Weekending // Happy Mother's Day

Happy Monday a little late friends! It has been a day. Geez. 

Note: I tried to get this post up earlier and blogger would not work for me. Boo!

 Not from the weekend, but I was a headband wearing crazy this week! 

Love this top I picked up from Target last week.. SO COMFY!

Friday was a great day! 

It was even better knowing that I did NOT have to work Saturday.

 Saturday morning was AH-MAZING. Woke up and went straight to a massage. 

It was just what I needed.

After that, I went and picked up my cousin to do a little Mother's Day shopping for her Mom. Us girls had a great time!

While I was out near the closest Babies R Us, I went in to check out some items that I was having a hard time with online. I haven't showed Coach yet but I'm thinking this is the crib for the little miss.. only it will be white.

I have been trying to continue with the baby books and I had to take a break. So I started to review back over Praying Circles and then I will start Praying Circles around the lives of your Children. 

The problem with me reading at night, is I will get thru a couple pages and will just about fall asleep sitting up. 

It has been hard not to highlight this whole book!

Coach and I were talking Saturday night and Baby Hopper started moving.. Kyli ended up being on top of my stomach being the jealous pup she is.. well Baby kicked and she jumped back and just looked all sorts of confused LOL! I have been waiting on that moment! 

Sunday, I got up and went to Mama Jane's for Mother's Day. 

I had a great time and really enjoyed her 60* house. Ha! Felt so good!

 Coach surprised me with my first Mother's Day flowers and card. I woke up to a ton of sweet text messages and facebook messages.. such a sweet surprise from everyone. My Aunt even surprised me with a gift. So sweet!!

And can't leave out the 3 Amigas. I think the heat has really worn them out the past few days.

BUMPDATE // 28 Weeks

3RD TRIMESTER!! Ohhh snap!!!

HOW FAR ALONG // 28 Weeks

BABY SIZE // About the size of an Eggplant

By this week, Baby Hopper weighs about 2 1/4 lbs and measures 14.8 inches from head to heels.
She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With increasingly developed eyesight, she may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb.
She is also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

MY SYMPTOMS // Dang gina I was pretty witchy this week. I felt like I was outside of my body watching myself and had no control over it. I got my feelings hurt a couple times this week and I think that just added to my attitude. Sometime Friday afternoon, I felt like I was getting somewhat back to normal.

So my lips have been peeling like CRAZY and I have never really had this problem.. just occasionally. One of my clients said, It's your hormones. Duh Ashley, why didn't I think of this before? It's super gross to me, so I pick the skin off, which makes my lips bleed, then they scab, and then the process starts all over again.

Friday night, I was so amped up, that when I got home from work I dusted, vacuumed, and moped. Late that night, I started having round ligament pain on my right side and occasionally I think my first Braxton Hicks. My right side spasmed so bad and when the BH came on, my stomach got hard. It was still there the following morning so I messaged my nurse friend and she advised me to drink a lot more water and get off my feet as soon as I got finished with work. I drank so much water Saturday I think my eyes were floating. By Sunday, it had DEFINITELY eased off and yesterday I had no symptoms at all. Surprisingly, I think I was pretty calm and didn't panic like I probably normally do.

There were a few times this week where I think little girl is pressing on my bladder. I will all of a sudden feel like I am going to go in my pants and its rather an uncomfortable, weird feeling.

I am SO ready for another massage. My lower back has been giving me fits and mostly just on my right side.

MATERNITY CLOTHES // Maxi skirts, maternity tops, belly bands, compression tights, maternity shorts and still able to wear a couple pairs of jeans with the help of the belly bands. A few of my tunic tops still work too. So thankful to not have had to buy very much.. although while at Target Sunday I did want to buy another dress but I quickly walked away. 

SLEEP // I don't even want to say anything because I don't want to jinx myself but been sleeping awesome.

MOVEMENT // Definitely! And is getting to be more and more. I've tried to capture her moving on video and of course she stops when my camera finally opens. Little stinker. I LOVE feeling her move. Love it love it love it.

CRAVINGS // Food = BLAH. 

GENDER // Girl!

WHAT I MISS // Sushi. 

WORK OUTS // I ended up having a last minute opening, came home, put on some gym clothes, walked up and down the yard 10 times, lunges, and a circuit of arms. I was so proud of myself!

EMOTIONS // Overwhelmed.. nervous.. scared.. Some days I feel like I'm drowning in everything that needs to get done.
I only had a couple days last week where I could cut back on my hours, two days again this week, and then next week, I'm able to do more.

DREAMS // Oh my goodness, I don't even want to admit this but I dreamt I was trying to strangle someone??!! What is the meaning behind this?? Days later it has still disturbed me and I'm just trying to get it out of my head. Although here I am journaling about it... I hope I don't EVER have another one of those types of dreams.

HUBBY'S THOUGHTS // As of Monday May 4th at 11:46pm, the only thoughts Shane has is "nothing in particular.... except she's growing". And there you have it folks.

3 AMIGAS THOUGHTS // I'm not real sure but if Sox and Mara don't stop rolling in horse poo, they are in for a rude awakening for an outside dog pen!! And I don't even believe in outside dogs!

BEST PREGNANCY MOMENT THIS WEEK //

Monday 27th, Coach and I had a life insurance appt.. Now on to the next step which is in the process of being scheduled...

Exercising for the first time in a long time...

Seeing Kolton off to prom...

Scheduling two more showers on the books there are now 4 in all...

Getting out of ticket on Sunday maybe it was the bump??... 

More organization getting done in the house yesterday and more stuff getting thrown away or put in the yard sale pile... 

Weekending // How is it already May?

This weekend felt super busy but maybe it wasn't all that bad. It was my last prom to work of the year, we saw my little Brother off to his Senior prom, and Sunday I had some errands to run. I'm so thankful I had some energy left because normally by Sunday I am ZONKED.

This was actually Thursday and I'm sooo glad I was able to be home to see. 

Hair and Makeup for JHS prom.. sorry I BLEW UP y'alls Instagram feed Saturday..

Best friends Eryn & Erin.. (girls in previous pics)

My bro's girlfriend Michelle was my last one, my Mom packed up most of my stuff while I was finishing, and I was off to see them all ready to go! Kolton even hung out with us at the salon.. it was so fun and cute seeing him and Michelle together.

I was so jealous! Their dinner was at Utage downtown Athens.. one of the BEST sushi places ever. 

Sunday, I slept in, finally got ready and made my way out to run a few errands. While searching for a card I saw this cupcake card... how flippin' cute is this?? OK maybe its just me.

I stopped by Pet Smart to pick up the dogs some Chuckit Fetch balls and saw this sweetie. I kept hearing this dog whining and whimpering and I finally turned around and he was just staring at me like PEEETTT MEE PLEEASE!!!

He was there for class.. he was a sweetie and very well mannered!

I hadn't been home long and Coach came rollin' in like this...

I think it's safe to say the new season is officially about to start with a quickness.. Uniforms, helmets, and about 5 buckets of new baseballs.

And today the pups are seriously worn out after a short came of fetch yesterday afternoon. They LOVED it. I feel so bad for not getting them something sooner. A friend did remind me tho that its done nothing but rain except for the past few days so there really wouldn't have been a way to go outside with them.

We'll go back out later today!

Sox and Mara aren't allowed in the house right now because, SURPRISE, they rolled in their perfume. Stinks to be them!! Ha!!
