Belly Update!

23 weeks 3 days

Well, I haven't posted in over a week, so I figured I would give y'all an updated picture and just ramble on about what's going on at the McFarlin household! ;)

Our weekend was nice! Friday we were so pooped though from the week that we called it a night pretty darn early. Saturday, a coworker of James' brought by a HUGE bag of baby clothes and 2 or 3 bags of diapers they never used. There were quite a few cute clothes in there and I have my favorites separated out! I also went and did a little shopping for myself at Motherhood Maternity because I really needed something light-weight to wear to my bosses crawfish boil later that afternoon. We had been outside working in the lawn and it was HOT! out there. Anyway, I got a cute pair of light weight, thin khaki-colored capri pants, two shirts, and a pack of size Medium underwear (LOL! I hated to have to go up in a size, but man am I SOOO happy that I did and their cute too!). The crawfish boil was fun and we got stuffed on some MUDBUGS!! Sunday, James and I had a late lunch at Victor's Mexican Resturaunt and then headed off to Walmart to pick up a few things. Knowing me, I went straight to the baby section first. They had this really cute, handsome sleevless jersey & short UT Longhorn outfit that I just HAD to buy for next summer. I want him to get some use out of it so I bought it for 12 months. It's super cute!

Anyway, now its Monday, and its back to work! Oh, I saw Santa Claus during my lunch break today at Whataburger! No joke! And, I called him Santa (from inside my car of course, sitting in the drive-thru) before looking at his truck that read www.realsantajim.com and let me tell you, he was an awesome looking Santa!!!!

Well, I'd better get some work done! My next doctor's appointment is this Friday for my 24 week checkup, so I will report back then!

Have a GREAT week!!!

The first day, Friday, of our 3-day Easter weekend was absolutely beautiful, therefore, I decided to lay out in the backyard for awhile and see if I could catch some color! Well, after only laying there for 30 to 45 minutes I come to find out that I am a lobster! I got out of the shower and was a bit pinker than I was before getting in, then a few hours later at a friends house discovered the lobsterness of my skin! I felt like a horrible mother, my thoughts, "I FRIED MY CHILD!" Anywho, its feeling better as of today, its not the worst burn I've had, but I was not expecting after only 45 minutes of blissful relaxtion that I would turn into a large pregnant tomato!

Friday was also my 20 week checkup with the doctor, but I'll post a different blog for that tomorrow.

Saturday, I cleaned. I am sooooo proud of myself. I actually cleaned, like thoroughly! I'm not 100% done, but it feels sooo good to have what I did do completed. Maybe I can keep up with it for awhile, LOL! We also decided to try out Spring Creek for the first time. The hot, fresh bread there is delicious!!!

Easter Sunday, we spent at James' families house eating, hunting eggs, and the men played horseshoes. James and I took a walk to the park and I got to swing on the swingset! Soooo much fun to be a kid!

Anyway, it's 5 o'clock and my car is calling my name to get it home! ;) I hope everyone had a great weekend and had tons of fun with their loved ones!

'Til next time!
