23 Weeks Pregnant!

Photobucket

How far along? 23 weeks!
Baby is the size of a: Large mango in terms of weight (just over a pound), and almost a whole foot long!
Total weight gain: Almost 8 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Rockin' the maternity clothes! Very comfy, but going to need new bras again soon... glad I only bought 2! I'm not super uncomfortable yet, so I'm going to hold out as long as I can.
Stretch marks? Just a few... None on the belly.
Sleep: Crappy... I was up at 2am this morning!
Best moment this week? Working on her nursery FINALLY, and getting lots of hand-me-down clothes from my good friend Sarah.
Miss anything? Good sleep!
Movement: Definitely a lot... I feel her on and off all day now, and other people can feel her too! Loving it!
Cravings? Mac n Cheese! I wanted some bad at 4:30 am, and we had none. I have since stocked up!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Labor signs: Nada.
Symptoms: Feeling pretty good, although I've got one hell of a waddle going on. ;)
Belly Button in or out? On it's way to out!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time? Very happy!
Looking forward to: Hopefully going to be painting here in the next few weeks, and then I can really get started putting all of my ideas into action! I am going to keep all the sneak peeks to myself (though I may post a pillow that I made last weekend, inspired by Pinterest) until I can show you everything!

Welcome!

Hi! If you're here, you probably got here because of my Nail Polish blog, Rainbows & Sparkles. If not, well... I guess you need to go check it out!

You might already know this, but my name is Amber, and back in December, my husband and I found out that our first little one was on the way! After trying for 6 months, we were BEYOND thrilled! Then, we found out that we're expecting a little girl, and we were ecstatic!

Now, we're just waiting on our sweet girl Zoey Ava to arrive this August! I'm a big DIY girl, so of course I'll be making everything that I can for her nursery! I'll be using this blog to keep track of my pregnancy, as well as show off my fun projects that I'll be making leading up to Miss Zoey's big debut! I can't wait to share my journey to being a mommy with you all... I hope you enjoy my pregnancy as much as I have so far! (But ask me again in July (in the middle of our scorching Tennessee summers) and I might change my tune!!

Until I'm ready for a new baby belly update, please check out my previous pregnancy posts, listed below!
