Yeah, I'm late...

 *How far along?: 19 Weeks

*How big is baby?: The size of a Mango! yummmm

*Maternity clothes?: Yep.  I still have 1 pair of jeans that button since they are low rise, but of course then I'm constantly worried about my crack hanging out.

*Sleep?:  Still rockin the 3 pillows and thankfully sleeping through the night.

*Best moment this week?: Swim class #2 with Lillian

*Movement?: YES!  It's amazing.  I'm completely in awe.

*Food cravings?: Ugh, I've been eating the most disgusting unhealthy food :-/.  It's got to get better, right?  I think I've had at least 3 milkshakes this week and had some sort of fast food for lunch every day...  it's bad.

*Labor signs?: Nope. Nada.

*Belly button in or out?: In

*What I miss: Having energy and eating healthy

The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem

The second step is justifying it with the prices you paid!


$80 = 21 items of clothing (including one snow suit that was $4 SCORE!) thanks to clearance racks at Target/Kohls.  

I know most women ooooo and aaaaahhhhh over little girls clothes and accessories, but I'm the complete opposite.  I LOVE little boys clothes!  The little ties!  The plaid!  The collared shirts!  SWOON.

I melt.

24 Hour Blog Poll!!

You have 24 hours (well, really more like 32 hours) to take a guess at what's behind baby bump #2!

Will Lillian have a little brother or sister?  Click the poll in the left hand column!

And for a little comparison - here is Baby Bump #1 at 17 weeks (with Lillian)

And Baby Bump #2 at 17 weeks

Vintage Inspired Big Girl Room

Now that #2 is on the way, we have to make the decision on what to do with the bedroom situation.  Lillian's nursery was decorated gender neutral because we knew we wanted to have another child.  So now that the nursery is in place for whatever #2 surprises us with, we have to figure out what to do with Lillian! 

The idea is to turn the guest bedroom into her big girl room.  And I'm IN LOVE with this vintage inspired nursery.

Isn't it gorgeous?!

The main problem is I'm really not interested in painting over the wall color that's already in the room.  The color is called "Georgian Brick" and it looks just like it sounds:



Not the best picture but you get the point

Luckily the crib is white, there's a white shelf that goes all around the top of the wall, and there is good lighting in the room.

So far we've purchased the crib, bedding, a lamp, and a mirror.  I found the most beautiful vintage dresser, but unfortunately it was sold just before I got to the store :(.  It really was perfect.  I'm still upset over that!

Here is what we have:

The Convertible Crib

Super cute lamp I found from a local store



The bumper for her crib (this girl needs a bumper, she's a very dangerous sleeper!)

Crib Skirt

Crib Sheet

A vintage inspired mirror to go over the dresser (once we find one)



That's all we've got so far!  I can't wait to see it all come together.  Luckily we still have 6 months or so to make it happen. I would love to find a new light for the room, figure out what we'll put on the wall, and we might replace the mirror if I found out that fits the wall better.  I'm a little bit worried about the wall color, but we're determined to make it work!   I HATE painting!
