With the showers coming up, I finally got out and registered! Talk about an overwhelming experience! The baby industry is the industry to be in! Everything seems to be so expensive and there are way too many options! I was so thankful that Lauri went with me to help explain it all to me! There are so many brands and types of EVERYTHING! I would NEVER had known what to do - Thanks Lauri!!
Another big "to do" that we marked off was moving the guest rooms around to make room for the Nursery! With me not being able to help move the furniture, we were very thankful that Wylie volunteered to help us! The move and putting together of the crib only took a couple of hours, so not too painful.
I am so in love with the crib and how the bedding is turning out! It's definitely making this very real now! The room is completely empty except for the crib and a few things in the closet, but I go in there a few times a day and just look at it :) I get butterflies every time I walk in there and think about how soon Liam will be here! I will post pics of the full nursery once it's complete, but here is a sneak peak of the crib!
How far along? 22wks
How big is Liam this week? Size of a Papaya!
Total Weight Gain? 12lbs
Maternity Clothes? Mixture of both! Hoping it stays that way for while so I don't have to spend any more money on clothes that I will only wear a few more months! I am ready for warmer weather so I can get into more dresses and Maxi dresses!
Best Moment of the Week? The best part of the week was when Trey finally felt Liam kick for the first time! We have tried a few times before, but Liam seems to get stage fright every time Trey's hand hits my belly. Until Monday night! I was laying on the couch and Liam was moving around like crazy! The second Trey put his hand on my belly he moved, it was so cool! Trey jumped a little and was really excited! It was really a cool feeling! The dad is so removed physically from this whole thing, so it was so fun to have him actually feel what I am feeling all the time.
Trouble Sleeping? Not really right now! I have my nights, but overall, nothing to complain about just yet.
Miss Anything? Not really missing anything too bad that I haven't already mentioned.
Movement? All the time now, and I love it! I am starting to see his daily patterns of when he moves and when he's sleeping. Always active at night around 9pm after I have eaten and when I am laying down. That is when I feel him the most! But I am starting to feel him a lot in the mornings too and anytime after I eat. I love every second of it!
Food Cravings? I think I am beginning to crave sweets a lot now! I have always had a sweet tooth, so it's really nothing new. But I have been wanting to bake all sorts of cookies and brownies lately! I even made Trey and I stop at a Frozen Yogurt store on our way home the other night at like 9pm because I was thinking about Frozen Yogurt with Chocolate toppings the whole way home :)
Belly Button - In or Out? Still in, but stretching...a lot!
Symptoms? Still hungry...which isn't a good thing in regards to the scale. I am starting to see #'s I have never seen before, which is a little scary! But I am also having the infamous pregnancy brain! To be honest, I always thought this was a thought up symptom that got put in women's head, so I really never thought that anyone could actually be more forgetful or fuzzy during pregnancy. It is so true! I have no idea how or why it happens, but my train of thoughts get so fuzzy from time to time and I am always forgetting that one word I need to know...even if its something as easy as FORK! It's the strangest thing!
Wedding Ring - Off or on? On
Happy or Moody? Happy! It has been a great, productive week!
Looking Forward to? Sonogram next Friday!
Love the crib and bedding! The baby bump gets bigger with each new picture. You look great! This is so exciting and I wish I could be there every step of the way! :(
