Catching Up

It has been such a long time since I last posted and I feel horrible about it.  I thought this would be easy for me to keep track of but it has been the complete opposite for me.  I have not done a chalkboard update or picture since the last one at 9 weeks....I'm a little over 18wks now!  Wow,...I can't believe I'm already here. I'm going to try so very hard to make time for this at least once a week, even if no picture is taken.  

So what's new??

1.) I've made it to the 2nd Trimester which I thought would NEVER get here!  

2.) I'm actually showing a bump now instead of just feeling pudgy.. ;-)

3.) We had an elective US at 15wks and found out we're having a GIRL!!!!

4.) Going in for my Anatomy US on Monday the 23rd...can't wait to see our little girl again!

5.) Nausea has left the building and all I ever want to do is EAT!

6.) Fatigue is pretty much gone accept when I have a very busy day.  On those busy days I usually fall victim to a nap but it's much different than the fatigue I felt during the first few months.

7.) My moods are much more up and down now then they were.....one minute I'm upset and the next I'm feeling great.  I cry at everything.....commercials, movies, and happy things too!  LOL..it's funny.

8.) I'm starting to feel our little one move around.  I have for a couple of weeks now.  She seems to move most often when I'm hungry, first thing in the am, and usually between 10pm-1am or so when I'm laying in bed.  I love it!!  Oh and when I'm around loud noises.  The movement varies though...sometimes I don't feel her all day and I freak out.  It's scary but I know it's normal, I just tell myself she's sleeping.  

9.) My BFF and I decided on a date for the shower which will be in November!  That's right around the corner.

10) I've decided on a nursery theme..pink, grey and white with little baby elephants as accents. All of the nursery furniture will be white, and walls will be grey.  I have tons of ideas on my pinterest page (I love that program) so things should fall into place once I get started.

11.) Crib and Dresser/Changing Table Combo has been chosen, just waiting until confirmation US of gender on Monday before ordering.  

12.) The nursery does not have a closet so we will also be purchasing a wardrobe closet which is similar to an armoire but allows more space for hanging clothes.  

13.) BABYMOON in Houston, TX scheduled for next month!!  We really wanted to entertain the idea of a little Vaca before baby arrives but I wasn't up for flying right now so we decided to stay fairly close to home.  We will be at a nice B&B there and plan on going to the huge mall there and some museums.  BONUS-I've only driven through Houston and love visiting new places!  We are both looking forward to the getaway.

Phew....that's enough for now.

I have chalkboard ready to go, just need hubby to take my pic.  Will get that done along with the milestones that go with it later this week.

Thanks for reading!
