Baby Bump Week 18 and My Birthday

Here I am at 18 Weeks on my 46th birthday at the end of March. I am currently 25 and half weeks. I am a bit behind on posting because I have been so busy getting ready for baby and I am so tired and out of breath much of the time due to the baby pressing on my lungs but I want you to see the progression of my pregnancy.
For my birthday, we took the kids to the park near the Houston Zoo. I am wearing a top over a dress. I thought it made a totally cute combination.
We walked.

Fed the ducks.


 Rode the train.

I am loving this hat. It was one of my birthday gifts. We picked it up on the way to the park. I think a hat and sunscreen are essential for great skin and holding back the hands of time.


And played at the playground.

Then it was back home for sugar free apple pie from Cracker Barrel instead of cake (They make the best pies) and of course ice cream.
Thank goodness I had Matthew's help blowing out all of those candles. I don't think I could have done it without him.

Homemade gifts are the best.





And yippee! Sew Stylish. I love that magazine.

It was quite a day. Thanks for looking.

  8. So funny that you talked about being tired with your pregnancy and all and yet your little girl was so worn out by the end of the day that she fell asleep at the table...so precious. Looks like you had such a wonderful day...so happy for you. Not much longer and you'll have a totally different kind of exhaustion ;) Hope you have a wonderful week. Fondly, Roberta

  9. You are amazingly beautiful.

    You were up late last night (time of comments)! Are you having trouble sleeping? (I couldn't with my last one, and I was quite a bit younger than you are now.) Please don't overdo and take time to put your feet up a few times a day. Have the little ones wait on you. :)

    Glad you had a lovely birthday.
