Friday Fives and 24 Weeks!
Soooo, as I am writing this, I’m stuck in the Orlando airport. My flight is delayed a bajillion hours (two, actually… well, as of now, it could be longer). I’m sleepy. I want to take a shower. And I would like ice cream. Sadly, I am unable to find a place that has a place to sleep, let me take a shower, or provide me with ice cream.
Oh well. This too shall pass. Let’s talk about the GOOD things that happened this week, shall we?
- My sweet friend Diana hosted a “Fair Trade Fashion” party and I was SO PUMPED because I finally got to meet Erin from The Mighty River Project IN PERSON! YAY! She is as amazing as I thought she would be.
- I have been in Florida on business this week and this is what I wore for meetings on Wednesday. It kinda makes me giggle that you can barely see my skirt or my shoes.
- I got a wedding save the date and a college graduation announcement from two former students in the mail this week. It makes my heart sing that students I once had the pleasure of teaching still want to keep in touch with me! I am so proud of the women they have become.
- Since I was in Florida for business, I got to sneak in a quick visit with my daddy! I only get to see him a few times a year so it was a much needed trip.
- I love palm trees. Plain and simple.
How far along: 24 weeks
How big is baby: An ear of corn!
Weight gain: About 20 pounds. I gained a little too much weight too quickly there, but I leveled off the last two weeks and I’m really happy about that.
Sleeping: Meh.
Food cravings: Cereal (Special K Fruit & Yogurt, to be specific)
Food aversions: Japanese Food
Symptoms: Dizziness
Miss Anything?: My regular Diet Cokes 🙂
Doctor’s appointment: Got one in about two weeks.
Wedding Rings: Still on! But, I have a feeling they may not last much longer the hotter it gets.
Movement: So much movement. Baby LOVES to move after I eat and right early in the morning. I like to picture baby having like a dance party in my tummy.
Best moment of the week: Spending time with my daddy. 🙂
What I’m looking forward to: Doing some more registry stuff this weekend.
What I did / Got for baby: Spent time with my daddy – hey, it was for me and so it was also for baby.
What I learned this week: Baby’s skin is beginning to put on fat
Prayer requests: The usual – John and I are spending a lot of time in prayer just asking for God’s wisdom and grace as we prepare to become parents. I’m definitely feeling anxious about a few things and we’re just trusting God in everything – but the more prayers for this, the better! 
AND, of course, for the continued health and growth of the baby.
Love these updates! What a journey… Prayers for mamma, daddy and baby coming your way!
thank you so much, angela!! same to you, girl!

Yay for seeing your dad and time in FL. Isn’t family time great?! We got away to TN last weekend and it was so good to be with family.
I finally had to take off my wedding rings and bought a fake band at Belk (which of course made me think of you).
family time is the BEST – nothing like it. 🙂 oh that is AWESOME – a fake band is a GREAT idea!
i am a huge fan of cereal and already ate a lot of it but have been eating more since pregnant. glad you got to spend time with your dad! and hope you got some ice cream 🙂
