Shopping

Last weekend Nate and I ventured out into the world of nursery furniture and bedding. My mom and sister were able to come with us and help us walk through the many isles of selections. It was a little overwheleming for sure, how in the world are you supposed to choose? Oh, and boy do these people have a corner on the market...this stuff costs a lot of money, but it is so cute! So we narrowed it down the 3 different furniture selections and then I found the bedding that I LOVE for a girl but I am pretty sure I am going to have a boy so we will see! Here are our choices...feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you like!

Ode to Chicken Tenders

So, when I first got pregnant, I thought to myself, "Self, I am not going to be one of those pregnant women who eats badly just because they can. I am going to eat healthy, vegetables, lean protein, workout, etc." Are you serious?? Why doesnt anyone tell you that when you get pregnant the thought of eating lean protein and vegetables makes you want to vomit! For the past few weeks I have had an aversion to grilled chicken, not fried, basted, roasted, etc...just grilled...you know the kinda that is good for you! Yeah, cant look at it, smell it and I am surely not going to eat it. But chicken tenders on the other hand have become my best friend, really, I could eat them everyday! They are so good! Well chicken tenders, french fries, ice cream, pizza, they are all so good.

Oh and I think I have recently discoved that my right leg is hollow...lately it doesnt matter how much I eat, good or bad, I just dont feel full. I mean I will stop eating (after 3 pieces of pizza and 5 breadsticks) but it is just because I think..."Melissa, 3 pieces of pizza and 5 breadsticks is A LOT of food." Nate just laughs...which is so sweet, if he did or said anything else I might have to kill him. :)

So here is my ode to chicken tenders and everything that is not good for you...OH HOW I LOVE YOU!

Coolest Appointment Yet!

So yesterday we went back to the doctor and we got the hear the heartbeat! It was so wonderful just to hear it and know everything is ok! My doctor said it sounded great and scheduled me for my next appt in 4 weeks.

Then the fun part started. We had a special test called a NT scan done where they have to do another sonogram. So we got to see our little one at 12 weeks 4 days. I cant believe how much has changed in 1 month. It is truly amazing! In the picture below you can see the profile...the nose, jaw bones, brain, and the spinal cord! We found out yesterday that we wont find out the gender until June, which made me a little sad just because I am so ready to start picking out furniture and bedding! I have very different ideas for a boy or girl so I will just have to be patient and wait.

Nate is also getting really excited, which is so fun. I know it can be hard for the guys since they dont feel any different and probably dont think about it as much as we do!
