I'm a Scary Roommate

My youngest sister Julia is staying with us while she takes a class at Millersville. It's really nice to have her around since she was away at college the last 4 years.

This morning around 5am, I got up to pee for the 2nd time (which is a miracle, usually that's the 4th time). And when I went back to bed, I heard our cat Domino meowing. This is pretty normal stuff since he meows around 5/5:30 every morning (though we've been hearing it less because we shut him out). But it seemed to be really whiny meowing so I was worried.

I got up to explore and try to find him. Sometimes he gets stuck in closets or rooms with the door shut so I was checking all the rooms.

I decided to check upstairs, where Julia is staying but thought i'd check the other bedroom first, and then I moved through the Jack n Jill bath into Julia's room. I didn't know she was a light sleeper! Because she screamed and must've thought i was some sort of intruder! Needless to say, I scared the crap out of her and I felt bad about it, so much that I couldn't go back to sleep for another half hour (since I found Domino directly afterward).

So i'm the scary roommate. Lesson learned.

Also, Alex slept through the WHOLE thing. lol

Then i proceeded to dream that part of our house burned off (though there wasn't any fire) and also that we had an outdoor pool, that i didn't know about, as well as an indoor pool, that i didn't know about. And then i found lots of hidden rooms in the house filled with his grandparents old stuff. I also dreamed that I was driving a white vw beetle and i decided to get out to ski up a hill (as opposed to down, funny thing is, there were other people skiing up the hill) but when i reached the top, i didn't want to leave my car, so i had to go back to get it. That's all i remember. Crazy wacked out dreams!

Pregnancy Websites

My two favorite pregnancy websites are:

babycenter.com
and
pregnancytoday.com

BabyCenter has this thing called a January 2012 Birth Club group that has all the other people who are expecting in January talking on it. It's neat to see what they're writing about, plus some people also post pictures.

Pregnancy Today has the best (i think) week by week description of how the baby is growing, what's happening to you, etc. Even before I was pregnant I read through the whole week by week just to see what I was in for.

It's still kinda crazy to me that there's a baby growing in there but last night i pushed my hand into my belly and thought i could feel the heartbeat. Who knows if that's true. They say you can start to feel bubbles or butterflies around 16 weeks (next week) and that's the baby moving. I'm sure they'll be lots of excitement next week with the wedding!

14 weeks 3 days

 See this bump. Doesn't it look smaller than the picture I took three weeks ago? Why yes, yes it does. The difference? This picture was taken this morning. The other picture was taken in the evening.

In all honesty though, the tum tum is growing little by little. I feel like my belly button is also turning into a sink hole and getting wider. Weird. I know.

I'm still feeling good. We have an appointment next week and i'm hoping I didn't gain too much weight since the last appointment. This week the baby is the size of an apple and next week it's an avocado. I guess it's a small apple if next week is an avocado, unless it's a larger california avacado as opposed to a haas avocado. Be specific babycenter! just kidding.

In other preggo news, there isn't any. Things are going smoothly and I feel great. I have been getting a little bit of throat burn which i attribute to what heartburn would feel like in the throat (but probably a little less intense). Tums take care of it.

So that's all folks. Oh, i do want to comment on the loveliness of the day. Upper 80's and no humidity is THE LIFE. Perfect night to play volleyball!

What we did this weekend

Friday night we went to dinner with Alex's parents at Iron Hill. After we got home and settled we watched the 4th Harry Potter. Those movies are loong but it never seems like you've just spent over 2 hours on the couch.

Saturday morning we headed down to DE, Alex headed off to Nick's bachelor party with Matt and Marci and I stayed with Laurel. We went shoe shopping, we lunched, we went to the pool, we worked on wedding stuff (so glad we could help!), we watched SALT and we went to bed. Salt was good, a lot different then I expected but good. The pool was also amazing. Makes me wish I had a pool or at least had one within walking distance!

Sunday we awoke and hung out until the guys got back. Laurel made lunch and then we headed home. Alex and I watched another Harry Potter, had tacos for dinner and just relaxed. It was a nice way to end the weekend.

That was a pretty short explanation but i'm cool with it. I feel pretty tired at the moment. The next couple weeks are going to be pretty busy which is good because then we won't think about how much longer it will be until we find out the sex of the baby. We decided we're not going to go early, we'll just wait until 20 weeks. We have plenty going on between now and then, like a wedding, buying a new car, saying goodbye to two friends, and river tubing. That should keep us busy, hopefully I can document all of those things with pictures, unlike this past weekend!

Hope this week isn't as hot as last!

Funny

I got this in a pregnancy email from babycenter.com

I thought it was cute. That's how i feel in the morning but not in the evening! HA!

Happy Weekend!

I hope your weekend consists of one of these:

Some of this:

And at the very least, one of these:

Because it's just so darn HOT!
Happy Weekend!

Nursery Inspiration {Pinterest Edition}

Lot's of nursery inspiration on Pinterest. Probably too much! The good thing is, a lot of it is DIY and easy. Without further adieu.

The bedroom that will become the nursery is currently an aqua bluish color. We don't plan to repaint even if we have a girl because that's too much of a hassle, and i enjoy the blue. I've found plenty of nursery ideas that have blue walls, as you can see above. I really like the pinwheels and the mobile with the tree branch and paper butterflies. I also like the bottom image, that i forgot to put into the collage, the genius of that is.. it's made out of toilet paper rolls that are glued together! crazy, right!?

We don't have a theme that we're going with but depending on gender we'll push it a little more one way or the other. But we'll have to wait and see for that!

Guess what, tomorrow is friday! I'm pumped!
