15 weeks!

Brian started a part-time job a few weeks ago. I am so glad he was able to find something, but I really miss him on the weekends. Yesterday I went to another kids consignment sale. It was no where near as good as the last 2 I went to. I got a couple of clothing items and that was it. They had the bouncy seat that matches my swing and playmat, but they wanted $35 bucks for it and I can get a new one for $40 so I passed. Did I mention that last weekend I got a bedding set? My mom bought a boy set and I bought a girl set. They are both really cute, but unfortunately the boy set doesn't fit our crib. The girl set was so pretty and just too great of a deal to pass up. It's by Nautica. The original price was $320 and we got it for $30 from Kid 2 Kid! I had no intention of buying bedding until we found out what we were having but look how cute it is :) If we found out we are having a boy I will either save this bedding for the possibility of baby #2 or consign it. I am counting the days until September 17th so that we can get the BIG ultrasound scheduled. Only 18 days until my next appt!

Crib!!

We got our crib today!!! My mom went to a consignment sale and found this awesome Ragazzi crib! I love it and it is in such good condition!! It was also only $150 w/ the mattress included!! This crib is $500 new! I went to pick it up today with my dad and brother and it is all put together in the nursery now :)

14 weeks!

14 weeks today! Hello 2nd trimester!! The main thing I have going on right now that SUCKS is that my gag reflex has gotten super sensitive so I am getting sick sometimes again. Ugh. I thought that was over. No nausea, but if I smell something that is too strong or eat certain things I get the dry-heaves and get sick. Awesome. Other than that, I can’t really complain. I have had a lot more energy this week. We got everything moved out of the room that is going to be the nursery this past weekend and reorganized the office so that the queen size bed would fit in there. I am still a grumpy bear quite often though. The worst part of the day to me is after lunch. I get really tired and cranky and I am just over it by then. But other than that, everything is awesome. My mom went to a consignment sale yesterday and got us a really great exersaucer. Love it! I am taking Brian to go see the crib we want this weekend. Can't wait!

Dr's Appt

It went great! All my blood work came back good. My blood pressure was good. I have lost a pound since my last appt, so that puts my grand total weight gain for this pregnancy at 1 pound so far lol. I can't complain about that! She did the little Doppler and listened for the heartbeat. We could only hear it for a second at a time because the baby was moving around so much. They schedule my next appt for Sept 17th. I'll be 18 weeks then and she said they will schedule my ultrasound for 2 weeks after that. So 6 more weeks and we will know what we have baking in there :) Can't wait!

13 weeks!

Brian & I went to the All4Kids consignment sale on Thursday night. We got to go early for the "first-time mom's" pre-sale. It was awesome! We gt alot of good stuff for really great deals. We spent around $140 bucks and got $550 worth of stuff (seriously. I looked everything up online when we gt home lol). We found a book and a couple of small toys and we also picked up a swing, bath tub, play gym mat, a humidifier, crib soother and a stroller. Very exciting! When I got home from work yesterday a wiped everything down with lysol. It all pretty much looked like new, but I still wanted to clean is myself. The stroller is great. It is a Graco Metrolite, which is the same type of stroller we registered for and it was $20, you can't beat that! The swing is awesome, it's the open-top Fisher Price rainforest design. So cute! It was brand new and we only paid $65 for it (reg price is $140!). The play gym mat matches the swing. It is the exact one we registered for and it was only $20. My mom came by today to see all the things we got and to bring us the glider and ottoman the my grandmother had. It's not the same wood color we are going to use in the nursery, but it is in great condition and it is comfortable. I feel so ahead of the game on getting things now. It's great! Here are some pics of the stuff we got:

12 weeks!

I came across this neat link on my babycenter.com boards. Check out the results:

This is what I have been thinking all along, guess we'll have to wait and see! I go in for my next appointment on 8/14 and I am thinking they might schedule my next ultrasound then. It will be so exciting having a date to countdown to! I really can't wait to find out what this little peanut is!

11 weeks!

11 weeks, wow. First trimester is just about over! I am feeling pretty good these days, over all. I still have low energy and get tired kind of early, but I'll take that over getting sick any day :)

A good friend of mine gave me a pointer that we should register for gender neutral items early, that way we don't have to wait until after we find out what we are having and do it all at once. We went to Babies 'R Us last night and got started. It was fun, but exhausting lol. At least we have jump start on it and we won't have to spend 3 hours in the store when I am 20+ weeks pregnant lol.
