We reached an exciting milestone today! It is officially 99 days until our due date, and I am thrilled to be down to double digits! Time has gone by so quickly from the beginning and I hope it keeps going just as fast because I am getting so excited to meet our little man :)
I finally got registries set up at Babies R Us and Target, which felt like a major accomplishment because for some reason it felt so much more overwhelming than our wedding registry. Probably because I've never had a baby and don't really know what I need. I really don't want our house to become a total kid zone with lots of unnecessary stuff sitting around so I tried to keep that in mind.
I guess I should probably get around to the nursery one of these days... it has finally cooled off a little bit, so it doesn't seem like such a daunting task anymore. The biggest problem now is that I am so indecisive about every little thing - I don't think I've ever been so confused about paint colors, rugs, furniture, etc. Still, I'm confident that it will turn out great, mostly because my mom is helping me :) She's great at matching fabrics, picking paint colors, and most of all, SEWING! I'm thrilled that there will be handmade touches throughout the nursery.
Oh, and finally there is a new update to the baby's "fruit size":
It's pretty crazy to start thinking about the baby in terms of pounds rather than ounces, but it's also very exciting. It seems so hard to believe that we're approaching the third trimester!
His movement in there has been so much more consistent these days and I love being able to share it with Adrian. He can feel the baby and has also had a couple opportunities to SEE the movement, which is so much fun. Sometimes my belly moves like crazy like he's just trying to bust out of there! I loved watching Adrian's reaction the first time I told him to watch my belly for a minute and the baby just pushed it all over the place. It has truly been such a great bonding experience for us as we marvel at the fact that we're bringing this little life into the world together.
Tomorrow will actually be 26 weeks, so there will be another post soon :)
haha there is NO getting around the Kid zone your house will become... it's incredible. our house is an organized mess of baby stuff - but it is EVERY where... i think the only room that hasn't been taken over (yet) is the basement! Registries are VERY overwhelming and it truly is because you don't know what you need... I think I went through and altered our registries all the way until the end (so get used to it). Enjoy the pregnancy because it really flies by... hell, I feel like I just told our family we were expecting and now he's 2 weeks old!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your nursery - can't wait to see pics. I loved doing Brycen's nursery and I am so pleased with how it turned out... definitely not what I envisioned in the beginning!
