Crib bedding!

I found a set that I really liked on a website about 2 weeks ago... we are doing a pink and brown theme for our baby girl. But I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg to do this room. The set I found was $190.00. Ugh. I did some more searching around, and found this website had an Ebay Store! And whadya know... they sell that exact same set, brand new, for a bid starting at $50! Now we're TALKIN'!!

So I watched it for a week and a half.. just to see how pricey the auctions would be. Not too bad. So last night I finally bid... and won it for $61! Woo hoo!

My friend Kendra is going to help me the first weekend in October to paint the nursery to match the bedding... can't wait!

21 week OB appt.

Everything is going well! It was a quick appt., got in, got weighed, they went over flu shot info (including the H1N1 shot, which I'm passing on. Just not enough info on how it will affect the baby, and I'm not taking ANY chances!!)

My blood pressure was DOWN! It was 128/64, so my low sodium diet has worked! I was very happy about that. We listened to the heart beat and it was about 163, which was perfect! I also have only gained 9 lbs, so I am doing good.

She did tell me I am measuring big for the week I am in (ugh), but that doesn't mean it's all baby, and nothing to worry about. She showed me where the top of my uterus is, and I could feel it! I was looking way too low... all my baby books tell me it should be around the same heigth as my belly button... oh no! Not mine! It's about 2 inches ABOVE my belly button! No wonder I couldn't find it! :)

I go back to her in 4 weeks, so that's all good news!

Childbirth Classes

We got signed up!

I called today to sign up for the "Prepared Childbirth" classes at our hospital. Based on my due date of Jan. 23, we will start classes on Nov. 5 through Dec. 17. We will go once a week (on Thursdays, minus Thanksgiving of course!) from 7-9pm.

Can't wait to get started on those... then it will REALLY seem real! :)

20 weeks!

Well, I'm half way there! I made it to 20 weeks! WOO HOO! I feel great and can't wait for this 2nd half to get going. Only 4 1/2 more months. Almost doesn't seem real!

We're going to the Nebraska State Fair today in Lincoln, then coming back to go to our friends house for a Husker party to watch our first game of the season! It's gonna be beautiful out, so really looking forward to it. And it's a 3 day weekend, being it's Labor Day weekend, so ready to enjoy the break from a hectic spell at work!

I saw this on one of my friends blogs', so I'm stealing the idea!
