HAPPY EARLY WEEKEND Y'ALL!

BASKET LOVE -DIY

Add a little sparkle & storage to any room with these chic boho style baskets.  Thinking about doing this in baby doll's nursery to store toys. Instructions & items needed here

Or you can try this white ombre basket look.  Instructions found here

PINK PINK PINK

Gender: BABY GIRL!!!

How far along? 20 weeks half way point

Baby Size: A small cantaloupe

Total weight gain: 8 lbs

Maternity clothes? I am living in Maxi dresses like the one I posted from J.Crew & flats right now!

Stretch marks? Nada lots of oil & lotion after every shower.  I have easily added 15 mins to my daily routine.

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach, I hate sleeping on my side! My brain… it has checked out on me, I can barely remember to put the car in park before trying to get out.  

How my life has changed so far: I celebrated my first Mother’s Day!  It was so nice I got flowers from my husband and we went to register for the baby.  The registry part was a crack up we found out we know little to nothing at all about what babies need.  We were at the store for 3+ hours and I don’t know if we have ever laughed so much in one day.  My husband registered for a baby bjorn based on how much weight it could carry up to 50 lbs or so, we later discovered that 50lbs is = to the weight of a 6 yr old. Needless to say we scratched that registry completely and we are back to square one!

Movement: I officially felt the little bumpcake move!  She is going to be a mini me because the little lady likes Chai tea lattes from Starbucks!  Don’t freak out because I rarely treat myself and when I do I get half the pumps of Chai to lower the caffeine.  My husband gets on my case about thisJ

Food cravings: toast, apples, hint of lime tortilla chips, and Ben & Jerry’s half baked Fro-yo it’s life changing!  Sweet & salty foods!

Symptoms:  My dreams have been getting pretty intense! Let’s just say they rival a cheesy romance novel  haha

OUR LITTLE BUMPCAKE

How far along? 19 weeks

Baby Size: A Large Cinnamon Bun

Total weight gain: 6 lbs

Maternity clothes? I bought a pair of white Paige maternity skinnies, I wear them to death because I hate anything tight around my waist! I also have a pair of red shorts for summer as posted earlier.  Other than that just mixing in my regular clothes.

Miss Anything? Wine, wine, and more wine!  Oh yeah champagne lots of champagne!

Movement: I swear I feel little flutters from time to time.  Sometimes it turns out the flutters are just air bubbles & other times it’s my tummy reminding me it’s snack time.  I am still waiting on a solid kick from this little bumpcake!

Food cravings: Sweets as usual.  Everything fruit… apples, bananas, watermelon, blackberries, and strawberries!  Good stuff to fill up on.

How my life has changed: I know where the bathroom is at my local grocery store because I have to stop every time I'm there shopping.

Gender: Will be confirmed at our appointment on Monday!!!!  We have a pretty good idea though from our 12 week 4-D ultrasound.

Symptoms: Holy hormones.  This past week I was one weepy lady. I fought with my Husband over a white pizza I was craving from Grimaldi’s, I cried because I thought my Dog was being mean to me.  I was having some kind of 48 hour hormone surge!

HAPPY WEEKEND XO
