This week was an absolute whirlwind! I got some news at work on Monday that completely threw me into a position that I hadn't anticipated taking until next year. I started with the new position on Thursday, and it was definitely not what I had expected since a field trip was already scheduled for Friday and the arrangement wasn't exactly played out like we had planned. Thankfully, the kids are absolutely fantastic and prepared for the change, so I just hope that I can live up to their expectations and manage everything.
As far as baby news is concerned, hubby and I have started seriously looking at some nursery furniture options. There are so many options and so many different places to order those options, that we aren't sure where to start. We also don't know when we should start buying all of this stuff and getting everything set up. LOL It's a good thing that we're looking though, right?!
The one thing that I have no shame saying that I have started to do was look at decorations beyond what we have already purchased. I'm definitely going with owls as a theme, but we are determined to stick with very neutral colors so we can reuse everything for the next time if we decide to go for round two. I can't wait to get rid of everything in our "office" and get started putting stuff together!
How far along: 18 weeks
Gender: we find out in a week and a half!
Weight gain: +8 lbs…maybe 9 depending on the day…
Maternity clothes: my jeans no longer fit…I had to use the hair tie trick today!
Stretch marks: no, and I still haven’t gotten the belly line yet either.
Belly button in or out: in
Wedding rings on or off: on
Sleep: like a damn ROCK!
Have you started to show yet: yes, but still just looking chunky
Best moment this week: helping out with student council and starting a HUGE undertaking at work that will hopefully pay out in the long run!
Miss anything: wine…I could have used a BIG glass Monday night.
Happy or moody most of the time: this week I was pleasantly happy
Movement: I would say starting about Wednesday I definitely felt some butterflies and then Thursday and Friday I was sure that I felt bumps and pokes. :-)
Cravings: strawberries, and it was the first time I really wanted something sweet/fruity
Queasy or sick: feeling as great as I have been in 4 months!

Looking forward to: starting this stuff at school and managing all of the new changes
