Hope y'all have had a great week - and welcome December! Now, I can officially decorate my cubicle, office and house (sorta) with Christmas, and not a day before the 1st. Bring on the peppermint mocha coffees & creamers, spiced pecans (ahem... Jenn...) & oh ya, hopefully closing on our house! Yep, I signed about 60 pages of the application thingy the other day, and the lender said that he's going to aim to close by the 21st! That would be awesome, b/c maybe we won't have to move twice! If we could do that, maybe we could move all our things over to the new house that weekend. However, I think I am going to wait, or try to persuade my husband to wait - so that we can get in there, clean really good (ahem... Carrie...) and maybe even get the popcorn ceiling fixed. If we get one of those pod things, our things can just sit there in storage anyway. My concern is what if we don't close by the 21st, we won't know that until well, the 21st. So I think we'll go ahead, pod it up, and stay w/mom for a couple of weeks. Then do the cleaning, popcorn, paint (ahem... Chris...) and then move our stuff in - before the end of this year! Soo.....here's hoping! ;)
Spent last night w/some girlfriends - Diva Christmas! Lots of fun to get together w/them, and play silly games. We don't always have the same crew b/c mommies have their duties (which I will know soon enough!), but when we can see each other, it's always great. Had some scary news that interrupted us a bit, but thankfully, it's not super super serious. Just super serious, so we're praying that two of our divas' dad has a speedy recovery from his motorcycle accident. Thank the Lord, he was not more injured than what he went thru. All in all, the weekend went pretty well, and we are keeping our chins up! While I was away at my slumber party, Don & Coco had their own slumber party @ his friend's house. Coco apparently was going full throttle, playing w/his dog (her boyfriend - a 50lb+ dog that just lets her walk all over him), chasing lizards, obsessing over whatever was under the mower... so she is so sleepy & cuddly today. aww...
And on that note, here's my 18 week update. Funny thing, these updates are at the start of the week, and when I fill in the questions below, I'm basing it on the week prior. I hope it's not misleading, and maybe it'll catch up later, and I'll adjust it. Or maybe this is just how it goes. Either way, thanks for stopping by!
How far along? 18 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss? total 4lbs lost (turns out I did gain from Turkey day...)
Maternity clothes? Yes -- went shopping w/my pregnant girlfriend & found that not only is it fun, but it's dangerous!
Stretch marks? no
Sleep? oh yes
Best moment this week? Meeting w/the photographer that will be shooting my gender reveal pics next week & sharing our ideas! (and shopping w/my preg friend - who is 1 wk ahead of me & just found out she's having a girl!!)
Miss anything? man, I had something really good to put here, but I totally forgot! does that mean I'm not missing anything?
Movement? nope
Food cravings? nah
Anything make you queasy or sick? watching my clothes just sit there, not folding themselves makes me sick. That and eating like garbage - ugh. I ate mcdonald's for lunch one day (I know, don't scold me, I went thru enough pain) & have felt terrible since! I also had coke a few times this week, and I think I'll not do that as much. It just makes me feel off - not fun. I'll be avoiding that & sticking to cleaner, fresher foods (fruits, veggies, etc).
Have you started to show yet? I'm going to say yes w/this one. I can't hold my stomach in anymore, the bump is high, but it's out! Bring on the belted cardis, tops, etc. I love it!
Gender? appt is for this Tuesday... hope the baby cooperates! Be patient w/the reveal, something fun is in the works!!
Labor signs? no
Belly button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody? Happy!
Looking forward to: finding out what team baby H will be on , beau or bow! Also, the photo shoot - and making our friends freak out w/anticipation!!
