29 weeks! 77 days to go! He moves around allll of the time, even waking me up throughout the night from his bumpin’ and grindin’ in my tummy. It’s practice for when he’s here with us and waking us up throughout the night all over again, right?
Since we found out I’m pregnant, we have been joking about getting to use the “Expectant Mother Parking” often. Of course, we had yet to ever actually see any expectant mother parking, go figure. WELL. This week, that all changed, my friends. We were at Buy Buy Baby (yes- again) and sure enough we saw the elusive parking spots, and obviously we had to take advantage. I mean, how could we not. And it was awesome. And we took a picture, because that’s what we do.
I found a leaning mirror for the nursery! At my beloved Home Goods. Gosh, I love that store. If I could buy the entire store, I absolutely would. They just get me. Anyway, I am SO HAPPY with the mirror, as I have been searching for a veryyyy long time for the perfect one, but have usually been disappointed by either the frame not being right or the size not being right or of course it being way too expensive. Well. Home Goods delivered. Ain’t she a beauty?! It’s even bigger than it looks in this picture, and I LOVE it. More pictures to follow, don’t you worry. When the nursery is more complete and doesn’t have a bicycle amongst other things in it. Ahem.
More pregnant-related things this week:
– Still have no name.
– I get emotional at everything, including that Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl with the puppy and the horses (but who didn’t, right?!)
– I’m back to waking up at least three times a night for the bathroom, so yay (not)
– Annnnd nesting is in full effect. Like, all systems go.
– Also, our cats are acting more baby-ish than ever, which is kind of humorous but also kind of sad because they have noooo idea how much their lives are about to change. I still baby them nonetheless. Good practice, no? ;)

I TOTALLY teared up at the puppy/horse commercial! So adorable. And awesome pick with that mirror- I love the frame!
Katie
Right?! It was by far the best commercial- although that’s not saying much since there weren’t many good ones!

Feel the same way about Home Goods. If only I were a millionaire…
Katie

I am so happy for you! All the shopping and planning and nesting as you said is all part of the fun. Minor things like a bike in the room with not matter, you will see. So it can even stay. Decorate it. Amen. HAHA
Now you get up to go to the toilet and later on, you will get up for other reasons. You are still beautiful so you are OK with your sleeping. I on the other hand, must go and change a diaper…

This is true about the bike- but it’s only there temporarily anyway, so that’s good! :) I’ve been sleeping enough, just in chopped up amounts. You know how it is!

the puppy/horse commercial, omg. I saw it on Facebook a few days before the super bowl and had been sharing it with everyone everyday since! I DIE!
i LOVED being able to park in “expectant mother” parking ;) it was so fun. the first time we went to a baby store AFTER having the baby my boyfriend goes “aww no more front row parking for you” lol
Katie
RIGHT?! It’s the best commercial I’ve seen in a while, even if it is for nasty beer ;) haha so funny about the parking too. It’s definitely a perk!
