Fun at the Park

After we got finished eating dinner Friday, we took Anna Riley to play at the park for a while.  We have been just playing in the yard most days since we can't stay out long because of the heat so she was more than ready to go!!  We even had the park all to ourselves! 

Notice the one shoe or no shoes in some of the pictures...She went and put on a pair of her crocs by herself so I let her wear them and they would't stay on with all the climbing she was doing so she ended up with no shoes and extremely black feet that we had to scrub when we got home!!

Maternity Pictures

We got my friend Peyton to take some maternity pictures this week.  We wanted to have the pictures but since we weren't planning on buying a lot, we decided not to have them done professionally.  I would rather put that money toward the family and newborn pictures we are having done in October.  I had looked around on Pintrest for some ideas of different shots we could try and Peyton did a fabulous job getting them!  Anna Riley didn't cooperate as well as I would have liked but we still got some really good ones I think!  Thanks Peyton for taking the time to do this for us!!
Here are several of my favorites:  (I tried narrowing down but couldn't decide so excuse the amount of pictures)




This kind of sums it up...I ask her to give me a kiss and she sticks out her tongue!














33 weeks

Symptoms:
I had a bad cold this week and it really got me down.  A cold usually doesn't make me feel that bad but this week, I just felt rough!  I had absolutely no energy and even started feeling nauseous again.  I made the mistake of taking sudafed one night and I honestly think it made me feel worst!  I am feeling a little better now though but I handed it off to Anna Riley!  :(
Other than being sick...I am just getting BIG!! haha  I am having a hard time bending over and putting on my pants! She is always up so high that I have a hard time breathing.

Weight Gain: 25

Maternity Clothes:  I am slowly running out of clothes that look appropriate!  When at home, I wear pjs most of the time!  Most all of my maternity clothes from last time are winter with the exception of a few shirts and dresses.  I have bought a few things but I am really trying not to buy anymore maternity but even my tanks are not covering the belly!  I am SO ready to buy and wear regular clothes!!

Cravings: Nothing really...I haven't had as big of an appetite this week probably from being sick.

Movement: Yes and it is beginning to get painful!  I feel like she is just jabbing me and when its down low, it really hurts.  I also feel her bottom all the time on my left side.  It is constantly hard there and my stomach is often lopsided. 

Sleep: Sleep is ok.  I get up 3-4 times a night to use the bathroom.  I don't really have a problem getting comfortable at the moment but I do toss and turn a lot because my back will start hurting.  I feel like I am sleeping better than I did at this point last time but I also had carpal tunnel last time and I haven

A new favorite spot

This is Anna Riley's new favorite place to get to watch her Mickey mouse clubhouse after her bath...
She looks so little in that big bed!

Pool days are coming to an end...

...And I can't say I am sad about it!  As much as I love all things summer, I am always SO ready for fall by this point especially when the temperature is in the 100's everyday!!  Even though I having been feeling pretty rough this week (cold/sinus problems), Anna Riley was in desperate need to get out of the house so we met the Thomas girls at the Rec pool for a couple of hours.

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish


While in Atlanta, we visted the Georgia Aquarium. I always enjoyed taking my students to the Chattanooga aquarium but we had never been to the one in Atlanta. I knew Anna Riley would love it because she is really into any animals right now. She was constatnly pointing and trying to touch the fish and making her fish face to them.
