| I think my belly has finally outgrown my butt! My sweet, almost 7-year old nephew James informed me last weekend that my belly sticks out further than my boobs. Kid cracks me up. |
Baby's Size: About 11 inches and getting close to one whole pound!
Gender: GIRL!
Movement: All the time. I love it. But, I have a feeling I'm not going to love all of it before too long. :) I'm already getting some questionable kicks/punches/headbutts in the bladder, behind my bellybutton (which kind of hurt), and in my spine? I have no idea, but I am feeling some crazy, awesome, weird movement.
Sleep: Maybe next week? Still not great, but it could be worse. It will be worse!
Maternity Clothes: Oh yes. Other than a few dresses and tops, I haven't attempted to not wear them in weeks. Belly panels are my BFF. I've decided I prefer the full panel, which stinks since I bought some jeans with a demi panel that are otherwise cute but kill me to sit in for any longer stretches. Oh well. Live and learn.
Symptoms: Pure, unadulterated joy. Nesting. Tiredness.
Aversions: Salmon still doesn't sound fantastic, but I could eat it if it was done well. Otherwise, I am not currently food averse... which is good and bad. ;)
Cravings: ROOT BEER! OMG. All day long. I just want root beer. And I can get it from a restaurant in my building in a styrofoam cup (there's something about a soda out of styrofoam... and I'm neither a soda drinker nor a styrofoam consumer... I was president of the ecology club in middle school and I still take that seriously). Thankfully, they don't also have crunchy ice, otherwise I might be there daily.
What I miss: Sleep. But, I wouldn't trade this for anything.
Feelings toward pregnancy: Still just amazed. And so grateful for this experience and God's provision.
Best moment this week: My surprise shower and the Gators beating up on the Noles. Edited to add: my mom, aunt, sister, and nephew all felt G kick! And, Matt finally felt her after all of them too. :)
What I'm looking forward to in the next week: Perhaps a little more nesting and maybe even ordering her bedding. I'm 99% sure that I'm going to do custom bedding from Carousel Designs. I'm looking at these fabrics but in a custom order, because I don't love this ready to go design. I have been searching for fabrics I like using a coral/melon color, aqua-ish color, and a citron green. And bam. So, now I just need to commit. #firstworldpregnancyproblems
Also, last night I attended a crafting session at my friend, Jen's. She lives in my neighborhood and has a room above her detached garage called The Craft Room. It's a real business. So, she's been hosting nightly crafts where all you do is show up with the fee for the craft of the night and get on with it. She is SUPER creative, and it was really fun. I made this lovely string art for my girl. It's about a 12x12 wooden plaque and will be hung on her wall in a grouping with other art and pictures.

I highly recommend carousel designs...I used them for our bedding and looove the quality :-) You are ADORABLE! And I can't wait to meet sweet Greer!
That initial craft is really cute!
You'll post pictures of the nursery, right? We're getting ready to start on ours, too. But I can't do bedding until after my mom retires at the end of December because she's sewing everything for me.
Mere, good to know!!! I knew you did "custom" but I didn't realize it was the same place. I love that they're right here too.
Crys, yes, I will definitely be posting pictures. I think it will be my favorite room in the house! :) That is amazing that your mom is doing the bedding. I am sure it will look awesome!
who is Jen? i don't think i know her, but love the concept...and what you did!
