Happy Birthday to ME!!

So this past week I got to celebrate my 26th birthday. It was on April 15th which was a Thursday and is my day off so I didn't even have to work. They only stinky part was that Wes was working and so was my mom so I pretty much spent the day by myself. It was ok though, it was nice to get some alone time and just think about myself. I started the day by sleeping in and then getting up and stuffing my face with whatever I could find (that happens everyday though and not just on my birthday!). I then lounged around for a while and then got ready for the day. I decided to go and get my nails done because it is always nice to pamper yourself and I hadn't gotten them done in forever. I was great and so relaxing. After I got home I got ready and went to my first prenatal yoga class with my friend Brittany. It was the perfect way to spend the day but it didn't end there. Over the next few days I was taken out to dinner by some friends and then Wes took me out. In my family we celebrate all birthdays on Sunday so my parents made my favorite dinner that night, CRAB! I was so excited and ate every last bite. My mom made me a gluten free angel food cake which was to die for. The next day I got to celebrate with my in laws. All in all it was a great birthday and I got so many great presents but most important I got to spend it with the people I love. This next year is going to be a big change from the last and I can't wait!

28 weeks and the beginning of 3rd trimester

So I finally made it into my third trimester! I can't believe that I only have about 2 1/2 months left. It seems like this pregnancy has gone by pretty fast but on the other hand I am not so excited to get bigger. I know that means getting more uncomfortable and bigger!! I guess I will take it though because I know my little boy is going to be so cute. I can't wait to see him and hold him.
Well, we celebrated entering into my 3rd trimester by going to Carpinteria. I love the beach so I was so excited to go. My parents just bought a tent trailor so it made camping a lot easier. I had a comfortable bed so it wasn't difficult to spend 9 days there. We had such beautiful weather and I was even able to try out my new maternity swimsuit.
These past couple of weeks have been ok. I feel like I am getting bigger everyday but I guess I'm ok with that because that means he is getting bigger as well. His kicks have been getting more intense and have made me flinch a few times. Wes is addicted to feeling him move which I love. I just don't love when he kicks me in the ribs. It is not a pleasant feeling and I could do without that. I cannot wait until he is here and I am so excited to be in the last trimester because that means he will be here soon!!

Wes wanted to show off his baby bump as well!
