15 Weeks To Go

I am 25 weeks pregnant, which means I have 15 weeks to go.

My week started out good, I went to the baby shower of my friend, Nicole. Nicole & I met probably several years ago when we used to go 4-wheeling. Our groups of friends basically intermixed when it came to redneck stuff. Then a couple of years ago when we both were engaged, we began exchanging emails about different wedding venues. She ended up leading me to Hillcrest where we both got married. Soon after that we began our pregnancy journeys. We were able to talk to each other about our ups and downs of trying to become pregnant, and therefore ended up becoming good friends. She has had a very long, rough road to become pregnant with her miracle baby girl, and I am so excited for her and her Husband Chris. Their nursery theme is "Garden", so I decided to make something that would go along with the theme. I saw the picture online, and gave it a try:



They are rolled up washcloths with spoons attached to the back of them. I had wished they sat up higher to see the spoons better, but I still thought they came out cute!

On Sunday, I went to Target and bought the babies first piece of furniture. We are getting a dresser and a changing table with drawers, but since we are not using the closet, I wanted something else to store stuff in. I found this:

The shelf was on sale for $39.99 and the cubes were on sale for $6/each! They really hold a lot of stuff. The shelf only came in white or wood, and our furniture is black, but we have white trim in the room & we are getting white blinds, so it goes nicely.

On Monday night, I did my first ever load of baby clothes laundry! It was very exciting, and surreal. It is crazy still for me to think that in a couple of months we will have a baby!


That was the exciting stuff of the week, then mid-week I got into this mood were I felt that I am the only one who wants to prepare for this baby now. If you know me, you know that when I want something, I want it yesterday. It is very hard for me to wait for things, and it is frustrating for me to hear "You have plenty of time"! I know I have 15 weeks until I am due, but I also know that I would rather have everything in order before I am so big & miserable, I can't do anything! I am a planner, I HATE last minute, and my husband is the president of the last minute club. I have tried to learn to except this, but it isn't easy when you are hormonal! Why can't everyone just appease me, it would really make things a lot easier for all of us!

Last, but not least, a belly picture:
