Hello third trimester!

28 weeks today! Cut and pasted from Baby Center- 

 

How your baby's growing:

 

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Turkey Day 2011

I had been looking forward to some yummy food and seeing Austin 's family for weeks. We headed to Tyler on Wednesday. We had a great time relaxing, hanging out with his sister and his parents and catching up. We went to the country club yesterday to have Thanksgiving lunch. The spread was amazing, I have never seen so much yummy food in one place. I ate so much, I had difficulty breathing until last night around 7 ( we ate at 1) ! Lesson learned but it was totally worth it. It was a great time and we were sad to leave last night. His parents live on a beautiful pecan orchard in Tyler. We took some pictures for fun, here they are: 

So much to be thankful for!

Feeling very blessed,

Skylar

Here it is:

Happy Birthday Austin!

Happy Birthday to the most amazing husband and soon to be father. I can't wait for our daughter to see how wonderful you are!

Friday was Austin's actual birthday. It is actually kind of cool, my birthday is 9-9 and his is 11-11. We just ordered in his favorite pizza on Friday night, we were both exhausted from a long and busy week. Last night we ventured out and tried a new place. It is called The Cedars Social. It is a cute little restaurant with it's own definite style. We just ordered a bunch of different stuff and shared. We both highly recommended their mac and cheese, it was delicious. It was a great night. I hope he enjoyed it as much as I did!

With Love, Skylar

25 weeks

Time is flying by, I can't believe it is already November and I only have 15 weeks left!  I have started getting in a semi-serious mode with the nursery planning. We have the glider ordered and scheduled for delivery at the end of the month, dresser in the room and the crib set up and ready to go (thanks to my wonderful hubby). What is left: rug, bookshelf, paint on the walls, curtains, organize the closet and the nursery accessories. I feel like we have accomplished a lot but I would like to stick with my original goal of having it 100% completed by January 1st. We will see. I went to the doctor last Wednesday the 2nd, everything was good. She gave me the lovely glucose drink to consume before my next appointment on the 30th. I have heard how yummy it is so I am looking forward to it (not!).

Recent cravings include: Sprinkles cupcakes, cinnamon-raisin bread, Thanksgiving food (all of it), sherbet, sweet tarts, pizza (big surprise), Chinese stir fry and pie (any kind).

Bump pics- I will take one as soon as Austin gets home from work today!
