oh baby | thirty-three weeks

how far along? | 33 weeks 

due date: january 14, 2016

hi! hope your week is going well … today i am sharing a bumpdate ‘thanksgiving edition’.
wishing you a great weekend and hope yesterday was a special one 

baby’s size | baby is the size of a durian and is around 4.2-5.8 lbs and 19 inches long 

gender | a baby boy! 

cheers to it officially being christmas season 
it’s almost christmas day- which also means that baby monaco’s birthday is right around the corner!!

feeling |  i feel relaxed and really good overall … it’s been so nice to be off work for a few days and with family/loved ones in my hometown. my parent’s house is just the coziest- lots of places to escape and cuddle up with a blanket. 

-our thanksgiving table-
maternity clothes |  my mom spoiled me on wednesday with some new undergarments/more tights and i am in love. in love. feeling so much more comfortable!! we went shopping together and had so much fun… we shop very similar to one another. baby boy as well was definitely spoiled with some new little socks, onesies, bibs, outfits, and a snuggly bear outfit. 

movement |  my grandma was able to feel him move last night while we played games in my parent’s basement {she’s one of my favorite people in the whole world} and helped raise us… she’s so sweet, hard-working, and so genuine. it was a special moment

sleep | 
 i’ve been going to bed really late this week {due to traveling in and staying up with friends/family} but plan to rest a little bit today before going back out to some boutiques/a coffee shop with my mom 

cravings | my brother-in-law, bassey, has been making healthy smoothies every morning this week- i am a happy girl. he’s using spinach, frozen berries, greek yogurt, homemade peanut butter, organic milk, and protein 



miss anything | my cousins and aunt in chicago- we used to go there for thanksgiving and some of my favorite memories and traditions are there. also, my sister just took off for work in cincinnati for the day- already missing her. she will be back later tonight for some more fun – loving being with her! 

fun facts | baby’s keeping his eyes open while awake. he’s starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing and his bones are hardening. 

best moment of the week | everything about last weekend in savannah- our babymoon was success. along with the embracing hugs we received when arriving in ohio and spending the night with my high school friends on wednesday- lots of memories, photos, and laughs were shared. 

how’s dad? |  he drove us all the way up here safely and as always, has been so supportive. he is also enjoying a few days off and has been relaxing as well 

looking forward to |  watching the ohio state/michigan game with my family tomorrow… it’s always been a very big day in this house {bloody mary’s, appetizers, family friends, and smoking a brisket all day} hail to the scarlet and gray- go bucks!!
