Where are all the maternity clothes.....

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! This weekend my Mom came down and we did some shopping, something we are both very good at! We went to practically every store in Auburn and Opelika looking for maternity clothes. Needless to say after about 7 hours of shopping we only came up with a few things for me to grow into. Target, Due Date and Ross were the only other places that actually carried maternity clothes. There is also a cute store called Fun & Fancy that has a few items perfect for game day. I have to say it was very frustrating to walk into a store and find that they had no maternity section. Why is it that no one carries them anymore? Needless to say I only got a few tops and two pair of pants. Which means I have got to bite the bullet and go to Montgomery. In just the past week my belly has really grown, it seems like it happened overnight.

On the home front we have some more remodeling to do before the big arrival. We will be pulling up the last bit of carpet that is in the living room and replacing it with tile. I am so excited about this because I absolutely hate to vacuum. Once we get the tile done we are getting new living room furniture. YAY!!! The couches we have are the ones Josh had way before we got married. They are nice couches but dog hair latches on to them soooo bad. I am loving the chair and a half to replace our loveseat. But I have found this super cute paisley chair and ottoman that I may love more at Big Lots, which definitely suprised me! I think it would look great with a dark brown leather couch, preferably one that reclines at the ends.

As for our big anatomy scan....I am still in the dark as to when it will be. It was supposed to be scheduled last week but it still has not been scheduled. So we may go this week we may go next week, I am hoping it is still this week because I want to see Sully again soon!

17 Weeks!

Wow, the past week has flown by! In only 23 weeks we will get to meet Sully! This past week we have been trying to meet in the middle with what we will be calling our precious little boy. Josh's brother says Mini Doppler. This comes from the many nicknames Josh's dad has, one of which is Super Doppler, because he ALWAYS knows what is going on with the weather. No matter where he is or what he is doing he can usually quote weather statistics and has an at home weather station that he monitors daily. EDIT: As a result of this we have just come up with another nickname, Radar, crazy I know but I think it is kind of cute! So who knows what we will decide on, he may have two nicknames by the time he is born! On the pregnancy front I am feeling pretty good and enjoying this part of pregnancy much more. However, there are some things I am not enjoying about it though: sinus infection, fluid behind my eardrum, hamburger meat, processed food and sleeping on my left side. Some of my new loves include: tums smoothies, romaine lettuce, spinach, frozen yogurt, bella band and decaffeinated coffee.

As far as the nursery goes I have picked out the fabrics we will use. It is called "Over the Moon" and as you can tell it is a collection of nursery rhymes in a toile pattern with a pale yellow background. I absolutely love this pattern and if we ever decide to have another baby it can work for a boy or girl! I went back and forth on what fabrics we would use because honestly I did not want one of those cheesy baby rooms, but I still wanted something that was reminiscent of a child's room. I think I have accomplished the look I am going for with this pattern. I am also going to be using red in the room as well but have not decided whether it will be in a gingham, stripe or polka dot pattern. The inspiration for the room are the Red Coats in the pattern. I have 4 beautiful paintings of fox hunts, with the hunters in their red coats, that I received from my great Aunt last year. When we found out Baby H was a boy I just knew they had to be a part of his room and I think they will look great with the fabric! We go back next week for our "official" anatomy scan so I will update next week on how it goes! Hope you all have a great week and WAR EAGLE!!!!
