I've received a few things over the past couple weeks that I absolutely ADORE! 2 packages from my great Aunt Kay and I purchased (only paid shipping because I had a coupon) for a carseat canopy for my Livy Bug! 

Aunt Kay sent 2 beautiful white with pink monogram bibs for baby girl and then another package that had a pink newborn gown with an O monogramed, a pink bib with her monogram initials, and a pink burb cloth with an O and Olivia monogramed on it!

Movement: Feeling baby girl move more but I haven't felt her consistently on the outside and Derek hasn't been able to feel her kick yet. 
Food cravings: Going to the grocery store was rough this week because every isle kept calling my name with something I wanted.....Nutella, chocolate covered raisins, french onion dip and chips...basically everything unhealthy. I did have some yummy snack this week of apple slices, almond butter and granola. 
Anything making you queasy or sick:  We tried a new tomato soup this week and it was TERRIBLE! Derek ate more of it that I did but I took one bite and I had to spit it out. :(

Best moment of this week: Our doctor's appointment and spending time with family and friends!
Miss anything: chicken....I told Derek I really missed getting chick fil a sometimes. I love their waffle fries and lemonade and used to love their chicken before getting pregnant. He took me there and got a lemonade and french fries for us to share on Saturday! He's a GOOD man! I still might try their chicken again soon sometime!
Movement: This baby girl sure is a mover! She loves to wake me up in the morning :) I guess she'll be a morning person like her momma. 
Food cravings: Chocolate, fruit, chuy's tex mex food!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  We went to Ghengis Grill Mongolian BBQ place where you pick out your raw meat and veggies/seasonings/sauces and then they cook it on the grill for you. I realized I can't go there anymore while I'm still pregnant. The smell of the raw meat almost sent me over the edge. The food was delicious after it was cooked, of course, and I think I ate more veggies than I have in a while!
