Furniture!!

Well my last post I explained the loss of our crib and dresser. So sad :( But on the bright side this weekend George and I got a new set and I like it too! The crib is not as big, but the dresser is actually bigger than the previous one. So, with a lot of work this morning, we set up the crib and it looks great. Shopping for the pieces surprisingly was stressful for me.... it was just overwhelming trying to make the best decision. It was a bigger deal because this wasn't the first time we were purchasing these items... meaning we have spent a LOT of money on furniture. But we feel we got a good crib, and the dresser is super nice. It feels so good to have it put together and it Ava's room! Now we are one step closer to being ready for baby!

Here it is!

The furniture is Espresso colored and it looks good with the lavender walls. Next we are planning on getting a mattress for the crib and I'm still waiting on the chair I want to order. There is a nursing chair/glider at Babies R Us but I am just waiting for it to come back in stock to the wear house. I really like it and it is super comfy. I want to order it in 'chocolate' so it all matches! I hope it comes into stock soon so we can get it.

I am working on getting projects done this month. March is a big month for us because we are doing our baby classes at the hospital starting this week! I hope they are fun and worth while. Then in April I have two baby showers, a girls weekend to Bend, and in May another baby shower and then I can't leave more than an hour from home for the whole month! Yikes! Basically that means my chances of going to Pug Crawl this year are slim. It's a little more than an hour away, and only two and a half weeks before Ava is due so... we will see. I'm asking my Dr. what he thinks because Pug Crawl is so important to me~!!!!!! LOVE PUGS!

As far as how I'm feeling.... Oh hell I'm just a mess. Anything will make me cry. It's really annoying and I just feel like my hormones are making me a crazy person. I can feel a lot of pressure 'down there' from Ava... it's very strange. I have been making a bigger effort to walk more often and exercise. Hard to believe just a year ago I was going to the gym a few days a week, running a couple miles and stuff no biggie. Now I feel so out of shape and huge! All my clothes that are not maternity are super tight. Like, can't and shouldn't wear them tight. Or I should wear them and go hang out at Wal-Mart. But I'll pass on that. It's just crazy and I am really happy to know I have little princess in my tummy but it sure is getting harder than it was before. In fact I now know why people don't like being pregnant. I mean... really. There are so many little things that come up that I would never of thought of or imagined! Swelling, aches, round ligament pain (good heavens that has been painful)! Side aches, waking up in the middle of the night with sharp pains... all of this is normal.... I could go on but I just sound like I'm complaining too much. It will be worth it when we can see our baby girl smile at us. In fact I'll probably forget all about the little things.
