Baby's now the size of a squash!

Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs.




So fall has officially begun here. The temperature has decrease, the colors of the leaves have increase, and I hearing about pumpkin stuff everywhere I go. I have never been much of a pumpkin baked goods fan (except for pumpkin pie), but this year I can't seem to get enough. I love Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte, but definitely can't afford one as much as I would like, so I have settled on putting some pumpkin spice in my decaf coffee in the mornings. It kinda works, but is definitely not the same. I have a really good pumpkin dessert recipe from a friend that I think I'm going to make next weekend.

Tomorrow is another doctor appointment. I doubt this one will be any different from the past few, but it is still really exciting to get to hear Lily's heartbeat. While I love every time I get to hear her heart beat, I'm glad that isn't the only way I know she is doing well anymore. Now I have the wondering kicks to the ribs and the fact that she thinks my bladder is a punching bag as constant reminders. Sometimes I can't wait till she gets a little bigger and runs out of room because I hear the really strong kicks and punches will die down a bit.

I have enjoyed a wonderful long weekend this weekend filled with fun evenings with friends and being completely unproductive during the day. I have enjoyed sitting around the house, snuggling with the dog, and taking a nice long bath today. I think I'm going to continue the unproductive-ness with pjs, a bowl of ice cream, and some tv.
