You guys have heard me talk about my precious 7-year-old neighbor who lost her battle to leukemia and how her mom started Anchor Beads in her honor to raise money for childhood cancer research. Well this past weekend they had the first annual Anchor Run and all proceeds went to childhood cancer research. I walked the 5k and pushed my niece in the stroller. My whole family participated which was really fun. It was so great to get some exercise while raising money for a great cause and supporting such a special family.
How seriously adorable is my nephew?! Eat.him.up.

We went to the doctor on Wednesday to check on little babe. I swear I will never take for granted hearing that heart beat! We have our anatomy scan in 2 weeks and I am pretty anxious about that. IVF babies have slightly higher risk of heart abnormalities so we are praying for good news and a healthy baby.

My husband and I recently started watching Black List and we are hooked! Except for my few shows that I'm addicted to (hello RHOC and Bachelor) I don't watch tv much because I'd rather read [nerd] or sleep. But this show has sucked me in completely. We have been watching it every night for the past week and I have a feeling we will be watching a lot this weekend.

My sweet friend Lindsey Thorne recently posted about some products she has loved during her pregnancy to prevent stretch marks so I knew I had to try them out. This girl knows her beauty products! I am sold on the tummy butter and the body scrub. The stretch mark oil is a little too greasy for me. I am using the body scrub every night or every other night in the shower then I get out and put the tummy butter all over my belly. Not only does it smell amazing but it leaves my skin feeling so soft!

I recently got all of this baby stuff for $110!! A family friend was basically giving all her baby stuff away and I knew I had to scoop it all up. It is in perfect condition and will let us spend that money on other stuff we need. We will probably still register for some of these things because we will leave some stuff at the beach and obviously need stuff for our home as well.
What a great cause to run for!! I havnt watched the blacklist but I think we need to start. Everyone loves it! You got a ton of great things for baby. And so cheap! I always loved listening to the HB at my dr apts. can't wait to hear what you're having!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove that kimono you're wearing in that bump pic! And yay for hearing sweet little heartbeats. I think that's one of my favorite sounds in the world and no matter if it's my baby or not, I still get choked up every time I hear it and always think, "You are beautifully and wonderfully made!" So exciting about getting all of that baby stuff for such a great price! You will LOVE the Rock 'N' Play and the swing, especially! ;) Can't wait to hear if Baby Davis is a boy or a girl!
ReplyDeleteLove that the whole family walked/ran the Anchor Run. So sweet! Major score on all those goodies!!

Score on your babies finds!! Also, keep up with the tummy butter! I feel that doing it consistently is more important than the type or brand :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so beautiful. And truly ... nothing like hearing that heartbeat. Ask them if they will let you record it on your phone - a doctor showed me how to do that with Camille! I could listen to it whenever and it was magical. Also, a total score on all of that baby gear! We have the SAME swing, Char's in it as I type this. Just stock up on D batteries - seriously - ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a score on those baby items and I love that sweet belly photo!! Hope you have a great weekend girl!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun 5k!! So awesome everyone was able to rally behind your neighbors! You got some awesome baby stuff!! So exciting - the house is filling up!! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteWe got a pack n play and bouncer from a friends garage sale recently for my mom to use since she is on baby duty 3 days a week once she comes & got such a great deal!!
ReplyDeleteEeeek! Look at that bump - love it! What a great haul of baby stuff you were able to get!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Enjoy your weekend :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't the heart beat the absolute best??! And I am going to check out Blacklist... John and I have been trying to find a new show to watch with not much luck!!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome hall of baby stuff right there! Boppy bumbo and a rock and play and you're good to go girl. Hope you're feeling well!
ReplyDeleteLove that little bump!! You look so great! And seriously, hearing the heartbeat is the best sound in the world. I was paranoid when I was first pregnant so I bought an at home doppler and listened to her way too often, haha!
ReplyDeleteI love Blacklist, such a great show. So sad to hear about your neighbor. That's awesome that your family came together to participate. That's so great that your scored all that baby stuff for cheap. That was a great deal. Wishing y'all good news at the anatomy scan!
ReplyDeleteEek you look fabulous!!!! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cause, so sad though. Your bump looks so cute and woohoo for all the baby things.
ReplyDeleteNice article, thank you for the sharing
ReplyDeleteI'm super impressed you got all the baby gear set up and ready- you are a natural at this parenting stuff! So good to see you at the Anchor Run. Also in response to your other post I am one of the few people who really does not like the City Select, this may be because I'm using it for twins but to me it is heavy and a lot of the configurations don't really work well in real life (for instance mine already can kick each other when they are both facing forward and they both cry when they face me and see me and I can't pick them up!) I also hated that the bassinet option uses part of the seat so you can't interchange them easily. My friend has the uppababy and loves it. I personally love the city mini gt. I have a slight stroller obsession... I have owned an embarrassing amount and am about to buy yet another much to my husbands dismay. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited rot find out what you're having! My best friend is at around the stage as you and is finding out the sex in a couple weeks as well! So exciting! I have heard that The Blacklist is amazing. Seems like everyone is watching it!

Your nephew is so cute! And what a steal for all of that baby stuff! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYay for getting all of that stuff for only $110! What a deal! Your bump is so cute, you look amazing! Sending you ALL the thoughts and prayers for a nice healthy little babe. I was obsessed with Blacklist for awhile but I didn't watch at all last season, I should pick it back up again! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! I love your sweet bump! Also, love that you did the run for Georgia. Great load for $110! xx, I'm Fixin' To
