Congratulations on your 23rd week and welcome to our 24rth week!! We have been busy getting things together for the Wedding/Bridal Luncheon/Father's Day/Vacation/Birthday Parties so I apologize for not writing for almost TWO WEEKS!! YIKES
This past weekend we went to Charleston, SC for Victoria & Justin's wedding, it was also your daddy's first Father's Day!!! We worked literally 9 days straight before we left for our little vacation and had to drive 6 hours after we got off of work on Wednesday.. We were troopers I tell ya. Our vacation was absolutely perfect, we had such a wonderful time and we loved our B&B. We met so many people that asked us about you and wanted to know when you would make your arrival and even felt you kick. The restaurants were incredible and we spent most of our days at the Isle of Palms with family wrestling the waves. The temperature ranged from 92°F up to 98°F and the Ocean was a perfect 82°F-- PERFECT! Before we left I was reading off a checklist for Daddy to write down and I said, "Don't forget to pack Brooks' swim suit." Subconsciously you are the only thing on my mind, I am always thinking of you, and it warms my heart to know that I get to hold you in my arms within the next 4 months.
Before our vaca and after a very long work week mommy got some incredible news- After two years of working all sorts of schedules at my job, they let me know that I would have a Monday-Friday set schedule and that I would be off of work by 3 PM everyday!!! MEANING that I get to stay home with my sweet baby angel for the most part after I finish my maternity leave. I had planned on quitting work all together to stay home with you but this will allow us to have more money to spoil you with and I will still be able to spend 75% of my time with you! What an exciting way to start our vacation, right??!! We celebrated by driving 20 minutes out of the way for a half dozen order of glazed donuts and a small coffee. OMG they were to die for! The wedding was absolutely beautiful and the past two weeks have just been both exhausted and exhilarating all at the same time.
We got daddy your first 302 shirt and a chef coat that says #1 daddy- We put a little package of all of his favorite candy together for his 1st Father's Day present and he loved it so much!
This is mommy posing with her little Beach BUMP at 23 WEEKS!
We made lemonade cupcakes with a pink lemonade frosting topped with edible pearls for Suzanne's bday and we made #DIY cupcake toppers with scrapbook paper and bamboo skewers!!!

#Scribblers have been our favorite craving thus far- something about the heat of the summer and the movement in my belly- You LOVE Popsicles.

And last but not least we shared a caramel macchiato on the drive home from Charleston- We had such a wonderful trip and the whole vacation brought peace into my soul.
Mommy has been buying up all sorts of presents for you and constantly feeding our cravings.. no matter how insane they may be. We have been spending a lot of time with our family members and are getting so excited about your upcoming arrival. I know that we still have a sometime before you are here but the more time I spend getting everything prepared for you the more real it becomes. Thank you for allowing me to love you as much as I do and for always being up for coffee :) Tomorrow we go to the doctor and I will get to hear your sweet heartbeat, lets hope these butterflies will subside and let mommy sleep tonight!! Goodnight my moon and stars.
XOXOXOXO MOMMY
