Another week has gone by! Time is fly-ing. I missed blogging last week, as Josh and I were in Tybee Island living the life. Seriously, it was so much fun. I haven’t felt that relaxed in a long time. We went to the Georgia Aquarium, ate the best crab of my life at The Crab Shack (highly recommended, even if you don’t like crab. They have live gators! Yeehaw.), took a trolley ghost tour in Savannah with Ghosts and Gravestones, munched with Paula Deen (just kidding) at The Lady and Sons, lounged on the beach, and Josh sampled some local beers at the Savannah Craft Brew Fest. I would call that my “baby-moon”, but we’re trying to have another get-away to Chattanooga in late October. I’m a lucky, spoiled girl.
We have our next appointment for Eli in 9 days, so I have no real updates on him, other than he’s alive and building up his quads and biceps with vigorous exercise. We’ve been having it pretty good. Of course there are the not so pleasant effects of being pregnant (mostly pain), but I also have been hearing a lot of “You’re so happy” and “Well, you’re in a good mood”. Can’t complain about that. Here I am at weeks 21 and 22. I think how big I look really just depends on what I’m wearing. I’ve gained 11 lbs in 22 weeks, but apparently that’s normal.
Haha Optimus wanted in on the action. He was in my face the whole time we were taking week 22 pictures giving me this look. Translated: PLEASE take my picture mom!"
This week I decided to make some custom ‘art’ (I’m using that word loosely) for Eli’s room. Here’s what I came up with after being inspired by Etsy.
I plan to print them out somewhere solid and mount them in 8x10 frames, but I think I’m going to wait until the room is painted, just to make sure the coloring is cohesive. I kind of want to make a ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’ silhouette print, but I’ll need to work on my computer skills in order to figure out how to do it properly. I don’t want to just put some random silhouettes up there.
We have our first baby shower coming up next Saturday! Can’t wait to fill you all in.
Well, I’ve got to get ready. I’ve got church, brunch with a good friend at Copper Kettle, and Sleep Number shopping with the hubby on the books. Hope you have a great Sunday!
