21 Week Bumpdate

N

21 Week Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: endive (whatever that is) – about 10.5 inches

 

total weight gain: about 9 pounds

 

gender: BOY! BOY! BOY! So incredibly excited for all the blue (navy) things. & we have a name for the little guy. (insert big smily face here)

 

clothes: I am wearing my shop pink blush maternity jeans, and my preggo leggings. I am in all normal shirts still, I am thinking about about buying a basic white and grey maternity tee though. My bump is getting bigger and I don’t really want to stretch mine out.

 

movement: I feel him all the time. He is constantly on the move!

 

sleep: I’m still waking up at least once or twice a night. And, a few dreams came back this week about him being born early. I’m sure i’m just getting anxious as it gets closer.

 

missing: being skinny and feeling normal.

 

craving: french fries. outback bloomin onion.

 

symptoms: no headaches this week, thank goodness. My tailbone pain lessened over the weekend, so i’m thinking I either need a new work chair or need to fix something about how i’m sitting at work. & we did our third round of shots this week and it was almost normal this time. I’m just glad it doesn’t hurt.

 

kevin is: getting more and more excited its a boy and ready to see our family again for Thanksgiving.

 

looking forward to: thanksgiving and seeing our family again soon! I am just so excited about the Holidays this year, I can’t contain it. I’m ready to put up all our Christmas decorations and break out the movies.

 

best moments: We had a weekend to really relax and get things done last weekend and it was fantastic. I enjoyed family time and just doing nothing.

    Besides finding out that Adilynn was a little lady, I loved picking our her name. It’s like once she had her name, everything started coming together. So so so excited for you and Kevin. Enjoy your weekend and hope sweet girl feels better soon.

    I bought a few basic tees, tanks, and long sleeve maternity shirts from Target but I still wear my pre-pregnancy tees too. I’m thinking I have stretched a lot of them out though. Just gives me an excuse to do some shopping after Rory is here and I have lost some or all of the baby weight lol.

  • 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?
