How far along? 32w5d

Total weight gain: Up another lb...steady

How big is baby? By now, baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.




Maternity clothes: Yep

Stretch marks: Haven't really changed...just a few on the underside and a couple of purple dots on my hips

Sleep: Depends. I definitely don't get enough!

Movement: I love watching the baby move. I could do without her pushing on my lungs, though!

Food cravings: Not really

Food aversions: Not really

Belly button: Shallow, but an innie

Symptoms: The swelling is not fun! I've started wearing Ted hose to work. Boo :(

What I'm looking forward to: Putting all the baby gear into the nursery

Weekly Wisdom: Put your feet up as much as humanly possible

Weekly joy: Matthew put the furniture into the nursery today!!! I love looking in there!

The shopping has begun!

I want to share with you all my first few purchases for Baby Felicity...



The front says "YUM." The cutest part is a huge cupcake on the butt...check it out HERE. Seriously, the cuteness is beyond words!

My mom and I went shopping for fabric for the quilt she is making for the nursery. The pattern is going to be blocks with 4" and 2" squares. The pink fabric with embroidered flowers will be the big squares, then the plain pink and white with with flowers will be the small squares. The back is white flannel with pink flowers. The edging is pink satin. I can't wait to see the finished product.


The picture is crappy...but IRL the fabric is adorable!

We also found this rug for the nursery for $11!

It has ballet shoes, shooting stars, a crown and pink dress. The edge is pink (don't know why the pic makes it look tan!). It's adorable.

We also went to a thrift store and found 3 cute sleepers with the tags still on!

Now I am incessantly checking and adding stuff to my registry :)

Question for my momma readers!

I am working on registering...what an overwhelming task!

I would love to get recs on your favorite baby items? What are your must haves?

If you aren't a mom yet, what items do you dream about having someday?

Spill it and help me out!




PS I'm also trying out a new signature and added the reactions clicky for you all!
