1. We got the house!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!! We go to closing on 12/13 and I am so excited that we will actually be in the house before Christmas. Disclaimer: This does not mean that I have to decorate but the thought of waking up Christmas morning with no tree is B-O-R-I-N-G. With the new house comes a full list of things that randomly became a
**Our holiday card needs to double as "we've moved" notification with our new address and hopefully will include a picture of us AND the house.
**Decorating! I have already been drooling over decor ideas on Pinterest and have actually thought about changing paint colors in the house even though the current paint colors are actually quite nice!
**Baby Lane's room becomes a reality. It was really hard for me to even start to visualize what I wanted a nursery to look like, until I actually had a room to call a nursery. Planning in this room can definitely begin (insert anxiety).
2. 18 weeks preggo and counting... I have been feeling really good and energized. Not sure if its the excitement over the house or if I am actually moving into an "energy phase." But either way, I am going to enjoy it. I am going to go ahead and commence the weekly bump update in this post as its pretty official that the bump is here to stay:
- Size of baby: A bell pepper
- Maternity clothes: Not yet, but the work options are slowly diminishing in the morning.
- Movement: Have definitely felt some flutters this week that I haven't felt before and I am looking forward to those being more defined moving forward (I may kick myself for asking for that later on).
- Gender: We have our 20 week apt in 2.5 weeks. By the new year, we will probably be announcing Baby Lane's gender (at least I am pretty sure of this today).
- Cravings: Just VERY VERY VERY thirsty-all the time!
- For those of you that know me, this is certainly a fun fact-- I have not bought one single baby related item... NOT ONE. Not sure why that is but its actually shocking to me given my random (and frequent) trips to TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather this week and are more prepared for the holidays than we are this year!!!
