when I'm bigger. But not too big.

FIVE- When your BFF is also pregnant and texts you to, "go outside and make Jared take a picture of your belly in the snow. It's so pretty!" you just listen. I'm hopeful this was the last big snow of the season so I'm glad we ran out to the back deck and snapped a few pictures just for fun.

Let's be honest- I'm just not good at pictures! ;)

I hope everyone has a great weekend planned! I know I do :)
