Baby update time!!! Not a whole lot to report on other than baby with us lately. Kyle has been busy making hay still. I am so ready for fall, cooler weather and my husband home more!!! The rest of August is shaping up to be pretty busy for us, so I thought Id update now and hopefully give another update towards the end of the month/early September. Hope all is well with everyone and everyone is enjoying their summer!
How Far Along: 18 weeks  |
Baby bump and I before heading out to a bridal shower a couple of weeks ago :)

 |
| 18 weeks :) |
Gender: Wont know for a few more weeks :)
Baby is the size of: A sweet potato
Symptoms: Nausea is doing much better, only have a bad day here and there, sure beats everyday!!! However, I have been quite tired; I could sleep ALL DAY EVERYDAY if I let myself!
Sleep: Cant seem to get enough!!
Movement: Started to feel a little in the past week or so, I think it feels like popcorn popping in there! Such a neat experience! Now I’m ready to really feel it and share it with Ky!
Food cravings: Apples all day long! Really any fresh fruit is my friend these days!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Don’t ask me why, because I LOVE Mexican food, but for some reason if I see or hear a Taco Bell commercial I could almost puke on queue. I have not ate there forever, but the thought of Taco Bell makes me nauseous.
Belly button in or out: In
Maternity Clothes: Mostly all maternity pants, and a little of both when it comes to shirts.
Wedding ring on or off: Off, since I was so sick I have lost a bit of weight, which means the wedding ring is now too big. Bummer, but Im sure it will fit again soon!
Labor signs: Nope
Strangest Moment of the Week: Waking up and feeling like my belly is just growing over night! Ky jokes with me and says, “You’re not pregnant, you’re just full.” Well he has finally decided that fullness is definitely baby, its so funny to watch him react to my growing belly. If you know Kyle very well you know he has a hard time hiding his reactions and it’s so funny!
Fun moment this past week: Got to hear the heartbeat again this week! And my weight stayed pretty good at only down 1 lb. since last appt. so that was nice to know that Im on track to feeling better! My doctor even said she thinks I will be one of the lucky ones who only gains 10-15 lbs. with this pregnancy judging on how Ive been doing so fingers crossed thats true, that would be amazing!!! Since the last post we have purchased the paint for the nursery, which got painted this last weekend!!! Thanks much to my mother-in-law Jane for the help. The nursery has tall ceilings and is quite large so it was quite a bit of painting! We also bought two dressers for the nursery. One tall one and one longer short one we will use as a changing table. Other than that we have just bought a few gender neutral outfits and some accessories for the room!
 |
| View one side of the room (I didnt want to take a picture of the other side because its too bare yet for my liking). I love the way the paint turned out!!! |
 |
| Close up of the changing table dresser. So neat we picked these up at Backyard Candle Company. A little TLC and some new knobs will do this dresser a world of good!! So neat! |
 |
| Also a Backyard find, in need of some knobs but thats nothing Hobby Lobby cant handle. I absolutely ADORE this dresser, such a fun color for a nursery! |
 |
| Saw this while shopping for some more maternity pants a couple of weeks ago, was just too cute to pass up! My mother-in-law is so excited for this baby I just couldnt resist! |
What I am looking forward to this week: Getting the nursery put togethor, I am ready to start decorating! If you know me, you know I love a decorated home so it is killing me to have bare walls in there!!!
I am also excited to start getting things ready for our gender reveal party, I will definitely do a post on that, so if you don’t hear from me until then expect a gender reveal post in the next few weeks!!!
Thats it for the baby update, but thought Id sneak in some pics of our recent Rutledge trip finds. I think Kyle may have opened a can of worms taking me there, that is a antique lovers paradise :)
 |
| I found this welcome sign in this neat teal color I have been loving made from an old dresser drawer, so neat! |
 |
| An old jug of some sort, fits in with my other random old things...had to have it! |
 |
| This was my highlight of the day, this old phone so neat!!!! I bartered with the man selling it for a while until I finally got it for a price I could handle. Cant wait for this baby to go up on my wall! |
Thanks for reading, Jessica.
