Our kid has a BED!!!

We ordered our nursery furniture tonight! My mom and her boyfriend were gracious enough to offer to buy our baby furniture, and we had planned on ordering it this past weekend... but they went to Naples and it just didn't happen. So tonight, they called me with the credit card info so we could order with them on the phone..... and then the meltdown started!

They were sold out of the set we had planned to buy...and it had been discontinued! WTF? How the H-E-L-L did that happen in a matter of like three days?! Cue full on pregnant girl ugly cry. I mean big, giant tears. My husband actually laughed at me! Not cool.

So after composing myself, we tried to salvage the night and see what else was out there. We didn't want to spend a ton, regardless of who was paying, and fortunately we all easily agreed upon an even nicer set that was a bit more expensive, but definitely still a good price in comparison to what I have seen at BRU and BBB.

So glad to finally have this big purchase taken care of, and so grateful to my mom and Roy for gifting it to baby C!

25w4d!

How far along are you? 25w4d

How big is baby? The size of an eggplant.

Maternity clothes?  Yup

Weight loss or gain?  I weighed myself yesterday morning so I wouldnt freak out at my OB appt in the afternoon. I am up about a pound and a half from two weeks ago. According to the OB's scale though, I actually weighed less than at my last appt... but we all know thats bc I had stuffed my face and eaten my body weight in cheesecake that day. 

Stretchmarks?  none. 

Sleep?  Pretty good actually. We finally kicked the pups out of the bed about three nights ago. It was just getting too crowded now that I am getting bigger, and using the body pillow. I felt like a terrible dog mom after the first night because Charlotte whined all night.... but they did much better the last two nights and actually seem to be paying more attention to one another. Hopefully, we haven't traumatized them too much!

Best moment this week? Clearing out the old guestroom to make into a nursery!

Any movement?  constantly now. <3

Food cravings?  chipotle :P

Food aversions?  Subway, lol.

Belly button in or out? outie

What do you miss? nothing really. I am loving being pregnant right now. :)

What are you looking forward to? The furniture arriving, and getting the nursery arranged. 

What was the BEST part of this week?  We went out to dinner to my favorite place for Valentine's Day... I had the best steak!

What is the WORST part of this week?  Just being tired. 

Milestones:  I think just knowing that he is viable and has the chance of surviving should anything happen at this point is such a relief!

V-day tomorrow!

How far along are you? 23w6d, but bc I am late this week... the photo is from 23w4d. Baby C is viable tomorrow!!

How big is baby? Well, I've had the bump tell me that I am the size of a grapefruit, a cantaloupe and a papaya... so who knows! I am going with a grapefruit this week though!

Maternity clothes?  Yup

Weight loss or gain?  I had a minor meltdown on Wednesday evening after I went to my OB appt. The nurse told me I had gained a whopping 8 lbs since my last appt two weeks prior. I wanted to cry! Granted, it was at 6pm at night and I had downed a TON of water that day, and it was also the same day as our Dining Etiquette Luncheon at school so I ate a lot. 

I weighed myself the next morning when I woke up at home, and it said I was 5 lbs lighter than the night before. My home scale and the OB's office have always been pretty consistent so I am hoping I was just retaining a ton of water/food when I had my appt. ::sob::

Stretchmarks?  none. 

Sleep?  This is the first week that I've had a hard time sleeping. It's no longer confortable to sleep on my stomach or back. I try sleeping on my side, but then I just wake up with a sore back. I need one of those pregnancy sleep pillows!

Best moment this week? Riding to work with DH in the morning and evening. His car has been in the shop so we've been carpooling. I actually really enjoy it a lot bc we get to talk without distraction.

Any movement?  DH has started feeling his little kicks and punches this week!

Food cravings?  Monday night I got a major craving for Arby's so DH and I headed on over for some roast beef sandwiches and curly fries! ::NOMS::

Food aversions?  Shocker, I am not thrilled with goat cheese this week, lol. 

Belly button in or out? outie

What do you miss? Not having a sore back when I walk. :/

What are you looking forward to? My first Saturday off since the New Year. I have been in class all day on Saturday, but it ended last week!

What was the BEST part of this week?  Quality time with DH. 

What is the WORST part of this week?  Being exhausted every night.

Milestones:  Picking out baby shower invites with my mom this weekend! EEEk!

Here's the adorable onesie I bought this week to take baby C home in. I think it is sooooo fitting!
