Today marks my 23rd week of pregnancy and it has been a relatively glorious week! I am finally starting to feel and actually LOOK pregnant, rather than looking like I might have binged a little too hard on the Ben & Jerry's. I feel great, may or may not be eating my weight in fruit lately (so weird!) and have definitely gone into nesting mode. I am so eager to finish the nursery, but I have had such a difficult time actually deciding what to do with it or what colors to paint. For example....
I begged Justin to paint this wall exactly as it is pictured above... and so he did. It turns out I wasn't such a huge fan of the shade of the blue and now, I am having him repaint the entire wall, stripes included. Justin is a doting husband who loves me a lot and really just wants to
make me shut up make me happy, so he dutifully agreed to embark on this adventure next weekend.
It also turned out that my original thought for the nursery (whales) was not exactly what I was going for either so, I took to the internet and put together my own dream nursery! Say hello to what Pottery Barn calls "The Hamptons"... this will be my baby boy's room theme!
Anchors, nautical stripes, Ralph Lauren-esque... I sighed and immediately fell in love with all of these things. They are probably a lot more "me" than "baby" but, I figure he can grow into them :) I hope he loves them like I do when he gets older!
Now, to the bump!!
From 22 weeks.... (above)
to 23 weeks! I think I definitely popped out a bit more in my 23rd week! Like I said, I'm feeling good and just want all the bedding and painting to be done so I can dive a little further into my nesting mode and start cleaning the room as much as I'd like to before he arrives. I guess I have this really deep fear that he will come much earlier than he's supposed to and I won't have anything I need for his homecoming.
Anyway, I'll update more when I have something to update with! I'm focusing on sticking to our new budget (thanks to Meghan for helping me put that together), getting ready for our remodel and purchasing all the accessories for the kitchen and bathroom at a discounted price and waiting patiently to order granite (hurry up cabinets!).
Til then...
