Last week my aunt Marfi came to visit us for the weekend and we got a few things accomplished. I wanted to go to Babies R Us and scope out strollers and car seats, however, both of the stores in the area were having "moving sales" and they are consolidating into a new store that opens Oct 12th. Awesome timing, even more awesome that I didn't know about these sales, so by the time I got there they had some lame clothing left and a whole bunch of shelving. Neither of which were on my list. We also went to Pottery Barn Kids and looked at a crib I was interested in as well as some bedding. Sprinkled into the trip were flu shots for both Ashby and I (yipee), eating out (I didn't forget how to cook, I just don't like to), maternity clothes shopping (Thank you Marfi) and cat time with Abby and Lloyd. Marfi and I looked at all my fabric swatches and compared it with a nursery picture out of the PB Kids magazine that I like. So far we know the nursery will be pink and white and the crib has been purchased (thank you Grandparents/Rick and Kelley/Mom and Dad). I'll do a follow up post on nursery ideas next week. If you follow me on pinterest you know I've pinned about every fabric available in the world this past week.
Ashby and I don't have much on tap for this weekend, hopefully a little organization and cleaning out the nursery. I need a blank slate to work with! Ashby has also given me a new name when it comes to the nursery..."Momzilla". I have no idea why?!?

This are all my nursery ideas that I taped up to the wall. I'm not crazy, I just needed a visual.
In the past two weeks my small bump has turned into a larger bump....
Also, I'm sure most of you know baby girls name but in case you do not it is Bailey Kate Walton.
How far along? 24 Weeks
Total weight gain: 10 lbs. I only know this because I went to the doctor last week.
Maternity clothes? I'm now into maternity clothes. Still use bella bands occasionally but I can't really zip my pants up much. Work wear maternity clothes are the best. Why can't I wear them all the time? I had to go ahead and take the plunge with the maternity clothes because things were starting to feel a little too tight, causing Bailey to move around a lot!
Stretch marks? None yet. Almost done with stinky burts bees lotion. My next option is body shop.
Sleep: Last weekend I was staying up until 11pm. Don't worry, it's caught up with me, I fell asleep at 9 last night. It just depends on the day.
Best moment this week: The crib getting purchased. First step in designing her nursery.
Miss Anything? Working out hard like I use to. I don't have the energy and can't hold my bladder long enough. I'm trying to keep up with strength training and walking but it's frustrating because I feel like I'm not accomplishing anything.
Food cravings: Anything sweet. There is candy in the office leftover from the conference in CA. Yeah, I totally had to limit myself today. Baby Ruths are delicious.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Same as the last post, lots of potty breaks and the fact that she is very active at night.
Belly Button in or out? In and I hope it stays that way.
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy : )
Looking forward to: Decorating the nursery. Fall weather.
The baby is the size of: Cantaloupe. Holy crap that's big.
That's all I've got for tonight. Time to finish my McFlurry and pass out on the couch. Here is a little song to get your weekend going. I like to change the words up..."Come on Bailey let the good times roll", or my personal fav "Come on moo moo let the good times roll". Ashby and I call Lloyd moo moo which could result in Bailey thinking cats say "moo" instead of "meow". Cat people problems. Enjoy!
Warning: This is a rap video., but has a really cool white guy in it wearing Ashby's sweatshirt. That is all.
