A lot of developments have been made over the course of the past few weeks, so I will try and recap as best as possible.
Nursery Update...
Furniture bought and delivered! We selected a white sleigh crib, matching changing station and a four drawer dresser. A preview of her bed set is below, I call the theme of her nursery, "sophisticated lady bugs." We selected paint color and will work on putting her nursery together after the holiday season. A big thank you to Grammy Summers for buying us the lady bug comforter set and a big thank you to Grandma Schab for purchasing our glider! We are so blessed to have such wonderful parents that are so excited about becoming grandparents :-)
Bust a move...
So I definitely love when Baby Schab moves in my belly...truly THE BEST feeling in the world. I can't help but say, "Ooooo hello baby" every time I feel her move. I'm not quite at the point where others can feel the movement, but I anticipate that will all change in the next few weeks. The other night when I was watching TV in bed, I felt a few kicks. I called Rob upstairs to feel, but she had stage fright and stopped once Daddy was around. I hope she kicks hard soon, poor Rob feels a bit neglected.
Food...
No weird cravings to report. I am happy to say I love the majority of all foods again. I'm back to loving spaghetti with meat sauce and will occasionally indulge in certain sweets (but I have to drink milk with it). I still hate eggs, but besides that, everything else is fine. I'm not really eating much more than I usually did. I think my weight gain is at 10-12lbs (we will find out the exact number in a few days). I usually have to close my eyes every time I step on the scale, what torture!!!
Don't make fun of my waddle!
There are definitely times when I feel like the cliche pregnant lady! There has been at least two times when Rob and I are out at stores and I catch him laughing at me. Apparently, I "waddle" slightly when I walk. There are also times when I need "assistance" getting up, too. Rob and I were watching TV and I went to get up and was like, "uh oh." I started laughing hysterically and said, "Can you help give me an extra nudge?" Classic story.... we were in bed one night and I asked him to give me a slight nudge to help me roll over because I was struggling a bit. The next thing I know, he is pushing me out of bed! I started yelling, "What are you doing???" He stopped and said, "Oh my god, I thought you needed to get up and use the bathroom (valid point since I average 4-5x/night). LOL I said, "Nope, just need to roll over a bit."
Got milk?!
I was home alone about one week ago sitting with Lexi on the couch in my PJ's when I looked down and noticed two wet marks. Yes, it happened already....I started leaking! I wasn't wearing a bra and I could feel it right away with just a t-shirt on. I googled right away and it turns out this can be quite normal. I am going to confirm with my Dr this week, but definitely an interesting way to start your day!
My new shopping obsession...
I'm officially obsessed with buying baby clothes! I have hit up my favorite consignment shops and have scored deals of the century. I must have bought her 75+ outfits (ok one order was a box full of 50 outfits for $20) and have paid less than $50 for everything. Trust me, everything is of the cutest taste- Gymboree, Old Navy, Gap Kids, Carter's, etc. She will be like her mommy, dressed in cute fashion at bargain prices!
Next up...
I have my monthly Dr appointment scheduled for this week and will learn more updates and the fate of my weight this week. Cross your fingers for good numbers! I will also post some belly shots later this week, too.
