Baby Girl Nursery Inspirations......

We are 16 weeks tomorrow!!!!! 

I will be doing a bumpdate update soon. I decided to chill on every week, not much is changing right now;) I will start doing biweekly soon. 
Mom and I went to Cotton Tails (arts & craft show) this weekend and all I can say is Mr. Pody better pray for a BOY so he still has at least a 20 dollar bill in his wallet!! They had the most precious baby girl clothes!! But there is no doubt our little man will be a well-dressed baby boy too! 

Of course, most of these inspirations are via PINTEREST. As you can see I am not a "theme" person. You definitely see more baby girl nurseries out there. But no worries, I have our baby boys nursery inspiration all in my mind. I have pinned a few boys ideas but just bits and pieces of different nurseries I like and will definitely share soon. Also with our baby girl's nursery, I have the inspiration in my mind and like different things about each of these pretties.... ENJOY!

 1.

Love the changing table.... perfect for slobbery fingerprints in the future;) But I still love it. 

What I can see of the chandelier looks pretty beautiful too!

2.

I like this bedding a lot. I have so many different bedding ideas whirling in my mind. I hope to make an appointment w/ the "bedding lady" soon!

3.

I am loving a splash of lavender. Possibility;)

4. 

Just love it!

5. 

Just realized this is a different view of number 1.... interesting rug, not so sure...

6.

Love the color scheme and all the white....

7.

Gray and pink is BEAUTIFUL.... LOVE the mirror above the bed. Mom always gets me scared saying, "What if it falls?" Our nursery has a slope above the bed so it isn't an option anyway;)

8. 

Love the accent wall....

10.

I LOVE GRAY... enough said;)

Which one is your favorite???

;)

12 Week Bumpdate....

 

How Far Along? 12 Weeks and 5 days (Sunday, February 11, 2012)
Size of Baby P? Lime! (Just over 2 inches)
This week's major developments:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.(from www.babycenter.com)

Maternity Clothes? I can still fit into about 3 pair of my normal jeans, really only one with comfort; but those maternity jeans are like a little piece of heaven, so I have been wearing them most of the time. Dress pants are still fitting pretty good, my black pair are the snuggest so I wear my belly band with them (I've had them since high school though, so I can cut myself a little slack;)
Weight Gain?According to the doctor's scale I had gained 3 pounds since my last weigh in there; according to my scale I've gained about 8 pounds (Guess I exceeded the 5 pound goal for first trimester, OOOPS;) Mama's gotta EAT!:)
Stretch Marks? Nope! Rubbing on that Palmer's body butter mixed with Mama Bee's oil daily/nightly....

Gender? I just have this strong feeling it's a boy! Most of my family does as well.... even my sister who is a great predictor;) We shall see!!

Sleep? Sleep is better, I've had a cold this week so coughing and stuffy nose woke me up; still using the restroom about 2 times a night; no complaints here though....  

Food Cravings?Not really, but food just taste so much better while pregnant! I have REALLY been wanting some tacos this week!

What I Miss? Nothing really; I cheated and got my hair done a little early, with lots of research, I think we are ok though! I feel like a new woman!!haha It was a sad situation!

What I am loving? About week 10 I started getting my energy back and even worked out a few times! I need to keep that up considering I am in a wedding at 7 months pregnant!!
Movement? No but the little miracle has started moving in there! Can't wait until its enough to feel!!

Symptoms? No symptoms really; after I eat I get a little indigestion; lower back pain on the right side when I walk.

Best Moment of the Week?My sister joined me on my last appointment to the doctor (January 24th @ 10 weeks). We got to hear the little heartbeat just a beating at 170-177 bpm! It was the best feeling hearing that heartbeat! ;)

* I know all I've been doing is bumpdates lately, I hope to do some nursery inspirations posts soon and other fun posts!  ;)

9 Week Bumpdate!

Sorry, skipped a couple of weeks, but I am summarizing all of my symptoms from weeks 7, 8, & 9. Not much really changed during these weeks anyway!;)  
Now I am about caught up and can start my weekly post on time! 
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR SWEET COMMENTS! Makes me so happy!:)

 Week 7 Pictures....

Week 9 Picture....

For some reason on Sunday, I looked pretty pregnant. I guess I was extremely bloated because on Monday it was back to "normal" or my new "normal" ;)

How Far Along? 9 weeks and 2 days (Thursday, January 18)
Size of Baby P? Grape/ 1 inch!

This week's major developments:
Your new resident

is nearly an inch long -- about the size of a grape

-- and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human

. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form -- as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. .(from www.babycenter.com)

Maternity Clothes? No, but I've got a good collection in my closet! I sometimes wear my belly band for comfort....
Weight Gain?I lost 2 pounds, so that puts me at 5 pounds.
Stretch Marks? Nope! Got me some Mama Bee oil!

Gender? Can't wait~! Should find out the week after Spring Break!

Sleep? Weird dreams continuing, up 4 times a night, usually twice to use the restroom.

Food Cravings?Oh the cravings; Grapico floats for about a week; oranges w/ salt; orange juice! Watermelon (which I've always loved);food just taste BETTER THAT EVER!

What I Miss? Getting my hair done:( It looks so sad. I am waiting until 2nd trimester and it can't get here fast enough!

What I am loving? I think we have agreed on names:) But will reveal later!
Movement? Of course not!

Symptoms? Still no nausea (crossing fingers I passed that!); extremely tired; no energy!

Best Moment of the Week?I received my first baby gift from my niece and sis-in-law! It was so sweet! :)

6 WEEK BUMPDATE!

 *Looks like a maternity dress, but it's not;)

How Far Along? 6 weeks and 5 days(Sunday, January 1, 2011)
Size of Baby P?lentil (what is that???); grain of rice!

This week's major developments:
This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil.(from www.babycenter.com)

Maternity Clothes? Not wearing them yet, but I made my first purchase! I am wearing the belly band when I wear my jeans. They will still button, but just not comfortable anymore!

Weight Gain?Don't pass out on me.... 5 POUNDS already!!!! You are suppose to gain that in the entire first trimester!! OOPS! Now that the holidays are over, I am getting my butt into gear!!
Stretch Marks? Nope!

Gender? Everyone I tell says. IT'S A BOY! We will see:)

Sleep? Still waking up multiple times during the night. Using the restroom more often and still having CRAZY dreams (I need to start writing them down, they are so creepy)!

Food Cravings?Strawberry Sour Belts;always hungry!

What I Miss? Sleeping through the night....preparing me for mommyhood I guess!! (For the record, I will take ANY of these symptoms, I am by NO MEANS complaining, I am OVER THE MOON grateful for this miracle, just sharing thoughts;)

What I am loving? Now our secret is out of the bag and I can talk about our little nugget! I wanted to scream it to the world, I felt like I held it in FOREVER~!
Movement? Of course not! 

Symptoms? Still no nausea, not even slightly nauseated!; restroom breaks more frequently; CRAZY dreams; and other normal symptoms us girls go through;)

Best Moment of the Week?Hearing/seeing our baby's heartbeat, best feeling in the world!  I think I could watch it ALL day long!:); Spilling the beans to family and friends! and first trip to Motherhood Maternity!

5 WEEK BUMPDATE!

How Far Along? 5 weeks and 5 days(Sunday, December 25)
Size of Baby P?Sesame Seed; looks like a tadpole.

This week's major developments:

Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.

The neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.

His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue.

The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.

(from www.babycenter.com)

Maternity Clothes? Not wearing them yet! Pants are snug and uncomfortable!

Weight Gain?4 pounds, UH-OH:/
Stretch Marks? Nope!

Gender? Can't wait!

Sleep? Still waking up multiple times during the night. Using the restroom more often and still having CRAZY dreams!

Food Cravings?Strawberry Sour Belts; the other night I seriously considered driving to Gatlinburg to get some. But my sister introduced me to a candy called Rips that are very similar and satisfy that craving so maybe we can save the gas and avoid that trip to Gatlinburg!

What I Miss? Sleeping through the night....

What I am loving? Having our little angel in my belly for Christmas! Best present ever!
Movement? Of course not! 

Symptoms? Still no nausea, not even slightly nauseated!; restroom breaks more frequently; CRAZY dreams; and other normal symptoms;)

Best Moment of the Week?Receiving our baby reveal items in the mail!; Spending Christmas with a baby in my tummy!
