25 Week Update

Hey everyone! So I am 25 weeks and counting! I had my 25 week check up this past Thursday. Everything seems to be great. My belly is measuring right on schedule and baby girl is still kicking up a storm. She is very active thats for sure! Baby is measuring about the size of a rutabaga this week, haha, a rutabaga, can't Baby Center come up with some other sort of comparison! Sometime between now and 28 weeks I have to go do the dreaded Glucose test, ugh. From what I have heard the sugary drink they give you is really gross. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

So news on the nursery, I have finally selected the crib bedding, which you can see below. I told myself I was not going to do pink but I found this bedding at Restoration Hardware and could not resist. It will go great with the furniture we are planning to put in that room and also the carpet that is in the babies room. Now I just need to get creative with curtains. I am going to see if someone will make for me!

Thursday evening I headed down to Williamsburg, VA for a 2 day Pediatric conference. I went back in time to the Colonial Period! If you have never been to Williamsburg, it is a really neat place, lot's of fun stuff to do. I stayed at the Williamsburg lodge and got to venture out a little bit to see the town. I definitely want to come back and spend some more time! I am heading home today to hopefully watch the SC game online and cheer on my Gamecocks. Fran and I may go see Saw 3D tonight, scary, but it's halloween, so it will be fun! Everyone have a nice halloween and Go GAMECOCKS!

Here is our little rutabaga, haha!

Shields Tavern where I had dinner last night, it was yummy colonial comfort food!

And yes I had some nice warm apple cider!!

Just a pic in Williamsburg, see they do dress up and everything!

October Update!

So sorry I have not posted in quite a while, we have been quite busy in this household! I have been doing quite a bit of travel for work and so has Fran. We are both ready for November to get here so our schedules slow down some!

Baby Girl Person has been quite active lately! Right around 20 weeks I could start to feel her moving around in my belly, but over the past couple of weeks she has been SUPER active. It's like she is having a party in my belly. She really loves to kick mommy's bladder, which is great fun for me! haha! The best part is that she is most active around 10-10:30 PM every night. Guess she is a night owl like me!

I am 24 weeks now and feeling great! I definitely have a belly now and it is only going to get bigger! Right now Baby P is just a little over a pound and she is about the size of an ear of corn, hence the picture below, haha! I go in this coming week for my next appointment, yay!

As far as this month goes, we have had some fun as well! We both went down to SC for the Alabama/SC game, need I say more! It was AMAZING! I think Baby P is fully ready for football games now. Her favorite song is going to be Sandstorm, haha. For those of you who don't know, the song Sandstorm is one they play all throughout the game and the stadium goes nuts! We danced and jumped up and down quite a bit during that game. Needless to say we were both really tired when the game was over. But GO GAMECOCKS! Below is a picture of me and my friend Blair who is also pregnant. Congrats to her and Alex!

Also, this month is breast care awareness month, so I have been pretty busy with my volunteer work at the Capital Breast Care Center. We had a whole series of events this past week and we had a great turnout. The picture below is from our open house event. My sister-in-law, Anne Marie and my soon to be sister-in-law Liz came to support the event as well. We had fun!

I also treated myself last weekend to a nice prenatal massage! It was so AMAZING! We did a special spa day for my soon to be sister-in-law Liz at the Four Seasons in Philly. We enjoyed the pool, got massages, and had a great lunch, that included chocolate covered strawberries for dessert! Yummy! We can't wait for Joe and Liz's big day, which is November 12, only a few weeks away!

As far as the nursery goes, my Dad got us a Pack-in-play! Fran and I put it together this week and we love it! It is in the nursery for now. I am sure it will make many trips with us!

Well until next time, everyone have a great weekend!! Love, Krystal, Fran and Baby Person

This is how big Baby Person is right now!

Here is my weekly picture I get from Baby Center. So cool to get an idea of how everything looks!!

Baby Bedding

SO MANY CHOICES??? I like all of these really, haha. Anyways, I am working on finding some cute bedding for our baby girl! Things to keep in mind, the carpet in her room is a cream color as are her walls, which I am not sure if we can paint yet. Working on finding that out. If not, we plan on using wall art to decorate the room to go with the bedding . Any thoughts on your favorite bedding?

Shopping and First Belly Pic!

21 Weeks

This outfit is for Daddy!

So sweet and soft!

Gotta have something with chocolate and pink!

Couldn't resist the green either!

Okay so this is for when she is 2 years old, but it was on sale, we couldn't resist!

Baby's first Polo dress! She takes after her mommy!

Look at the little feet part on this one...looks like shoes!

Well as you can probably assume, the moment I found out I was having a girl, shopping was on the brain! My mom is in town and so we went shopping just to take a look, haha! We found some really cute outfits and I wanted to share Baby Person's new clothes with you! Also, I included my first belly picture! Earlier this week, I was working a conference and notice people were starting to look at my belly with that questoining look of hmmmm....is she pregnant or did she just gain some lbs! So I guess that means it is time to share!
