Weeks 26, 27 and much more!

Week 26 brings us to double digits, my SLC baby shower and our first massive snow storm!

Less than 100 days to go!

My wonderful friends here in SLC were so nice and threw me a baby shower!  So fun!  Had some friends, co-workers and neighbors brave the storm for a brunch get together.  Mayhem was once again spoiled beyond belief.  We're so lucky to have such great people in our lives. 





Cassie came from Ft. Collins, CO for the shower!

November snow storm.  I think we ended up with almost 2 feet!



Week 27 was also really busy!  I finally kicked my cold and felt like a normal human again which was awesome.  Andy was down in St. George all week for work so I had plenty of time to organize and craft.  I was off on Monday for Veteran's Day and I spent it in the baby room unpacking boxes, cutting those annoying plastic connector things off clothes, doing inventory and baby laundry so I didn't lost my mind.  I know we still have 3 months left but the room was in disarray and I really needed to get an idea of what we had and what we need.  So I feel much better about life now :)  You get a little glimpse of the organization in the week 27 photo. 

So excited to be starting the 3rd trimester!

I also made some burp cloths while Andy was down in St. George.  They are made with a cloth diaper and cute flannel.  Hope they work!

I hosted the girls for book club on Friday which was really fun as usual.  We all work full time and work in a scientific field so the only requirement is that we read books that have been made into movies, since we are all busy, and drink wine.  Lots of pharmacists, Dr's, PA's, optometrists, etc.  Most everyone is a transplant to Utah, we're all around 30 and everyone is just starting to have kids, so it's a great group and we really enjoy getting together every 6-8 weeks.

 

Saturday we went to our all day baby class...I felt it was something we should do.  It was 9-5.  LONG day.  It was ok, but I think if I could go back in time I would skip it.  It just made me feel anxious, nervous and panicky.  I think if we weren't already pregnant we would seriously be reconsidering having children! :)

 

We got rain this weekend which washed away all our snow from last week which is nice.  Rain in the valley equals snow in the mountains so Andy went out and skied for the first time.  He also plays hockey on Sunday's so along with Sunday football we have a big sports day. 

 

Really looking forward to the short week and Thanksgiving holiday!  I have my 28 week appointment tomorrow thanks to the Thursday holiday so I'm excited to hear Baby May's heartbeat and see where I am for weight!  Mayhem must have shifted a little lower and got some more room b/c I haven't had heartburn all week!  Still feeling and sleeping great.  I feel completely like myself and I'm pretty used to the constant tummy movement that I sometimes forget I'm preggers until I have to put on those dreaded maternity jeans or bend over to put socks on :)  The new feeling of the week is the alien flip flops.  He's still kicking but now I can feel and see him rolling around which is a weird sensation. 

 

Hope everyone is well!

Till next week!

Love,

Lexi and Andy
