30 weeks!
30 weeks! 3/4 finished! 75% done! 7th month!
I took this picture yesterday (officially 30w3d) after my doctor appointment. 81 degrees felt AMAZING! Too bad it looks like the rest of the week will be filled with rain and cold weather.
30 weeks has been interesting. I am starting to feel the pregnancy symptoms that are common for 3rd trimester. Probably the most painful is my sore back. I haven't been to the chiropractor since I started seeing the high-risk doctor because I've been nervous. I don't want anything to pop into place that causes some new type of movement/change in my cervix. I have been sleeping very well up until this past week. I am getting up a few times to go to the bathroom and then toss and turn after that. Turning, rolling over, and getting out of bed/off of the couch is getting harder. Braxton Hicks contractions have also started recently. They aren't painful but I really don't like them. Really don't like them.
Luckily, I am off ALL week for spring break. I am looking forward to relaxing and prepping myself for April. We have SO much to look forward to during our last month as a family of 2. I am currently trying to find an outfit or two for my maternity pictures. We are just waiting for the right day with great weather. I'm getting really big so we would like to take the pictures in the next week or so.
Nursery progress is moving. Mike has painted the walls and assembled the crib and dresser. The chair I wanted it now out of stock so I'm starting over on that one. I'm also on the search for some cute decor items to put on shelves in the nursery. Any help and suggestions on where to look?
This piggy bank is adorable but I wish it came in other colors.
I'm loving this little book holder but not the $124 pricetag. I also adore this picture frame, but it is out of stock (and $40...shakes head).
Dwell Studio has such cute things! I just can't bring myself to spend so much money on little knickknacks for the baby's room. I'm not particularly crafty so I won't be taking on too many DIY projects.
Where did you find your cute decor items?
I'm going to go and spend sometime with my little birthday girl! Our puppy-love is 2 years old today. Words really do not express how much we love our little lady. I cannot wait to see her with our son...I know she is going to be a wonderful big sister. AND...I cannot wait to give THIS AWESOME TOY to her tonight. She's going to love it!
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
Almost there, Mama! And Happy Birthday, Mia!
I search etsy for cute decor. Target had cute piggy banks for less than $15. And I found these cute owl book ends for $25: http://www.etsy.com/listing/69815873/lime-yellow-dot-owl-weighted-childrens?ref=sr_list_12&ga_search_query=book+ends&ga_noautofacet=1&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade%2Fchildren
However, I think cute is very subjective so you could hate what I consider cute lol Congrats on being sooo close! Only 10 weeks left!!!
I was also going to suggest Target for piggy banks! That toy for Mia looks so fun-can't believe she's 2 already. Can't wait to see your maternity pics-hope you guys get another gorgeous day to take them! =-)
Yay for warm weather and yay for 30 weeks! Enjoy this last leg!
My target in Chicago today had super cute little matte ceramic piggy banks on an end cap display. Solid colors: orange, deep turquoise, lime, black, and a few others, only $5.99.
We found some things at Big Lots of all places, but it's really hit or miss there. I found some fun stuff at TJ Maxx, Marshall's and HomeGoods.
Love that photo! Pictures like that are so fun to look back on. I absolutely cannot wait to see Mike's maternity pics of you! As for knick knacks, I used books and stuffed animals as decor, as well as some of Cam and I'd childhood things. The things you have picked out are adorable! Hopefully you can find some stuff in unique places, for less!
