HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! In honor of Mommy day this blog is in Pink! This week was so great. Dave and I wrapped up a long week at work and as of Friday we are on vacation!! We spent the week doggie sitting my parents dog Abby. It's so fun to have her with us, although it's a quick reality that two dogs plus a baby isn't a great idea. Walking the two of them around the block takes wayyyy to much coordination. I also had my 28 week appointment a little early since we will be out of town next week. I had to complete the dreaded glucose test which really wasn't that bad minus the multiple blood draws. I also got to hear Baby Girls heartbeat which was about 150. My stomach is now 30 inches which is 6 more inches than three weeks ago!!
Friday night I headed up to Barrington and got to spend some quality time with my bestie, Britini, Matt and her mom. It was so wonderful to see them and be able to spend some time together. She is truly an inspiration to me, her strength and amazing outlook on life is something I will strive for everyday.

27 Weeks
We celebrated Mother's Day a day early this year since Dave and I are heading to Hilton Head, SC. We started the morning out at a 3D ultrasound with my mom since she hasn't been in town most of my pregnancy I knew she would really enjoy seeing Baby Girl moving around in there. When we got there she had her back to us, and no surprise she was sound asleep, but thanks to a great ultrasound tech we got a ton of wonderful photos of her as well as a video. We also found out that she has A LOT of hair, which would certainly explain why I've had some serious heartburn!! I'm so happy that we went because it's something that we will have forever and truly cherish, we can always look back and when she's older show her how cute she was even when she was growing inside mommy!!
Already photogenic and smiling

Peak a boo
After that amazing experience we headed over to the Southport Corridor and had brunch at Crosby's Kitchen. It was the first time any of us had been there and Southport has really turned into such a family area... made us start to think about moving back to that spot of town in a couple years.

After brunch we walked around the neighborhood and did some light shopping. Dave was such a good sport letting the ladies go in boutique after boutique while he patiently waited outside for us. We then headed back to the condo to check on the doggies and open presents. We got my mom soon to be nana an adorable scottie dish and some scottie stationary. I know the way to her heart is through the doggies :) Dave also surprised me with a wonderful Bliss pregnancy survival kit which was full of great lotions and face wash.
I came across this picture of my mom and I from I think 1984, couldn't help myself including it since it's such a great throwback.
My mom and I also did a bunch of shopping for Baby Girl today which was really fun! We picked out some adorable onezies as well as a cute swim outfit for our trip to the new house in Florida in December. She'll be so beach stylish.
