Halfway there!

It's so hard to believe we have already reached the halfway point!  It has passed by sooo fast!  The past two weeks have been pretty busy and we have offically begun tackling the bedroom that will become Baby Moore's nursery.  When we bought our house in September, we made our third bedroom into a temporary storage room for boxes and extra furniture, as well as all of the junk we didn't know what to do with.  A week ago Saturday, we finally got it all sorted and cleaned out.  We donated a ton of stuff to Goodwill, listed furniture on Craigslist, and filled our trash bin.  Now we can focus on getting it ready for this sweet boy! 

In planning the nursery, the one thing I have wanted to do from the start was find a dresser to paint/refinish.  My sister and I decided we would make this our project and immediately started searching for one.  I was excited to finally find the perfect dresser on Craigslist for an awesome price.  Eric and I, with some help from my brother-in-law, went and picked it up last week.  We can't wait to get started on it...I'll post before and after pictures once it is finished.  Eric and I also went and picked up his crib last week and I ordered a rug for his room.  I can't wait to get his room painted so we can start seeing it all come together!

20 Weeks

How far along: 20 weeks and 5 days

Baby's size: a banana – about 6 ½ inches long and weighs about 10 ½ ounces

Maternity clothes: Not yet, but my jeans are starting to get a little snug against my belly!

Sleep: I’ve been sleeping a lot better, for which I’m very grateful.  I still wake up about once during the night, but am usually able to get back to sleep without too much trouble. 

Best moment of the week: Finding a dresser and rug for Baby Moore's room and getting his crib bought!  Now we just have to get started on painting the nursery.

 Movement: Baby Moore has become very active over the past two weeks.  No

flutters…just full on kicks!  It is so incredible to feel him moving around.  Eric, my mom,

and my sister have now felt his kicks/movement.

Food cravings: I still don’t have any specific food cravings yet.

Symptoms: Occasional heartburn and acid reflex are really the only symptoms I’ve

 been having.  I’m still feeling pretty good!

Looking forward to: I’m really looking forward to getting started on putting the nursery together.  Eric and I plan to pick up some paint samples this week and get a color picked so

that we can get the room painted over the next few weeks.  I’m also excited

 about getting to work on the dresser!
