    waiting in the OB office cause my doctor had to go waiting in the OB office cause my doctor had to go run & catch a baby. 🥰 

already at biweekly appointments. where has the time gone? full transparency.. chances are I won’t prep a single thing until I’m 4cm dilated 😆 we’ve become a bit too lax haha. As long as we have the Owlet, DockATot, and “go-time” plans, this guy can wear all his brothers’ hand-me-downs and we’ll figure everything else out along the way. ♥️🤱🏻

    Happy Friday + hello third trimester. 👋🏼 tha Happy Friday + hello third trimester. 👋🏼 that came quick! I’ll be 28 weeks this weekend and we’ll get to see bub on Monday. ♥️ 

I always look forward to my appointments. Mostly to check in on baby - but also, I love to see all the OBs. 😆 I guess having 4 kids in 5 years with the same doctors (and nurses) will make them feel like friends. 

I’m officially at that point where I’m exhausted by the end of the day and if I don’t relax, Braxton Hicks start. Warm baths and lots of water have been game changers this time around. 

I think this is the first pregnancy (..actually, the first time ever 😅) that I’ve been properly hydrated. Swipe right to see the water bottle I’ve been finishing everyday for the last month 💦 I have noticed a huge difference in my energy level and honestly feel so much better - no more mid-afternoon slump! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend. 💫 #28weekspregnant #inspirepregnancy #ltkbump

    the boys got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus today! the boys got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus today! 🎅🏻 Drake is asking for the game There’s a Yeti in My Spaghetti (gonna enjoy the $10 “main gift” request while it lasts 😆) and Ford is asking for Mack from the movie Cars. Shay LOVES puppies, so he may be getting something special from Santa (1000% will not be a real dog. We already have 3 animals in the house). 👦🏻👦🏼👶🏻

Our Santa visit looked different this year but @waterlemonkids did a great job with this Covid-friendly option. 👍🏼
    Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Hope Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Hope you all have a great day celebrating with your people. 🥰
