17 Weeks!!!

I cant believe that it's been 17 weeks! Time is flying by along with the summer. I kind of dont want the warm weather to end but the sooner it does, the closer I'll be to meeting my little one....A thought that is becoming more and more scary to me. That's normal though right? To be scared as hell to be a parent and have the responsibility of forming who this person will be? Just typing it out is giving me anxiety. LOL.
We had a great checkup last week. Our midwife was able to find the heartbeat of our little Nugget right away and it was a strong 142 beats per minute. Everyone has an opinion on what that heartbeat means...but to be honest I'm just overjoyed each time i hear it :)
More good news! We found a house to rent!!!! Our great friend Jennica is renting us her property. Not only is it in a great area but the house is huge. Perfect for starting our family in. Thanks Jenn! It really is a huge weight lifted off our chests. But now the weight of filling this great house with cute stuff begins. Ah, it's never ending :)-
Pregnancy symptoms of late: My belly is growing by the day. I've gained 7.5lbs so far and it seems to be all in my stomach so I'm feeling really good about my new baby body. Even though it is taking some getting used to...the ever changing figure in the mirror. I hear this normal though. I hope this update finds you all well. Love you!

15 Weeks!!!!

Hello Everyone! 
I thought I'd sneak in a quick blog since my work website is currently down....

Ryan and I bought our 1st baby item last week :) Ryan actually found a wonderful/like new baby glider for the nursery on Craigslist. We will need to recover it to match whatever room theme we decide to go with but it is the same brand as the glider we liked in the store that was close to $700 and the condition is practically perfect! Yay for saving tons of $$$$!

I really look forward to decorating the baby's room. We think we know the theme but until we're sure, I'll just say that it will involve baby animals. shocker right?! haha. I am however stressed about where this cool nursery will be. We are having a really hard time finding a house to rent. Our lease is up at the end of October and everywhere we've walked through just isnt a good fit for us. I'm really worried as to what we're going to do but we cant stay here so something just HAS to work out. Fingers crossed!


Time to vent...Let's see...how do I put this?....Not everyone wants to find out what they're having before they have it!!! I am amazed at the lack of cute unisex anything! You'd think the stores would realize the need for clothing that isnt pink, blue, or yellow. I've looked everywhere multiple times and all i see is crap... with the exception of Baby Gap. Hopefully they'll continue to have great sales so I can actually afford their $50 newborn outfits. LOL


Pregnancy symptoms: Well I was so lucky to not have morning sickness....I think I'm making up for it with my almost daily headaches. They are so terrible that it's hard to see sometimes. They also make me feel nauseous so it's not fun at all. My midwife called me in a prescription for Fioricet which really seems to help but I try to take them only when absolutely necessary because I still don't want my nugget having anything he/she doesn't need. 
Also, my belly is really starting to change. Depending on what I'm wearing, I look more pregnant than other times but there is definitely growth since even last week :) I'm not in maternity wear yet but I certainly have few options from my former closet to choose from. I'm trying to prevent/minimize any stretch marks with a wonderful product called Mama Mio recommended to me by my great friend Stephanie Dezern. We'll see if it works! 


Well I hope all is well with everyone. It's time for me to eat some lunch :)
