September - FALL & 29th birthday is here!

September starts my favorite time of year! I LOVE Fall and this year there is something extra special because of what we have waiting for us in early Dec. 

Here is our September in pics - starting off with my Howie.

Jumping up to say hi during my bath :) He's getting big!



Playing on our bed. He doesn't sleep with us, but we've definitely let him on the bed now. He doesn't shed and he's pretty clean - so I've come to terms with it :) Tripp has started bringing him to bed to wake me up in the morning and the three of us snuggle... then I take him out while Tripp showers. 





We've had him for 5 weeks and although he's a stinker (chewer and still potty training)... he is the best.



Saturday morning Jazzercise and then a smoothie + granola at Native Nectar. YUM! 28 weeks and a pretty darn good way to start off the THIRD trimester!



Mary Ann sent the below pic to us after comparing Davis' ultrasound to Tripp's baby pic. Sure do look alike! 



My best friends' babies are here!! Clairebear had Evelyn Claire Sizemore on September 7th. Dougie was getting induced on September 17th in LR, so I drove down to meet Evelyn and hopefully Douglas if he came on time!

I held Evelyn for about 2 hours while talking to Claire and her mom. It was perfection. She has a FULL head of hair!




A few hours later I went to the hospital to meet Robert "Douglas" Beach. Dougie went in early on Saturday morning and he was born at 1:37pm. So proud of both of my friends!




I am so thankful for my college friends... It's crazy to think that we met in college, have seen each other through first jobs, weddings and now babies. It's been so fun being pregnant together and with me being after Claire and Sarah, I can ask them all of the questions after they experience things before me! :)


I drove home from LR that night and slept quite a bit on Sunday... I've reverted back to my tiredness from the first trimester in a way. A few hour nap on both Saturday and Sunday is typical these days! In between the naps, I decorated for FALL. I love our house the most during the Sept - Dec months. I always start with decorating our hutch. We burn a pumpkin candle and I decorate. Love.


Jess and Sawyer took me to lunch the day before my birthday. Sawyer had stitches earlier that week, but he was good! We ate at noodles and I loved getting a break in my Friday with these two.



I also got flowers delivered to the office when I got back from lunch - they scream fall and I love them! So beautiful!! 



Friday night, the day before my birthday, Tripp and I went to dinner at Ruth's Chris. I was craving some of their sweet potatoes and they were delicious. It was a great dinner and good conversation with my love. Meanwhile in Paragould, my family was surprising my Aunt Cheryl for her 60th birthday! I couldn't miss Friday at work and then had to be back on Saturday night for another party, so we missed out on this. I know it was a blast. Look at my cute parents in their gatsby attire :)


On my actual birthday, Saturday, I woke up and taught class. Shannon had balloons on stage and I got cookies from my customers - great start to the day! I shopped around, got one of my favorite meals at the Crumpet in Rogers and took a nap. Then we got dressed up for Jess' 80s theme 30th birthday party!



30 weeks pregnant and absolutely the sober one. She had a DJ and the decor was on point. The party was during the Texas A&M game... so we watched the game and mingled. We left during halftime and watched the rest at home. We lost, so that was a bummer... but it was still a fun night and Jess had a blast - which is what mattered the most!






Barrett and Jess... hilarious.



Can't believe it's my last birthday without a baby. Life is a changing!
