Week 34 Update

This is coming a tiny bit late! I'm actually 35 weeks....but I haven't taken a bump picture this week, maybe tomorrow! :)

How far along? 34 weeks & 4 days

Total weight gain: 21-22 lbs.  Probably more with Thanksgiving! :)

Maternity clothes? Still just rocking the belly band! My mother-in-law did get me a couple things from Destination Maternity....I was really hoping to avoid buying any maternity clothes but here we are!

Stretch marks? None that I've seen!

Sleep: I have trouble falling asleep but I'm still sleeping very soundly!

Best moment this week: Wearing my belly band for Thanksgiving....I got to eat as much as I wanted without worry!  Ha!

Miss anything? Not really. 

Movement: Yes, lots!

Food cravings:  Still waffles. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really!

Gender: Baby boy!!!

Labor signs: Some Braxton Hicks but not really.

Symptoms: Heartburn and back pain.

Belly button in or out? In! It's starting to disappear, my husband constantly reminds me of it! Ha!

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, but tired! 

Looking forward to: Starting childbirth classes!

I'm officially feeling HUGE! I haven't gained a ton of weight but I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable.  I'm 35 weeks now, I will do this week's update hopefully on Wednesday!

Also, I had an ADORABLE outfit that I had planned on wearing for Thanksgiving and it decided to be way too warm. :(  My Thanksgiving day outfit ended up being a pair of American Eagle leggings, navy tank top, and a red & navy plaid shirt from Kohl's!
Hopefully I'll be able to wear my new outfit on Tuesday and give y'all details! :)

See you soon!!

XOXO.

Marley Lilly!

Here I am again folks!

I'll have a baby bump update, hopefully Friday!  I've been putting off taking my bump photo so I can also post my Thanksgiving outfit! Killing two birds with one stone folks!

I've been lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of Marley Lilly's blogger review program again this year!  I love Marley Lilly, and often get gifts (both for myself and for family & friends!!) from the site.  This is the best time to write this review, as Black Friday is fast approaching and they ALWAYS have great sales!

Once I was accepted and received my e-mail stating my shipment was on it's way here I decided to look and see what I was getting.  Last year's tassle bracelet made me very nervous...I don't wear a lot of bracelets and tassels are not my favorite BUT I ended up loving it! I was much more open minded this year because of that.

I saw "Long Tassle Necklace" and felt the nerves shoot back up! I wasn't concerned about the tassle part...obviously I loved last year's so I knew I'd probably like this one as well!  It was the "long" part that concerned me.  But once again....I was being dramatic!

I apologize, these aren't my best pictures, but I wanted to get the post up before the holidays so y'all can get the benefits of the Black Friday sales! 

Like I said above, I was worried that because it was so long, I was going to hate it.  And at first...I did!  I put it on and looked down and all I could think was that I looked like a child trying to wear a cowboy's bolo tie. HA!  But once I paired it with something that wasn't just a ratty t-shirt and sweats...it was MUCH better!  One of the best parts about pairing it with my blanket scarf (by the way, I got that for free from Marley Lilly last year for spending $100 on Black Friday...just saying!) was that it didn't seem nearly as long!  I think that it will look great in the spring/summer months with a cute tank, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks with tunics and oversized sweaters (because at 34 weeks pregnant...that's about all I wear!)

My only real complaint about this necklace, and it's going to be a pretty poor complaint considering this was a gift, was that I've recently been much more into gold jewelry, so I'm afraid I won't wear it as often as I would like.  That being said, if it can work with my outfit....I may wear it anyway! :) The necklace is currently on sale for $18.99 and is available in Gold, Silver, Gunmetal, & Brown. You can find it here!

 I figure since I've been all over the Marley Lilly site, I might as well show you a few of my favorite options that are available!

This sweatshirt is probably my favorite thing on the Marley Lilly site right now.... and yes I know it's just a sweatshirt but listen...I dress for comfort these days! It's available in like 13 different colors and it on sale for $39.99 right now! Here is the link to it!

I love this tote!  It may not necessarily be practical but ya know what....I like it! Ha!  It's available in 11 colors and it currently on sale for $34.99.  Here is the link!  Also, if you'd like something smaller, they have adorable clutches! You can find them here!  They are available in 17 colors, and are on sale for $29.99.

There are SO many things that are available on that site!  They also have a boutique shop available for shopping!  Monday Dress has even more to see! :)

There is so much available for you on this site!  Right now, there is so much on sale!  And they've started the Black Friday sale early it seems, the front page of the site shows that for the next 4 days if you spend $100 or more you get a free blanket scarf!  I LOVE these blanket scarves! 

See you soon!!

XOXO.

Best moment this week: My weeks are all blending together now, but hearing the heartbeat at the doctor is my favorite thing!

Miss anything? Not really. 

Movement: Yes.  His favorite two places....my bladder...and my ribcage! I have a short torso so not a lot of room for him to move around. Ha!
