25 Weeks in this New Body

I am nearing the end of my second trimester (phew) and while I am mostly enjoying growing this little being in my body, today I found myself reminiscing about my pre-pregnancy one. So I made a list of things I am looking forward to being able to do/have again once the baby boy vacates this space:

• Sleeping on my stomach
• Sleeping on my side without hurting my back
• Being able to take medicine, namely Nyquil when I am congested and just want to sleep
• Drinking coffee as often as I'd like
• Drinking red wine
• Eating sushi
• Being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath
• Being able to sit in a chair at a restaurant for as long as I'd like without back pain
• Tying my shoes without getting out of breath or having to take a break between feet

Well now I just feel like I am whining, so I am going to make a quick list of things I am really enjoying about this body (I swear there are things!):

• Eating with my health (& baby's) as my priority (not my weight)
• Walking on the treadmill at the gym just because it feels good and helps me sleep (not because it burns calories) 
• Having our active little baby with me everywhere I go

Sorry, but no bump photo this week...I have a major head cold and just couldn't bear to do it.

Today I am 23 weeks and feeling the instinctual urge to nest. Daily, I peruse Pinterest in search of inspiration...perhaps too often because today during meditation in my yoga class, all I could think of was how I would like to arrange the baby's room. So, I decided to come home and blog in an effort to purge some of these interior design thoughts from my brain!

I saw this photo on Pinterest and fell in love with the color scheme (aside from the dark furniture). The sky blue and sunshine yellow are so cheerful and I loved how the grey accents pull them together.

Nursery colors: yellow, grey, white & sky blue

I like the idea of finding furniture that can grow with baby boy and our family. So, I'm hoping to find a glider and a dresser that will work now and later.

Pottery Barn, so a little pricey, but my inspiration.

I am loving the Grey Chick bedding from The Land of Nod and am hopeful my crafty mama can help me recreate some of it on our own (to save $ and also so that our son has a blankie from his Grandma).

 

 I pinned these prints from Etsy long ago and still think they are the cutest thing. And lucky for me, I can order them in any color so they'll fit with the theme.

Now, off to email our landlord to see how she feels about us painting!

Oh, and I don't think my bump is growing a whole lot, but here is the obligatory photo anyway!

23 weeks- feels like longer!

With love, Chelsea <3
