I Should Be Folding Laundry

I apologize for taking so long to write this post! So we did have a small party on his actual birthday but these are photos from the big family party! We started the party with Reuben sandwiches and chicken soup for dinner. Lincoln loved both! The Birthday Boy! Grandma Duckie! Uncle Cameron Papa! Uncle Eric Lincoln wasn't sure what to make of his smash cake, so I actually had to tear into it at first. Then he got some confidence and jumped right into eating it!  Next, we cleaned up Lincoln and started on presents! Auntie Madison & Cousin Clay Thanks Madison for planning the party and thanks to all who came! It was a blast! Thanks for reading! Mackenzie

I'd like to just apologize for my lack of a pregnancy post last week. I totally spaced it until Wednesday. Anyways, back to this weeks post! How Far Along? 27 weeks Weight Gain? 13 pounds Maternity Clothes? I found some super cute maternity shorts that actually go to my knees!  Stretch Marks? I've found some new ones just behind my knees. I keep thinking I've run out of places to get stretch marks but new ones keep showing up.  Best Moment This Week? I actually had two relating moments this week that I'll be illustrating in the post following this one. Movement? He has been super active this last week. I think he actually was moving nonstop for about an hour and a half yesterday, its so exciting! Food Cravings? Still chocolate peanut butter stuff, mostly Haagen-Dazs ice cream.  Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Nothing really comes to mind. Gender? Boy Labor Signs? I'm still rockin' the Braxton Hicks. I'm really hoping that becaus...

How Far Along? 25 weeks Weight Gain? 11 pounds Maternity Clothes? I'm still hating my maternity pants and some of my shirts are already too small.  I've definitely gotten bigger quicker this time around.  Stretch Marks? No more  have shown up this week. Sleep? My dreams have been strange this week, either stressful or confusing. Best Moment This Week? Lincoln woke up to what I assumed was a night terror tonight. I went in to calm him down by picking him up, giving him his puppy stuffed animal and wrapping him in a blanket. Once the blanket was on him, he leaned his little head down and snuggled with me for about 45 minutes straight. The last time he really snuggled with me was about four months ago so I soaked every last moment in while he laid there with his little hands wrapped around my neck. Its moments like that that make all the hard times totally worth it. Movement? The little nubs are becoming more and more distinct and Josh can feel almost...

How Far Along? 24 weeks Weight Gain? 11 pounds Maternity Clothes? I've been hating my maternity jeans with a passion this week. Bring on the PJ pants! Stretch Marks? The ones on my tummy from last time are going purple again and I'm seeing more on my calves... Sleep? I've been having stressful dreams a lot this week. Maybe its because most of my dreams where I deliver prematurely has been when I was halfway through my 24th week. Best Moment This Week? My little Lincoln learning to give kisses! (He actually opens his mouth and licks your cheek. But hey, he's trying!) Movement? I've finally been able to feel little nubs instead of just a kick. Its getting so exciting! Its the one part of my last pregnancy I missed! Food Cravings? Chocolate (who's surprised?) and little smokies. Those little sausages have been my midnight snack all week... super healthy, I know... Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Actually, nothing! I had both bacon and marin...
