Ok so I didn't get around to calling the exterminator to get a contract on the house. I have had a LOT going on and that was the last thing on my mind.
BUT my goal for this week is to straighten up the office. This is going to be Sweet Pea's nursery but before we can move anything out, as you can see, we need to clear up the little things. We will be moving the desk and large bookshelf into our bedroom. The TV into the spare bedroom. And we will also need to get a ceiling fan installed (to reduce the risk of SIDS). As you can see we also need new blinds too. lol But that will all have to wait until later because as of right now I'm going to have my hands full trying to sort through all this junk.
I was watching that show hoarders and it made me want to do this SO BAD! So maybe I will actually get on top of it. :]
On another note, I need a new camera. Mine is officially broken. It won't even turn on! So before baby Sweet Pea gets here, I'm definitely going to have to get one.
So far during this pregnancy, I got into a wreck, my grandmother passed away, my father passed away from terminal colon cancer, and now I'm having to deal with drama about my father's life insurance.
I honestly do not care either way if we get any money or not. But I do want to make sure everything is done properly. The insurance company told me to fill out the paper work they sent. So that's what I'm doing. I don't understand why that is a big deal but it looks like it's becoming one.
They say you are suppose to keep your stress levels down when you are pregnant, as much as possible. But it's hard when others are forcing senseless drama over something so ridiculous on you.
I want to keep my step-mother in my life and I hope this all works out that way.
The baby will stay around this size until week 24.
How far along? 22 weeks
Total weight gain: still about 10 pounds. I've been trying to walk more than is recommended. They say you should get about 2 and a half hours of excersize a week.
Sleep: I can finally sleep in my bed again but only on my back which will have to change to sleeping back on the couch on my side during my last trimester as to not put stress on the baby. FUN!
Best moment this week: Greg feeling our little girl move.
Movement: She has gotten into a little moving/sleep schedule. When she is awake, she moves so much. I ♥ it! But she isn't waking me up yet, which is good. :]
Milestones: Having to deal with outside drama has been completely ridiculous and unnecessary.
Favorite Moments: Greg has been making my life so much better. I don't know what I would do without him. He is my everything. I love him so much.
So the idea is to cross off something from list each week until the baby comes. I'm sure I'll add things to the list as time goes on but for this week I'm going to try and get a contract on the house for an exterminator. I'll let ya know if I get that done.
As of yesterday I am 21 weeks along. If you know anything about pregnancy they say you are pregnant for 9 months but they also say you are pregnant for 40 weeks, and that's more like 10 months. So that's why I (and most others) count by weeks.
How far along? 21 weeks and 1 day (as of today)
Total weight gain: about 10 pounds which they say is normal at this time in my pregnancy but I'm going to try and keep it as low as possible since I was over weight before.
Sleep: I've been having so much trouble sleeping in my bed that I've been sleeping on the couch alot.
Best moment this week: Finding out our little girl is developing PERFECTLY!
Movement: She is moving NON stop! I love knowing she is in there. Greg hasn't felt her yet but I'm not sure other people can yet.
Gender: ALL GIRL!! :]
Belly Button in or out? It's still in.
Milestones: Sleeping comfortably in my own bed would be nice....
Favorite Moments: Greg kisses me goodbye and baby Lizzie everyday. :]
So I have been getting alot of drama about Elizabeth's name. Basically because we have friends who named their daughter Elizabeth. They call her Eliza and we will be calling our little girl Lizzie.
The thing is I have had Elizabeth Nicole picked out since I was nine. I've also liked the name Elizabeth since I was three. I had a cabbage patch doll named Elizabeth Pinky Martin. I think the name is classic and there is so much you can do with it. Plus, my mother lost a child when she was three days and her name was Elizabeth Ann. So the name has alot of meaning for us.
We talked about this name before we were even engaged and it's our child so we can name her what we want. We have other friends who have a little boy named Mikey and we were going to name a boy if we had one Michael Gregory and they didn't mind. I also think when Eliza and Lizzie get older they will think it's cool they have the same name. I mean it's not like it's an original name that was used. It's completely classic.
So for those of you last night who had issues with it, get over it. She's not your child.
