How Far Along: Last Saturday marked 26 weeks
Size of Baby: 2.2 pounds, 15 inches
Weight Gain: 22 lbs
Stretch Marks: Nope!
Maternity Clothes: Loving that fall weather is allowing me to break out my boots with some of my maternity dresses. I also purchased a pair of skinny jeans and a dress from Old Navy, but I have vowed to my husband (not by his request - by my own) that I will not make any more maternity purchases unless I find a good deal at a thrift store or something because it won't be too much longer and I will be able to wear normal clothes again! I know that I might not fit right back into my pre-baby clothes and I'm totally okay with that, but I want to have some wiggle room in my budget to purchase a pair of jeans or a few tops in a bigger size if need be.
Gender: Sweet baby boy!
Movement: One night this week he woke me up with the hiccups! Hubby still hasn't felt him though. :o(
Sleep: Earlier this week my husband and I ordered from a restaurant and ate some tartar sauce that had been left out too long. Needless to say we were a little under the weather for 2 days and that really prevented me from getting a good night's sleep. By mid-week I was feeling back to normal and slept much better!
Missing: Still nothing. Still loving every minute that I'm given during these 9 months. I couldn't be more happy.
Loving: The fact that in just 3 months (or less) I will have a baby! It hit me the other day while at a fall festival with a friend that this time next year I will have a 9 month old to take apple picking, pumpkin patching, and strolling through fair food vendors with. Yay!
Craving: Warm, home-cooked meals. My crockpot has been on blast the past 2 weeks. I've made several new recipes (not all with be on the blog because not all are "perfected" yet) and several home cooking staples that are much easier in the crockpot.
Feeling: Much better now that the tartar sauce fiasco is out of my system. Starting to swell more so I'm a little nervous about my next doctor visit. I feel like it is very early for me to be swelling already. However, I am a teacher and I do stand on my feet all day so I can totally understand where that swelling is coming from. I'm trying to be better about sitting more and propping my feet up especially on my planning periods.
Looking Forward: This weekend we are painting the nursery. I'm also going fabric shopping for curtains and such since that didn't happen earlier this week.
Best Moment(s): Walking through the fall festival and finding several amazing, handmade toys for our bambino for fantastic prices! Call me an old soul, but I love the whole concept behind dolls and push toys and Lincoln logs and such. And handmade is right up my alley. Also purchase what I think is the last of the nursery decor for a fantastic price from Just Artifacts. Hoping I am pleased with the product!
2 of the toys I got baby boy at the festival. I am thinking his Christmas is done - and is it weird to you that I am having gifts for him under the tree just in case he decides to come early?
It's not to me, so if it is just judge in your head. ;o)
Ummmm....I couldn't leave this chair at the festival! For the price there was no way it wasn't coming home for his nursery.
My husband gets pictures like this while I'm out thrifting. I had run after school and then hit it up on the way home. I'm loving blazers and you can't beat a blazer for $3.50.
That apple cider slushie was amazeballs. I said it.
Can't wait to see some crockpot recipes. I am always looking for ways to do easy home cooked meals. I love going to the Good Will except I spend so long there. You can find great stuff there.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those wooden toys. I'm on the hunt for some too. And that blazer? I'm so jealous! I went to a thrift store yesterday hoping to score something amazing for super cheap and nada. I don't think I have it in me
ReplyDeleteIt's going by so fast! I'm loving all the new items for baby G.
