24 Weeks & Growing!

By




We're 24 weeks today!  Mommy and Daddy agree that mommy's tummy grows more and more each day.  Makes sense, as Baby F is supposed to be growing an average of 6 ounces per week for the next month!  Mommy's back is certainly noticing the extra weight.  According to our scale, mommy has gained 11lbs so far (although we'll double check that at our next doctor's appointment!).  Mommy is still craving nacho cheese and anything sweet (as a matter of fact Daddy has cookies baking in the oven for Mommy right now!  What a sweetie!).  Fatigue has set in again!  Yesterday I took a 2 hour nap mid-day, but we had a busy weekend with visiting family, so Daddy reminded me to use that excuse!

The nursery is coming along, we finished it off with a nice chocolate brown rug today.  I'll have to get in there soon and take some photos.  We've also got the walls done (minus a quote to go over the crib--I just haven't decided on one yet!).  Tonight I finished a project I've been working on since last week.  I am a terrible artist, but found this to be really relaxing... and I don't think they turned out too bad!

Closet Dividers


Everything is going well and coming together.  It certainly is exciting!  Pregnancy becomes much more real when you have a nursery and your belly is visible with a shirt on.  We are still debating on names, although I've been having lots of dreams about the name Levi.  I've had one dream where I see our son's face and we decide to name him Levi.  Then I had another where we were at home with the baby and calling him Levi.  So, I guess we will see... (although I think Daddy would prefer the name Aisen).

Next doctor's appointment is Thursday the 18th!  It's time for my blood glucose test, so wish us luck with that.  We will keep everyone posted...

Cute closet dividers -- did you draw the animals or are they cutouts? Good idea.

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

By
We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

By
So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?! Bedding        Mobile, plays Rock-A-Bye Baby Close up of bedding/mobile   Sheet (Kevin was worried it's not "manly" enough, I had to convince him it is giraffe print and NOT leopard, which it is, if you loo...
