Week 25

Too much to type and too much going on...i promise i will add more in week 26's post, but its been a busy two weeks. Between trying to refinance our house, getting ready for the appraiser to come, organizing the basement, getting paint and painting the nursery, buying and picking up our glider, finishing up the registry, finally picking out and purchasing the furniture, and working we've barely had time to breathe...but its been a good feeling to get so much done!

I'll attach my week 25 pic along with the pictures of the furniture for now...then pictures of the glider and paint with week 26...

The pieces of furniture we got were the tall dresser and the small changer dresser beside the crib, and we didnt go with the crib in the picture, but with the other one i attached from the same designer...all in the cinnamon color thats in the full room's shot.

oh yeah....and my face is starting to gain the weight too...cant say i'm surprised...food has been my best friend lately...i need to calm down!

Week 24

6 MONTHS! OH MY GOSH! I cannot believe it. Actually i can cause i'm starting to realize how much we still have to do...

This week coming up we'll probably be picking out the paint color finally, buying our glider and maybe buying our furniture. Big steps this week!

Todd and i had a fun little day downtown this past weekend and got to see the history museum and a little play but beyond that not too much else going on!

Week 23

So our internet adapter got shot a while ago so i havent been able to get on the internet for a few days...talk about having a revelation to your addiction. Man. being forced to NOT be on the internet was TORTUROUS! Anyway week 23 was a fun week. Had our 5 month check up on the 3rd. All was great. Baby is doing wonderful. I've gained 17 lbs to date. Not too bad but my last two appts i gained 7 a piece so i just have to make sure i'm watching going forward. Been drinking more water to try to help the cramping/contraction deal and does seem to help. Also seems to help avoiding laying on my back.

Baby has been super active lately and definitley camping out on my right side. Its very weird to be able to feel kicking in two different places now. i'll get a kick up near my ribs and at the same time feel it under my belt line. Its so neat.

Also realizing i have an abundance of black shirts...oh well :D

Another fun point of the week was probably my last get together with Tara before her little fun bun comes! She's due Feb 16th but we went out on Saturday the 31st to do a little last minute shopping with her and also so she could give me some tips on some of the stuff she put on her registry. We had a great time and took one last pregnancy picture together! She's too cute!

That's about it for this week!

Week 22

I'm horrible and slacking on posting the pictures. The days seem to be flying by anymore...sorry this is so late, but we were a little busy celebrating a SUPERBOWL VICTORY!!!!

Movement has been great lately...so much kicking and rolling and its all just been pretty awesome. Last Monday i started having some tightening pains, more just uncomfortable little feelings as opposed to pains, but i got them a lot on MOnday then they seemed to fade a little on Tuesday and have continued ever since. I ended up calling the nurse to make sure i wasnt missing something or doing something wrong and she just said its braxton hicks contractions which was common in the second trimester and that i just needed to up my water intake and take it easy. Well i'm already taking it easy so the water was my main issue. I'm better about it now and it does seem to have helped a little. i'm still getting them here and there throughout the day, but not like that first day.

Besides that Todd and I have just been having fun putting things on my stomach and watching them move, we're easily entertained :D
