The baby has been having the hickups alot, so cute.

I go to the Doctor tomorrow for a checkup.

 

[Stacey]

I am always thinking of you! I'm mailing Fade's stuff back tomorrow! Promise So you guys should get it in 4-5 days--let me know if you don't!

Thats so cute that the baby gets hiccups!

Yes, I've got the bell thing covered... even the kids know the sound

I was thinking of going with these accessories...

I love that! The white fabric with the flowers is the same fabric I was going to do for my daughter's room. We are redoing her room and I am going to do her curtains, canopy and dresser in a white batiste type fabric with flower embroidery!

Where did you find this? Do they have stuff for older girls?

Good luck at your appointment. How many weeks are you now?

I found the crib bedding at NurseryDepot.com

I haven't found regular sheets and stuff in this pattern. Since the valence and dust ruffle are the same, I was thinking of buying an extra valence and have it and the crib ruffle made into a twin size ruffle.

I did find this set at MarshallFields.com but there aren't any pictures and their customer service can't even provide a description. I want to go to the store and see but there are only 2 stores in Houston and a trip to either would have to be made on the weekend. I'm thinking the sheets and duvet must look like one of the throw pillows.

Doc said everything looks normal with me and baby!

I only gained 3.5 lbs in the last 4 weeks. I'm happy cause I've bee trying not to over eat or eat a lot of junk.

Next appt is in 4 weeks and I have to do that glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes.

I hope everything goes ok at the doctors sweetie, your baby girl's bedroom is going to be beautiful. A beautiful room for a beautiful baby with a beautiful mommy.

 

[Stacey]

Well I gained too much in the first few months so I'm trying my best to slow down the weight gain. I'm not starving myself or anything that would put the baby at risk, I'm just not over eating and have cut back on the junk.

Gaining 25-35 lbs is typical for my age and height.

 

[Triple Threat]

It seems like you're doing just fine. What about Fade?

 

[butterfly]

He's doing good. He recently found out he passed his Pharmacy Technician certification exam. So, now he's looking for a job.

He's really excited about the baby! He loves to talk to her and feel her move and kick

[Stacey]

awww thats sooo cute Butterfly!! I love that name~ Beautiful!!!

How are you feeling? Any weird food cravings??
Have you been able to workout at all during your pregnancy?

 

[butterfly]

No, my doc. hasn't let me workout at all. Now he has limited the amount of time I can walk around to no more than 1.5 hrs at a time.

Most of the time I couldn't care less about eating. But I know when its time to eat and I make myself. Gracie has finally turned, head down, now and she likes to kick my tummy. Kind of makes you not want to eat, too ;-)

I'm soooo tired all the time and just ache all over. I'm so ready for her to come!!!

 

[Stacey]

Uggg you don't make pregnancy sound fun at all
I'm sorry your so achy and tired all the time!!

Yea I wouldn't want to eat either if someone was kicking me in the tummy! Sowwwy babe!! Your almost there!!!!

 

[butterfly]

Sorry sweetie but there is a part of being pregnant that isn't fun at all

But its all worth it in the end!

 

[Stacey]

Oh girl I know-- I have heard some stories!!!! LOL! I just hope I don't have a hard pregnancy-since I have all the problems now.

Your right--totally worth the wait!!

Did you rest this weekend?? I hope you had a good weekend!

Does Gracie kick a lot?

 

[butterfly]
