Halfway there!!

I still can't believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by. I know the last trimester will make it all slow wayyyy down as I will be ready to have sweet girl here already but for now I'm just enjoying every minute of it! I am officially at my halfway point, (20 weeks!), and am definitely starting to feel the muscle aches, leg cramps, etc that go along with having a larger torso ;) I'm not sure why, maybe because I have a short torso, but this baby is sitting just as high as Tripp was and it's seriously killing me! Anyways, this week is not only the halfway mark but also we got a chance to celebrate our 4 year anniversary last night! Our actual anniversary isn't until next week, (July 30th), but Trey was supposed to work that night and is leaving for a coach's retreat the next day so we decided to go ahead and celebrate a week early! Something I should probably get used to by now, seeing that we got married so close to when season picks back up.... Hey- it was the only weekend our wedding venue had available back  in 2011 and I chose that over having to wait another 6 months to marry my husband! So, we had a nice relaxing evening at my favorite restaurant here in the LBK, The West Table! If you are ever out in west Texas and looking for a delicious meal with a fabulous atmosphere then The West Table is your place! You won't be disappointed. Anyways, here are a few shots we got before leaving little man with his sitter....

So, in other news, I read online at a few different places, (ok, maybe it was just Pinterest), that one way to prepare your toddler for a new little sibling is to buy a little babydoll and talk to it and introduce it to your toddler so by the time real baby comes they have already somewhat adapted. Sounds easy, right? Well, we didn't end up making it out of the store with this doll.... my child wanted NOTHING to do with it. (Needless to say, my husband was doing the happy dance and thrilled when I came to this conclusion since he was against it from the start!) Here we are in the store before I decided to put his stuffed baby sister back on the shelf where she belonged.... #mommygetmeoutofthispinkaisleSTAT #bringonthetrucksandairplanes 

Here is my 20 week update!!

How far along? 20 weeks
Wedding rings on or off? On
Maternity clothes? Bought a few adorable dresses at Target but besides that as long as they are flowy and FORGIVING I have been able to get by with wearing non-maternity as well.... for now.....
Best moment this week: I think Tripp is starting to understand he is getting a little sister, (or sibling). He comes up and points to my belly and leans over and kisses it. Its super sweet and I can promise you I did not teach him or force him to do that- its super crazy. However, he does see Trey talk to my belly when he gets home from work so that may help... 
Food cravings: Still loving my onion toasted bagel from Einsteins but also loving frozen grapes since its been so hot out.... also loving pretzels with this amazing basil &garlic infused grapeseed oil I got in Fredericksburg a few weeks ago. Seriously I hope you can order this stuff online because it's truly a party in my mouth! While the other girls stocked up on bottles of wine this girl was stocking her backseat with oils and the best homemade fudge money can buy! #alreadyplanningatripback

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just this heat! I seriously chug water allllll day, (I am SO not a good water drinker at all and only drink it large quantities when I'm pregnant). I have extreeeeemely low blood pressure again, (I had the same prob with tripp until delivery then it shot up and was super high). Last appt it was 90/60 so they told me to eat more salt which I am happy to do! Hence, the pretzels ;) Anyways, I get severely bad headaches and am really lightheaded most of the day so I am trying to hold out and get this blood pressure raised!  
Happy or Moody? Happy happy happy!!!! 
Doctor Appointments: Not until July 31st, my next ultrasound!
Looking forward to: My parents coming this weekend and next week to visit and getting started on baby girl's nursery! Eeeeek!!!!
