Bumpdate: Week 27

It's been a good week in our world! The Boy & I spent the first half in Arkansas with his folks and got to visit with some friends along the way (always a nice addition to a trip to AR). Since I had Friday off work, we headed back towards OKC on Thursday afternoon (a road trip made all the better by the discovery of a new little popcorn shop down the street from my office - FYI dill pickle popcorn is a thing that exists and it. is. AMAZING).

My Mom & Dad arrived in OKC early Friday morning on a mission to get some work done on the nursery. We'd painted the room last week, but needed help getting the chair rail installed. Daddy came equipped with tools and the boys had it done in no time! Meanwhile, Momma and I cleaned up the crib (an antique Jenny Lind) and made a few Hobby Lobby "decor runs."

I LOVE the way the room is coming together - we have the big pieces of furniture up and most of the wall decor hung. All that's left now is the little stuff! I'll share a post just on the nursery at a later time, but for those of you curious now, the theme is somewhat library/storybook-esque (kinda hard to explain in just a few words...you'll have to see the post). We've done a lot of the decor and work ourselves, and I love how personalized it feels.

In addition to work, we enjoyed a little downtime to celebrate the Fourth. We grilled hamburgers and corn and topped the meal off with cobbler and homemade peach ice cream.

I loved having my folks in town (Memphis is just too far away!), and I'm much more relaxed now that the nursery feels somewhat finished. Now I can focus on the rest of my far-too-long to do list. September is getting here FAST!

While I process that, here's a bumpdate for you to enjoy!

The measurement this week feels weird - how is a cauliflower bigger than the cucumber from last week? I kinda feel like the folks who decided on these comparisons got tired around week 26 and just started picking things out of a hat...

Whatever the comparison might be, she's definitely getting bigger. And sleeping is getting harder. So many folks warned me about it, but I kept thinking - "Nah, it can't be that bad, right? Just go to sleep!"

Ugh. "Just go to sleep." Riiiiight. *sigh* Oh well, she's totally worth it.

Oh, and did y'all notice? This was the last week of the second trimester! WHAT? How can I be third trimester already? Where did my magic trimester go??? How is this going so fast???

We have our 28 week appointment on Wednesday (then we start going every TWO weeks! Eeep!), and we're headed out for our Babymoon on Friday! That date seemed AGES away - can't believe it's here.

More updates to come - a nursery sneak peek & perhaps a name reveal! Stay tuned!
