Pregnancy time line and milestones:


07.06.09: got my BFP! Second month of 'trying, but not labeling it TRYING'. That was quicker than we expected! Due 03.14.10.

07.17.09: almost six weeks, told our parents and my grandparents the big news. First grandchild on both sides equals lots of squealing.

08.10.09: first appointment, at nine weeks, with transvaginal ultrasound. Saw the ticker! Could breathe again.

08.11.09: started telling close friends and other family. Letting it all sink in...

08.17.09: ten weeks, started telling the whole wide world including this blog, facebook, and work.

09.01.09: twelve week appointment, with doppler. Heard the ticker ticking away at 160 bpm! Total weight gained = 1 pound.

09.20.09: fifteen weeks, felt the first baby movement! Lots of jabs and flutters.

09.29.09: sixteen week appointment, heard the heartbeat again, this time at 145 bpm. Total weight gained = 6 pounds.

10.09.09: almost nineteen weeks, started wearing a Bella Band for my snug-fitting pants. Still no full-fledged maternity pants yet, but getting close!

10.23.09: almost twenty weeks, Nate was able to feel the baby kick for the first time. The next morning we both saw my belly move, too. Whoo hoo!

10.27.09: twenty week appointment, heard heartbeat at 153 bpm. Total weight gained=13 pounds. Gulp.

10.28.09: big ultrasound and IT'S A BOY! Weighing at 13 ounces and moving around like crazy, our son spread 'em wide open for us to see his gender. Nate has never been so happy.

11.24.09: twenty-four week appointment, heartbeat at 138 bpm. Total weight gained=18 pounds. And this is the first week someone flat out asked me 'Are you pregnant?' without already knowing the answer! Must be those maternity tops that I'm obsessed with now:)



Nursery progress:

The Inspiration: modern, eclectic, bold, NO pastels, and functional. Oh, and relatively inexpensive, please:

10.17.09: I painted the whole nursery myself in six hours, nearly killing myself. It's called 'Rushing Stream' by Valspar.

11.06.09: Mom comes to town and I put her to work on numerous fabric projects while I refinish two more furniture finds. Changing table/dresser from Craigslist $75 and rocking chair was free from my in-laws attic!

And another ugly panoramic to give you a better idea:

Then I start to get all artistic and stuff, painting canvases with blurred out first names on it:)

Organization is fun!!! I wish I had more time for it. I would take a month off of work and go crazy on my house. :)

So...is the plan to go register for things the instant you know boy or girl? :) I do love those scanning guns!

About Me

My Photo
Julia
I'm a newlywed transitioning in life. From a girlfriend, to a fiancee, to a wife, to a mother. From a Missourian to a Wisconsinite. From living separately to co-habitating with my husband. New jobs, new dwellings, a new business, new people, new goals, and a new baby on the way in March 2010. This blog will chronicle changes, and a lot of randomness, that is my life.
