The nursery isn't complete and I still need to get my house in tip top shape! I also feel like I'm missing some necessities. I did buy a box of wipes at Costco, so that's one thing down. Baby shower location has been set and I completed the evite for that. Since we don't know the gender of the baby, we're going with a "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" theme, incorporating gold and white! These are also 2 of my favorite colors so know they will be incorporated in Baby B's room.
This was a pretty difficult week for me loves. This was probably one of my worst weeks in my pregnancy as far as symptoms. The new school year started this week so that placed an extra stress in my life. My job is going through a lot of changes this year and we are just trying to work them out. Also, I've had the hardest time sleeping and staying awake. I wake up really early for work and then start to crash not even midday. It's terrible! I've also felt a lot of stretching this week so that tells me I'm going to start having a growth spurt. Baby B is getting big and I definitely feel a difference that there is less space inside for him/her to move. Overall, from outward appearance of my bump, I feel like it's starting to get bigger across, not really pushing out. Also, THE ROLL IS REAL. It's getting much much more difficult to get up from low places or out of bed....I'm seriously trying to perfect my technique, haha!
Hopefully the quality of my pictures are better. AJ suggested using my back camera on my phone instead of my front camera....DUH. I just didn't want to because I couldn't see myself but he's right, they look much better. When Baby B comes, I'll be switching to my Canon Rebel T3i for even better quality!
