24 weeks! 6 Months!

Some days I have a small belly and other days it seems huge! Its usually bigger by the end of the day.

How far along? 24 weeks (6 months)

Size Of Baby:  About a foot long and weighing a pound.

Sleep: I wake up to pee a lot more now. Have to sleep on my sides. Most comfortable with my legs wrapped around a pillow.

Maternity clothes: Shirts are starting to get a little short/tight. Got some shirts a size up and they have plenty of room. I have 2 XS maternity shirts too. Some pants are tight to button, so I use my belly band.

Stretch marks? No pregnancy stretch marks yet.

Best moment this week: Seeing my stomach twitch and move when the baby moves or has hiccups.

Miss anything? Lunch Meat! Having Energy!

Movement: Lots!Especially at night!

Cravings?: Lunch Meat! Im craving lunch meat badly. Clam Chowder. Salt and Vinegar chips!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Eggs. I didn't like eggs before pregnancy and I still don't.

Gender: Not sure yet. Moose keeps those little legs closed every time!

Labour signs: I haven't had any, which is a good thing!

Symptoms: Peeing Constantly! Back pain.

Belly button in or out? In.

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm always pretty happy. Unless I'm exhausted or starving

Baby related purchases?: Will be buying more stuff when we find out the gender.

Looking forward to: Another Ultrasound! Decorating the Nursery!

At least Im not the only one

My blogging lately has been nonexistent. Ive noticed that I'm not the only pregnant blogger who went missing at times during their pregnancy though. I honestly don't mean to. My days pretty much go like this....

If I have to work: I get up, go to work, come home, eat if I didn't eat at work, shower, than go to sleep. If I work the next day, I repeat that. I feel like a Zombie. I eat, sleep, and work, Over and over again.

My feet kill me after I get off work. I can pretty much wear heels or flats to work, so I wear flats. I got gel pieces for the part the rubs the back of my ankles because I got blisters. My feet are swollen and so achy though by the end of the day, but what else would I expect after working 7-8 hour shifts? But I really don't know what to do because the pain sometimes is unbearable! Any suggestions would be great!

If I don't work, I go to my Fiance's and spend my days off with him. Mostly eating, sleeping, and being babied/pampered :) And I do have to say, it is really nice after working a few days in a row!

I have plenty of new things to blog about though, so hopefully I keep these posts going! I still have regular clothes on, so I'm going to go take my 24 week picture for my update tomorrow!

Who doesn't like getting cheap diapers?

Since being in the hospital Sunday night, and starting my new job, I have been tyring to relax and take things easy. Not being able to fall asleep until after 4am and then having to get up at 8am, leaves me pretty tired in the evenings. Tonight I ran a few errands and I'm glad I did because I found a great deal!

This week (until Sunday) CVS has Pampers brand diapers on sale. The 36/40 packs of swaddlers, baby dry, and cruisers are all on sale. They start off 2 for $19, which isn't that great of a deal, but if you use a CVS card (Which is free for anyone to get), the diapers become 2/$16. (After you pay the $19, you get a printed paper for $3 which you can use on your next purchase, its pretty much like a paper gift card good for anything in the store.) Diapers then become $8 a piece, which is an okay deal. But the savings don't end there!

I signed up to receive coupons from Proctor and Gamble in the mail. (The company that makes pampers, tide, Always brand pads, Tampax, Luvs, and many others). I had a $2 off one pack of pampers and a $1 off one pack of pampers coupons. So my diapers became 2/$13.

You can sign up to receive Proctor and Gamble coupons here. You can also sign up for free samples and print coupons there.

CVS also had a coupon for $4 off a $20 purchase. So I had them Scan that coupon first, and then the rest of my coupons.

My final price paid for diapers came out to 2 Packs of 36 count diapers for (Drum roll please....) $9

Which is a great deal if you ask me :)

Do you want cheap diapers?

If you don't have any pampers coupons, you can find some here.

This will give you a total of $3 off of the 2/$16 (becoming 2/$13). I'm not sure when the $4 off $20 coupon expires, but you still might be able to get that too! (CVS will also send you emails with coupons and check their website too for extra coupons! You can view their weekly ad online as well.)

If you don't have a CVS card, sign up! Its Free! Most peoples tricks to getting cheap diapers is buying them from drugstores with deals like these!

I didnt disappear for good/Nursery

So I promise I didn't disappear for good. I just had a rough couple of days.
I have been having some pain and cramping issues lately and Ive been trying to rest and take things easy, so I haven't pulled the laptop out.

Anyways, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for Moose's Nursery. Despite the fact that I wont get another ultrasound to be sure he is a boy until August!, I still want to start decorating. We have the extra room in the house, but I'm not sure if I want to use it or not. Now that might sound crazy, because why wouldn't you use it? But right now it has a bunch of stuff in it and it would need a lot of work and money put into it to make it ready in time. Plus, S and I would like to move eventually (sometime soon). I just don't want to put a whole lot of time and money into a room, and then move out a month later. The room is big enough for now to put Moose in it with us, so I might just do that and decorate it a little. I don't have much of a theme either, maybe just a color scheme.

Here are some ideas that I love...



The blues, oranges, and greys in this just look great together! I love it. Our room is already grey, so the colors could be a good idea. But all of the furniture and baby crib we picked are dark wood. I like this for a little boy.



Its not the nursery I like in this picture, but the dedicated wall space with the baby pictures on it. I love it! It would be nice to have a pregnancy picture, than a newborn one, and a year old picture. It would be great.



The colors in this are a little plain, but the green looks nice with the dark wood and I love the tree decal in the background. S is a great artist and could do some amazing work for the Nursery.

I have almost 18 weeks left to figure it out (give or take a few weeks). Hopefully I make up my mind by then! lol.

The worst thing that could happen to a pregnant person!

So today, something completely horrible happened :(

All of this amazing looking food you see... Waffle fries, milkshakes, chicken nuggets, and spicy chicken sandwiches.... This is what I want. All of it. Its all I can think about. But there is only one problem....


Chick fil A is CLOSED on Sundays! How could they do that?! Don't they think about the poor pregnant women sitting at home craving their delicious food?



I might just wait until July 13th and go. That's only a few days from now. It will be worth waiting to get a free meal!
Yes I will be one of these people, along with friends and their kids, to dress like this...



If anyone else is interested in getting A FREE MEAL from Chick fil a, check out their website
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Cows/Appreciation-Day
Anyone dressed as a cow will get a free meal of their choice. Kids will get a free kids meal. I think it is hilarious. I will make sure I do a post about this to show off our costumes.

Pinterest.

This isn't a picture of me, but I think it is a gorgeous pregnancy picture. I love the dark on the lighter background. I have a hard time finding pregnancy photography that I actually like. By the time Im ready to take my pictures, I probably still won't know what all I want to do.

There are a lot of ideas you can get from Pinterest. Anything from photography ideas, diy instructions, Nursery decoration ideas, and much more! It is so hard not to look at pins and not get ideas for the future!

I want to do this with Moose's feet. But I was thinking more Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and then a year. It would be great to have a few years from now to look back on.

I just love this! Even the colors look great.

I love this newborn picture! Its so sweet.
