Sleep: Sleeping has been a bit rough since the weekend. I have been having really bad heartburn and just can't get comfortable. Tom is going to switch out the mattresses with the spare bedroom in hopes that may help.

 

Best moment of this week: Tom and I went out Saturday night to Red Robin for dinner and then met up with some friends for bowling. It was really nice to see everyone, even though I didn't bowl :(.  Sunday we had dinner at Brick Oven with my cousin, her husband, and the 3 kids which was nice. We then took the kids for a walk and had Cold Stone. It was almost like one on one with all the little ones. I love seeing them and can't wait for our little one to join the bunch!!

 

Miss anything: A glass of wine at dinner

26 Weeks!!

The past couple of weeks have been busy!!! We have been working on the nursery (pictures to come), and enjoying the nice spring weather. With being on spring break this week I have been able to catch up on some things that have been hard to get to during the week including the blog. I didn't have time to do a 25 week update but I did include the picture in this weeks update.

Sleep: Sleeping is good. Definitely better than in past weeks.

Best moment of this week: This week has been pretty nice with the gorgeous weather and being on spring break. We celebrated Easter on Sunday with Tom's family and it was very nice!! Monday was really fun and my mom and I went to lunch and got a dress for my baby shower. It was definitely harder to find one than I thought but I absolutely love the dress!! I can't wait to wear it in a couple of weeks. Today I went and had breakfast with a friend and her little man. It is always fun to catch up with friends!! 

Miss anything: Nothing this week.

Food cravings: This week I have been craving guacamole!! I don't know if it's the warm weather but I can't wait until Thursday to do dinner so I can have some.

Labor signs: No. 

Nursery: Her room is looking amazing!! I can't wait until it all comes together. Tom and I have been working on her furniture. It is great to see all the little touches that make it a nursery. She is going to absolutely love it. Pictures to come.

24 Weeks!!!!

The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy and I know I haven't been updating. I'm sorry for being behind. Although I do not have pictures for week 23, I have included week 22 pics. Hopefully I am back on track now and will be updating weekly!!!

How Many Weeks: 24 Weeks !!!

Total weight gain: I gained 5 pounds since last month.

Maternity clothes:  A majority of my wardrobe is maternity with a couple pieces thrown in here and there that are pre-maternity. Luckily with spring coming, tops are flowy and I have some pretty tops from last spring that are still fitting.

Sleep: Sleeping has been much better the past couple of weeks. I usually wake up around 5:45 to use the bathroom but other than that I am sleeping the whole night. She is still kicking in the early morning.

Best moment of this week: It's only Thursday and this week has been pretty busy. We celebrated my dad's birthday on Sunday and Monday. Sunday we went to Spirito's in Elizabeth, where they have the most AMAZING ravioli's. Then on Monday we went to the Stirling Hotel for dinner. I also had a doctors appointment on Monday and the "blueberry" is measuring right on track and her heartbeat was great!! It is always fun to hear her. I can't wait until we get to finally see her!! I need to go in the next couple of weeks for the glucose testing. Ughh!!!

Miss anything: Nothing this week.

Movement: She is constantly moving throughout the whole day. She is super active, which makes me curious to see if this will continue when she arrives.

Food cravings: I still enjoy cereal, bagels and fruit. These are definitely my favorite. I have to start cutting out OJ and spaghetti sauce though because it is giving me terrible heartburn :(

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing!!

Nursery: The nursery is coming along. We had her room painted 2 weeks ago, the painters did a wonderful job and we absolutely love the way it came out!!!   The room is  getting carpeting tomorrow and her furniture is coming next Saturday. I am so excited to see how everything comes together. It's hard to believe that she will be here so soon!!Pictures will be coming when it is all finished.
