Saw it. Pined it. Did it. Onesie

This is my pinspiration.  I decided to make mine for Kaysleigh to wear on UT game days.

Guess what Eric's anniversary present finally came.  I was so upset that it didn't come in time but I think it turned out great.

I made Eric a book online about our first year of marriage.  Starting with our honeymoon and ending with finding out about Kaysleigh.

oh, how pinteresting

This is my first time participating in Oh, how Pinteresting.  I thought I would show some of the pictures I like for maternity inspiration.  Eric isn't really interested in paying to get maternity pictures done.  He seems to think we can do them ourselves.  His brother does have a pretty good camera we can use but we don't really  know much about lighting and editing. We'll see how it goes.

26 weeks

Only 3 months left!  Time is going by so fast and I feel like we aren't really prepared at all.  I haven't really bought anything except for clothes.  We are waiting till after the baby showers.  I have gone to some consignment sales and bought some adorable clothes and I'm getting some stuff from my sister. 

How far along?  26 weeks Kaysleigh is the size of a head of lettuce.

Total weight gain/loss: 16+ lbs. I know I've gained more but I still don't have a scale.

Maternity clothes?  yes

Best moment this week: Having a short work day Friday

Movement: She moves all the time especially around 4 in the morning

Symptoms: My skin itches like crazy.

Food cravings: nothing particular this week

Food aversions: Onions again.  I accidently took a bite of one in a wrap last week and I felt sick the whole day.

Gender: girl

Labor Signs: none I've had what I think is a few Braxton hicks contractions.

Belly Button in or out? In 

Stretch Marks? nope

Wedding Ring? On but it's starting to get tighter on hot days

What I miss: sleeping comfortably

What I am looking forward to: Only working 3 days next and going to Kingsport for the weekend.

Milestones: She can open her eyes and see

 

Friday's letters

I wish I had been doing this from the beginning.  I think it is so cute to write a letter to remember how you feel each friday.

Dear Friday, I'm so glad you are here.  The warehouse was exceptionally hot this week.  I'm not sure I'm gonna make it through this summer.  Thank goodness it's a three day weekend.  Dear Baby Kaysleigh, I love you so much and love feeling your kicks and knowing you are growing and healthy but it would be great if you could kinda chill at night.  I'm not getting very much sleep.  I can't wait to meet you in a few months.  Also, I'll go ahead and apologize that you want have your own room and you have to noisy fur brothers.  Dear Weather,  It would be great if you could keep the temperature under 80 at least until the end of June. I think I might sweat to death.  Dear Eric,  It was so great coming home to dinner cooked on Monday and Tuesday.  Also thank you for doing the laundry two weeks in a row.  Maybe I'll help you do the laundry this weekend.  :)  Dear Husband's Ring, why did you have to go and break so now my husband is without a wedding ring.  I guess I shouldn't of bought you off amazon.  Dear Body, Sorry I haven't been to yoga the last 2 weeks.  I promise I'll go this sunday.
Happy Friday

Saw it. Pined it. Did it. Strawberry Pie

  for the link up click here  On Sunday for our anniversary I made a strawberry pie. A few weeks ago Eric had tagged me on strawberry pie recipe on Facebook. Of course when I went back to look for it I couldn't find it but I found one on Pinterest that turned out really great.

I was to lazy to make my own pie crust.  So I bought a deep dish grahm cracker crust.

I creamed together the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar.

These are some great strawberries I got at the farmers market.

The pie all put together before it chilled in the fridge.  I forgot to take a picture making the strawberry sauce.

It tasted amazing and Eric definitely approved.   

24 and 25 weeks

How far along?  25 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 16+ lbs I know I've gained more but I still don't have a scale.

Maternity clothes?  yes

Best moment this week: Eric wasn't suppose to get home until late tonight so he was gonna be working all day on our first anniversary but he got to come home last night.  He did have to go into work at 4 but we got to spend most of the day together.  Also Eric felt Kaysleigh kick for the first time.

Movement: She moves all the time. Her kicks are getting harder.

Symptoms: I'm starting to get more tired again. My back is hurting more and it's getting harder to bend over.  Also since it's getting hot I'm drinking more water and peeing even more often.  I hate having to get up at night to pee because then Kaysleigh wakes up and starts kicking.

Food cravings: This week I really wanted some mexican

Food aversions: It's not a food aversion but the smell of smoke makes me nauseaus.

Gender: girl

Labor Signs: none I've had what I think is a few braxton hicks contractions.  They don't hurt or anything it's just a tightening in my lower stomach.

Belly Button in or out? In 

Stretch Marks? it doesn't seem like I have gotten any new ones.

Wedding Ring? On but it's starting to get tighter on hot days

What I miss: wearing my cute summer clothes

What I am looking forward to: 

Milestones: Apparently her ears are all done developing  now

After church on mothers day

the flowers Eric got me for our anniversary

my two favorite wedding pictures

mothers day weekend

Sorry this is late.  I just haven't had time to post. Eric worked alot this week and by the time I get done walking the dogs, cooking dinner, and cleaning up I just didn't feel like doing anything.

Last weekend we had so much fun Eric was off all weekend so we got to spend it together.  Saturday we went on an early date for our anniversary. Sadly Eric is going to be out of town for our first anniversary. I'm excited though to give him his present when he gets back.  Hopefully it will get here in time. We (ok I) decided we should do traditional anniversary gifts.  The first year is paper. Im interested to see what Eric comes up with.

We celebrated mothers day on Sunday. Even though Kaysleigh isn't born yet I'm still a mother now.  So we went to church together and Eric cooked me breakfast, did the laundry, and cooked an awesome steak dinner.  He doesn't cook that often, mainly because I'm kinda a control freak in the kitchen, but when he does it's always really good. It aggrivates me though cause I can't fix scrambled eggs as good as he does.

I got Mothers Day cards from my sister and father-in-law.
