Falling Behind

Okay so I haven't posted anything in a week, I try to do two a week about something and sometimes there is really not much going on to talk about, this week it was the opposite - too busy and too tired.

Last weekend I went with a couple of girlfriends to Babies R Us and registered.  I was fortunate to have them with me since they both have gone through this before and could give me advice about what they had liked and disliked and what I would need, but some things there is just no way to really know.  Like what kind of bottle to get.  Everyone has an opinion about what type(s) they used and liked or didn't like for whatever reason and relative to whatever feeding issues that that baby had.  There is really no way to know what type I will like, I just have to try some.  Overall I think I did okay and can still make adjustments if I do more thinking about meeting my needs.  We had fun spending a day out just the girls (and baby Camden) but it ended up being a long day and I think we were all tired by the end.

Sunday I went with Kris' mom to the fabric store to look for fabric for the nursery.  Thank goodness Margaret was there, and in the end we did find four fabrics to mix together that I think are going to look really great - thank you Margaret for doing that all for us - but it was tough.  It was all me just not being able to find the right thing and the right combination.  Of course then you find one fabric you like but the blue in it is different than the blue you find in another fabric and not in a way you can put them together and use both...  Anyway it was hard to find it all, but in the end I am happy and now we are moving forward on that.  It will be a gingham, polka dot, stripe, and argyle plaid combination of blues and browns.  I will have to post pictures once it is done.

Kris is thinking he might do wainscoting in the room.  I think that or a chair rail and two different colors of paint will be very cute in the room.  With the off white bedroom furniture I am not sure if white wainscoting will look good, but really I suppose you won't notice that much once all the dressing is in the room and that furniture won't be in there forever...  We'll have to see.

Baby is doing well, we are starting to talk about names but I'm not sure when we will actually decide on one or if we will tell what it is.  Sometimes I don't think I am growing that much since I look around at my pregnant friends and they are all bigger than me, but they are further along and for some the second child so just are going to be bigger sooner.  Also while I am feeling our little boy, I am not feeling him a lot and so then I think maybe he is not moving much or enough and is he okay? Really I am sure I am just busy and not noticing and he will only get stronger, it is just taking me a little longer to really feel than some.  I just have those moments of paranoia.

 My next appointment is not until the second week in May and that will be my Glucose check.  I get to drink the yummy sugar drink.  I feel like everything will be fine, but I do need to cut back on the carbs, I'm not trying to grow and 12 pound baby here.  Other than that I am just trying to keep moving and sleeping and eating right to grow this little one.
