I know I look horrible but this was taken after an extra long day at work and it was right before I hopped in the shower before bed. Please don't judge!

I Killed The Dishwasher

No, not really, but I put the wrong detergent in while busy talking on the phone with my mom and ended up walking into a world of bubbles 5 minutes later. Seriously, I have no idea where my brain has gone! I immediately turned off the dishwasher, called Clinton at work begging him to come home and fix my mess while on my knees soaking up the bubbles with our biggest bath towels. He had quite the laugh, along with his co-workers. I'm such an idiot!

29 Weeks

* How far along?: 29 weeks, 11 to go!

* Total weight gain: Not happy about it, I seem to have gained a little more than I was expecting for this point in the pregnancy
* How big is baby?: 15 inches and 3 lbs
* Sex: Baby Brianna
* Maternity clothes?: Yes, but my shirts seem to be getting shorter and I fear that soon my belly will be hanging out from them
* Stretch marks?: Same as before, they aren't growing or anything, yet
* Sleep?: Not the greatest, if I do sleep I don't wake up feeling rested the next morning
* Best moment this week? Getting the bassinet set up, it feels even more real now!
* Movement?: Less kicks and more just moving around
* Food cravings?: Back to the lemons
* Labor signs?: Nope, not ready for that yet!
* Belly button in or out?: I don't think it's getting any shallower anymore, it seems to have stopped changing for now
* What I miss: Having energy to do things past 7 o'clock
* What I'm looking forward to: Ordering the nursery decorations this week!
* Words of Wisdom: Please do not tell a woman who still has 2 and a half months to go that she looks like she is going to pop any day now. I don't care how big I look to you, it's rude! My doctor said I am where I need to be, so don't go on telling me these things and making me feel bad, thank you very much!

*Will post a picture tomorrow morning*

Nursery Decorations!

I have been searching Etsy for hours and hours on end almost everyday and have come across some super cute decorations for the nursery. I think they will go great with the bedding (Serena and Lily "Kate") as well as the furniture, which still needs to be ordered by the way:(.

Here are a few of my finds that I am so excited to order!

Super cute butterfly mobile. Not sure if this would hang over the crib or change table yet, but either way, I am loving it!

Wall butterflies that go with the mobile. These could go anywhere in the room and look great.

I think this is a great idea. I have seen a few versions of these and this one is my favorite. I think it's important to have personal family touches in the baby's room, especially seeing as we are halfway across the country from them all.

And this quilt, it is the nicest baby quilt I have seen. The colors match perfectly to the bedding and I can just see my daughter keeping this with her for years and years just like I have with my baby quilt.

There are so many more things that I would like to get for Brianna's room, but for now, these will do. Here is a picture of the nursery, empty I know, but will soon be filled with all sorts of things!

The room is painted a light green/grey, very neutral. We will be changing the curtains to something better than the brown, but for now, it works for the empty room.

28 Weeks (7 months!)

* How far along?: 28 weeks, 12 to go!

* Total weight gain: Not sure, will find out Monday at the Dr. apt
* How big is baby?: 15 inches and 2-3 lbs!
* Sex: Baby Brianna
* Maternity clothes?: Well of course
* Stretch marks?: I seem to have sprouted one on each side of my waist, a continuation of my very old and faded ones :( Luckily, they are shorter than an inch in length still, please don't continue to grow little stretchies
* Sleep?: Crappy, my cat has decided to wake me up 3 times a night with his loud and obnoxious meows
* Best moment this week? Realizing I only have about 3 months to go!
* Movement?: She's pretty lazy in the mornings but at night it's a totally different story. There definitely is a pattern to her movement.
* Food cravings?: Nothing in particular this week
* Labor signs?: I believe I had my first Braxton Hicks contraction the other day, it was pretty uncomfortable
* Belly button in or out?: Still working its way out slowly, I don't think it will ever make it to a full "outie". My belly button pre pregnancy was pretty deep!
* What I miss: Being able to drink more than a glass of water before I need to run to the bathroom to pee
* What I'm looking forward to: Signing up for birthing and breastfeeding classes this week
* Words of Wisdom: Again nothing this week

I really need to start taking better pictures, these are horrible! And here is one of the bare belly just for fun. ;)

It's Moving Day!

That is all. :)
