Today they actually had to do a last minute ultrasound because they were unable to find his head when checking my cervix. He however is head down thankfully and they double- checked his gender and he is 100% a boy. I have a future of only superheros, legos, and other boy stuff ahead of me.

Sleep: Getting difficult. It's almost impossible to get comfortable now plus lately Tristan has been deciding to not want to go to bed on time... /sigh.

Food cravings: Still the same.

Movement? A lot.

What I miss? being able to sleep good
Best moment this week: Tristan making a sand bottle (and not making a mess) and doing handprint painting downtown and watching him get excited in the Halloween section of a store because he saw spiders.

Next Appointment: September 17th

Pictures from last week:



Blurry but I almost caught him kissing my belly on camera.





Kerri Mullis Events

So normally I don't do posts sponsoring businesses or products but today I received a package from my friend from elementary school whom I haven't seen since 5th- 6th grade so I thought I'd do a post about her business :).

She had posted recently that she had tons of shirts leftover that she was giving away for free so I had of course asked for one and today I received this :). She sent me not only the shirt but body wash, a baby outfit for little man #2, and a book. Anywho... on to talking about Kerri Mullis Events. 

Kerri Mullis Events (the name may be changed soon) is a small wedding and event planning business in North Carolina. Kerri, the founder, is a mom to 3 kids and currently runs the business herself. I have actually never used her business because I live too far away but if you go to her website here, you can find more information on her prices, what events she plans, pictures from other events, etc. You can also check out her facebook page here. She's an amazing person and really talented at what she does so please check her out and let her know I sent you! 


Have a great day :)
