Virtual Shopping!

Well the interesting thing about being 9 months pregnant is that you can’t really shop for much! You don’t want to buy more maternity clothes, but clearly you don’t fit into your old size, and have no idea when, if ever, you will again. And shoes don’t fit either because your feet are either swollen or have gotten bigger, or both! So you can’t even shoe shop really! So today as I was bored sitting around waiting on baby girl to start the process of showing up, I remembered how I had seen this website where you basically make an outfit board. (Like the mood boards for rooms on the Young House Love blog, for any of you who read that) The site is called Polyvore and you kinda shop and group items together. Here is my first one, and I think it is all super cute! I am really glad ruffles are so in fashion right now, I am a big fan! So go make yourself an outfit and post it and leave me a comment. I want to see what you pick out! (You can sort by price too, so this stuff all ended up being within a reasonable price.) You can click the picture to go to the site and see what items I put in and how much they cost. And then you can make your own!

Preggers Update

Here I am with some dear friends! We are due in August, June, and May, in that order.
I am going to try to post more often about my pregnancy. I found this form on another cute website and so I am going to use that to keep me on track! :)

How Far Along: 22 weeks (OMG, already??)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 12 lbs or so

Maternity Clothes: At first I liked the things with a band that went under the belly. But now I think I am currently liking things with a big panel for more support. It already feels like my belly hurts from the weight a little bit, and it still has lots of room to grow!

Movement: I like that I can tell definite movements now. Earlier I could kinda tell she was moving, but now I know that it must be her. I think today I even felt kicks, really low down!

Food Craving: I never drink milk, but the past few weeks, I have not been able to get enough! I am drinking a lot of milk with oreos, but I also like to just drink a big glass of milk which I NEVER want at all. But now it tastes so good! I wonder if it helps with my heartburn. Or maybe my body needs calcium right now.

What I miss: Sleeping on my back!!!!

Sleep:See above. It hurts my back to sleep on my side. And I asked my mom about that whole “don’t sleep on your back, it cuts off the blood supply through a vein in your back” thing and she said they were never told that back when she was pregnant with me, so I am wondering how valid that concern is! I have also heard that at the point it becomes bad to sleep on your back is also the point where it hurts because the baby weighs so much it hurts, but I don’t know.

What I am looking forward to: Cliff to be able to feel the baby move from the outside. He has tried a few times, but she usually stops. She doesn’t move whole ton or for very long.

Belly Button: Is totally flat!!!! I used to have a very far in “innie” but now it is totally flat! Sometimes it kinda hurts around the belly button, like it is stretching and doesn’t like it!

Symptoms: I have had some indigestion lately. I think chocolate gives it to me and water. I have read that when you drink  a lot of water you could get it, although that sounds weird.

Baby Gear: I have been offered the use of a cradle that my great-great grandfather made (I think that is right, Mom, correct me if I put too many greats in that). I also hung out in this cradle some when I was a baby. Isn’t this a fun picture?
