This week has been pretty standard, per usual. Just counting down the days until we close on the house! I spent the early part of this week editing our registries - so.much.stuff. :) We finally narrowed down our registries to Babies R Us, Target, and Buy Buy Baby. After making sure we didn't have a ton of duplicates, I think we're ready to go! I'm sure there are things on there that may seem silly to others, and other things that aren't on there that people think we should have - we'll learn as we go :) We still haven't narrowed down which crib we want, so don't think we're asking our friends and family to purchase 3 cribs. Those are just on there so that Bailey and I can remember which cribs we liked!!
Y'all. I learned last week that I'm going to tone down my temper prior to baby Grant getting here. Bailey and I took Cooper to the dog park last weekend with our friends Elizabeth & Stephen and their goldendoodle, Norman. Long story (not so) short, this man kept throwing the tennis ball to Cooper, and Cooper would bring the ball back to me. The guy was getting frustrated because Coop wouldn't bring the ball back to him. He kept calling him stupid, and even threw the tennis ball AT Cooper. He kept calling him Oreo, which I thought was strange, but I just assumed because he didn't know his name, he had made one up. After he pegged Coop with the ball, I turned around and looked at Bailey and said "if you don't set that guy straight, I'm going to go NUTS". So Bailey walked over to the guy and tried to make small talk with him, and kept calling Cooper by his name. Come to find out, the guy thought Cooper was his dog....Oreo. How does one confuse their dog with someone else's?!? Afterwards, it was pretty funny and made me laugh. But while it was happening, I was about to go all mama bear on him!!
This weekend Bailey and I headed south to Perry for my cousin's wedding. I directed her sister's wedding back in November, and was able to direct her wedding this weekend. It was a beautiful wedding, and we were SO thankful that the rain held off. Bailey and I enjoyed getting to spend time with Pepa and Mawmaw - we had to fight our way back to #1 grandchild status :)
We have another doctor's appointment on Friday. Last time we were there, Grant was a wiggle worm, thanks to the sweet tea I drank (whoops), so they weren't able to get a good measurement of his heart. That's the main purpose of this ultrasound appointment - make sure he's heart healthy :)
Other than that, we don't have much going on. Just counting down the days until my BIRTHDAY! 26 looks like it's going to be shaping up to be a great year!
How far along: 24 weeks
How big is baby?: An ear of corn - which I love. 8.5 inches, 1.5 lbs. Grant's supposed to be gaining 6 ounces per week! His ears can hear more, and his face is almost completely formed. His hair doesn't have any pigment yet, so I still don't know if my sweet baby will be a ginger...Total weight gain/loss: Don't know yet :) Find out on Friday!
Maternity clothes: all the dang time!
Sleep: Eh, I'm tired so I fall asleep quickly! But my arms fall asleep just as quick. So between that and bathroom breaks, I'm not sleeping as soundly as I like. and we all know how much I enjoy my sleep :)
Best moment this week: Stronger baby movement - I really have loved figuring out the patterns of when Grant moves, and figuring out what is gas and what is his actual movements ;)
Food cravings: Fruit still. :) I really REALLY wanted a sno-biz snow cone this weekend, and Bailey drove me all over Warner Robins looking for it. unfortunately, ALL of them were closed. Sad day.
Food aversions: Still chicken, but not as bad as before.
Gender: He's still a boy..
Labor signs: Negative, ghost rider
Pregnancy symptoms: Swelling and pretty bad headaches. The leg cramps still randomly happen in the middle of the night, but nothing horrible!
What I miss: a full night's sleep. I know, I know - I better get used to it.
What I am looking forward to: Ultrasound this week - it's always fun seeing the bay- bay!
Milestones: No huge milestones this week :)
