Nursery and Movements!

Here we are at week 22... and it has definitely been an exciting past couple of weeks! Since week 20... I have spent some much needed time with my best friends, visited a few of Frank's baseball games, worked (and finished) the nursery, finished a book, started a new book, definitely went shopping for baby necessities and got a manicure!

Here are a few photos of the nursery, that I am SO excited to finally share!

Revisions to the room:
- painted the walls and furniture ($75)
- upgraded hardware on furniture ($80)
- added a fan with a dimmer switch ($100)
- added the curtain rod ($20)... curtains were from the living room!
- added a shelf in the closet ($25)
- miscellaneous decor items added to the room ($45)
- TOTAL COST... $345! Not too bad considering what I have seen and heard from others!

PS... I did not include the crib/mattress in the cost because it was a gift to us from Frank's father and step-mother!!

I am so in love with this room and enjoyed putting everything in it's place. We are hoping to still get a rocker from a friend... it's just a matter of getting to their home for a visit!

OTHER EXCITING NEWS... Baby BOG gave me a good punch/kick on Friday evening while we were at home relaxing! I was definitely hoping for a repeat moment... but it hasn't happened yet; however, Baby BOG is very active in the morning and for most of the day and pretty calm at night. I have been playing music at night to see if that helps get some activity, it has a few times but there is no consistency. But it has been fun trying!

On a personal note... I am feeling great these days! Going to the gym 3 - 4 days a week. Sleep is still an issue sometimes and middle of the night snacks are getting better. I am amazed at how "pregnant" I look already and still have four-months to go! At our last doctor's visit, I had gained a total of 11 lbs, which "they" say is just enough. SO... I will definitely be curious to see how much I gained this past month... we will see on Thursday!
