{23 weeks}



How far along? 22 23 WEEKS! We took the picture yesterday, because, honestly, I knew it was going to rain today and that I'd probably be in my PJs for most - if not all - of the day today and do not want to remember 23 weeks as the week everything went downhill {jk}.  Us pregnant ladies can still get gussied up! My husband said I looked like a 'bombshell'  and let me just tell you how much you do need that when you're pregnant!!! I really did write 22 weeks on the chalkboard, then I got to thinking I feel like I have written this before.....and I had, so instead of erasing {we had a wedding to be at!} I just crossed it out. 
Total weight gain/loss: I feel like I'm still hanging around 10 lbs., but honestly I'm too lazy to go weigh myself right now.....
Maternity clothes? Every so often. 

Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: It was some good sleepin' this morning with all that rain, plus we lost an hour of sleep so I slept in that much longer
Best moment this week: Probably working on the nursery and feeling little baby kick all the time now! It cracks me up! 

This week, I bought the fabric for the crib skirt {making my own because the only ones I like are around Oh $200 on Etsy} and the ties for the bumper {same fabric}.  In other news, I believe we have finalized the name! We won't be revealing {only to a select few} but I will say I am ordering a monogrammed print for his wall this week, which is sort of expensive for a piece of paper, so it's pretty set in stone :-)
Miss Anything? Nope
Movement: Absolutely!
Food cravings: Potatoes, apples, pasta
Anything making you queasy or sick: brisket last night at the wedding.  I got some and then just couldn't stomach it
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: no way

Symptoms: nauseous when I don't eat...still
Belly Button in or out? yikes, can we not talk about this! It's making it's way out into the world
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: So very happy!
Looking forward to: Next Dr. appointment and picking out crib bedding & a mattress sometime soon! I can't wait for the nursery to be complete!

{22 weeks}



How far along? 22 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: close to 10 lbs I think! Pretty proud of myself! And of course baby is now 1 pound! Yay little one, getting bigger!
Maternity clothes? yep

Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: Sleeping very well! I actually took a quick power nap and I never take naps!
Best moment this week: nursery coming together, definitely! Oh it's so very handsome! Mike and my MIL painted and my FIL & Mike put together the crib.  It was such a huge help for us! My mom and I went to Good Ju Ju because I figured I probably shouldn't be around those fumes anyway. When I got home I ran to the room to see and screamed! I started jumping up and down! The color is exactly what I had envisioned for the nursery and so are all the rest of the elements of the room!!

This room gets so much light! It is really coming together  perfectly! And it's just so calming already in there...and really isn't that what you want in a nursery? 
This was taken at night, but on Sunday we bought a new lamp and I LOVE IT!
I bought these sweet little numbers at a couple different antique stores on Saturday.  They'll go on the shelf{s} going above the changing table. 
This week we also booked another photographer, Moments & Memories, to take pictures of our little one when he gets here.  I figure you can't have too many pictures. And the photographer was running a great deal on Facebook!
Miss Anything? Girls slumber party on Friday night made me miss my wine again, but really it's all worth it. 

Movement: Oh yes! He is very active in the morning and evening.  He doesn't move much during the day yet {that I can feel} but I think I just don't notice it because I am so busy.
Food cravings: Red jelly with cream cheese and tortilla chips, chocolate, red peppers, apples!
Anything making you queasy or sick: chicken, last week I was fine with chicken this week it's grossing me out.  Along with all other meat.
Gender: A BEAUTIFUL BOY!
Labor Signs: No thank you.

Symptoms: I feel like my center of gravity is off at times.  I feel myself waddling a bit.
Belly Button in or out? hmmm, good question.  Trying to be a little bit of both.
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!
Looking forward to: March 21st, our next appointment! And some spring weather.  I can't wait for walks in the park and on the Plaza with our boy when it'll be so nice outside! Ahh maternity leave.
