I do not usually get too personal on this site, but people have been asking me for some baby details so I figured I would give you a sneak peek into the Vale household these days. Above is the petite's nursery. We went with a soft gray with banana yellow and teal accents. I am NOT a pink purple girl! I am going to try to post detail info {and better pictures} about the nursery sometime this month. It is such a peaceful room. The husband and I find ourselves in there a lot just hanging out.
I also found this super cute pregnancy update survey on Little Baby Garvin that seems like an easy way to answer everyone's questions. Here goes!
How far along? 36 weeks
Total weight gain? 30 lbs {started at 125 lbs...you do the math}
Maternity clothes? Gap maternity leggings and shirts {All of my maternity clothes are from Gap. Awesome & will be able to wear after pregnancy. Great fit!} and many of my pre-pregnancy shirts from Anthropologie
Stretch marks? Nope {thanks Mom!} Even my stomach tatoo still looks pretty good.
Sleep: horrible. Hips hurt and I keep flipping from side to side. Feel like I am sleeping on a basketball.
Best moment this week: Doctor's apt this morning to hear the petite's heartbeat and learn her position.
Miss anything: Bending forward, touching my toes, yoga, putting on my own socks, clear skin and wine. Being able to do all of my errands without asking for help. Crossing more than 2 things off my to do list a day. Riding in the car without getting attitude from the petite. My Gap jeans with buttons and zippers.
Movement: Hell yeah! Strong pokes in the ribs by little feet. She gets hiccups all the time poor thing. Rolls when she hears her daddy's voice :)
Food cravings: Originally french fries {thanks again Mom!}, now Starbucks small pink birthday cake donuts. Anything Asian, Chinese, Sushi etc. {rolls only though!}
Anything make you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: Girl
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks like crazy. Have had them since 28 weeks. Mild crampiness this past week.
Symptoms: Heartburn, hip pains and this past week swollen fingers and ankles at the end of the day.
Belly button in or out? Has been out for a while
Wedding rings on or off? Have been off for a while
Happy or moody most of the time? Content, but anxious about a first baby and labor.
Looking forward to: Labor being over. Someone handing me my perfectly healthy daughter and telling me all is well. Spending time with my family over the holidays. Being swallowed by all the holiday cheer. Looking at my Mom with a new found respect and awe and watching her help her baby learn how to mother her granddaughter.
Have a great weekend everyone! Soak up some holiday spirit!
