Samson and I both had appointments with the doctor yesterday. Dr. Collins said the little one is a "happy baby" since her heart rate was 161 (same as last time), so that's good! Samson, on the other hand, got in trouble for gaining 8 pounds in the last year - oops! But that doesn't sound so bad considering I gained 9 this month! Yikes, I'm in trouble with myself! I was really wanting to keep it at the previous pace of 1 pound per week.
I was hoping to take some pictures at Jessica's wedding this weekend, but we forgot the camera and didn't think to take any on our phones, so I let Whitney take one of me at work on Tuesday. This is 23 weeks, 4 days. I pretty much feel huge and am a little nervous about the weeks to come!
I've also been bummed lately because I can't make all of the cute (and so expensive) boutique dresses I've seen lately. I love them, but just can't stomach the price. So, I'm thinking about taking some sewing lessons. My mother may remember the last time I tried to learn to sew. It lasted about 30 minutes and wasn't pretty. Hopefully, this time will yield better results. I want to be able to to make things like these (all courtesy of some amazing and talented etsy sellers):
