#photoadayjuly Week 2

Last week was a special one, as it contained my birthday!  Turning older doesn't seem to bother me much, but maybe that's because with each year, life seems to be getting more exciting.  This year is no exception :)

This birthday was pretty low key, with a little birthday lunch with coworkers, dinner with Sam, and an outpouring of love via gifts, calls, texts, & Facebook posts.  My people sure know how to make me feel special!

+ Day 9 - big {pile of Kleenex, thanks to the horrific head cold I have going on}
+ Day 10 - my favorite color {pink!}
+ Day 11 - letter {M!}
+ Day 12 - texture {handmade birthday flowers}

+ Day 13 - open
+ Day 14 - building {material for upcoming projects}
+ Day 15 - finger {most valuable}

17 Weeks!

How Far Along: 17 weeks!

Size of Baby: a sweet potato this week {5.5 in., 5 oz.} according to What To Expect.

Maternity Clothes: I can still wear some of my pre-pregnancy dresses, but as for tops + bottoms, it's much more comfortable to wear maternity.

Gender: The appointment was just made --- July 23rd can't come soon enough!

Movement: Still nothing, but I'm told it should happen soon.

Sleep: Since returning from our vacation {with a head cold}, I have been sleeping like a rock!

What I miss: Being able to take any medications I want, specifically for aforementioned head cold.

Cravings: Salt has been a big one lately.

Other crazy symptoms: None too crazy, I'm actually feeling my energy creeping back a little.

Best Moment this week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat again after 5 long weeks!  Such a wonderful, reassuring sound!

#photoadayjuly Week 1

Last week was refreshing.  I like to think that's what vacations are suppose to be like.  Full of... beautiful weather, lots of time to read & relax, trying new things, and enjoying the people around you.  And while there wasn't a lot of need for technology, I was able to capture some of great moments from our week in Nova Scotia.

+ Day 1 - self portrait {two of my favorites}
+ Day 2 - busy {day of travel}
+ Day 3 - best part of my day {vacation life}
+ Day 4 - fun {kayaking with Sam}

+ Day 5 - on the floor {Wilson + his toys}
+ Day 6 - chair(s)
+ Day 7 - garden {lettuce seems to be our #1 plant this year}
+ Day 8 - lunch {+ a delicious burrito, not pictured}
