hello feet

A couple of years ago, I saw a fun pregnancy layout on Two Peas called Yoo Hoo Feet. I bookmarked the page for future reference and so glad I did. Since loosing sight of my own feet around 28 weeks, I thought it would be fun to create my own page. Yesterday I had Trent take a photo of me tipping over to catch a glimpse of my feet. I lifted the page design from my friend Nylene's 8 layout.Supplies: Stampin' Up cardstock; Bazzill cardstock; Making...

38 Weeks

How far along? 38 weeksTotal weight gain/loss: Down just over 2lbs from last week which I find odd. I've read that it is possible to loose during the last few weeks, but my appetite has been so big the last 3 (and I've definitely indulged a bit) that I fully expected to see another gain.Maternity clothes? Yes, and I am so bored of the same few outfits, but also not willing to spend the money on any new clothes at this point.Stretch marks? Yes, and I did gain some new ones right on the front of my belly. I joked with Trent about how I need a...

37 Weeks

How far along? 37 weeksTotal weight gain/loss: Up 3lbs - effect of my sudden increase in appetite last week?Maternity clothes? Yes.Stretch marks? Yes. But I don't think I've gained any new ones from last week. Although, I'm not exactly counting so who knows.Sleep: Really well. I only wake up once or twice and often can just switch sides and fall back asleep. My only complaint is that no matter how well I sleep, I'm almost always tired during the day now. Too bad I can't squeeze in a daily nap.Best moment this week: Hearing the little guy's...

Laura tagged me a couple of days ago to list my five favorite things about summer...Beach trips. We're very fortunate Trent's parents own a small place just south of Myrtle Beach so we can easily take a weekend (or week long) trip to the beach.Baseball games. For the last 3 or 4 years, we've given each other mini-plan tickets to the Durham Bulls (Tampa's AAA team) as a Christmas gift.Our garden. I enjoy all the beautiful colors in my flower garden...
