Third Trimester!

28 Weeks!!!

Compared to...

24 Weeks

At the beginning of this week, I entered the third trimester!

I am finally in the "home stretch."

Everything is going so well, and we are super grateful to have such a smooth pregnancy!

The only difference I feel in this last month is more movement from our little boy.

He is constantly kicking, flipping, hitting, and moving in every direction!

And the time when he is most active is... at night!

We wonder if this means he is going to be wide awake every night, all night, after he is born?! :]

Besides our boy growing healthy and strong, I personally haven't felt any different since week 24.

Everything is going wonderfully and we just hope this last trimester flies by!

We love our baby boy so much already!

My sweet husband loves talking to my belly; which is the cutest thing ever!

Our cute guy goes crazy when he is talked to!

We cannot wait until November!!!♥

Best Girlfriends Ever!

So I, Kaitie, have a great group of girlfriends from high school!

We call ourselves the "KO."

This last Monday, some of these girls threw a little baby shower for me before they have to head off to school for the Fall!

I am such a lucky girl!

I got amazing homemade blankets, adorable baby clothes, and much appreciated money to buy baby necessities!

Here are some of my cute girls whom I have grown to love throughout the years!

[Jade, Heather, Me, Kelsey, Kaylie, Kayleen]

Thank you so much girls!

I am forever grateful.♥

We're Back!!!

Austin and I were full-time students during the summer months...

So this is where we have been for the past little while!

But I am happy to say that we both successfully completed our summer classes and have been enjoying a break.

We were super spoiled to be able to go on a trip with my family to San Diego!!!
We spent a fun-filled day at Sea World and a very relaxing day at the beach.

Sea World!

[Soaking wet from head to toe!]

Beach Time!

We had the most amazing time! It was so great to get away and finally have a relaxing weekend!

To begin, my mom's parents live in the beautiful city of Montreal, Quebec. Whenever my family goes to visit them, they bring back a luggage full of goodies that can only be found in Canada. This year, Austin was introduced to the mouthwatering deliciousness of a family favorite called Ketchup Chips.

Now, these are not just your ordinary chips; and my husband is proof of this. After he first had them, he just could not get enough! He basically cleared my parents of the numerous bags that they had brought back. Soon after they were gone, I found Austin searching the internet for this rare chip made by Lays.

To prove that these are the best chips around, try looking up the authentic brand on ebay.
Oh please, please click this link to see how much people are selling them for! You will be shocked!

To my shock, I caught my husband almost buying some online one day!

Through much searching, we found out that Kmart sells a different version of these chips, but only online! I decided to make a trip to the Kmart closest to our house just to be sure. They told me that they do not carry the ketchup chips in store anymore, and that this was the same for all other Kmart's in the valley. Oh darn! So I bought a bag of Ketchup Snack Fries; hoping that they would taste somewhat similar. Later that day, Austin went back to the same Kmart to buy more of the Ketchup Snack Fries [because they were buy one, get one free] and he came home with this:
