Weeks 15-16!

Hey y'all! Weeks 15-16 here! It is OFFICIALLY summer, finally, and we are beyond stoked. My middle-skittle turned THREE last week and we celebrated in style, lots of trains and rainbows and cupcakes...everything my Kiki loves. Despite all of the work that goes into parties like this (mamas, I know you hear me!), it was a great day! WE LOVE OUR KIKI!

Her "train conductor" overalls, haha! 

My not-so-little baby!

Cupcakes!

 ...and dessert for breakfast.

We also went to the carnival on her actual birthday...three-year old heaven.

Maeve "helping" set up.

When the party and birthday was over, we had a week and then moved right into MY birthday! Kind of anti-climactic this year, which is fine, but we did go to an outdoor festival and celebrate with cake. Another great day! And lots of great summer days in between. This is going to be a summer for the books, I can tell!

Country club chic.

Their first album cover.

Sisters being sisters.

Pool time!

Snacks in the pool, naturally.

First splash pad day!

My bookends.

And silly Kiki.

Headed to the big pool for the first time!

Birthday lunch with my favorite big girls!

Pony rides at our town's festival!

Pushing our beast-of-a-stroller through the crowds!

And that's pretty much it. It has been nice to feel SO much calmer this pregnancy when it comes to worrying about the baby, etc. Frankly, I just don't have the time or room in my brain to worry as much. Which is a blessing. Physically, I don't feel great, for the same reason I feel mentally calmer...my three active kiddos are wearing me out and taking up so much of my life. It's great. But it's exhausting.

BUT. It is really, really great.

Bumps!

I'm definitely visibly pregnant now. Which is a relief! "Is she fat? Or is she pregnant?" Well, both, but definitely the pregnant part...haha!

Big sis giving some love (little sis prob digging through the toilet behind her).

Onto the bumpdate!

How far along? 16 weeks + 1 day!

Clothing? I am slowly realizing that I need more than two pairs of maternity shorts...haha!

Stretch marks? Yep.

Sleep? Waking up to pee in the middle of pretty much every night, already! Not fun!

Best moment of this week? Hearing that baby HB (142-147 bpm) on the doppler yesterday! You were wiggling all around but sounding GREAT!

Worst moment of this week? I have been super dizzy this week. It's probably some combo of being dehydrated and having pretty low BP. Really not enjoyable.

Miss anything? Wine. I finally miss wine. Ha!

Movement? Was feeling a few wiggles a day, and then it kinda stopped! But it's slowly starting back up again. More more more!

Symptoms? Tired, sore/shaky muscles, dizzy, hungry/nauseous combo, and MOODY.

Food cravings? LEMONADE. Twizzlers. Gummy candies.

Gender? Eh, I feel like it's a girl again. BUT WHO KNOWS.

Labor Signs? Nah.

Belly button in or out? Outie and proud.

Wedding rings on or off? On! 

Mood? So moody and hormonal. Obviously happy in general, but definitely sensitive and snippy this week...sorry world!

Looking forward to? My 20-week ultrasound in 4 weeks...so far away, but so exciting! Also MORE MORE MORE WIGGLES!

That's all she wrote! Have a great week(s)!
