SPRING!

Hi all! We have had just the most beautiful weather ever!!! I cannot tell you how much time we've spent outside everyday. Julip's favorite new thing to say is, "Outside, momma. Garden." What better way to spend your day, right? My freckles have definitely made their arrival... and both Julip and my hair is getting lighter and lighter!

Baby Eloise will be here so soon, y'all! I cannot believe how far along I am. It's the 8th month! As Julip would say, "Oh my goodness!" :) She better come before the weather changes too much! :)

 Baby sister weighs as much as a jicama, a little more than 3.5 lbs. 

 Baby weighs as much as a pineapple (yummy). 

This week, I'm carrying around a honeydew melon! :) 

People ask how I'm feeling, and honestly, I feel great! I can tell I move a little slower, but other than that, nothing is really different. I'm not getting tired, I'm sleeping well, I have no aches, pains, or swelling... everything is great! Praise the Lord! 

Dustin was gone all last week in Honduras (and again this week) and I had such a list of things to get done. Although I'm super pregnant, I was determined not to let that hold me back. Thankfully, I worked my way through my list and have a new list for this week! I'll update you soon on my progress!  I think I've taken nesting to a WHOLE new level... What can I say, I'm a little CRAZY! :)

I've been craving steak and hamburgers lately. Last night, we were able to go on a date and I just had to have a hamburger... but it was actually a bison burger and it was DELICIOUS! I also cannot get enough garlic these days. Yummy! 

With Julip, I put on lots of weight all over. This baby has pretty much gotten all the weight and I've kept it mostly in my midsection. I don't feel like I've done anything differently though, I guess it's just different with each baby. Eloise is so funny, too. I can literally feel her little feet all the time. She'll stick one against the wall of my belly and I can feel her foot! and sometimes I feel a knee or an elbow or her booty. I've enjoyed that so so much. I cannot wait to meet baby sister! :) 

With love, 
momma Caro
