Good morning to you! I hope you had a great weekend! We spent a lot of time outside which is exactly where I prefer to be lately. I can definitely feel the summer heat coming but right now it’s pleasantly warm without feeling stifling. I cannot get enough of the gorgeous spring weather in Charlotte!
Here are a few highlights from our weekend:
- Lake Time
Saturday was all about time on the boat! Ryan and I headed out on the water around lunchtime, cruised all over the place and even stopped by to say hi to Brittany and her husband David for a little while which was fun! We ended up tossing over the anchor in a quiet little cove in the late afternoon and enjoyed relaxing in the sun until Sadie let us know that two feathery friends were encroaching on our space and posing a serious threat…
These ducks were fearless! Ryan and I laughed when they seemed to refuse to fly away and preferred swimming super-fast away from Sadie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sadie swim so quickly in the lake as she chased the taunting duo! She had a blast zig-zagging around chasing the ducks until we called her back for a breather.
- Pitch Perfect 2
If you stopped by the blog on Friday, then you know this one was going to happen this weekend! I had high hopes for Pitch Perfect 2 since I loved the original so much and I’m happy to say I thought it was great! If you’re a fan of Pitch Perfect, I think you’ll love this one as well. Ryan and I both agreed that it was hilarious and very entertaining the whole way through. I preferred the music in the original movie, but still think the sequel is worth seeing. And Rebel Wilson absolutely cracked me up the whole time. She is hysterical!
- Hibachi Dinner
This may sound ridiculous, but early last week, as Ryan and I were about to go to sleep, I rolled over and told him I was craving a good hibachi dinner. At 10:30 p.m. What can I say? It sounded delicious! Well, we satisfied my hibachi cravings by going out for the “Early Bird Special” yesterday and each ordered the steak and shrimp combo. I was in fried rice and noodle heaven. All of my hibachi-loving dreams came true! It was delicious.
- The Beginning of My Third Trimester
Over the weekend I officially entered my third trimester. I honestly cannot believe we’re in the homestretch and that we’ll get to meet our baby boy so soon. What!? I know enough not to try to predict when he will come, but if we go by our due date, we’ll have a little baby boy in our arms in 12 weeks. I have a feeling these next three months will absolutely fly by and in the meantime I’m going to try my best to continue to give our little one a good place to hang out! I am getting more and more excited with each day that passes and cannot wait for my 28-week appointment tomorrow. I want to hear that heartbeat!

So glad to hear PP2 is good!! Btw, I used to work on movie sets, and I have friends who still do work in movies, and a lot of song choice has to do with how expensive the license is – I know one of the songs picked for a specific movie was bypassed because the artist wanted 50k (yes, $50,000) for the use. It’s a back and forth haggle between the producers and the artists, but there’s usually an acceptable range for songs that are x amount popular and are x amount current/old. If the asking price is outside that average artist range, it gets skipped in favor of something else. They may have wanted a favorite song of yours that had to be bypassed for $$$ reasons!
My weekend highlight was a huge family dinner (20 people) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of when my dad met and started dating my mom. (She passed away 7 years ago, but my dad still wanted to mark the occasion -awwww). And my dad had a biopsy earlier in the week (that went rogue and took longer than anticipated – scary), but he was out of the hospital in time for this long-planned dinner! Yay! It was happy.
I love following your pregnancy-adventure 🙂 I’m so looking forward to “see” your little baby boy!
My highlight of the weekend was meeting my godchild for the very first time. She’s 8 weeks old and so so sweet <3
Greeting from Germany!
My husband and I took a three day weekend and went to Key West to celebrate our third wedding anniversary (which is tomorrow!). We had a blast and did not want to come back home.
My husband and I felt the same way about Pitch Perfect 2. I definitely laughed a lot!
I just wanted to say you look absolutely gorgeous in your third trimester photo! You’re glowing 🙂
Ahhh, I LOVE Sadie’s “pink” collar! I need to find one for Chloe. 🙂
Ah Sadie must have been so happy to go swimming! We have a 4 month old puppy and we can’t wait to take her to the lake 😀
I thought PP2 was hilarious!! Also where is your kimono/cardigan from? Love it!
Thanks!! It’s Pink Blush Maternity and I got it on sale through Zulily. 🙂
The 3rd trimester is the longest and shortest of them all, haha! It felt like forever to me (especially since I was 10 days late), but once Wyatt was born I felt like it all went by so quickly.
I love the top you’re wearing in your 3rd trimester photo, so cute!! I walked in my college graduation this weekend and got to see all my family, so that was definitely a pretty big highlight!! 🙂
Congratulations!!
How in the WORLD do you get Sadie to come back when you call her?! My dog will listen in the house, but once we are in a different environment.. I’m invisible. Add in a furry friend? No way. Haha!
My third trimester flew by until the day after the due date. He will be here before you know it! My advice is to keep exercising, even if it’s just a walk. I succumbed to laziness the last 5-6 weeks and swelled a lot and was really uncomfortable.
Chocolate fest in my little town of long grove…delicious sweet treats all around
My dad saw my baby bump the first time this weekend. It was hilarious! His reaction? “weird” haha!
It wasn’t technically the weekend but I graduated law school on Monday night! We had a big barbecue in the park on Sunday with all my family to celebrate!
That’s HUGE!! Congratulations, Anna!!!
Ummmmm WHAT brand is that adorable kimono!?!? Obsessed! Y’all look adorable!
Thank you! It’s Pink Blush Maternity and I got it on sale through Zulily. 🙂
