Baby brain moment of the week?
~I went to Target to buy conditioner for my hair. I bought shampoo. They're totally different shaped bottles. A couple days later, I went back for the originally sought conditioner and light bulbs. I got the conditioner. I forgot the lightbulbs. 

Random Question of the Week:
Do you have any family traditions you are excited to share with your child and? Do you have ideas for new traditions you want to start?
~Most of our traditions are around holidays...some specifics at Christmas time that we love. Primarily, I'm excited about the Fall. I lovelovelove everything Fall...going to the pumpkin farm, carving pumpkins, fall festivals, roasting pumpkin seeds, trick-or-treating, caramel apples. I'm excited for Lily to be a part of our family on the outside!

Happy 22 weeks for me!!
