It's a downward slope from here

Ever since we found out "it's a girl" we have been going crazy with planning and buying things for this precious princess.  Before I tell you all the good stuff, I want to give a quick update.  Since my mom and MIL don't live close by, I send them a weekly update on Friday's and include a picture. 

Here's last week...

Week: 21

Baby Size: A banana

Baby Weight: 12.7 oz

My Size: My tummy is growing like a weed.  People that I don't know are starting to ask questions about my pregnancy.  "Congrats, how are you feeling?" "Is it a boy or girl?"


My weight: Last doctor appt I had gained 3 lbs, but I have another one on Wednesday and think I have gained about 3-4 this month.
 
My Activities: I am still walking in the morning and it is much more enjoyable since it's cooled off.  I am not walking as much as I was though.  (Probably the reason for the spike in weight gain this month.  Hehe!) I am walking about 2 miles 3-4x/week.

Cravings: For the first 4 months, literally all I ate was cereal.  I am  not talking the good-for-you stuff, I am talking about the kind that mothers won't let their children eat; Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, Honey Nut Cheerios, and Fruity Pebbles.  The thought of a healthy meal like chicken or steak would send me over the edge.  Thankfully, even though I wish I could still eat cereal for every meal, I am eatting a little more healthy. 

Things we bought for the baby this week:  This week we bought more clothes and a few blankets for her.  We have really been concentrating on the room.

Nursery: This is the fun part... I have been busy busy dreaming about what I want her room to look like.  I am thinking; fun, soft colors, girly but not over the top, soft pink mixed with a few other colors, maybe whimisical, sparkly things.  Do you get the picture?  Well, neither do I, but I am working on it.  We bought the bed, even though it is not in yet.  I think I have decided on the bedding and glidder, but I will blog in more detail about this later.
