random thoughts

I've seen so many people do posts on random thoughts lately. Never before have I written down my thoughts that randomly come to mind during the day but yesterday I tried it and here are some that I came up with; - it's hard to do. for me at least.
Random thoughts on 1/11/11
- I really wish the baby room would finish itself.
- I need to stop eating these Sour Patch Cherries before I turn into one.
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
- Chris Tomlin is coming in March and I REALLY want to go!
- I wish we could pick out a baby name so I could share it & stop calling this beautiful thing inside of me ‘he’.
- There are 100 more productive things I could be doing right now.
- I wish I had more accessories to accessorize with! Like jewelry, hats, fun shoes, etc… I should make a trip to Forever 21
- I’m in love with the Chai Latte single cups for our Keurig. In fact, I’m just in love with our Keurig in general!
- Ordered the crib & I am so excited for it to come, but I can’t get over that shipping was $50!
- The blueberries that are on sale at our local grocery store this week for 2/$5 are probably the best blueberries I’ve had.
- We have a doctor appointment on Friday and I’m pretty sure I’ve gained yet another 5lbs. I can’t wait to hear what our doctor has to say about it this time. Last time she told me I was gaining weight too fast.
- Darius Rucker’s new song ‘This’ is one of my favorite songs right now!
- The last time I worked at Old Navy was a few weeks ago & it was that night that another associate told me my butt was huge, she was so serious too. I started crying. She’s 17 & I wish I could have punched her in the face, but I wouldn’t do that!
- Just noticed that Dean’s Guacamole Dip only contains LESS THAT 2% OF AVOCADO!
- The majority of these random thoughts are about food. Hmm?

28 Weeks

Update;
How Far Along: 28 weeks, start of our 3rd trimester!!
Size of baby: Baby Vander Velde weighs 2 ¼ lbs (like a Chinese cabbage?) & is 14.8 inches long, or so they say!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 20 or so lbs
Maternity Clothes: It’s pretty much my whole wardrobe. I can still wear non maternity jeans with a belly band!
Gender: It’s a BOY, no definite name yet! I wish we would decide on a name so that we could stop referring to him as ‘he’ but in all reality we probably will not decide on a name until we see him!
Movement: Very Active
Sleep: Not good. This past week it was pretty nonexistent.
What I miss: right now it's sleeping good!
Cravings: Nothing really specific. But Culvers’ ButterBurger Swiss, with lettus, tomato & mayo is always calling my name!
Symptoms: Sciatic nerve pain & lower back pain.
Best Moment of the Week: Getting some of the baby room accomplished! Getting all of the clothes washed & getting paint to start painting the rooms!

Our Productive Weekend!

Last Thursday Gavin & I made a trip to IKEA with April, Caleb, & Nicole! It was so fun and we got exactly what we needed! I love IKEA and I already have a list started for the next time we go!
Here are pictures of Gavin pushing Caleb around at IKEA; We were packed in tight on the ride home! I'm pretty proud of us for getting it all in the can and not having to leave anything, or anybody behind :) Here are pictures of what it looked like;Gavin wasn't able to put his legs all the way down, so he did this the majority of the time!We got EVERYTHING cleared out of the baby room this weekend! We took apart the desk, 'shortened' it up and moved it downstairs! The guest bedroom downstairs is now the office/guest bedroom/storage room for all our stuff! Here are pictures of what it looks like now;We still need to get our headboard, art on the walls and maybe different bedding, but it's pretty much finished! The baby room is also coming along! I went through all of Gavin's clothes, 0-12months, this weekend & we did 8+ loads of laundry yesterday of baby clothes, blankets, sheets, etc...
We also picked out the paint colors this weekend and hopefully we can start painting both of the boys rooms this week! We will also order the Crib this week, hopefully, and then we will start refinishing the dresser soon! It's crazy how fast this pregnancy is going!

27 Weeks

Update;

How Far Along: 27 weeks!
Size of baby: Baby Vander Velde weighs 2lbs, like the head of cauliflower & is 14 ½ inches long!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 20 or so lbs
Maternity Clothes: It’s pretty much my whole wardrobe. I can still wear a few pairs of non maternity jeans with a belly band!
Gender: It’s a BOY, no definite name yet! We added another name last night! We will probably not decide a name until we see him!
Movement: Very Active

What I miss: There isn’t really anything I miss! Maybe my body ;)
Cravings: Big Meals! Ones with a main dish & like 3 sides! Ha.

Best Moment of the Week: Gavin LOVES giving his brother kisses! He’ll just come up & casually kiss my tummy and then go on with what he was doing! It’s my favorite and he doing it numerous times during the day!

I am feeling VERY behind on things! I feel like I should have the room started and things ordered, but I don’t! We did start to clear out the office for the baby’s room though! We have a ‘theme’, color scheme & I also know the crib and bedding we are getting but we just need to order it! The to-do list & things to purchase is getting longer & longer as well and we really need to start to check things off faster! Hopefully we will get a lot finished this month!

GO BADGERS!

It's Rose Bowl Day! Go Bucky Go!
