Week 22

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , .

This week has been pretty quiet. Not much going on overall. Our little one is moving more, mostly ALL night. I caught a little cold this week and haven’t been sleeping well so I’ve noticed lots of wiggles.

Hubby has been moving furniture around with room mates help. The baby furniture has been sitting in the living room driving me crazy for weeks so I’m glad to get these things moved to the nursery.

Visited Mom’s grave on Mother’s Day with Dad and my brother. After, hubby and I had a late breakfast with his mom and step dad. I highly recommend making a fruit galette if you like fruit and pie. Perfect excuse to have pie for breakfast!

 Mom’s iris garden seems to be mourning too. They didn’t come up as well this year.

 Apricot, nectarine, black berry, blue berry, cinnamon and sugar wrapped in pie dough. This one isn’t baked yet but it went so fast I didn’t have time to get a final photo.

My first Mother’s Day gift from hubby.

 Handmade glass heart.

Week 21

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

Baby seems to be having a lot of hiccups lately along with her kicks or punches. Monday she was super quiet all morning without the usual pre-lunch kicks which made me worry a little after over doing it a little Sunday but right after lunch she got in her kicks and then started in with which I can only describe as twitches. Looking for online info I found that these are usually hiccups. For the first time this was visible on the outside. Of course when she isn’t moving I’m freaking out, haha.

One of these days I’ll learn that sugary treats don’t agree with pregnant me. A co-worker brought these amazing chocolates from Hawaii (you know the ones!) and I indulged, more than once.  E-V-E-R-Y time I ate one I got a terrible sugar rush where my head felt like it was buzzing and wanted to explode. Sometimes a little protein before hand, like cheese, will prevent this kind of thing but it really would be best to avoid artificial sugars. Not looking forward to the glucose test, oy.

Wednesday we moved our bedroom back into the master bedroom. Slept wonderfully with the ceiling fan on and the window open….and ear plugs of course. There Is a busy road on the other side of our wall but I didn’t notice at all! There is still plenty to do in our new bedroom but it’s livable. On to painting the nursery!

Thursday’s doctors appointment was a lot of fun seeing our little girl again. She almost didn’t cooperate for the ultrasound but after a little giggling my belly she moved so the tech could see her spine and heart. She’s a healthy, active little peanut. Can’t wait to meet her in September!

In other news, this week we cleared out and prepped the nursery and now will need to decide on paint colors. But next weekend we have a lot going on for Mother’s Day weekend so painting will have to wait a little longer.

Week 20

This week we brought the crib and dresser home. Oy, really should have taken a photo of that craziness. I’ve never seen that much cardboard and foam in one place before. The stroller also arrived and I’m tentatively loving it, the Valco Zee. My only concern with it so far is the basket got stuck once while opening it. Of course I was showing it off at the time so it “would” malfunction.

Our bedroom is basically ready for us to move into now but Sunday I over did things and had to spend the evening resting instead of moving. As long as everything is moved to the proper rooms before Mother’s Day weekend I’ll be ok with the progress.

This little guy showed up on my desk a few weeks ago and I just had to show him off.

Painting our room

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , .

The last few weeks we’ve been working on painting our room and reverting it back from a craft room. It’s taking longer than I’d like although hubby would probably say he expected it to take longer :) I’m terrible with time estimates. The current version of “the plan” is to move into the bedroom this weekend and start work on the nursery.

Our room almost finished.

Comparing the Belly

Week 20, Week 11, and Week 6.

Nothing glamours here but it’s harder to see size differences with a baggy shirt in the way.

Week 19

I can’t say I look any different here than compared to the week 17 photo but I sure feel bigger!

Oh my! This week we went to a JBF consignment sale and came out with a lot! Baby clothes, a boppy pillow, maternity clothes, baby toys, diaper warmer (the one recommended by another shopper), and a glider chair with ottoman that we plan to refurbish. The next one will be in September so we probably won’t make it to that one but I’m looking forward to attending again in the spring.

The glider and ottoman have already been widely accepted by cat and baby trials. I rather enjoyed knitting it it too :)

Week 18

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , .

Things have been pretty quiet with baby this week. Mostly I’ve been more tired and resisting sleep which really caught up to me over the weekend. My body said enough is enough and put me to bed for most of the weekend which really cut into prepping our bedroom to paint the other half. Finishing our room has just become very important because Friday we ordered baby’s furniture which will be here sometime in the next two weeks. Another exciting step was having the crib set arrive in the mail. We finally settled on a theme for baby’s room which is different than what I’d expected but I’m loving it. Purple ladybugs and butterflies. We still plan to have red ladybugs and green frogs around but will probably limit that to baby’s bathroom.

Saturday afternoon was busy too but can’t go wrong with lunch. A photo with the us two pregnant ladies with hubby peaking over my shoulder.

It a Gril!

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , .

We’re super excited to announce our little potential is a girl :)

We’re already calling her by name and it seems she’s almost real! Despite all the morning sickness and weird things the last few months it is always more real after an ultrasound where the little one is visible.  She’s definitely real and letting me know with lots of tickles and light kicks.

She even showed off her little hand.

We think she’s the cutest thing already!

Week 16

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , .

This week was a very fun week. I had hoped for more sunshine to take picture in but we had to work with the 10 minutes.

Grandma sent me this pretty top and I had to show it off.

Also, we all got to meet a new addition to the family with my cousin’s little girl, Johanna Belle.

With a cutie like this around it’s really kicked hubby and I into baby mode. Week 17 we find out the gender so I’ll update soon with the exciting news :)

Week 15 and Early 16

Posted by cheryl in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , .

All week I’ve had a lot of tickles and itches and pressure on my right side. My guess is that baby is growing and pushing everything up out of its way. My reasoning is the weird flash nausea that started at the beginning of week 15.

Still no picture update but week 16 will definitely have pictures.

Over the weekend I started prepping our bedroom to paint. Nothing happens quickly around here, especially with the 9pm enforced (by baby) bed time.

In other news, on day one of week 16 I’m mostly sure I was getting a good kicking!  :D
