friday belly shot

Well I think I’m officially all belly and it’s taking over my body! I’ve grown sooo much in the last few weeks, but a growing mama means a growing baby! I’m to the point that people look at me with that “awww poor thing” face, but it’s nice that people help me open doors, carry stuff to my car, etc.  Can’t beat that!

It was a rough week in the first week of the third trimester.  Still been pretty sick, but it could be worse! It could always be worse…I’m so thankful to have a healthy growing baby girl.

28 Weeks!

I made the mistake of going diaper bag shopping yesterday.  OOPS.  Kinda fell in love with one bag.  And…then I saw the price tag.  Bummer.

There’s no way I can talk hubby into being ok with buying me a bag that costs $90.  Although I will use it everyday for several years.

I will keep trying to convince him.  But for now let’s all look at it and say “awwww…it’s so cute!!”

I’ll keep dreaming, saving my money & thinking of ways to convince the hubby that our baby girl will sleep through the night & be the easiest baby ever if her mom has this bag!

hello, my name is…

Yes, it’s true.  Our baby girl is not just “Baby Girl”.  She has a name.

Wanna know what it is?? TOUGH. We’re keeping it a secret.

That’s right. You all have to wait 3 more months to find out!!!! HA! What a fun game this will be for us!

It is a beautiful name that we actually came up with long before we were pregnant.  We had a list of names once we found out we were pregnant, but this name always came to the top of the list.  And after months of praying, we just really felt like that is HER name. The name God picked out for her. A beautiful name.

Believe me, I can’t WAIT to share the name with you all, because that will mean she is in my arms and not in my belly!

So, give me some guesses. What do you think her name is???

It’s not Gertrude. That’s your only hint.

quick mommy survey

Please help with this dilemma!!! Which is better? Which did/do you use, and which do you prefer and why? 

We have a small place, so not much room and I can’t decide which is more practical? I’ve narrowed down to these two options for where Baby Girl will lay her sleepy head until I move her to her crib, but now I just don’t know what’s best. 

 

PACK & PLAY vs. BASSINET 

Help a poor clueless mommy-to-be!
