26 Weeks
Thursday, August 2, 2012
How far along? 26 weeks.
Total weight gain: 14.5 pounds gained was the official
word at this week’s appointment. But I have probably put on an extra five since
then…couldn’t resist a Mooyah turkey burger for lunch today... Moooo.
Maternity clothes? Some of my regular clothes and some
maternity items along with a few normal items in slightly larger sizes! The dress
in this week’s pic was an online order…a risk I don’t usually take with
clothes! It fits perfectly though with room to grow, and I don’t even have to
hem it up which is the miracle of all miracles! I love it!
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Sigh. Sleep. How I miss you.
Best moment this week: Seeing a 3D glimpse of Baby Trent at our doctor’s appointment. He kept his hands mostly in front of his face, but we did get to see his cute little mouth! Also getting my haircut…it has been at least four months…I could not go another day. Definitely right up there with the ultrasound for best moment of the week.
Miss Anything? Just sleeping really…and swimsuits...
Movement: Yep..tons!
Food cravings: I have relaxed a little bit after starting on some reflux medication. I still can not get enough peanut butter which I’m sure many people would shake their finger at me for…I’m sorry!! I try to limit it, but I just have SUCH cravings for it.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Reflux.
Belly Button in or out? I think I would consider it half and half at this time. Does that make me an optimist?
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and excited. Can’t believe I still have like three months left…but I’m thinking it will go pretty quickly.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Sigh. Sleep. How I miss you.

More Nursery Updates and....The Name!
Sunday, July 1, 2012
This weekend we worked on a project I have been dying to do for a while....a super cute frame wall! I have plans to put a few things in the middle of some of the frames, but I am starting to like them empty! We will have to see. Matt also put together this shelf and found another monkey item to add to the collection :)
We also decided we are not that bothered to share the first name now...especially via blog since I am still sticking at a whopping FOUR followers, two or three of which probably already know or have guessed the name by now anyway! The River Trent runs through Matt's hometown of Nottingham, and he has always loved the name. I fell in love with it when he told me years ago, and we are so excited to finally get to use it! These are just those plain brown papier mache letters from Hobby Lobby that I covered and modge podged with scrapbook paper.
So there you have it...getting closer and closer to being finished! Still have to iron the curtains and do the edging/molding along with a few other touches like a mirror and some other wall art, but all the major stuff is done! Yay! We were going to recover an ottoman for the glider, but on one of our many Target trips we stumbled across this PERFECT orange one that is a storage ottoman, super light and was only $17! Can't beat that!

First Nursery Pics!
Monday, June 25, 2012
This weekend we went to town painting the nursery! There are still a few edging/molding things to go, but it is mostly done! We set up the bedding and a few other things to see how it was all going to come together, and so far we love it! I got the colors and striped walls I wanted, and Matt got a few monkey touches that he wanted (more of those to be added, I'm sure)...way to compromise! Now comes the fun part..all the wall decor and special touches. More to come!
Bevo is LOVING the rug...might have to buy another!
Glider/swiveler we bought on awesome floor sample sale...just have to recover an ottoman now to match the room. And my favorite little Fox stuffed animal...I have had my eye on him for over a year now!
IKEA dresser we bought for SUPER cheap in the "damaged" clearance section with just a small scratch on it...BEFORE....
