Babymoon: Vegas!

We thought we'd take one last trip before baby gets here. Well, actually Kyle surprised me with this trip.. isn't he sweet? So over Memorial Weekend we hit Las Vegas for a much-needed vacay. Stayed at the Venetian, very nice. Had some really good food, lots of pool time, shopping and gambling. We knew three other couples on the trip, and I even had a fun preggo buddy to hang out with as well.

The highlight of the trip for me was getting to see CHER!!!

Kyle did really well on blackjack this time... think he had a special good luck charm, and she's due in August ;)

What a difference a week makes

26 weeks...

Stay tuned next week for Vegas pics!!

Furniture...check. Bedding...check

FINALLY...ordered the furniture. I was beginning to think the baby was going to have to sleep on the floor. We went with the Munire line, recommended by several friends. It's the Madison Collection in cognac color and will convert to a toddler bed and then a full-size bed... so we shouldn't have to worry about furniture for a while.

The bad news is that it won't be here until July 15. For a preggo lady who is nesting, that is really cutting it close.

Oh and by the way, the bedding arrived. It's even more beautiful than I remembered. Can't wait to get the room painted and purchase the car seat/stroller. I will feel much better after that (hopefully).

Whoa...baby!

24 weeks...we have a checkup today. Next time we get another ultrasound (yay) and glucose test. They should do more ultrasounds, really. 

Loving all the moving and kicking. It's mostly in the afternoon and evenings. I guess she's not a morning person right now.

Three of my friends had their babies last week. So, that kind of kicked us into gear. Feeling slightly productive now. Signed up for birth classes in July, ordered the bedding, and getting ready to order the furniture this week. 

Gearing up for our Vegas getaway on Memorial Weekend! Kyle surprised me with a pre-baby trip. Can't wait to sport my bikini bump at the Venetian pool.

No more sportscar for LJ

Boo. The TL is gone. One more step towards adulthood: we bought a GMC Acadia this weekend! Another checkmark on the list of Baby Ford "to-dos".  Kyle wasn't exactly aware of this to-do ;)

My car was getting awfully hard to get in and out of, with the bowling ball that is now my stomach. I need to get accustomed to not zipping around Dallas anyway. So, by 4 months when she arrives, I should be a nice, safe driver (*wink*).

And yes, in true-LJ fashion, I've been like a teenage kid who just got their first car. I don't know how many errands I've made up to run.  Seriously, I will never change :)

Next on the list of to-do's...order the nursery furniture, finalize a name, and schedule birth classes (ugh).

Crib Bedding

Found the crib bedding this past weekend at Storkland. Paisley is my all-time favorite :)

The pic online isn't very good, (as you can see). I snapped a couple photos in the store with my phone and you can see the six different patterns below.

We decided on pale green walls with pink accessories and cherry wood furniture.

Easter

Went to Marshall for Easter to visit Kyle's parents. Had some good food...ham, sweet potatoes, chocolate pie, etc. Baby was loving it!
