Best moment this week: I turned 28 weeks the day before Kadence's 3rd birthday!! We had some family over for a BBQ celebration! We have loved every minute of the past 3 years with her and can't wait for baby sister to join us!! We also had an ultrasound over at the hospital Tuesday the 12th and got to see your pretty little face (when your hands weren't covering it) daddy said you have my nose but that's not surprising, all of you girls do! :) and your heartbeat was 137. Perfect. Then to top it off, I got a prenatal massage after our appt! Yay!!
Miss Anything? Laying on my stomach, a stiff drink lol, you know!
Movement: ALL the time! Random bony things are starting to poke out more and more!!
Food cravings: Well ever since the husband started on this pretzel and cheese kick, I just can't get enough!! :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Cigarette smoke, gag!!!!!

Maternity clothes? Well I got this lovely dress from my neighbor down the street (I'm positive she looked much cuter in it) but its very light and comfy!
