Galveston
Stephen was off Saturday and I have been really wanting to go to Galveston so we decided that this would probably be our last chance this summer since it will be so hot and I will be hugely pregnant! So we headed down around 9:30. Once we got to Galveston, the pocket park I wanted to go to was closed! I was so bummed. All of the public beach access areas were full of seaweed and just gross so we drove down the seawall. By this time it was packed and I was already getting hungry. We decided just to head to the strand to walk around.
We shopped a while, but didn't buy anything. We also saw Adam and Jess! They were just coming down to pick up a butterfly display Jess had made. It was so hot and windy and after walking I was exhausted! We stopped and got some taffy and then headed over to Shrimp n Stuff for lunch. It was so good!
Even though the day didn't go exactly as I had planned, it was still a good day! Just spending the day with Stephen was great! I just love his new schedule!

Cravings: Nothing really
Symptoms: Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn- it has gotten really bad!

29 Weeks
I am 29 weeks today! I feel so much more pregnant these days. I can tell I walk a little differently and get tired after simple things. At night I love to sit and just rub my belly and think about Stephen. I just can't wait to meet him! But I want him to keep growing for now!

Movement: I love feeling him move and kick. He kicks harder these days.
Sleep: I'm having a harder time getting comfortable and then I get up a few times to go to the bathroom. I feel like I toss and turn all night, but I still feel pretty rested in the mornings, so that is good.

Mother's Day
I didn't take many picture on Mother's Day this year because I just didn't feel good at all. I have been conjested and stopped up and just feel worn out most of the time. But we still had a great time celebrating all of our Mom's this weekend.
Saturday night, we met Annette and Jim at Cheesecake Factory in Sugar Land for dinner. We sat outside and it was such a nice night! They came over after dinner to see the crib and nursery. We had a great evening with them!
Sunday morning, we met my Mom, Dad and Aaron at Northwest Forest for brunch. It was wonderful and we all stuffed ourselves! After we ate we walked around and showed Aaron all the different buildings. It was soooo hot outside! I can't believe it is only May! It is going to be a LONG summer! It was so great to spend the morning with them. I am so blessed with such a wonderful Mom! She is just the best!
We left Northwest Forest and headed over to Clear Lake to see Nancy. Everyone slowly made their way over and the kids swam and the adults hung out on the patio and ate snacks and homeade ice cream. It was a nice afternoon, but I was worn out and didn't feel that good, so we went home a little early.
We had a great time with all of our families celebrating our wonderful Moms!
I thought so much about my baby boy today! I can't wait to be his Mother and I am so honored that God allowed me this role! I will strive everyday to be the best Mom I can be to him. I can't wait to see his sweet face and can't imagine the joy and love that day will hold! I know I won't always be a perfect Mom, but I do know that I will give 100% of myself to being the best Mom I can be and I will love him with my whole heart every day of my life!
