Well, I think it’s about time for an update. This little blog has been neglected for too long.
Little bean has been growing like a weed (but picture something cuter than a weed). I feel him rolling around and kicking so much, I think he is running out of room. Apparently he’s over a foot long and weighs more than 2lbs. (HOW??) My next appointment is this coming Wednesday where I’ll hear the heartbeat and get my growing belly measured. Daniel won’t be able to come with me because of all the restrictions due to COVID-19 but my OB lets me record the heartbeat so I’ll have something to bring home to him. The following week, I’ll have to go back to the lab for the much dreaded glucose test. I wish Daniel could come with me to this appointment just in case I am one of the unlucky ones that ends up testing positive for gestational diabetes; I’m not sure how I’ll take that news or really what that even entails.
I have been working from home the last five or so weeks and it has been amazing. I can roll out of bed and work in my pjs all day if I want (and most days I want). It’s so nice not having to put on jeans, especially with this belly of mine. It has definitely been something to get used to, feeling proud of a growing body. Our groomsman-roommate moved out this past Saturday and immediately my mom and sisters were over to help me clean, paint and begin the nursery. IKEA had delivered the crib the day prior and Daniel wasted no time assembling it right in the living room. It’s little, non-verbal things like this that show me how truly excited Daniel is for this pregnancy and to be a dad which makes me even more excited to see him as a dad. Heart-eyes.
The beginnings of what will be little bean’s room. Even since this initial photo, we’ve added the cutest pillow and stuffed elephant to his crib, a floor lamp with shelves and a toy bin. We don’t have much of a “theme”; the color scheme being whites and a whole lot of grays. Next on my to-do is replacing our wedding photos with little nursery photos. I’m leaning towards the cutest water color prints of little animals I found on Etsy. Pics to follow!
Besides the nursery, we have been doing a. lot. of nesting. From a new bathroom shower curtain, to new bedroom and dining room rugs to a kitchen island and countertop. We’re on a roll and this little house of ours is becoming more of a cozy home. The three-month countdown is giving us all the motivation we need. As of tomorrow, I only have 13 weeks left if little bean comes on his exact due date of July 24. I am just as excited as I am anxious.
