November Baby Update

Feels like it has been a while since I last posted. So here's a quick catch up:

I've been experiencing some acid reflux/indigestion or something nightly. That's no fun! Going up and down stairs and walking or standing a lot wears me out more than it used too. Today is the last day of our Be Well challenge for work and I'm looking forward to not having to wear a pedometer daily! It's kinda sad to see how quickly I wear out these days. Though, it was motivating to make me walk a bit more. I'll have to be careful to not get lazier. I'm sleeping pretty good still. Getting used to sleeping on my side and getting up 2 or more times a night. It doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would because it's really easy to fall back asleep. Perhaps it is practice for the months ahead ... wait, I don't think anything can really prepare me for that .. he is worth it though. Getting out of Josh's car is becoming more and more difficult. It's kinda funny cause now he has to give me a boost or just a lot of extra time to get out. I'm sure it's a hoot watching me get out in our driveway since it's a hill. I'm just not that used to being down so low since my car is a lot higher.

This month's ultrasound gave us great pics of Peanut! Here's a few:

Look at  that cute little face!

I think he has his momma's legs :) It's incredible the clarity!

Josh has been great! He has put all the nursery furniture together and it's really starting to look like a nursery! The only major item I am missing is a rocker/glider. I'm trying to decide what type I want (and if I need two - one for upstairs and one for downstairs). Nursery furniture is not cheap so each piece has been a major decision and Josh has been very patient! Once I feel like the nursery is "complete," I will post a few pictures. The colors are green and blue and it seems like we have a nautical theme. We didn't intend for it to go that route, it just kind of happened. It's so funny how you go to a store and there are like five rows of baby gear: 3 girl, 1 boy, 1 neutral. It limits your boy options quite a bit! But we are frugal (I think so) and are piecing things together.

Things are starting to pick up as the holidays get closer. Last weekend the Church family came for a visit and we had a great time catching up. We went to Colonial Williamsburg for the first time ever. It was a beautiful day and perfect for getting in some good walking and eating. Here's a couple cute gifts they gave us. They are too cute not to share!

Next weekend Danielle is coming for a visit (it's on the calendar so I hope we can make the date!). Then it's Thanksgiving and before we know it, Christmas. I can't believe how fast time is flying by! It feels like just yesterday we found out about little Peanut and now we are only a few months away from meeting him. This time next year, my life will be completely different than it is now. It's hard to imagine, but I am looking forward to the changes and hearing his little giggles in the house!

I'll try to be on time for week 28!
