Survey, a Belly Picture, and the Nursery!

How far along? 24weeks and 5 days

What have you bought for your baby? I've bought a couple of outfits at a consignment store, plus all the stuff we needed to do the room.

Total weight gain/loss? Approximately a 6lb gain.

How are the maternity clothes? I'm in pants ans shirts full time now. Pretty much everything else doesn't accommodate my huge tummy anymore.

Stretch marks?  I still haven't noticed any new ones yet, although it might be hard when I have so many from before

Hows the sleep? It was pretty good until this past week. I'm having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep now.

Best moment this week? Getting the nursery done!

Movement? Oh my goodness, this little guy is going to be some kind of athlete or something. He just goes and goes and goes!

Type of delivery your planning on? Still planning to go med-free! Been trying to read up on pain managment so I can better cope this time. I just hope to avoid the endless back labor this time around!

Biggest change in your body besides belly? My rear is getting even bigger. I didn't know that was possible!

Food cravings? Ice cream.

Sex of baby? It's a boy!!!!

Labor signs? None. Thank God! Baby better be staying put for awhile!

Belly button, in or out? In, for now, but probably not much longer.

What are you missing? Wine. I'm always missing my wine. I don't realize how much of a wino I really am until I'm pregnant/breastfeeding. I'm also missing sleep, and being able to get up from a seated position without grunting!

What are you looking forward to? Appointment on the 31st.

Other updates? How about a bump shot, and some pictures of the nursery?!

Closet curtains are still a bit long... I need to hem those!

NURSERY IS DONE!!!!

Lots going on around here the past few days!

S's nephew has moved in with us for the summer. He got here overnight on Monday and is planning to stay for his summer vacation. S is happy to have him to help out on the farm and I'm happy to have him to help around the house! Haha!

Today I had the day off and I have been going since this morning. I went grocery shopping today to stock up (having a 15 year old in the house I know that I'm going to need lots of it)! Came home and dove into finishing painting the nursery! The floor is now done and tomorrow when I get home from work S and I will be moving the furniture up there! I cannot wait to see what it looks like! It hit me a little hard tonight that... there is going to be a baby in there soon. It's crazy to think that I have less than 15 weeks to go before this baby is here! Sometimes I can't wrap my head around the idea that I'm pregnant and that there is a baby growing inside me! CRAZINESS!

Once we get the furniture up there tomorrow I'll post lots of pictures!

Baby Squishy's Nursery!

I still have to paint the floor! We have a ways to go but getting it painted is a great start!

Let me also say that this room has a lot of history! Both of S's sisters have lived in this room at one point or another and now we're getting it ready for the next generation of the family to live in! Pretty cool, huh?
