Happy first work week of 2013! This past week was a pretty good week! We got back from Nebraska and celebrated New Year's, but we still needed a few more days together. I had to go back to work Wednesday, while Chris stayed home to extend his vacation just a little longer. He was mister project man this week though! We also had another doctor's appointment, which I was pretty nervous about, due to my high blood pressure last time. Before the appointment though, we ate lunch together and bought Ellie's baby bag! Here it is...
We've put it in her room, and all of her things go with already. Or it belongs in her room. Either way, I love it! We also got some sample colors on Wednesday night to test and try to decide which one we want to paint her room with...
I love these hues of teal, and hope we can choose one soon. Then we can get the nursery together and this will again feel all the more real! Hooray!
Though I was nervous about our doctor's appointment, I was also very excited because we were going to see our baby as our little girl finally. Last time, we had no idea what Baby V was and what it's name was, so this time was special. And the good news is, she's still a GIRL! She wiggled around for us, we saw her little foot, and we saw her covering her face with both arms! We are so in love with her already, and we can't wait to see her. It's incredible that the next thing to look forward to is her now, not fall or Christmas, but seeing our tiny girl! Goodness! Besides seeing that she was doing great, we got more good news...Better blood pressure! I am still taking the lowest dose once a day, but it is much better. We did learn that I am on the low end of the normal range for fluids when they measured, so that means more fluids and protein. And today Chris and I started exercising again today after a few month hiatus.
1. Total weight gain: Scale is working again...Boo... +5 lbs over these two holiday weeks, which brings my grand total to +27 lbs. I exercised tonight in response to that! :)
2. Maternity clothes?: Yes. They are my friends!
3. Stretch marks?: Not yet still! Keep on slathering on that Bio Oil and praying!
4. Sleep?: Man all that sleep over the break was amazing! Going to bed earlier and waking up earlier is no fun...

5. Best moment this week?: Seeing our healthy growing girl Ellie. Loved seeing her little foot and sweet profile! It was a relief to know that she is doing good, even despite my blood pressure issues.
6. Miss anything?: Can I say feeling thin again? Even though I know it's baby there, I still feel like a chubby bunny. Sigh.
7. Movement?: She wiggles and squirms mostly in the morning and at night still, and I am in love with it! I even felt her move when I put my hand on my belly last night!
8. Food cravings?: Dessert, chocolate, and milk.
9. Anything make you queasy or sick?: Nope!
10. Gender?: GIRL! Love choosing things for her room, and seeing all the girly things come together. There's not too much pink yet either, but there are so many cute other things that she already has!
11. Labor signs?: Nope!
12. Symptoms?: Once again, a wiggly girl in my tummy and heartburn in the night.
13. Belly button in or out?: In
14. Wedding rings on or off?: On

15. Happy or moody most of the time?: Happy this week! Chris and I got to spend time together relaxing, organizing our house, and getting stuff ready for Ellie. That always puts me in a good mood!
16. Looking forward to most?: Hmmm...Let's see...This weekend? With more down time with Chris and probably working on stuff around the house. Hopefully, we'll get to go talk with my Grandma about Eloise's quilt and bedding too!
Thank you for reading, even when I am a little belated!
