Maternity clothes? Some mixed in.
Stretch marks? Not yet…the mystery one from last week disappeared!

Best moment this week: Again nothing really specific. Just happy to see a new day each day.
Miss Anything? Sleeping. Eating.
Movement: He has been super active this week!
Food cravings: I have changed my diet sooo much this week because of the reflux issue..so yes…I am craving everything now.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No.

Belly Button in or out? Trying so hard to pop out…
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Scared. But thankful.

Looking forward to: An ultrasound next week..love to see my little guy!

How far along? 24 weeks.

Total weight gain: 13-14 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Yes! Thank you, Target.
Stretch marks? I think I see a hint of one creeping up!! Oh well…all worth it!
Sleep: I am still having problems with this…always wake up having turned onto my back. And always have to wake up to pee!
Best moment this week: Nothing specific, just waking up each day to a new day.
Miss Anything? Sleeping normally!
Movement: Still not quite as much as before, but I love being able to feel and see it when he does.
Food cravings: ICE CREAM! I NEVER eat ice cream and always thought the pregnancy “craving” was just an excuse to eat it…but I had a craving for it and now can’t stop!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nada at the moment.
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Just constantly having to pee!
Belly Button in or out? In…but I can see a difference for sure..
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Thankful for each day but worried about the future.

Looking forward to: Our Babymoon in August!

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!
