Where is time going????? This is my last week of my 2nd trimester which most books say is the 'honeymoon' phase and that now I have nausea, swelling and general uncomfortableness to look forward to! This week has been action packed- we had Nick's 23rd birthday, 2 dinners out with friends, painted the laundry, toilet AND our baby girls nursery!!!! Here is the before and during shot and in a few weeks I will get the after shots up! And yes... He painted in his undies!!!!!
I love walking past her .. Yes HER room!! It is no longer just the treadmill room that gets closed off... It is the most important room in our home!! It is where our Baby Girl will spend her first night (and the next night.. and the next night.... ) we bring her home! Our 6 weekly sessions of antenatal classes started this week too. The first class was a basic intro where the Mums went to one room to talk about all the gory downstairs stuff before during and after birth and the Dads spent an hour and a half doing secret men's business (there was a lot of laughter from what we could hear).
My bump is officially getting noticed! The girl at Subway asked when I was due yesterday and I couldn't help but grin! I feel so proud of my bump although it now makes putting my shoes on and shaving my legs VERY difficult! I can tell I have been working too hard at work when I start to get Braxton Hicks regularly so I make sure I drink ALOT of water and sit down.
What is the baby up to this week? All five of her senses are fully developed now and she is focusing on getting fatter and filling out her skin. She is about 2 pounds now!!! Woah!!!
Maternity clothes? No new ones just trying to make the most of baggy shirts and stretchy pants!
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: I am usually up about 3-4 times a night to pee or getting kicked in the lungs!
Best moment this week: getting our Baby Girls room painted and picking up her cot and change table... I can't wait to wash all of her clothes and cloth diapers (will post the cloth diaper photos up next week) and get her room all prettified for her arrival!

Miss Anything? Iced coffee!!
Movement: she is most active at night and rolls around in there kicking back at Nick when he pokes my belly. And we can so clearly make out her body shape... We can feel little feet pushing out and what we think may be an arm pushing out under my ribs!
Food cravings: Still apples!!
