This past weekend was super fun and eventful, kicking off the first day of summer with a BBQ for Aaron's work friends. Everything was super easy and fun and it was nice to have some time to just relax together.
Some fun things I did for the BBQ:
 |
| chalkboard sign in backyard- can do this with any old picture frame & chalkboard paint. |
 |
| All-American fruit kabobs--perfect for 4th of July parties! |
 |
| Made this sign last minute out of a cardboard box. Just cut out the triangles, spray painted them with chalkboard paint and wrote on them with chalk (I used twine for the banner)! I thought it was cute for a backyard BBQ. |
 | |
| I am addicted to mason jars, so the day of the party I got out a ton of them and went to the end of our driveway and picked a bunch of overgrown flowers (okay, weeds) to put in the jars. Since we don't have that many blooms on our property, I thought it was the perfect addition to brighten up the house and yard. |
Getting to spend some time with Elle was nice too, even if we were surrounded by other people playing beer pong together, I always enjoy time with my sister!

As if the week couldn't get any better--celebrating being 6 months pregnant!
Last week's pregnancy update:
Week: 23
Weight gain: 12 pounds
Symptoms: At the end of this week I
really started to notice my feet hurting (do I need new shoes??) if I’m on them
all day. Also my legs get sore if I’m walking around too much as well.
Changes: My body is definitely feeling
and looking more and more pregnant each week! They say after 20 weeks baby
starts growing at a more rapid pace than ever and starts putting on fat. I definitely
felt the difference with my body this week.
Clothes:
Running pants and tanks. Embracing the bump rather than covering it up.
Sleep:
Can’t get enough of it.
Missing:
A cold beer on a Friday night (& a pair of jeans that fit just right)
Cravings:
What am I NOT craving? Tuna, baked potatoes, grapefruit, GRILLED
ARTICHOKES, crème brulee (it’s beginning to become a problem), and iced decaf
mochas! Anybody have weird pregnancy cravings?
Best moment this week: Having a BBQ on Saturday for Aaron’s work
friends and getting to see my sister and meet her boyfriend! Did I mention I
even got to play beer pong?! Obviously no drinking on my part (hey pregnant
women can have fun too!)
Looking forward to: Aaron’s mom coming out here this Saturday!!!!!
I am so excited to see her and have someone play with my hair, and have girl
talk with for a week
With Bryce I wanted mustard on everything and chili cheese burritos from Taco Bell. With Logan I ate a brownie with peanut butter on it. But that's why I gained 45 pounds with Lo and 55 with Bryce.
ReplyDeleteOmg Sara I have had so many desserts lately it's not even funny-like creme brulee 4 nights a weeks sometimes! I had no idea you gained so much weight with the boys, I can't even tell.
