| This is me, after 5 days of working my butt off! |
Baby is the size of an: Rutabaga in size... About 13 and a half inches long!
Total weight gain: Still 9 lbs... No gain from last week.
Maternity clothes? Yep! Like my maternity shorts?
Stretch marks? Same as last week!
Sleep: Ehhh.... Tossing and turning!
Best moment this week? Painting Miss Z's nursery! We got all of the spare bedroom furniture moved out, and painted the whole thing... Yep! PINK! Also, my mom came over and helped me clean out the entire kitchen, so we got rid of a lot of things and replaced them with things that we received as wedding presents... It's like living in a new kitchen! :D
Miss anything? Good sleep and a big glass of wine.
Movement: Less this weekend, but probably because I've been so active... I'm sure she's worn out too!
Cravings? Nothing out of the ordinary.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms: Still the usual... I get tired easily, I've got some rockin' heartburn, and a pretty significant waddle... Closing in on the 3rd tri!
Belly Button in or out? Flat!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on! I hope they stay that way!
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to: The pool opening at the end of this month!!!
Now for a few teaser pictures! Of the many projects I did this weekend, here are some cute ones. I succeeded in making some tissue paper pom poms to put together as a mobile above Z's crib! I just used basic tissue paper from Walmart (A little over a dollar a pack, take THAT, Martha Stewart with your expensive, stupid, useless kit!) and some jewelry wire. I hung them from the ceiling with white thread and a screw-in cup hook!
Aren't they cute??! I also have some of those
yarn balls that I made with brown yarn... they're drying as we speak, so I can't hang them up yet, but they'll be hung tomorrow! If you want to make some of these cute poms, check out
this great tutorial that I found from Nothing But Bonfires!
Also, I started painting some cute bird houses that I found at Joann Fabric & Crafts (My favorite store!!) for $1!! With my discount (thanks to my hubby working there), it was even less than that! I got 3 different ones, and painted them in coordinating nursery colors.
I know, they don't match at all right? Oh, but that's because you haven't actually seen the fabric! The thing is, the crib quilt features 3 little birds, one in each of these colors! So now, each bird has it's own house! Cute!
I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peeks... There will be more and more in the coming weeks, until everything is done! :)
Also, stay tuned for a post (hopefully this week) featuring some adorable headband clips that I made this weekend for Zoey as well! I dabbled in felt and, well... I'm a little obsessed!
See you soon!
