Fake Camping

Kelsey and I both love to camp but with being in school the first two summers we were married, we never seemed to make it out camping anywhere. So this summer we decided we were doing it and going camping for sure. Let's face it though, unless your going camping in a trailer, it's not the smartest idea to go tent camping before July in case of rain. So we had our plans set for August and were so excited. Then when we found out I was pregnant I thought I might not want to go almost 8 months pregnant so we decided to cancel. Anyways last night we had our own little camp out in our living room. It was so much fun even though we didn't go anywhere!

Kirby and Bella were both a little unsure of the tent and it took is half the night just to get them to come inside! But once they did, they loved it and seemed a little mad when we put it away. We did all your normal camping stuff, except a fire haha. We enjoyed the night and it was nice to have a night unplugged from electronics.

We ended the night with some really yummy s'mores ice cream. We were planning to sleepi in the  tent but we got "rained out" aka I was uncomfortable so we just went to bed haha. I can't wait to go real camping next summer with our pups and sweet baby boy! We also enjoyed our fake camping so much that it might have to become a tradition! What are some of your favorite date nights?

Pregnancy Cravings

Since I have been so so bad about blogging about my pregnancy... Well let's face it, I have been a terrible blogger these days! Anyways I thought I would share my very favorite foods right now. These things are all things I can't go a day without. They are what I like to call my pregnancy staples.

Pop chips are oh so yummy! I have to serve these to myself in a bowl or I swear I would gobble a whole bag in one sitting. I eat these every night as my "night time snack" and it gives me something to look forward to after a usually tiring day. I get the bigger BBQ bag at Costco and have had to shop around to find the other flavors. I have even been to their website and contemplated buying all the flavors I can't find in stores.. Yes I'm that obsessed. Hey half the fat means twice the serving right?!? 😊

Otter pops! Am I the only adult who still eats 5 of these a day? I can't say this is only a pregnancy craving but it has definitely gotten worse since being pregnant. These are nice to help cool me off a bit when I get really hot and I just love the flavored ice.  I seriously can never get enough of these. Luckily they are just flavored ice

Raspberries are a must have around here. They are so juicy and so good. I get two cartons of these juicy bad boys at Costco a week and they are normally gone within two or three days of purchasing these. I am proud they are one of my cravings... The only healthy thing... Whoops

Last but definitely not least, potatoes. These can be cooked any way, mashed, fried, baked... You name it... I'm dying to have it. I seriously find a way to incorporate them into dinner almost every night. Poor Kelsey will probably hate potatoes by the time the baby is born but I just can't help it! 

I have found that this boy mostly makes me crave starchy food which honestly done at surprise me because I have always been that way. But now even more than ever, put a bag of chips or a cookie in front of me and I'm going for the chips all the way! Pregnancy has really honesty been good to me so far! 

HALFWAY!!!

I can say as of today that I made it to the halfway point. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am to say those words. I was starting to think that I might never say them.

How far along? 20 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss? 8 pounds. I have been working really hard to keep it that way!

Maternity clothes? Yes! I'm huge already haha
Stretch marks? None so far woo 

Sleep? Not too bad actually. I got a body pillow from an awesome sister and it helps a lot! I have been really hot and Kelsey pulled out our huge fan which has been helping me sleep too! 
Best moment this week? Seeing our little guy in our ultrasound appointment!
Miss Anything? Not being able to sleep on my back!
Movement? Yes! He is sitting really low so my bladder feels his movements frequently:) 
Food cravings? Junk food or fried good of any kind.. Thank goodness for free days 

Have you started to show yet? Yes I'm huge haha. People are already asking when I'm due and when I tell them they are like ohhhh meaning they think I'm huge😊
Gender? Boy and we are are so so so excited about it 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy! And getting excited that our little guy will be here before we know it 

Looking forward to? Sewing things for him and working on the nursery. Also for Kelsey to be able to feel him kick for the first time which will hopefully be happening soon
