Weeks 21 & 22

I'm 23 weeks this week, but here's some updates about weeks 21 and 22.  It's amazing to me the difference in movement the last week.  I had felt some kicks and rolls before, but not consistent and Chris hadn't felt them yet.  Now I feel him move all the time.  I love it.  Although it's making sleep much harder than it already was.  I swear his little legs are right on my bladder and I have to pee all the time.  Sleep seems to come in phases and I'm currently in a not good one! I can't get comfortable and wake up often.  But it is really nice to feel his kicks while I'm laying there.  I did tell him I'd be okay if he was a little less active than Addilyn once he comes out! 
I've started getting really bad acid reflux this last week.  I don't remember having that until the end with Addi.  I've been eating tums often, but it doesn't seem to help a ton.  Any suggestions? I'll make sure to ask my dr next week when I go!  
I ordered fabric for a changing pad cover and crib sheet and am going to attempt to make my own. I'm super excited to work on his nursery and start making things for his room.  I've been collecting quite a bit of clearance clothes for him and love looking at them and refolding them in his dresser. Boy stuff is pretty cute after all! 
Addilyn is still pretty interested in everything for "the baby" and thankfully she's starting to say baby brother more than baby sister.  She kissed my belly often and always wants to say goodnight to him. It is so sweet and while I know the transition is going to be rough on her, I am so excited to see her love on him!  
We have two names we love, and the last week or so are pretty sure we like one better than the other. I'd love to know his name for sure, so we can start calling him that, and so that Addilyn can get used to it too.  She suggested Batman and car the other day, so we should probably get a real name in there soon!  
As tiring and exhausting that I feel pregnancy is, I am so thankful for the blessing to to carry this sweet boy and love him so much already!  

I may never

scarf: gift     sweater: loft      tank top: shade clothing      skirt: target    boots: steve & barry's

I may never have enough scarves.   I may never do a vlog.  Mostly because I don't want to type the word vlog again.  It's in the same category as the word jeggings.  That and I have no desire to film myself and listen to it.  It's awkward enough taking pictures of myself. 
I may never not get nervous talking in front of a group of adults.  But eight year olds I can handle.    
I may never learn how to really apply make up.  My routine is the same if I'm going grocery shopping, to work or to a wedding.  I need help. 
I may never like eating real food over desserts, like this one that I recently made.
  

I may never love Mondays.  Hope you have a good start to the week!

High 5 for planning

tank top: old navy   sweater: kohls   pants & wedges: target

1. This looks practically identical to an outfit I just posted.  Maroon pants and polka dots.  These may be the only pair of non maternity pants that are still comfortable so I intend to wear them often.  
You can believe that before I knew what we were having I was already busy pinning ideas and planning for our baby girl or boy.  So my next four things are things that I am loving for our baby!
2. After making my elephant stuffed animal and elephant canvas, I just ordered this fabric to make a crib skirt.  Then I may have reached my elephant limit.

3. I love how this closet is organized and love the tree wall decal:

4. I think the idea of turning an ultrasound into a canvas is so neat, and want this light green color in the nursery.

5. And I am also excited for baby showers, which means baby shower invitations.  I recently found the company tiny prints, which has all things baby and kids.  Meaning I will be checking it out for birth announcements too! There are so many cute options, but I think these are two of my favorite invitations: 

elephant invite                                                                              owl invite

Speaking of baby showers, that means registering! Chris and I are planning on starting this weekend and I am a little overwhelmed!  Feel free to tell me your favorite few things that I should register for!
Hope you have a great weekend!!
