free fonts: scripts

These are my favorite fonts of all...mostly because these are the "handwriting" fonts. I think some of these mimic my handwriting at different times so I use them a lot. What are your favorite script/handwriting fonts?

20 weeks


How far along are you?
20 weeks - I cannot believe I'm already halfway through the pregnancy! Maybe more than half if he decides to come early (or less than half if he's late, but I'm not thinking about that!)

How big is Baby?
He's as long as a banana - He weighs 10.5 ounces and is 10 inches from head to heel. (He'll now be measured from head to heel instead of head to bottom) - His taste buds are developed and he can now taste things that I'm eating via amniotic fluid. Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had while in the womb. When I read this to Will he said, "Great. He's going to be a picky eater." I'm going to do my best to be sure he's not picky like his momma!

Weight Gain?
I only check my weight at doctor's appointments. As of 16 week appointment, I was up 3 lbs. total since the beginning. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and I'm positive I've gained more weight. Every Sunday on the drive home from church I read my weekly email from thebump.com out loud to Will. This week's email said, "the weight gain has just barely begun." How encouraging, right? Ha!

 Gender?
It's a boy!

Maternity Clothes?
Yes - I have several shirts and capris/pants/shorts that I've been wearing. Still loving any kind of comfy dress. 

Stretch Marks?
No

 Sleep?
It's been so much better. I only had one day last week that I didn't sleep good and that was probably because of things that my mind wouldn't stop worrying about. Such an improvement over 7 nights of bad sleep a week that I had been getting. I definitely recommend a body pillow!

Symptoms?
back pain, back pain & back pain...so glad my chiropractic appointment is tomorrow too. I can tell I'm carrying much more weight in my belly than usual because of the lower back pain. - my face still breaks out unfortunately - Thirst! I'm so thirsty all the time...especially right before bed which doesn't help to lower my bathroom trips each night.

Movement?
YES - He moves so much and, like I mentioned last week, the kicks are getting stronger. I can see little thumps on my belly when I'm laying down. He also finally let Will and I feel his soccer kicks this past weekend.

Food Cravings/Aversions?
Not craving anything this week so far. I think the grape juice craving is gone...for now.

Labor Signs?
No

Belly Button in or out?
In

What I miss?
I don't know if this really counts as "missing" it because I never did this pre-pregnancy, but I want to sleep on my back! I've never been a back sleeper, but it feels so comfortable now...I'm trying hard to make myself stay on one side or the other. Sometimes I wake up on my back though. 

What I am looking forward to?
Still excited to start on the nursery - 20 week appointment tomorrow and I can hopefully hear his heartbeat again

Best moment of the week?
Will graduates with his Masters from seminary this week! I am so proud of him! - My brother-in-law and sis-in-law are coming in town and I'm looking forward to seeing them. - My middle brother, Cody, turns 21 this week! How is he so old?!

Thoughts?
After such a hot weekend, I'm wondering how I'm ever going to survive a Summer pregnancy in Memphis. Boy, oh boy.

Also, maybe I'm the only one who thinks about this, but I always wondered who would be the first random person to ask if I'm pregnant and when they would ask. Well, last week I had someone come up to me and say, "So are you expecting?" Guess the baby bump is officially noticeable.

Daddy’s feeling?
"Feeling excited! I watched Bambi to get ready for all the Disney movies we'll be watching soon!"

Weekend Recap - bundt cake belly

We had such a relaxing weekend. I always love when we can just stay home and check things off our to-do list. A majority of Saturday was spent cleaning up after our washing machine decided to flood some of the house last Thursday. Thankfully, it was a minor fix and we're back in business. I had to wash every towel in our house after we used them to soak up all the water. Glad that's over with.

Before our Friday night walk with the dogs - I'm going to need to raid Will's t-shirt drawer pretty soon.

Since my belly is starting to look like a bundt cake these days, I figured why not make one! Sad to say this pound cake is gone already...

Will and Colin went fishing on Saturday morning. It was such a beautiful day!

While they were gone, I gave Ginger a much-needed Summer cut! I know she feels better without all that extra fur!

After Will got home Saturday, he told me he "just wanted to sit in the hammock" for a few minutes. I go inside and come back 5 minutes later and find him like this. Guess he was tired!

After church Sunday we spent the afternoon outside with the dogs again. I tried to get some sun on my pale winter skin, but didn't last long because it was so hot. The shade felt great though!



I can't believe Remi didn't make this post! Guess he was too busy running around all weekend that I didn't get a picture of him. I had such a great weekend just relaxing with my little family and dreaming of the days that we get to spend with Baby K! We're halfway there!
20 down, 20 to go!

free fonts: basic

I'm a sucker for a good font. I hate most of the fonts that come installed on Microsoft programs...especially Papyrus. (and don't even get me started on Comic Sans!) I'm always searching for new fonts and have loved using different ones on my weekly bumpdate photos. 

Sooo today I wanted to share some of my favorite free fonts, beginning with just your basic type fonts.The next two posts will be script and decorative fonts. These were all downloaded for free off of various websites and I've tried to site them all. Are there any basic fonts you love that I don't have on this list? Is anyone else as font-obsessed as me?

19 weeks


How far along are you?
19 weeks - I cannot believe that on Sunday I'll be halfway through this pregnancy. It is flying by!
I know I say this every week, but for real this time, my stomach is getting huge! It feels like the jump from 18 to 19 weeks is when my belly really grew. According to Will last night, "That thing like doubled overnight." Thannnkkss. It just means Crew is a growing machine!

How big is Baby?
He is as big as a mango - He's about 6 inches from head to bottom (legs aren't included in measurement yet) and 8.5 ounces - His brain is designating specialized areas for smell, touch, vision, taste and hearing.

Weight Gain?
+ 3 lbs. as of 16 week appointment though I feel like it'll be more by the time I go to the doc next week.

 Gender?
It's a boy!

Maternity Clothes?
Yes and loving them. My parents got me some maternity pants for Mother's Day and I wore a pair to work on Monday. SO comfy! I'm also loving any kind of cotton sundress.

Stretch Marks?
Not yet...

 Sleep?
Hopefully looking up! I told you that I got the Leacho Snoogle pillow on Sunday from my parents and it's been great so far. I've been much more comfortable the past few nights and hope this continues to help! Now if I can just get Remi to believe that he's a dog and not a human that needs to sleep with his head on our pillows, we'll be good! Spoiled rotten!

Symptoms?
Headaches every few days (an improvement from a few weeks ago) - still breaking out some on my face - back pain - round ligament pain once or twice a week (always on the left side and at the end of the day) - I told Will this week that I feel like my skin on my stomach is stretched to the max already...with 21 weeks to go! - lightheaded/out of breath when standing still for even just a few minutes 

Movement?
Yes! I feel him all the time now and can definitely tell he's getting bigger and stronger. If we try and feel his movements with our hand, he stops kicking until we take our hand off. Last night he was kicking extra hard and I could see the little thumps on my belly. It was pretty cool, but of course when I told Will to look, Crew quit kicking. Little stinker.

Food Cravings/Aversions?
Still loving grape juice - preferably purple!
No aversions

Labor Signs?
no

Belly Button in or out?
in

What I miss?
Same as always...getting a good night's sleep

What I am looking forward to?
Starting his nursery (hopefully) soon - Will and I both have been in the process of cleaning out closets to make more space.

Best moment of the week?
We registered last Saturday which was both fun and exhausting.
Looking forward to being at the halfway point on Sunday!

Daddy’s feeling?
"Feeling enlightened after learning so much from registering Saturday!! Hoping Crew likes all the stuff we picked out!"

Whoa baby!...literally!
