Happy Monday and almost Spring, lovelies! I can hardly believe how quickly these months are flying by already this year! I am currently chugging my mug of lukewarm coffee as I had a bit of slow start to the day. Hope you all are faring better than I am so far and had a wonderful weekend, too! I do have my hair done and face on, so we’re headed in the right direction! Without further ado, here’s my weekly bumpdate + wknd recap + wkly link up!
BUMPDATE
Hello, Third Trimester! WOOF. This third baby is giving my aging my body a run for my money. Haha! All of my usual end of pregnancy symptoms have hit a lot faster this time. Heartburn is a regular companion and I’m having issues breathing and being comfortable in general. At the end of the day though, I’m grateful that I’m eating (TOO) well and have energy to keep up with my two little boys. Especially since insomnia is my BFF at night and I’m not getting much sleep these days.
I felt the baby’s hiccups for a good half hour while laying awake in bed this morning. Even though it’s my third time, there are still those moments that take my breath away. No matter the pain and discomfort, I am still amazed at the human body and its ability to create and grow life. I don’t remember it all the time, but I am so grateful to be able to experience it all.
I’ve never done a formal maternity shoot with either of my previous pregnancies, so I booked one for this one! I’m so excited!! I hope they turn out well and help me to remember and cherish this phase of my life.
WKND RECAP
I know it’s technically the first day of Spring, but in good ole’ Michigan, we had snow over the weekend. It’s all gone already, but the boys had a blast “shoveling” and playing outside. Our usual weekend activities were enjoyed by all and yesterday, we spent some quality time at my BFF’s for a fun playdate! The boys passed out on the car ride home; a sign of a good weekend’s end.
Hope you all had a great weekend with your littles and loved ones! Can’t wait to link up and read your posts this week!

Featured Blogger from Link Up #27: This week’s blog link up feature is Linda and her post, Parenting Tips to Help a Child with a Broken Bone. While I hope that we will not have to deal with this any time soon (if ever!), raising three rambunctious little boys probably ups my odds of dealing with a broken bone. I love her real account of helping her babe through the pain and healing of a broken bone. Be sure to check out her post and blog for more great tips!

I can’t wait to see your maternity pictures! And, I totally giggled when you said “Woof”. Haha
Look at that bump! Im so excited to see your maternity photos 🙂 I’ve also scheduled “professional” ones 😀
You look amazing dear !
You have the cutest bump EVER! I am excited to hear/see how the maternity shoot goes! xo
I loved it when my babies had the hiccups. It usually happened at LEAST once a day! 🙂
Third trimester. WOOF. hahahaha! So good
I’m up for forever at night too because insomnia! You look so great though! ❤
Looks like you had a fun week! (And you’re the cutest pregnant person I’ve ever seen!)
You look amazing!
I can’t wait to see the pictures from your upcoming maternity shoot. I’m sure you will be absolutely radiant as always! 🙂
Looking good for your 3rd in the third trimester! My second gave me an outie I was so huge! Thanks for link-up opportunity, too!
Your bump is the cutest! I can’t believe all the snow you’re getting!!
Heartburn is rearing it’s ugly head over here, too! UGH!!
You look amazing! 28 weeks, getting close! I too, never had the chance to do a maternity shoot, instead we paid for those 4d ultrasounds for each. I can’t wait to see how yours come out!
Can’t believe you are in your third trimester already. It kinda feels like you recently just shared the news. Which means baby will be here before we know it. You look amazing and your bump is still tiny believe it or not! So I’m glad you went on and planned a maternity shoot, can’t wait to see it!
You look so good girl! I had heartburn SO BAD with my daughter, it was by far the worst symptom for me.
I can’t wait to see your maternity shoot! In retrospect I wish I’d done at least one! You are glowing!
