Christmas was fabulous. We spent Christmas eve and morning with Trey's family then headed to Starkville for my family's Christmas that day. Trey left to go hunting on the 27th, but I didn't care. I stayed at my parent's house until New Years Day. And it was fabulous. Trey came back on the 30th so we could spend New Years Eve together the next night.
We are both so blessed to have such amazing families that we actually enjoy spending a lot of time with. Everything was so so perfect throughout the holiday and I got plenty of sleep and food.
Which apparently I could have slowed down a bit on the latter of those two things.
I had my 25 week apt. today. First of all, and most importantly, Jones is so healthy. Praise God! We didn't have an ultrasound, but the heartbeat and my measurements are all perfect and he is growing just as he should. And I still feel fantastic.
Bad news: My weight gain. I am trying to wrap my head around gaining 8 pounds in a month. ONE MONTH. 8 POUNDS. How is that humanly possible? In my mind, I am totally going to subtract a few of those 8 lbs. due to the heavy winter clothing and boots I was wearing at the weigh-in. According to my Nana that is at least 5 lbs. Thanks, Nana. She always makes me feel better. Granted, I had only gained about 1-3 lbs in the months prior, but I was OK with those numbers. Those numbers I can handle. Not so much 8 lbs. In the words on the nurse weighing me in: "Someone enjoyed Christmas dinner this year". Not funny, lady. Not funny at all.
But I am over it now. I cried for a bit, but I am over it now.
GOOD NEWS! Jones now has some furniture. I am so excited. I am only buying a few new pieces - the crib and a rocker/glider. And the crib has been ordered. The other furniture in his nursery are family pieces, which I LOVE. We are using a tall, antique-white china cabinet that was Trey's great-grandmothers, my great-grandmother's dining room buffet as a changing table, and Trey's chest of drawers that was in his room growing up. That is just the look I was hoping for! I can't wait to see it all come together. I also bought his bedding (which I LOVE) and a rug for his room, that I kinda want to steal and put in my room. We are hoping to paint this weekend. I will post pics soon. Right now his nursery looks a bit like Mrs. Warren's classroom. (feel me, SA-ers?)
HAPPY 2010!

heather, i feel ya - i gained 11 pounds one month of pregnancy with camp. i was very upset! so i totally understand - but think about it this way... maybe jones gained some weight too! and just so you know, the 11 pound gain was not over the holidays!!! =)
cant wait to see pics of the nursery!
Ha-ha... just part of it. I def envied those mommies who gained very little weight and looked so cute their whole pregnancy!
Don't worry about the weight gain, I lost the most around 3-4 months and continued to get smaller, I am now smaller than I have ever been. -That is by no means boastful. Just encouragement! It will come off! Especially if you nurse, then you can eat whatever and the weight still falls off.
So happy that your little man is healthy and growing! Decorating the nursery was my favorite part...have fun!
And I am pretty sure it would take 30 something years to accumilate all the crap that Mrs. Warren has stashed away!
I am sure that sweet baby's room doesn't look like Mrs. Warren's classroom...love her!
I gained 9 pounds in a month with IK. It's all good! :)
you leave mrs. warren out of this.
and 8 lbs heavier? i think you're the cutest.
Heather-
I bet you are the cutest pregnant lady ever!!!
11 pounds in a month? I can probably do that too...and I'm not pregnant! ha!
Love the updates!
Too funny Heather!!! WE will have to have a serious talk if your precious baby's room looks like Mrs. Warren's!!! haha! Post pics soon! I can't wait to see the baby bump!!!!
Jo
You are the cutest pregnant girl ever. I am so glad we got to visit. Adam and I talked about how small you look for 6 months. You are precious. Love you.
Shut up! Mrs Warren's room... haha hopefully no critters in the corners and hopefully less than 500 post its. Please post a pic of your nasty feet... I called the nurse as soon as we got home and told her that my feet were stuck like that! It had been 3 days! (They did eventually go back to normal) btw if Jones would like to date a slightly older woman, I know a gorgeous one.
Love it,
suzanne
I can't think about Mrs. Warren's room without picturing Will Shirley in the back left corner. Remember when he decorated the bulletin board by his desk. Awesome. So when I picture your nursery, I picture Will Shirley in it now.
This makes me giddy with excitement!! I can't wait to see the pics of the nursey!
Ok, I gained 6 pounds in one WEEK when I was pregnant with Maggie Claire! The weight gain is just part of it, as almost everyone has said... you might gain a lot this month and not so much the next - it just all evens out. I'm sure you look great so don't fret! :)
