Oops

I guess I haven't updated lately at all. In all honesty, life has just been very low key lately. Don't get my wrong we've kept busy with all sorts of different activities but nothing 'big' has happened in quite a while. I am very much enjoying it.

Pregnancy update: the days just keep passing by. The belly bump is starting to make an appearance and it's starting to feel more real. As for symptoms I still can't complain. I have experienced some less than enjoyable constipation (what? there's no such thing as too much information on my own blog right?! haha) and heartburn is starting to make an appearance. Besides that, it's just the aches and pains of my body expanding to make room for the little one.

The Mr. and I did make our first baby purchase which I'm pretty excited about. I had my heart set on a Chicco car seat and after reading reviews I was crushing on a Baby Jogger stroller but hadn't seen one yet to confirm that opinion, however I happened up on a deal on Amazon I couldn't pass up. Britax just released a new car seat (the B-safe) and stroller (the B-Agile) and if you bought both of them you received a free extra car seat base (valued at $79) and a snack tray for the stroller ($20). I monitored the prices and was able to pick up all four items for $352.00! So far the reviews for the new seat and stroller are phenomenal but seeing as they were just released for sale this week I'm going to keep them in their boxes for a little while until more reviews are posted after people are able to buy them. With these items taken care of and my parents saying they want to buy the crib we almost have all of the 'big ticket' purchases taken care of. It is such a relief!

It's Official

The first trimester is done! It feels so good to know that I'm a third of the way through the pregnancy and that much closer to snuggling my son or daughter.

We had out 12 week appointment last week. The Mr. came with my once again and I am so happy that he wants to be involved in each doctor appointment. We were able to hear the heartbeat, a strong 160 beats per minute, but I'm going to whine for a bit because they didn't let us listen for long. Honestly, I could have laid there all afternoon listening to the whoosh whoosh of our little one's beating heart. I don't know if I've ever heard a more beautiful sound.

My birthday is coming up in a few weeks so the Mr. is starting to ask what I want. We were throwing around a few ideas last night and I'm torn between something practical like the fancy rocking chair I think I want (I say think because I have only been admiring it online, I still need to try it out) or something just for me, like replacement diamond earrings since I lost one or tickets to see Adele. Ah well, he has ideas, not it's up to him to figure it out I guess!
