Hi friends!! I am so excited to be only a couple of weeks away from halfway there! This is all happening so fast and my belly is surely growing fast too! Yikes!
This last weekend I was in Memphis photographing a wedding with one of my besties! It was so much fun getting to see her, her husband, and their sweet baby boy Emory! I was so sad to leave them, but I am glad we got to see one another and that she could see my little bump :)
When I got back, my husband had painted the nursery and put together the crib! Best daddy ever!
I wanted the same crib and paint color regardless of whether we are having a boy or girl. The paint color is a minty green. I know it will go great with either pink/coral/greys/yellows/etc. for a girl as well as reds/navys/greys/yellows for a boy.
It looks so good and it definitely was a crazy wonderful feeling seeing a crib in there! We have the dresser, a chest of drawers, and a glider (on the way) already picked out and purchased. More pics of that will come soon.
I am more on top of things since my mom will be here in a couple of weeks. I wanted her to be able to see what we are doing in there since she can't be here to help decorate except for in June. I can't wait to get going on the details!
Here is a shot of the crib along with an adorable baby blanket my bestie Erin got for us! It's hard to tell the color of the walls, but like I said, it's a minty green color! I love it :)
18 week details:
Size of baby: The size of a sweet potato according to my What to Expect app :)
Maternity clothes: I definitely am in all maternity pants. I do have a Bella Band, but it isn't that comfortable in my opinion and I feel like I constantly am having to readjust it and make sure it is covering my unzipped zipper.
Stretch marks: No stretch marks on my belly...but, I may have a few in other places :-/
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good these days! I am trying not to sleep on my back as I know you aren't supposed to, but I do catch myself on my back sometimes and quickly turn on my side.
Best moment this week: Coming home to a painted nursery and put together crib!
Movement: I have been feeling what I think are flutters, but no kicks or anything yet.
Food cravings/aversions: Pretty much no meat except beef and sausage. We had tilapia tonight and I didn't even really like that and I normally love tilapia.
Gender: Don't know yet. Our appointment is June 21st! HURRY UP JUNE 21st!
Labor signs: None, but obviously WAY too soon for that business.
Belly button - in or out? Still in...
What I miss: I don't really miss anything.
What I am looking forward to: My mom getting here in a couple of weeks and finding out the gender while she is here! Which of course means lots of decorating will be happening after that!
We have the exact same crib. Such a classic design :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree! I wanted classic. It has a nice vintage vibe to it too which I love :)
