gracie headband & barrettes

  • Weighty Issues: Up to 125 lbs now, still right on track yay! total gain so far-12 lbs
  • Stretch Marks: Sadly found one really tiny one not on my belly though so thats good 
  • Sleep: Lets not go here... I really don't even know how to explain my sleep. Its hard to fall asleep and then I wake up to go pee or because I have heartburn and then I can't fall back asleep and then then the husband gets up for work early and then I'm awake from that and then I fall asleep again but I end up sleeping in because I couldn't fall asleep in the first place... whats a girl to do?!
  • Best Moment this week: Lots more kicks-harder ones that I can see and feel on the outside of my belly. Patrick got to feel more of them, he barely felt one a couple of weeks ago. Oh and I feel when she turns too! 
  • Food: Need to eat more when I'm at home. I just get so wrapped up in what I'm doing and then nothing sounds good. By the way almost everything gives me gross heartburn, so I have now resorted to carrying Tums in my purse. 
  • Clothes: Loved last weeks warm weather, it was great for my wardrobe. The wind we have now sucks, back to layers.. 
  • Labor signs: Had some Braxton Hicks on one day, nothing to worry about just extremely annoying. 
  • Belly Button:  Still looking cute, minus my belly button piercing scar. 
  • What I miss: Normal sleep a little but not enough to aggravate me. 
  • What I’m looking forward too: Garage sale this weekend to get rid of all the junk I have piled up in our hallway and in our car. It will make for a fresh clean home :) 
  • Weekly Wisdom: Motivation has to come from within.. Just where does it come from though lol. 
  • Weekly WTH: Where did all this junk I'm getting rid of come from.. 
  • Nesting: Huge Spring clean out in progress, this can only be related to nesting and the face that I am home full-time now. Oh yes it is a blessed wonderful new thing! I feel like a new woman, God definitely intended for me to be a Mom :)
  • Milestones: Baby will soon be in head down position and stay that way till birth.

baby girl's room inspiration

  • Weight Issues: Still on track, probably could stand to gain a little more even. Biggest goal this week is to up my fluid intake.

  • Stretch Marks: None.. yayayayay!

  • Sleep: I've been taking more naps to help equate with the lack of sleep at night. Horrible heartburn episodes some nights where I basically wake up coughing and spitting out heartburn spit, lovely right?!

  • Best Moment this week: Just the general hope I have for the future of our family

  • Food: Enjoying lots of carbs, omega 3's and some protein mixed in this past week was a much better food week. Just have to get back to my breakfast routine.

  • Clothes: Yoga pants have been good to me. More consistent good weather would allow me to bust out more leggings and dresses, one can only hope.

  • Belly Button: It is squishy and the rest of my belly is firm. Weird contrast between the two.

  • What I miss: Nothing.

  • What I’m looking forward too: Possible babymoon to Chi-town where we will visit friends, experience a new city and celebrate my 24th!

  • Weekly Wisdom: Family first

  • Weekly WTH: I had a toothache, not fun... but it went away which is great since I don't have dental insurance right now plus i'm beginning to live off of Tums. *Awesome pregnancy fact: the more heartburn you have the more hair baby will have*

  • Nesting: Cooking more, cleaning more and actually staying on top of the laundry. Something is definitely different.

  • Milestones: What, what... Baby is the length of corn

  • Weighty Issues: On track and worked out once and went for a walk, now to add more!

  • Stretch Marks: Still none! :)

  • Sleep: Has been feeling better but now I will be completely off a normal sleep schedule due to my work schedule

  • Best Moment this week: Just knowing and embracing that we will be having a sweet baby girl

  • Food: Why is it that only cheeseburgers and fries sound good to me? Mexican food is sounding good again, except Chipotle it just does not fulfill my taste buds anymore.

  • Clothes: Maternity everyday now, not bothering to try regular jeans. I have mixed in non-maternity tees, tanks and loungewear/pjs though.

  • Belly Button: Flat, its so cool (to me at least).

  • What I miss: Peace... Nothing to do with my pregnancy, but my job has been aggravating and stressful, really not looking forward to going back on Friday

  • What I’m looking forward too: Just enjoying this time, really would love to find a new apartment asap and really excited for a baby shower in the future

  • Weekly Wisdom: Family first

  • Weekly WTH: once again job...

  • Nesting: I love when I have nesting moments. Already ordered little lady a bunch of hair things and an ABC's poster for her room. Last week was Give & Get at work, so lets not discuss clothes :) or maybe we should cause they are adorbs! These were added to baby girls wardrobe plus a really cute stuffed horse:

Fringe Sandal

  • Milestones: Um... I'm more tired lol.

  • Belly Button: Almost completely flat 
  • What I miss:  Nothing other than regular energy...
  • What I’m looking forward too: Receiving the hair bows I just ordered for the little lady! Still looking for a new place.. so no nursery yet :( I have decided to stick with my unisex theme though and just add in touches of girl.
