25 Weeks Down

So we are getting closer folks! I know that 15 weeks is still a long ways to go, but for some reason this number is just making me feel a little anxious. We still have a lot to get done before our little gymnast arrives and Ryan is so busy with school I don't know when we are going to fit it all in. Luckily he will have a good break in December and since we can't fly home for the holidays he should be able to get a lot done for me! I will be working still so I guess I will just have to create my first official honey-d0-list.

Everyone has been asking how I am feeling and I am honestly feeling great! Sleeping is starting to get a little more uncomfortable and while the size of various other things seems to be expanding rapidly, my wardrobe unfortunately seems to be shrinking. I am able to stay off my feet for the majority of the day at work, and then come home make dinner and try to find motivation to use my gym pass that I am still paying for each month. Luckily I have a good workout buddy who at least gets me there once or twice a week.

We haven't completely decided on her name, but are leaning heavily towards one option. I thought deciding a name would be much easier than it has been, but there is just so much to think about! We finally made some major baby purchases this last week by ordering her crib and bedding, and then buying a changing table off Craigslist. Everything should be arriving within the next week or so, which is perfect timing as we are flying in a top designer from out West to help us with the nursery. And by top designer I mean my Mom! Yes, she is coming next week to spend a little time tutoring me on what I must do to try to be as great of a mom as she is. I will be taking copious notes on all things raising baby, as well as turning over complete creative license to her in the nursery department because we all know her genius as a decorator; I really can't wait until she gets here and we are able to really experience this pregnancy thing together for a while!

Ryan is also doing great. Just keeping busy busy with school. 2nd year has a bad reputation of being a major bully and so far isn't letting us down. Lucky for me a I have the most easy going husband in the entire world, so although he may be busy he never takes his stress out on me or gets frustrated when I tear him away from studying to drive 3o minutes across Columbus just to "look at" a Craigslist changing table (we ended up getting it so it WAS worth it). I am so thankful for all he does for me and our growing family, and can't help but fall in love a little deeper each time he tells me and my belly we are beautiful or gets excited when he feels our little girl kick.

So with 15 weeks to go we are still happy, in love, and more excited then ever to meet Little Miss P!
