I bought a few things today to celebrate! Couldn't really help myself. Nothing practical. Just two things that make me smile.
I made my first purchase on Etsy at Amy's Buttons and Bows. I love her collection of headbands and ruffled bloomers. I can't wait to dress up my little girl in one of these beautiful headbands.
My second purchase of the day was at Hallmark and is a nod to one of her guardian angels.
I saw this pair a while ago and have been waiting to purchase them.
They have been enchanting me with their simplistic beauty. The nursery won't be thematically decorated with owls - just these two. I think they will look perfect on a shelf or as bookends. I wanted something unique to remind us that our baby has two grandparents whom we miss, who are loving her from heaven.
How far along? 21 weeks
Total Weight Gained? 8 pounds
Maternity Clothes? Yes
Stretch Marks? No - Currently I'm mostly using Argan Oil to combat this, although my supply is running low. Looks like I'll need to run to Sephora this weekend. - And we all know how much I hate going there. <sarcasm>
Sleep? Some restless nights this week. And a few crazy dreams.
Best Moment the Week? Receiving a great note from my husband about his feelings towards this pregnancy. In just a few short sentences he conveyed his emotions of total love towards our baby and me, faith in the Lord, and excitement (mixed with a little fear) for the future.
Miss anything? I miss being in better shape. I really felt it this past weekend while hiking. During my first trimester I halted all aerobic activity due to a precautionary suggestion from my doctors. I've been doing yoga, but that doesn't get your heart beating like a nice run. So in the Smoky Mountains we only chose shorter hikes that weren't strenuous. And everyone walked as slow as I needed taking as many breaks as I wanted. - I also really missed enjoying a nice cold beer after a great hike.
Movement? Yes. I'm anxiously waiting until I can feel her from the outside. I think we must be close.
Food Cravings? Not really
Anything making you queasy or sick? No
Have you started to show yet? Yes
Gender? Girl!!!
Labor Signs? No
Belly Button – In or Out?
In
Wedding Rings – On or Off?
On
Moody? No, although I got unreasonably worked up after talking to a Discover Card customer service person after noticing my card was double charged by a retailer. I hate Discover's ridiculous non-customer-centered customer service policies.
Looking Forward To…
Looking obviously pregnant. My Love feeling her kick. More baby shopping. Painting the nursery pink.
Taking her on hikes in a baby backpack to begin teaching her a love of the outdoors and an appreciation for God's beautiful creations.
