Good morning to you! I hope you had a great weekend! We spent a lot of time outside which is exactly where I prefer to be lately. I can definitely feel the summer heat coming but right now it’s pleasantly warm without feeling stifling. I cannot get enough of the gorgeous spring weather in Charlotte!
Here are a few highlights from our weekend:
- Lake Time
Saturday was all about time on the boat! Ryan and I headed out on the water around lunchtime, cruised all over the place and even stopped by to say hi to Brittany and her husband David for a little while which was fun! We ended up tossing over the anchor in a quiet little cove in the late afternoon and enjoyed relaxing in the sun until Sadie let us know that two feathery friends were encroaching on our space and posing a serious threat…
These ducks were fearless! Ryan and I laughed when they seemed to refuse to fly away and preferred swimming super-fast away from Sadie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sadie swim so quickly in the lake as she chased the taunting duo! She had a blast zig-zagging around chasing the ducks until we called her back for a breather.
- Pitch Perfect 2
If you stopped by the blog on Friday, then you know this one was going to happen this weekend! I had high hopes for Pitch Perfect 2 since I loved the original so much and I’m happy to say I thought it was great! If you’re a fan of Pitch Perfect, I think you’ll love this one as well. Ryan and I both agreed that it was hilarious and very entertaining the whole way through. I preferred the music in the original movie, but still think the sequel is worth seeing. And Rebel Wilson absolutely cracked me up the whole time. She is hysterical!
- Hibachi Dinner
This may sound ridiculous, but early last week, as Ryan and I were about to go to sleep, I rolled over and told him I was craving a good hibachi dinner. At 10:30 p.m. What can I say? It sounded delicious! Well, we satisfied my hibachi cravings by going out for the “Early Bird Special” yesterday and each ordered the steak and shrimp combo. I was in fried rice and noodle heaven. All of my hibachi-loving dreams came true! It was delicious.
- The Beginning of My Third Trimester
Over the weekend I officially entered my third trimester. I honestly cannot believe we’re in the homestretch and that we’ll get to meet our baby boy so soon. What!? I know enough not to try to predict when he will come, but if we go by our due date, we’ll have a little baby boy in our arms in 12 weeks. I have a feeling these next three months will absolutely fly by and in the meantime I’m going to try my best to continue to give our little one a good place to hang out! I am getting more and more excited with each day that passes and cannot wait for my 28-week appointment tomorrow. I want to hear that heartbeat!

I got a chance to go to the farmer’s market this weekend (my highlight most weekends!) and then shopping with my mom and grilling out on Saturday night. It was not a bad day:) I want to see Pitch Perfect 2 though!
Aww you are adorable. My highlight was finding out we are having a baby Girl in October!!!
Looks like lots of fun on the lake! I craved hibachi with both my boys too! Something about it always sounded delicious, maybe the salt?! Have a great day!
That’s so exciting your in the third trimester!! I bet time feels like it’s flyin’ by:)
I loved Pitch Perfect 2 too! And now I’m craving hibachi! haha Congrats on entering your third trimester!! I’m so excited for you and Ryan! <3
ah, you are just the cutest! Love your little bump!
and LOVE Fat Amy. Can the third Pitch Perfect just be all about her!?
Sadie’s collar is absolutely adorable! Where did you get it?
My Sadie also loves to swim around in the lake and chase ducks…usually we have to tell her we are leaving for her to actually end her game of chase with them!
I can NOT wait to see Pitch Perfect 2! Rebel Wilson is absolutely hilarious!
ahhhh I am so happy that we are finally getting to lake time here in Chicago – looks like you had a wonderful weekend!
Oh have I been missing lake time! We sold our boat a couple years ago, and while I can’t say I regret the decision, I do kind of wish we had a new one!!
A day lounging on the lake sounds awesome! I spent a lot of time lounging on my patio and shopping this weekend. Totally low-key and awesome. Can’t wait to see Pitch Perfect 2!
Loving the look of Sadie on the water! I think my weekend highlight was my best friend from growing up telling me that she is expecting her first baby! My best friend from college just had her first little one in March but she lives REALLY far away, so this new little girl or guy will be the first I get to meet when he or she is born, come winter. So excited to be an “auntie” 🙂
Mmmm…now I’m craving Hibachi!! You look absolutely beautiful pregnant by the way =)

Sounds like a fun weekend! I’m so glad to hear Pitch Perfect 2 is good. You never know how the sequel is going to turn out. The highlight of my weekend was watching my brother graduate with his master’s degree. I’m so proud of him!
I just mentioned to my dad how I am craving a good hibachi meal too! There’s just something about it that is different!
Your bump looks so good!
Now, about Pitch Perfect 2… amazing! Slightly embarrassed to say that my cousin and I cried at one point, not from laughter, but that song at that part… you probably know the one 😉
My highlight of this weekend was my best friend finally being able to feel my baby boy kick in my belly:)
I also entered week 35 of my pregnancy baby will be here any day now!
YAY!! You’re so close!
Third trimester?! Where has the time gone?? I still need to see Pitch Perfect 2, but I heard good things!
I helped my sister landscape our front yard. We live in a rental, but our landlord has been letting us do whatever we want to the house, which is great. Our yard is an absolute mess, and now that we’ve got hostas and red mulch in the front, around the porch, it adds some visual interest. And yesterday, we went to see Avengers: Age of Ultron again, because we’re massive Marvel nerds, and absolutely proud of it!
Sadie is quite the swimmer! Has she always been that way? Is it hard for her to get in and out of the boat when she swims like that?
Congrats on your third trimester–so exciting! Your weekend looked amazing–there are few things better than a lake day!
Oh man, I thought you were going to say you satisfied your hibachi craving at 10:30PM THAT night, ha!
Best thing about this weekend was an outdoor bootcamp that I am STILL sore from, hurts so good!
Have a great morning!
What a fun weekend! I love Hibachi, it’s always such a fun experience, not to mention, very tasty!
Glad to hear you liked Pitch Perfect, I’m itching to see it myself! My weekend highlight was YOGA! I was dragging my feet to class but as always I was glad I went, Namaste 🙂
Sounds like a perfect weekend! My highlight came from relaxing at the beach yesterday and watching my boyfriends last spring rugby game! You look AMAZING ! Precious baby bump : )
What a nice weekend! Where is the floral cardigan from that you are wearing in the 3rd Trimester bump photo? It is really cute!
I bought it on sale through Zulily and the brand is Pink Blush!
The highlight of my weekend was my bachelorette party! We rented a lake house & 14 of my girl friends from HS/College & who are all spread out across NY state (& one in Mass.) came out for a fun weekend. On Saturday we went on a walking food tour, which was so much fun & delicious too!!
Hi Julie! I finally watched the FIRST Pitch Perfect this weekend and loved it. But the highlight of my weekend was attending an all-day Les Mills group fitness instructor event, in which I took six Les Mills classes and saw all of my fellow instructors from around the Bay Area! So wonderful!
I can’t believe you’re in the home stretch, crazy how time flies! You’re still so tiny, too! Thanks for sharing your journey on the blog – marriage and kids are still a ways down the road for me, but I’m a longtime reader and always thought we had lots in common, so it’s been fun to hear your take on everything! Best wishes!!
ahh hibachi is my all time favorite!! I cant wait to see Pitch Perfect 2, but I’ll have to wait until the DVD comes out, since I’m always trailing around a little boy hahah
The lake you were on looks beautiful – and quiet. I haven’t had a hibachi dinner in years.
We celebrated a good friend’s wedding all weekend in NYC. Indian weddings are incredible but EXHAUSTING!
you looked gorgeous at that wedding!!! so glad you had fun!
Yay for the third tri! That is so exciting 🙂 I’ll be in it this week, so it’s crazy that we’re already in the final stretch til’ our babies. I do know that sometimes the 3rd brings back some of the 1st’s symptoms (my 1st pregnancy did), so I’m hoping you don’t have any of yours back!
I really want to see PP2–I’ve heard good things about it, so I’m glad you liked it.
I had the same thoughts about Pitch Perfect 2! I liked it but the first one a little more. Still was cracking up the whole time 🙂
Aw! Happy third trimester! We are going to have an adorable bundle of joy in no time! 🙂
Sadie is just too cute! She seems like a very hard worker! Those ducks looked dangerous! And, I love her collar.
I’m glad you enjoyed your movie. I know you have been waiting for it to release.
And, hibachi?! Yes! How could you not be craving hibachi?! It’s awesome! I too crave it at 10:30 at night, and most other times throughout the day.
One highlight from my weekend? We had an awesome time at the beach for a bridal shower. The weather was perfect (until it wasn’t) and everyone had a great time!
What a perfect weekend! Can’t go wrong with a little lake time, good food, and an entertaining movie! I’m looking forward to seeing Pitch Perfect 2, so I’m glad you gave it positive reviews! You look absolutely beautiful as you approach your 3rd trimester. Time is really flying! Just wait ’til you have your little guy…then time will REALLY fly! 😉
That’s too funny…I had a MAJOR hibachi craving during my pregnancy too. All I wanted was those shrimp with the ginger sauce they give you for dipping. When I finally went, it was everything I had hoped it would be!! haha. Glad yours hit the spot too 😉
Exactly!!! I kind of want to go out for hibachi again tonight… 🙂
Sounds like a great weekend to me! 🙂 I really want to see Pitch Perfect 2 as well but since moving I don’t have girlfriends to watch it with. My hubby doesn’t seems to be excited about it like I am. Lol
It sound like you had a great weekend! I’m going to see Pitch Perfect tonight and can’t wait!! I’m sure it’ll be Aca-Mazing!
Completely agree with your assessment of the sequel. I really wish the music had been better, but, overall, it was a great time!
Highlight of my weekend was that my 10-week-old girl slept 11 HOURS in a row, for 2 nights in a row!!! I don’t know how I lucked out and got such an awesome sleeper but I’ll take it! I will try to send some of her good sleep juju your way, haha 🙂
I saw Pitch Perfect 2 over the weekend as well and totally agree. I won’t be buying the soundtrack to this one but it was still a fun movie!
Happy 3rd tri!! Get ready for the bump to grow to ridiculous proportions! 😉
I’ve heard that the third trimester brings about the big-time belly growth! Ah!! 🙂
How exciting you’re in your third trimester! Congratulations! I had an amazing weekend and the highlight was that my boyfriend of 3 years proposed to me and now we’re engaged! It was a total surprise for me 🙂
Hello, congrats on your pregnancy, I love sadies collar, wear is it from ? many thanks
I had a busy but very gratifying weekend with the Asheville area March for Babies! The event was a big hit!
Now I want hibachi…. sounds gooooodddd….
My brother visiting and us running a half together. Also I cut 12 min off my time! Ok, maybe that’s 3 things.
Pitch Perfect 2 came out in the UK this weekend too and I went to see it with my boyfriend. It was so funny! My favourite line? ‘Groovy like a drive in movie!’ Awesome. I really enjoy reading your blog. It’s always so positive and makes me want to visit North Carolina!
Sadie is such a crack up with those ducks!!!
I have yet to see Pitch Perfect 2 but am DEFINITELY going to make it happen this weekend!
You are just about the cutest pregnant woman ever and I hope I look half as good as that when I am pregnant!
My favorite parts of the weekend were really good dinners! Friday night we went to mexican w margaritas with our friends and then italian for a date night with my hubby on Saturday night 🙂
We spent the weekend with my husband’s side of the family, so that was a nice little getaway! Do you guys own or rent a boat? I’m thinking we need to rent a pontoon boat with some friends on one of these upcoming Saturdays! I’m craving some lake time!
we bought a used boat a month or so ago. loving it so far!!
I saw the movie too!
I saw a girl at the gym yesterday that was at least 8 months pregnant. She was teaching Zumba! It was awesome, and I immediately thought of you! Fit Mama! 🙂
I dragged a friend to a tapping of the coming to SyFy channel show “Geeks That Drink.” It’s Geek Pub Trivia meets Double Dare. We ended up being seating in the very front of the “pub” so I’m guessing we’ll get some camera time in the final edit, yikes!
you are the cutest pregnant woman! i’m so glad to hear PP2 lived up to the hype of the first, b/c i looooove the first and would be so disappointed if this one wasn’t good. highlight from my wknd: ran the Brooklyn Half and had an awesome experience.
