This week has been tiring. Sleep hasn't been that great and the baby is moving more and more every single day. She was head down at the last appointment, which explains all the kicking that's happening higher up in my belly. The more she grows the more round ligament pain I get. Round ligaments are in the pelvis. As the baby grows the round ligaments stretch and can cause pelvic pain. Basically it feels like someone kicked me in the you know what. Haha.
We are enjoying the holiday season at our house. The tree is up and decorated and we only have a few more lights to put up outside. We have been listening to Christmas carols every single day and watching our favorite Christmas movies (Home Alone 1 & 2 and Elf). Jacob has a calendar stocking, so every day he moves the little felt candy cane to the right date and finds a treat in the associated pocket. He gets SO excited and enjoys counting down the days till the big day.
Okay...so I have a decorating dilemma. The kids are going to have to share a room, which is fine since the baby will be with us in our room for a little while. I was thinking of going with a neutral wall color and then just personalizing their own side, but then I saw a picture of this room and became obsessed...
I also like this dresser:
We got a changing table for Jacob when he was a baby and used it ONCE. I figured we would get a dresser this time, and if we wanted to we would buy one of those contour changing mats and put it on top. We are going to hold off on a crib because she will most likely be in a bassinet next to our bed for a good amount of time.
So much to do and only 15 more weeks till my due date!
I'll end this blog entry with a couple of holiday pictures - one of our tree and another of us at Disneyland!
How far along?: 25 weeks and 3 days
Gender: "Girl you know its true....oooh oooh oooh, I love you." Name that artist.
Cravings: Nothing this week. It's pissing me off

How is Sam feeling?: He told me to post this quote:
"Handing your daughter over to her date is like giving a million dollar Stradivarius (most expensive violin) to a Gorilla." -unknown
A.K.A - Sam is dramatic.
Can the baby girl just be born first? Haha!
Other: Stroganoff smells disgusting!
Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
