How far along? 20 Weeks - Half way there!
Size of Baby Baker: Length of a banana
Total weight gain/loss: Think I might be up about 4 lbs
Maternity clothes? Not full time yet but I have been wearing my jeans and little knit shirts. I really like them.
Best moment this week: Still feeling Baby B move. Not tons yet but more and more. Yesterday was the first time I felt him/her while not just laying down. I felt some little nudges at work.
Worst Moment: I have been a bit of an "ill pill" yesterday and today but nothing really.
Miss Anything? Not this week!
Movement: Still just here and there but it is not only when I am laying down now. Can't wait till I feel more often and Ted can fill those little nudges.
Food cravings: Nothing really this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Same ole, same ole... not a huge meat fan but nothing is really making me sick.
Have you started to show yet?: First stranger noticed that I was pregnant Tuesday! I was at Cindy Cinnamon Rolls at the galleria so that might have also gave her a little clue! :-)
Gender prediction: ONE MORE WEEK! I am so anxious! Especially with several other girls I know finding out who are a whole month behind me! I am assuming most got the gender ultrasound done early and I will be 21 weeks when we find out.
Baby Baker Gender Pool is still up and going if you want to make a guess!
Pass code is "baby".
What is Baby Baker up to? Baby B is now around 6 1/2 inches long and weighs almost 10 1/2 ounces! Baby B can hear also hear! Might eve cover her ears with her hands if the sounds are too loud and may "jump" inside if the sounds startle him/her. (I have a feeling he/she will be doing alot of this tomorrow night at Daddy's 30th Birthday party... especially since there is a mechanical bull involved.)
In other Baker news.... We are gearing up for an eventful weekend. Ted's 30th birthday party tomorrow night and Homecoming at Alabama this weekend. My sorority sisters and I plan on going to the parade Saturday morning and heading to the AOII house to relive the good ole days.
Also, we are making more and more progress in the nursery department. Last week we purchase the twin bed to go in the room. For those nights Baby B isn't feeling well, one can sleep in the room and since we have lots of spend the night company, this will at least give us an extra space for one person to sleep instead of losing a whole guest room. My brother came this week to bring the rocking chair that I will have recovered and also take back the bedroom suite that was in the now nursery. We will order the crib next week or so and then once we know the sex, I will get busy trying to nail down the nursery colors. I am just so lost on this one but I think it is because I don't know the sex yet. Once I do, I think I will really be able to narrow things down.
Speaking of which, my co-worker, Ashley, had been trying to tell me to go the this Kids Kloset Consignment sale and I was just not wanting to go since I would have no idea what to buy. Well, yesterday was the last day and everything was half off so she talked me into going just to look around. I am certainly glad I did! This is what all I got:
- Contoured Changing Pad with 2 white minky dot covers
- 2 brand new still in package white crib sheets
- a vinyl changing pad to just have in the car or in the Pack-N-Play
- a whole box of plug in things for all the outlets, I think there was like 20 in the box
- one cradle fitted sheet
- a bag of 5 solid white onies size 3 to 6 mths
- And then a package that included all the following:
Pique Pottery Barn Bumper - retails for $99.00
Pique Pottery Barn dust ruffle - retails for $59.00
Custom made 84" drapes, throw pillow and round table skirt
2 pottery barn crib sheets
GRAND TOTAL for all of this - $55.00!!!!!!!!!!
And I am almost 100% positive the bumper and dust ruffle has never been used. I think the bumper was still in the original package.
Here is a photo of it.
Now what is Baby is is a girl and not a boy???? Well, I love the look of blue and pink together.
Something similar to this:
Here is the closest thing I could find to the fabric that the custom drapes,
table skirt and pillow are made out of:
It is a little bit brighter in person though. Either way, with the whole set being $30, I can't lose even if I decide not to use anything of it and sell it on Craigslist or something.
We plan on having the nursery painted before 1st of November so after the 14th, we will be well on our way to hopefully getting the nursery all in order!
