Week 20-23


Size of the Baby: Grapefruit 

Gender: Boy! 

Maternity Clothes:  
Bathing suites are NO fun! It was also a real struggle getting it together for the first two weddings of the seasons! I've also found a boutique I really like pinkblush maternity :)  

Nursery: Wes put the crib together, we got the rocker in, and baby D's wonderful "CC" (my mom) bought him a changing table. We also got an awesome antique Ford tailgate from Poppie (Wes' dad) that we can't wait to use!! We've painted shades of green, blue, and tan on the wall. Unfortunately after doing that we decided we hate all of them and  liked the original blue gray color that was already in there the best. Whoops! I'm still working on deciding which fabric samples I like best (and which are "manly" enough) 

Movement: 
He moves all the time :) I love it and Wes has been able to feel him a few times too! 

Symptoms:  No more morning sickness!!! I've been feeling really good! (knock on wood!) Aside from testing out every bathroom in the Raleigh and Wake Forest area I've got no complaints! 

Sleep: 
Sleeping pretty well.  Still with lots of pillows ...... and LOTS of trips to the bathroom. 

Cravings: Still loving crushed ice and cherry limeades! Snow balls and sour patch kids are also a recent weakness!   

What I Miss:   Drinking. Especially at my cousins wedding last weekend! 


Best Moments This Week: Working on the nursery! Also shopping with me mom ... we went a little crazy in the carters outlet  :)  

Looking Forward To: 
Little guy getting here! Hurry up October! 
                      


Week 19 

It's a boy!!!! (....and I don't think Wes has stopped grinning since we left the ultra sound!) 

Size of the Baby: Mango

Gender: Sweet baby boy :) I was so wrong! 

Maternity Clothes:  Thankful for friends and a wonderful sister in-law for sharing their hand me downs but still having a difficult time accepting this transition!  

Nursery:  Nothing..... 


Movement: 
I felt him for the first time at about 18 weeks! That was before I knew he was a he :) 

Symptoms:  Finally starting to show a little! and still morning sickness ... 

Sleep: 
Give me 8 pillows and I'm sleeping like a baby all night. 

Cravings:  Peanut butter 

What I Miss: Drinking diet sodas without getting dirty looks!

Best Moments This Week: 
Finding out our sweet baby is a boy and sharing the exciting news with friends and family! Both our moms came to the ultra sound with us which was very special! 

Looking Forward To: Getting his nursery together!
