2nd Trimester and Baby Furniture
Baby Major is 15 weeks, 0 days today.
Well I officially moved up to the second trimester a couple of weeks ago. I have to say things are already looking better for me. I'm feeling so much better than I was even a month ago and I only tend to get sick on very rare occasions at this point. The fatigue, or hibernation as Brad would say, is definitely starting to subside as well. In fact, the only negative thing I can say at this point is that it's starting to get very uncomfortable to sleep; regardless of position. I'm sure I'm driving Brad crazy with all my tossing and turning every night. But I just tell myself it's only going to get worse so enjoy it why you can.
We had our third doctors appointment today. It wasn't all that exciting but I didn't really expect it to be. I was anxious to see how much weight I had gained since they had expected me to gain between 10-15 lbs by now. Unfortunately I only gained 3 lbs. The doctor said that was okay, she just thinks that I'll be one of those women that is all baby. So nothing to worry about apparently. Everything else looks really good. She talked to us about some second trimester screenings that were coming up and Brad and I are discussing the optional ones to see if that's something we want to venture into. Finally we got to hear the heartbeat again. It was very fast and strong and took no time at all to find. Baby definitely likes to hang out on my right side.
We made our next appointment for February 25th. This is the BIG appointment with the BIG ultrasound to see if Baby Major has boy parts or girl parts and, most importantly, all other healthy parts. Brad and I are both very anxious to find out what we'll be having but we are both pretty confident that we are having a boy. Of course that means we'll probably have a girl. LOL! But either would be just fine with us. We already have really great names picked out for either. Well we think they're pretty great anyway. Once we know we can really start decorating the baby's room.
Which is a nice little transition to the baby furniture! We've been shopping around for baby furniture over the last month but kept going back to this one set that we really liked and it finally went on sale last weekend. So we decided to just go ahead and get it. We picked the Urban collection by Munire. You can see it here. It's a very dark brown set and we decided to just do the crib and hutch/dresser piece. The other dresser we may or may not do. We haven't completely decided yet. But I must say it looks fantastic in the baby's room. I'll be sure to post pictures up once we have the room painted and decorated.
I believe that's all the update I can give you at this point. I do have nice little bump that started last week. It's quite a surprise to wake up one day and not be able to button your jeans! But with the help of a little rubber band I'll be able to get a little more use out of them. Brad has been taking belly pictures over the last few months so I'll post them up in the next week or so. But unless something big happens in the next few weeks I'll probably just wait until after the Feb 25th appointment for my next real post. Only 4 more weeks!
