week 25, movies and such

For some reason it seems like week 25 is a big important week of being pregnant for me, maybe its cause I am 25, who knows?  I feel so close to the end and I feel like I have sooo much to do to prepare for this little baby.  I have a bunch of ideas and a bunch of half finished projects.  I did list my couch and chaise lounge on craigslist.org so I hope they sell soon so I can somewhat get my living room looking the way I want.  The next thing I would like to start on is taking the upper old, slanted cupboards out of the kitchen and put open shelving in there.  That is what I wanted to do before we moved in but for some reason we didn't do it.  It has to get done before this baby comes or it'll NEVER get done.  Our room swap is still currently going on and I am sure it'll be happening for a while.  

As far as the pregnancy is going, it is still uneventful and I hardly ever feel pregnant other than I have a bulging belly and a baby that I can feel swimming around all day.  I don't really feel the super emotional side of being pregnant, I really feel like I am just the same if not more laid back than before.  I am sure if you ask my husband he would say something different!  This past week at work I think every other customer asked if I was pregnant and how it was going.  It is nice to finally be asked instead of just looked at.  I can see how answering the same questions over and over again might get annoying after a while.  Ill try to make the most of it!  Oh yeah, a customer bought me a cute little striped, fleece one-piece suit.  It was so unexpected and sweet, I have the best regulars!

Your baby rivals the average rutabaga in weight -- about 1 1/2 pounds. (Length: 13 1/2 inches, head to heel.)

week 25

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Last night Dan and I went and saw "Life as We Know It"  It was such a cute movie for expectant parents to see or really anyone.  Dan and I really enjoyed it and laughed a whole bunch.  If you get a chance go see it.

old record player case

 My sister-in-law DeAnna recently gave me this old record player case.  It works perfectly in our entry way and for now it is storing our extra throw blankets.  Maybe later Ill make it storage for our winter accessories.  You see the doors and how they are pretty scratched up, I think I am going to paint that part a moss green color.  What do you think?  The mirror pictured is one of the few decorating pieces I let Dan put in the living area, it still needs to be moved over a bit.
I also wanted to share something my Dad did for our baby.  Click here to read about it.  Thanks again, Dad, our baby is lucky to have you as a grandpa!
