25 Weeks

Whew!  25 weeks already!  I know I probably say this every week, but holy crap!  The time is flying by and I can hardly believe it.

This week has been so fun!  He has finally started moving more and more and I can see my belly move in weird ways and feel it at the same time.  I LOVE IT!

It is seriously the best feeling in the world, finally knowing there's a little life in there that's doing just fine! 

We have started to plan for His room, hopefully getting the crib and changing table this weekend.  I can't wait to see it start to fall into place.  It is so fun and exciting to know that we'll have a little baby to call our own living in there come December!

I've gained about 11 lbs thus far and had an appointment today.  His heartbeat was 160 which I thought was a bit high, but apparently it's still normal and ok.  They didn't say anything differently and she said everything looked good, so I'm going to not worry.  We go back in 3 weeks for my 28 week appointment and my glucose testing.  I'm hoping that goes ok so I don't have to go back and do it again!

Everything seems to be progressing just fine and I can't really complain about anything.  So far I love being pregnant, but I know I have a long ways to go.  I think it'll go pretty fast though.

The one with the pregnancy weight gain

Me:  Well, so far I think I've gained the majority of the weight in my belly and a just a little in other places.

Hubby:  Well, you've gained some here too (pointing at my outside thighs) and in your butt.  You know, if you ran more often that would help.

Me:  Wow, gee thanks.. I can't believe you said that!  I think you just won Hubby of the year award!

Obviously, I know he didn't mean it the way it sounded.... Or at least I don't think he did! haha sometimes, they don't think before speaking do they?  I know he's just trying to help so that I'm not miserable post pregnancy! Right?? :-) Of course!

Silent Sundays- Siblings

24 Weeks

It has been a good week.  No complaints here.  This week our Little Mr. has been moving off and on depending on the day.  Usually around lunch time and then sometimes at night.  I wish he would be moving more, but I'm sure in time he will be.  Right now He should be weighing in at about 1.3 lbs and measuring in at 11.8 inches.  He should be growing rapidly at this point, and I swear I am too.

How far along? 24 weeks

 

Total weight gain: A whopping 10 lbs!! Yikes!

Maternity clothes?:  Pretty much for everything

Sleep:  Sleeping is going better, ever since I've added all of the pillows.

Cravings:  Just more food! haha

Best moment this week: It's funny to see/hear the comments people say now.  It's like they can finally tell I'm pregnant and aren't afraid to ask.  Twice this week I've been told that I "walk like I'm pregnant".  I'm not so sure that's a good thing at this point, but eh o well.

Movement: Well, it's on and off... Hoping it'll be more often sooner or late.

Gender: Blue!!!!

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out? Still in, but getting very flat.

What I miss: Some of my old clothes and feeling good about my body.

 

Weekly Wisdom:  I'm low on that again this week, sorry!

Favorite Moments: Starting to buy stuff for the nursery.  We're going to finish our registry this weekend and I cannot wait!

And finally.... The pictures! :-) I am putting one up from last week since I forgot to post it.

And holy crap! Look at that belly!

Bits and Pieces

-Can you believe that I've never had coffee?  I usually start my days off with honey nut cheerios and some milk and then just drink water throughout the rest of the day.

-I'm almost 1/4 done with my internship!! Yeah!  Thank the Lord!

-I'm in my 6th month, holy crap!  When did that happen?  I just realized that the other day when someone asked me how many months along I was and I had to quick figure it out.

-I'm starting to pick up things here and there for our Little Mr.  I'm trying not to buy too many clothes, because I know we'll probably get some for shower gifts (even though I secretly hope we get most the stuff off our registry instead!)

-I'm loving the beautiful weather we're having here in Iowa.  Breezy & high 70's.  Just wonderful!

-To those who were disappointed because I forgot the picture in the week 23 post, I'll make sure to post one for week 24!

-I have an unhealthy secret addiction to One Life to Live.  Seriously, I DVR it and watch it after work even though I know how horrible and stupid it is.

-I CAN NOT WAIT for the fall shows and football to start up. 

-That's all for now, have a wonderful Wednesday night!!

Nursery

We've decided on a theme for the baby's room.  Since his dad is such a nerdy smart guy and is into space type things, we're going with a space theme.  Here is a bit of what we've found so far.

This will be baby boy's bedding.  I actually love it!

Now that we've decided on a theme, I we can start to buy everything add things to our registry.

Since we'll be moving in about 6 months, we're not doing a lot with the walls in the nursery, except hanging a few things on them.  We're going to wait until we get to our new house before we put effort into painting anything on the wall for our little guy.  

I'll still post before and after pics of the nursery, but right now, it's the "catch all" room and is hideous.  I'm hoping we get moving on it in September/October.  We shall see!
