"Hey guys. So today marks four months and as much as I hate to do this, I've been advised not to do anything to strenuous for the next five months. Which means no flying. I'm so so so very sorry for everyone who wanted to come out and see me at festivals, but I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with the rest of the line ups. Love you guys a bunch."

I ended the Snapchat and threw my phone on the bed, groaning. Shawn's been gone for a total of two hours and I'm bored out of my mind. I've cleaned the house, completely spotless, already and I've run out of things to do in the baby's room.

Ally's gone somewhere with Niall so I can't call her to go do something. The twins are at grandmas lake house for the week, and I don't have enough energy to keep up with the little ones. Moms are working, so that's also out.

"It's just you and me Essie." I said looking down at my stomach and rubbing it. Essie is what we've started calling her because we aren't telling people what her name is until she's born and it's just easier.

"What do you want to do today baby girl?" I asked deciding to get back up out of the bed and walk down the stairs.

"We can go to the mall and buy mommy more clothes to wear." I said, tugging on the band of my leggings that were barely hanging on at this point. I slid my shoes on after I decided that that was the plan for today.

"We could also go buy you more clothes, but daddy won't like that too much when he gets back." There was a tiny ping up against where my hand was resting in my stomach.

My eyes widened and I smiled. "Did you just kick mommy?" I asked. In response she, what I assumed was a kick, again.

"I'll take that as a yes. And I'll also take it as you want to buy more clothes for you, which I'm totally down for." I opened the door and walked out, locking it behind me before walking to my car.

I texted Shawn and told him to FaceTime me when he got a chance before climbing into my Jeep (which is getting considerably harder) and driving to the mall.

"What's the damage?" Shawn asked when I answered his FaceTime.

"I didn't buy that much," I started, trying to hid the bags behind me.

"Mer, I can see the bags behind you." He said pointing at the screen.
