31 Weeks

Wow. I can't believe it...31 weeks! Where has the time gone? Only 9 weeks left of pregnancy and I still need to design the nursery, choose and ORDER a crib (how embarrassing), pack my hospital bag (suggestions, please!), a million other baby-related items, and to top it off...a MOVE and WORK! I have a feeling these next nine weeks are going to be cramazing...yes, crazy and amazing. I think this is just the way my life is supposed to be - never a dull moment (or downtime).


Speaking of the nursery...here's what I have so far. I've narrowed down my 'crib contenders' to two:

the ever-classic 'Jenny Lind' 

and

The 'Harper'

I have decided on a paint color (woohoo!) And the winner is...Valspar's 'Brushed Rose.' This color is exactly what I have been looking for! You may remember the color dilemma I was having a while ago -   I just couldn't decide between a calm, neutral nursery, or a bright,  happy space. I decided to go with a bright space, because I love the idea of mixing and matching textures and colors, and felt that a neutral nursery would leave me pulling my hair out wondering, 'Can this go in here? But it's not white? Well, what should I do with it then?'. I was determined to find a coraly-pink for the walls, but was having trouble finding the perfect shade until this...

I discovered this gorgy color by accident, really...I was searching for office inspiration, and came across Lauren Conrad's new office. She (along with a few other celebs) is teaming up with Valspar to benefit Habitat for Humanity - you can see the color on her walls here (so exciting): 

As you know, I have ordered my glider, and Babies R Us has been generous enough to hold it until we move (thank goodness - one less thing to worry about). SO, I still have a few many items to purchase, but I am not worried about it. You're looking at the world's best procrastinator... but, I always get the job done ;). 

I have been keeping track of these little 'weekly updates' on my own, but haven't posted any on my blog yet, and decided to share one with you all today.

How far along? 31 Weeks

Total weight gain: up 12 lbs

Maternity clothes? yes & no .... still mixing and matching, and wearing maxi dresses almost daily

Stretch marks? none yet (fingers crossed)

Sleep: sleeping soundly most nights (thankfully)

Best moment this week: watching & feeling the amazing movement of this babe...I think she's doing Zumba in there ;) Also, hearing from my doctor about my glucose test - in the clear! 

Miss Anything? Being able to wear certain outfits...it's definitely getting more difficult to assemble looks that feel 'new' and exciting 

Movement: lots of movement day & night 

Food cravings: more aversions (still) than cravings, it's hard for me to find things that sound good...but cravings include: fruit, italian ice, water (so thirsty all the time), or anything COLD

Anything making you queasy or sick: still meat...wondering if I will ever like meat again? 

Gender: sugar & spice & everything nice...GIRL! 

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: overall feeling pretty great, other than a stuffy nose and the occasional headache...can't forget my new friend ANEMIA...bummer 

Belly Button in or out? in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: so very happy! 

Looking forward to: designing the nursery & ordering all the essentials I have left to purchase! 

Have a fab Tuesday!
