Coming along...

The nursery is coming along nicely. Here is the room with the drywall up and ready to be mudded:

The belly is coming along too...

Here is my husband & I:

This is kind of a random post but I just thought I'd share :)

Here we are, 25 weeks!!!

Belly Measurement: 37 3/4"

Nothing new has really happened lately symptoms wise. Every week that passes by is so exciting! Our little love is going to be here before we know it. I have to admit that ever since I heard the words "it's a girl" I've been a little shopping crazy. This little sugar plum is going to have so many clothes! I just can't resist those adorable little girly things :) Nursery progress is moving along, which I'm excited about. We ordered the new windows and they'll be in in two weeks. I'm also excited for my baby shower that my sister in law is throwing me in Massachusetts March 27th and my mom is throwing me one here in Pennsylvania April 10th. I feel so thankful for this gift that God has given me.

Nursery Project

We have ALOT of work to do on the nursery to get it ready. We're ripping the paneling off the walls, putting drywall up, putting new trim on and painting it white, replacing the windows, carpeting, redoing the closet, and painting the walls. Phew! My husband and my dad started the project today. Here are the before pics:

This is going to be our crib & dresser/changing table:

And the bedding:

I'm excited to start this project and can't wait to see the end product! I'll be taking more pictures as we go :)

24 weeks

37 1/4"

As far as symptoms go, I'm getting really bad heartburn lately. Thank goodness for Tums! She is moving around like CRAZY, especially when it's time for bed. Speaking of bedtime, it's not my favorite time these days. I just can't seem to get comfortable and last night I layed awake for a long time before I fell asleep.

I got Avery's coming home outfit:

I can't wait to see her in it :) 16 weeks to go!

23 weeks

Wow, am I 23 weeks pregnant already?! This pregnancy seems to be flying by ever since the second trimester began. It gets more exciting each week because I can feel her kicks becoming stronger :) The rolling movements feel so weird! My belly is also growing fast and is so itchy. I'm making sure that I keep my skin moisturized, especially since it's winter time. I definitely need to buy some more maternity clothes because one pair of maternity jeans and one maternity shirt just aren't cutting it. I found some basic long tank tops from Aero.postale that are great for going under shirts that aren't long enough anymore. I really like the long sleeved maternity shirts at Old.Navy too, and they're only $10! Here is my weekly belly pic:




Belly Measurement: 37"

20 weeks and 2 days

35 1/2"

This week I'm noticing that I can see her kicking on the outside of my belly now. My husband saw it a few times so that is awesome for him to see. I have my doctors appointment tomorrow morning :)

19 weeks, 4 days

Here is my belly now:

35 1/4"

I've been feeling alot of cramps and soreness, so she must be growing in there! My husband got to feel her move for the first time last week :) Her pokes are starting to feel stronger, so that's exciting. She always moves alot when I lay down to go to bed so I look forward to that every night. I'm not having any new symptoms lately. I decided I'm going to do a weekly update from now on with a picture and belly measurement so I'll have that to look back on. I'm having my husband take a picture every month, but it'll be fun to see my belly grow from week to week in pictures. My next doctors appointment is December 18th (next Friday). I'm excited to hear her heartbeat again! It's amazing how much I love her already. <3
