How Far Along: Far enough to know the GENDER!!
Total Weight Gain: Still holding strong to the four pound mark.
Maternity Clothes: I've decided to embrace the trendy flowy shirts! Loving them - they don't look like I'm wearing a tent, but they also allow me to breathe freely.
Gender:
It's official:
COOPER KING - Coming soon!
(Middle Name TBD)
Movement: Still nothing...
Sleep: Still normal...
What I Miss: Nothing! Life is really, really good!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Finally getting to deck out a nursery... or at least getting to make a game plan! I CAN'T WAIT!
Cravings: This week we had quite a bit of breakfast foods left over from the Gender Reveal Brunch, so I've been killing some banana nut bread with cream cheese filling! YUM!
Aversions: Nothing in particular.
Other Crazy Symptoms: Odd pain shooting in my side. It feels like a bad cramp that hits specifically in one spot, over and over and over... especially if I sit on the love seats in our living room. Random, I know, but literally if I sit on the love seat for more than 5 minutes it starts. It's on my left side right at the tip of my bottom rib, thankfully prenatal yoga has given me one stretch that really helps!
Daddy Update: Daddy is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about our new little mister. He's already planning hunting/fishing trips and t-ball team names - it's the cutest thing ever. He's going to be the very best daddy in the whole world, I am sure of it!
Best Moment of the Week: Finding out the gender with our sweet family! I'll blog all the details of our Gender Reveal Bunch, but I can't miss the chance to brag on our amazing families. We had over 30 people come to our house for brunch and the big gender reveal. We were truly overwhelmed - so many changed their Saturday afternoon plans, drove 2.5 hours and came to celebrate with us! It is so incredibly humbling to know so many people already love and adore our son. Cooper King is one blessed little boy!
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.
So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.
1 Samuel 1:27-28
