We took some fall photos on our porch, because ’tis the season and all. The hay bale is from our neighborhood Oktoberfest party, and admittedly is a bit large for our porch, but still all sorts of festive. ;) Throw on all of the pumpkins we own, and how could we NOT take a few photos?! Sam was wanting to only run around, and was wondering the entire time WHY we were trying to get him to sit on this stupid hay bale. Ahhh, 18 month olds. Gotta love ’em.
And now for a little 28 week bump update! I am feeling H-U-G-E. I’ve gained more weight than I’d like to think about, and I’ve been feeling just… uncomfortable lately. Not complaining, just stating a fact. I’ve been making sure to eat well and exercise every day, which really helps boost my mood and energy, so that’s good.
Also, I have been LOVING my body pillow and cannot sleep without it now! Which is crazy because just in the 1st trimester, I talked about how I loved it for lounging, but couldn’t sleep with it. Oh, how the tables have turned. I literally can’t sleep without it now (good thing we have a king bed!). And it will actually be included in my 3rd trimester must haves (coming soon!) so watch for that.
We have a few doctor appointments coming up, and as I said in the baby update post, we will be finding out Baby’s gender in a few weeks! I AM SO EXCITED! It definitely gives me something to look forward to, and also party planning is like therapy to me. It takes my mind off of thinking negative thoughts, it gives me something to focus my energy on and it keeps me happy. ALL GOOD THINGS. All things I need right now. :) I can’t wait to find out and to share on here! Eeek!!!
So this isn’t the first time I’ll be asking, buuuuut. What do you think Baby is? Boy or girl? :)

Hi Katie!!! Love your porch pics and your outfit!!! Interesting fact…I came across the “Shein” website this week, and I was wondering what your experience was like ordering from them?
Hi Abbie, thank you! :) My experience with Shein is great- but just remember you get what you pay for. The quality is definitely lacking, but for fast and super cheap fashion, I recommend it!

Thanks that makes sense!! Thinking of giving it a shot!
I’m thinking girl, however my track record on feeling a “girl vibe” typically results in adorable boys. Either way, that baby will be precious based on your track record in producing beautiful children.
Haha that’s interesting… I guess we’ll have to see if your track record prevails! ;) And that was really sweet of you. :)

I’m thinking this one will be a girl! But I’m sure you’ll have a beautiful, healthy baby, no matter the gender.
That’s what we’re praying for- healthy baby!!!

girl! Total guess (obviously!) :) Excited for you either way!
Eeek! That would be so fun! :)

seriously…I can’t concentrate with that boys hair. It’s hilarious and I love it. Just love it. It’s so the best age.
Hahaha I KNOW. It’s literally so out of control. It’s the best.

I’m thinking this little one is a girl just by your mood and cravings and the way you are carrying…I’m praying for a healthy baby and mama!!
Interesting! We’ll see! I am SO excited to find out!! And I’m praying for the exact same thing! :)

Well, I’ve always heard if you’ve been sick then girl and if you feel good then boy…but man second pregnancy are so different than the first- Like so tired and yuck cause you are chasing a toddler…Can’t wait for you to find out. What are you planning on doing for the reveal?!
Yeah, this is true. I was definitely sick this time and wasn’t at all with Sam, soooo…. Who knows! :) We’re having a party with close friends and family for the reveal, but not sure the details yet! I’m just starting to plan. :)

I think girl! But either way will be awesome! Praying for you and this baby!
