life update: 24 weeks & gender reveal!

Friday, May 16, 2014

How far along: 24 weeks (size of a corn on the cob)
Gender: baby girl! I'm so excited to give my little j a sister to play with. I imagine tea parties and glitter everyday :)
Weight gain: about 12-15 pounds
Maternity clothes: not really, just dresses as shirts and lots of leggings! did buy some white capri pants from liz lange maternity at target and they're versatile enough to wear everyday...not that I do that...ha
Stretch marks: from previous pregnancy.
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: still pretty normal though I feel the belly more. lately I've been a really good sleeper. I fall asleep in seconds and don't wake up for anything lol
Best moment of the week: actually seeing the kicks coming from inside my belly! baby girl is getting strong! what a blessing.  
Movement: lots of flutters through out the day. I love it! it's like our own little secret that just my baby and me share. she sends me butterflies in my belly everyday to say hello.
Cravings: still mainly sweets thought it toned down. eating lots of fruits and banana bread. but I love those things any time of the year :)
Looking forward to: every change this new baby will be bringing into our lives. we'll be moving soon into a place with more space in a few months, getting her nursery ready, and mostly seeing my two babies interact with each other :)
Nervous about: nursing. a baby and a toddler that desires more and more attention? that'll be a toughie. also, too much weight gain. last time I gained 50 (!) pounds. as with most women it got harder and harder to be active and my eating was out of control. I was constantly hungry and could out eat a 240 pound man (that would be my husband) easily. I'm already starting to feel no energy for activities other than housework so that makes me nervous.

dream travel

dream travel by glitterandtea featuring j crew jewelry

this is a perfect (and dream) travel outfit. a lightweight sweater that's not frumpy (jcrew), loose comfy jeans (paige denim) a cashmere scarf because planes in my opinion are always chilly and perforated flats that are easy to slep on and off at security.

now that purse. that is my real dream. I feel like I could wear it the rest of my life and I would probably have to given the price tag but wow perfect.

maybe I was a ballerina in a former life but I love neutrals, blushes, and baby pink. that;s probably half my closet. the other half is black sweaters ha!

my home office inspiration

my home office inspiration by glitterandtea featuring striped throw pillows

I work from home helping my husband with his business. I am the paper and pencil side while he does all the leg work and brings home the bacon so to speak. Sitting at my desk for 2 hours crunching numbers last night inspired me to redecorate and reorganize to be more efficient. But first the basics must be fun and appealing so I will actually WANT to work.

Here are my musts:
THE WALL: simple, elegant prints
a cute but functional bulletin board
wall calendar. I love Sugar Paper LA.
still in search of a clock...
THE FURNITURE: a fun, comfortable, fabric covered chair. I love Target's choices.
an Ikea desk with storage
an Ikea desk lamp
THE ACCESORRIES: flowers! I love tulips, hydrangea, succulents
Anthropologie mugs to hold pencils, pens
and last but not least I am torn between a floral or a striped (preferably navy) pillow.

Pinterest of course has great ideas.
