Week 27 Bumpdate

Week 27Week 27 Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: Rutabaga (whatever that is) – 13.6-14.8 inches

 

total weight gain: probably around 14 or 15 pounds

 

gender: Little Miss B. Clarke

 

maternity clothes: I am getting really sick of wearing pants. I need to go shopping for a few dresses in the next few weeks. I am hoping to find some good options and even thinking about investing in some more dresses for spring just to get out of pants.

 

movement: All day long and when I’m lucky she wakes me up at 4am (kidding – about the lucky part). But really, she keeps waking me up in the middle of the night. I guess its good practice for when she is born though.

 

sleep: Sleeping has been okay this week besides waking up 3-4 times to go to the bathroom and her waking me up from kicking.

 

nursery: Her little space is getting more and more put together. Her rug came in this week and it is looking great in there! I can’t wait to have it all put together.

 

craving: double daves still, we need to find time to go. & doughnuts on the real (same as last week)

 

symptoms: Nothing really this week besides frequent trips to the bathroom

 

kevin is: pretty normal this week. Nothing major going on, just living life as normal. We had the UTSA Baseball Banquet last weekend and Kevin really enjoyed getting to see old teammates and coaches. It was a pretty fun night.

 

looking forward to: seeing our family in two weeks for the baby shower and a few days off this weekend.

 

best moments: I am loving the way her room is coming together and we finally decided on a middle name! Now, we have her whole name and I can’t wait to share it with all of you soon. It feels so good to call her by her name and start thinking about monogram stuff. We also went to one childcare place to tour yesterday afternoon – I wouldn’t call this a “best moment” though. Overall, I wasn’t super impressed and didn’t have the best feeling about it. We will see how I feel after we go tour the next one. I really didn’t have too many expectations going in, I was just kind of disappointed. Hopefully the second one goes a little better and lifts my spirits about it.

    Ahhh childcare visits…I get sad thinking about it. 🙁 Are you working full time after maternity leave? I feel so sad about leaving my baby with someone else all day when I go back to work! Can’t wait to learn her name and see her room!

  • If you’ve never had mochi like this, you’re doing it wrong. 🍓✨#ad 

Bubbies Mochi is the perfect little sweet treat when you want something indulgent without overdoing it. I’m obsessed with the Red, Ripe Strawberry Mochi and the Churro Mochi. One is sweet and creamy with real strawberry flavor, and the other has creamy cinnamon-spiced ice cream wrapped in soft mochi and covered in cinnamon sugar. 🤎

And here’s the trick: let your Bubbies soften for 2–3 minutes before taking a bite. That’s when you get that soft, pillowy mochi texture with the creamy ice cream center. Trust me, it makes all the difference!

Find Bubbies at H-E-B and other retailers near you. 🍨

  • Target did NOT disappoint with the fall finds 🍂👀

The burnt orange tee is giving fall, those viral mules are SO good (I really don’t think they’ll stay in stock long), and those little terracotta pumpkins for $3?! 😍

+ Comment “SHOP” and I’ll send you the links!

  • I went into Aerie to “just look”… and somehow ended up trying on all of THIS. 😂

Comment “SHOP” for the links.

These were the first 5 looks that caught my eye, and honestly… Aerie understood the assignment (part 2 coming soon!). 

From everyday basics to pieces that instantly make you feel a little more put together, there were way too many good finds.

Which look would you actually wear? 👀

I’m wearing XS.

  • Grimaldi’s has been a part of our family memories for years, so getting to experience their Kids Pizza Academy together made this visit extra special. 🍕 

From stretching the dough to choosing our toppings 🧀 and making our own pizzas, it was such a fun way to add another memory to the list.

There’s just something special about the places that become part of your family’s story and @grimaldispizzeria is definitely one of those for us. ❤️

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?
