27 weeks

Hello third trimester!! It must be apparent that I am clearly pregnant because multiple strangers have made comments this week. And here I thought I have looked pregnant for a few months! ha!

Baby girl is putting on weight at a rapid pace and has even started to build some muscle tone from all that moving around. I have seen kicks and punches from the outside now too. I love it every time!

We are living the "cool" life and our A/C is officially installed and amazing! Thank goodness because temps were back up in the 90's this week.


We enjoyed a great long weekend and lots of fun celebrating 4th of July! The weather was a little dreary but that didn't keep us down. Carli loved the sparklers and the fireworks this year! She was so brave and the noise didn't bother her (a change from the last few years).

The nursery is completely painted!! I am going to re-finish a dresser and nightstand this weekend. I have been looking at window coverings, decor, and other sweet baby things to add. We also picked out a new rocker and got it ordered. It feels SO good to finally see progress there.

We have also been keeping busy with a few other home improvement projects that we want done this summer. I love checking things off of the list!!
