Week 28: Lark's Sprinkle

Another week closer to meeting this girl and NOT being pregnant anymore! It was a lovely week in the mountains, though. We've reached peak color on the leaves and we hosted a little sprinkle for Lark on the 24th... which was also my 35th birthday! It was so nice to have our NC friends and family together for a few hours. I missed all our Florida people, but I know I will get to see them shortly after Lark is born. Daniel was a real champ and sent me away for pedicures and brunch with my friend Brittany before the shower- he handled all the set up with his parents. He also got us Stand Up Paddleboards for my birthday and I am SO EXCITED to use them next summer with him. I hope grandma and grandpa don't mind watching the kids for an hour or two so we can head out on the lake!

We also got some of the finishing touches on the nursery complete. I need to do some shopping for some final decorative items and then I will be ready to share! It came together much more quickly this time, but having a crib and a bunch of baby things already does help. All in all, I am just hopeful these last 10 weeks pass me by quickly and I'm holding my sweet girl before I know it. I know this is the last time I will be pregnant, but I am SO okay with that. ready for tiny baby cuddles and a whole new adventure as a mom of two. 

How far along? 28 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yes and I need to get some fleece lined maternity leggings! The cooler weather has arrived.
Stretch marks? No, and my doctor complemented my belly skin during my last appointment!
Ankle Watch: The countdown to when they went crazy last time is on..... the real swelling started around 31 weeks last time.
Sleep: Only a few hours at a time. Early bed times are the only real way I get sleep, which makes me sad. I miss watching TV  and relaxing with Daniel, but I'm exhausted!
Best moment(s) this week: Our sprinkle at our house for Lark. Frankie got plenty of new toys, too!
Miss Anything? Pumpkin beer with a graham cracker rim.
Movement: She has definitely gotten me a few good times this week. A lot more movement when I'm sitting at my desk.
Food cravings: I'm too full all the time to enjoy food.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really sick, just.... uninterested in food.
Gender: Got a bunch of new cute girly things at the shower Sunday!
Labor Signs: Nope. And it can stay that way until Christmas, please.
Pregnancy Symptoms: Large large large. I am large. My back is killing me, indigestion, lots of peeing.....
Belly Button in or out? TECHNICALLY it still dips in a little bit
Rings on or off? On. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Both. I am happy, but I am tired and I would like to not have heartburn.
Looking forward to: Halloween! I always love a good pregnant Halloween costume!

Brittany also snapped some pictures from our sprinkle. Thank you, Brittany!
