Caroline has been getting some extra zzz's this week.
She's been sleeping until noon. Yes, noon.
She normally sleeps until around 10- but this week, no matter how much noise I make this girl is sleeping in. Noon a few days & half passed noon on the others. Goodness.
I'm not complaining about it- I've been able to get a lot of things done before she gets up.
I get to work extra hours in the morning-workout-shower and get some chores started.
All uninterrupted.
Not to mention, if her body needs the extra rest, then I'll let her have it.
She's sleeping more for a reason :)
Exciting news! Joseph started at his new store today!
If you only knew how exciting this actually is!
He is now.....wait for it......5 minutes from the house!
WHOOP WHOOP!
Which means more sleep for him in the morning..
Coming home for lunch in the afternoons..
& Getting home earlier in the evenings.
We're so happy to have Daddy so close to home!
Talk about simplifying things!
Caroline & Joseph have both been taking advantage of him being home for lunch.
They've been shooting the bow in the backyard some days.
Caroline loves it. (obviously she's not shooting it- but she helps collect the arrows after)
We went to the market Wednesday & got our pumpkins.
One for Daddy.
One for Mommy.
One for Caroline.
& One for baby Hadley.
& her sissy's.
She literally did not want to leave.
We'll be going back soon.
They had quite a bit of things I'd love to check out!
Thursday we did a lot of painting.
[we did a paint project last weekend that came out really well - now we're digging deeper]
We're now getting adventurous with fall colors.
A lot of little paint projects coming up for my little & me.
& I'm probably more excited about it than she is! #sorrynotsorry
Caroline had nursery school on Friday.
I love how much she loves it.
She is so excited to go and gets more excited when she sees all the other kids.
& I love seeing all her artwork hanging around the classroom.
Then when I pick her up, she wants to show me her favorite things.
I melt just watching her enthusiasm.
We had company over the weekend!
Opa, GiGi & Uncle Matt Man came to visit Saturday.
Costume reveal?!
Caroline was a Zebra!
& not just any zebra - the cutest zebra in the world.
[seriously- see for yourself]
We all went to Downtown Fairhope's Trick or Treating.
It was a lot of fun. & there was a lot more community involvement that I expected.
[It's so great to see how involved this town is. It really is such an interesting place to live]
All of the shops & restaurants participated in handing out candy.
There were so many people in costumes- babies, kids & adults a like.
There was also a Car Show going on, so it was cool to see all the old cars on the streets.
Our little Zebra had a blast trick-or-treating. She got the hang of it really quick.
She would say 'tick-teeeet" for trick-or-treat.
She said thank you & of course she said her other favorite:
HAVE A GOOD DAYYYYYY.
#shesprecious
After the festivities we went back to the house for lunch & apps on apps on apps.
Of course- Saturday's are for football. So that's what our day consisted of.
Despite the outcome of my game - I'll still say it:
Go Seminoles
& of course as always - Roll Tide.
I am giving myself & Joseph major props for a fantastic dinner.
The weekends are for grilling.
We always grill on Saturday or Sunday - if not both.
We grilled the most delicious Ribeyes - had Baked Potatoes & a crisp mixed Salad.
Dinner was the.bomb.
Sunday we did house projects. Nothing major - but things that needed to be done.
We finally moved the desk and computer to the master bedroom's "sitting room."
It looks so much better in there.
& the guest room now looks like a whole new room.
I'm very happy with it.
Our phone & internet provider came out & installed our new hookup
so we are up and running and good to go!
More projects to come this upcoming week.
We have one more room to paint gray- the bathroom.
[I don't know why it's taking so long for us to get that done, haha]
We've been procrastinating.
With all the daily activities and fun,
this pregnancy is flying by.
P.S - my sinus infection is gone & is not welcome back anytime soon!
Here's to 26 weeks, y'all! 14 to go!
How far along? 26 Weeks
Total weight gain: 14 poundsSleep: I'm sleeping through the night - Joseph says I've started sleeping with my knees up as far as they'll go (aka in his back) haha luckily we have a King bed & he can run from me ;)
Best moment(s) this week: Caroline is kissing my belly more and more frequently without being prompted to. ohemgee.
Miss anything?: Wine. & Beer. I miss drinking (in moderation, don't get all judgey) and watching football. Everyone loves beer and pizza. Wine & Steak. And maybe a little night cap. lol I said don't judge!
Movement: A whole lot of it. You can see my belly move now.
Best thing about this pregnancy: Adding a new member to our family!
Worst thing about this pregnancy: Little bit of back pain (I know I know, pregnancy makes your posture change)
Food cravings: Salad. Green Leafy Salad. With French Dressing. MMMMMM.
Labor Signs: no where close.
Belly Button in or out? In
Last time you cried over something ridiculous: I've been good since that last breakdown that I mentioned. Yay, me!
What I am looking forward to: Carving Pumpkins. Trick-or-Treating this upcoming weekend. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Hadley's baby Sprinkle. Caroline's 2nd Birthday. & the arrival of our 2nd little girl!
Weekly Wisdom: Read labels. If you want Brie, you can have Brie. Just bake that shizz! [You have no idea how happy I am to have Brie back in my life!]
