Baby Schab Nursery
Rob has been the little worker bee over the past couple of days starting work on her nursery. The expression, "one step forward, two steps back" has definitely applied to her room. After spending more and more time prepping the room, he noticed air leakage. Her room is measuring in the 50's and in certain places even less than that. Soooo before he can finish painting, he has to rip up carpet and even make a few holes in the wall (eeeek) to add extra installation. The top part of the walls have been painted pink and the bottom half (chair molding and white paint) will be completed once the heating mystery is solved. We set a goal of the end of January to have her nursery all painted and furniture assembled. I am excited for more progress to be made.
My...look how much you have grown!
Numbers are in. I have officially gained...... 15 lbs! At my last weigh in, I asked the nurse to put a little * next to my weight to let everyone know that I'm weighing in after two big holiday weekends. She just laughed and told me to get on the scale (I at least tried). I have also become the cliche "new years working out person." I have really, really been terrible with the gym ever since I got pregnant. I use to be very dedicated, but unfortunately I have slacked big time. However, I'm setting small goals for myself and would like to walk 3-4x/week for at least 30 minutes. I made it to the gym 2x so far...so hopefully my "new years goal" of working out each week will come true.
Countdown is On!
You know you are somewhat getting close to baby time based off of the paperwork you receive at your monthly appointments. I had my December appointment today (1-03-11) - yes I was two weeks late. Baby Brain was the result of my first missed appointment two weeks ago and the NY Blizzard was the result of my missed re-scheduled appointment. I was absolutely shocked when she asked me to start filling out paperwork that they would send to the hospital in anticipation of my arrival. I was also shocked to learn that after my next appointment, they wanted to start seeing me every two weeks instead of monthly. I am beyond pumped and actually quite calm. I really thought I would be a nervous wreck leading up to giving birth, but for some reason, I'm taking everything in positive stride. Maybe watching shows like 16 & pregnant and Teen Mom (don't judge...) have made me more relaxed. If they can do it... so can I.
Food Cravings
Scroll back to my posts from August-October. Every other sentence was, "I hate this, I hate that, can't bear to look at this food or even eat this food" HA- have times changed! In the first trimester, nothing appealed to me and it was very, very difficult eating meals. NOW, everything is appealing! I was driving to Gettysburg to visit my parents and every restaurant/food chain I passed I was like "ooooo that sounds good for dinner." I also attacked their M&M bowl for dessert. I don't think I've eaten so many M&M's in one sitting in my life. They just tasted so yummy and I just kept inhaling them. So much for Baby not enjoying sweets anymore- now she loves them!
Stay Tuned...
In the next couple of weeks check back for updates on her room and more fun things we get to encounter. Baby Schab is going to be very loved and spoiled and we are just sooo excited to meet her!
