Before I start this post I want to make it clear that I'm grateful...

The truth is this season in life is wearing on me. More so mentally and spiritually.

I really miss having our own home. I could not ask for better in laws, this has nothing to do with who we're living with but how we are living. I am really missing having our own space, quiet times, family times and now that I'm in total nesting mode I'm sad that I don't have a nursery to put together and prepare for our newest little man.

Cravings: I've been on a chocolate kick. Not surprising but the first time I've had a need for it since being pregnant. So good!

Food Aversions: None really. I always think I want eggs and then feel so gross afterwards.

Heartbeat: high 150's

Gender: precious baby BOY!

Extras: I'm feeling really good and have been surprised how easy this pregnancy has been {besides those yucky first few weeks}. I usually forget that I'm pregnant until I sit down and start to feel him wiggle around which is the best feeling ever! I'm …
