Week 23!!

IMG_4917 (2)

How far along: 23 weeks, size of a grapefruit!

Gender/Name: Girl! Still no name. I really think it will be decided once she is here. I don’t blame people for waiting till they see the baby. I always thought I would know 100% and have her name all over her room, but this is one of the hardest things!

Weight gain: ~10lbs, our scale isn’t the most reliable so I will have to try and remember to weigh myself when I go to the gym next. I’m definitely feeling large!

Maternity clothes: I wore my first pair of real, over the belly maternity jeans this weekend.. Most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever worn! I know, everyone says how comfy they are! But I must have bought the wrong pairs.. I have 1 pair from h&m and 1 pair from Gap.. Both were just not comfy and not cute. I know I’m going to have to find a few good pairs for this fall.. I’m still on the hunt! Speaking of fall, I am SO ready for fall weather, leggings, sweaters & boots.

Sleep: On & Off, I’ve started to get more uncomfortable since I’m getting bigger and I am still waking up around 3/4 and can’t fall back asleep for an hour or so.

Best moment this week: Really getting started on the Nursery! The paint is finished and I have started to buy decor items and I’m ready to get it all set up and all put together for baby girl! Also, having our ultrasound and seeing our baby girl! They measured her legs and she has long legs already, just like her daddy!

Miss anything: Energy, still feeling tired all the time. But feel like I sleep more then normal.

Movement: Yes, Lots of movement!! It’s such a crazy feeling. I was trying to explain it today and the best way to put it is like having butterflies in your stomach, like little flutters but they are getting more dominant every time it happens. I can’t wait for Mitch to feel them too. She was moving like crazy at 3am last night.. Hopefully this isn’t a sign that she is a night owl like her daddy!

Cravings: Fro-Yo! I think I may need to go out and get some this week.The place by my house closed, so I need to find a new location. Also, SO random.. Olive Garden.. I’m making Mitch take me this week. We haven’t had Olive Garden since probably highschool or college but I’ve seen a few commercials and I’m craving their bread sticks.. so bad and so random. But I gotta soak it up while I’m preg!

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Looking forward to: Registering! I know, I say this every week… Well.. we are actually going this week!! Mitch has been busy at work and out of town so we are finally going!

Week 22!!

IMG_4893 (2)

How far along: 22 Weeks! Size of a Papaya. She weighs 1 pound!!!

Gender/Name: Girl! We haven’t decided on a name yet. We have a few favorites but it is such a tough decision!!

Weight gain: At the doctor last week it was 9 lbs! She said I was right on track.

Maternity clothes: I think I am going to need to start purchasing some more stuff. Some of my dresses are becoming too short with the growing belly. And once Fall starts I’m gonna need some more jeans and sweaters! (I am ready for fall to be here… mainly cause baby girl comes this FALL)

Sleep: On & Off. At 3am I’m wide awake. And can’t fall back asleep for about a hour.

Best moment this week: My best friends wedding, we had a fantastic time celebrating. It was a busy week since I was in the wedding but it was so fun to be apart of!

Miss anything: Energy! I’ve been so tired lately.

Movement: Yes! More and More everyday! I’ve been feeling flutters but it definitely is becoming more like Kicks! Last night I felt a kick from the outside of the belly! Hopefully Mitch will be able to feel her soon too!

Cravings: None! I’ve been snacking a lot!

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Nursery Update:  Mitch started painting and adding the crown molding/base boards to the Nursery! I’ve been buying some decor and I’m excited to get the paint done so we can set up the crib and dresser! My mom is going to be making some crib sheets, crib skirt and maybe a few other things. I can’t wait for it all to come together.

Looking forward to: Registering, Baby shower planning, and Baby classes. I registered Mitch and I to take some baby classes (childbirth & child care)!!

How far along: 21 Weeks, size of a carrot!

Gender: It’s a Girl! Started ordering things and shopping! This is going to be dangerous!

Weight gain: ~8lbs ish, I go to the doctor this week so I will know more then. I don’t really trust our scale at home!

Maternity clothes: None really! It’s been so HOT, and being on vacation all last week, Dresses is the best way to go!

Sleep: On & Off

Best moment this week: Vacation! We had a fabulous time relaxing at the beach/pool and eating fabulous food! I shared a few pictures below of our vacation and the bump at the beach;)

Worst moment this week:  None

Miss anything: Ahi Tuna!! While on vacation, Mitch probably had Ahi Tuna (in some form) every dinner.. He really knows how to rub it in.

Movement: Yes!! Feeling tons of flutters and movement. It is the craziest feeling. It’s not quite “kicking” but I am definitely feeling baby girl moving a lot! She has certain times when she is most active. I can’t wait for more and for Mitch to be able to feel it!

Cravings: None

Queasy or sick: Feeling great!!

Current Mood: Happy!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Looking forward to: Registering! We have a busy couple weeks coming up but we are going to try and register soon and I can’t wait! Something about picking out all the little things for baby girl makes it so real! I did start adding things to Pottery Barn Kids.. I couldn’t resist. Also, starting on the Nursery! I have decided on colors and we have been discussing design details! Can’t wait for Mitch to get started on painting, hopefully next weekend!
