Anka Sova

After a long, exhausting day at a photo shoot, I think we have found our crib and changer! At work today, we did a shoot with the new Anka Sova crib collection. It looked fabulous! I am very excited for this new collection. It is partially customizable... meaning you can mix and match different finishes. For example, a popular mix these days is Espresso and Whitewash (which is what we did in our shoot). You can also choose Natural... so the possibilities are almost endless. For our nursery, I think we'll do all Whitewash. (We have brown paint on the walls and I am afraid the Espresso will clash.)

Here's a sneak peak from our shoot today...

AquaMoms

Tonight was my first AquaMoms (water aerobics) class... and, man, did it ever kick my butt! I had no idea it would be such a serious workout. I am afraid I will be sore tomorrow, but I am so glad I am taking this class. I think it will be a great way for me to keep in shape for the next 12 weeks. There were about 16 ladies in the class... ranging from early to late pregnancy. Maybe I'll make a new friend who's due around my due date.

Baby simulator...

A friend sent me a link to Volkswagon's site where you can upload your pic and your husbands pic... then, they show you what your baby will look like. I did it and now I am a little afraid! lol

Here's what they had for Kevin and I....

I did it three times with different pics and each baby is completely different!

Personally, I think the third time was the 'charm'...

24 weeks!

Happy 24 weeks to me! Baby girl has gained about 4 ounces over the past week. That puts her at just over a pound. Her brain is developing more and her taste buds are starting to develop, too. While her skin is still pretty thin and translucent, that will change soon.

My belly continues to grow and apparently my uterus is now about the size of a soccer ball! Whoa! I am feeling good... no sciatic pain and minimal back pain. I guess the only things bothering me these days are that my feet/calves get really tired (and sometimes a bit swollen) after walking for awhile and I can no longer eat a lot at one time! I guess my poor, little stomach is getting squished!

Tomorrow I start my water aerobics class. I am really looking forward to a nice, low-impact workout to keep me active once a week. Kevin and I need to start walking more after work, too!

June already?!

I can not believe it is June 1st! Where does the time go? Seriously, this pregnancy is flying by!!! I will be 30 years old in 47 days AND we will have a BABY in approximately 112 days! Holy Cow!!!

We had a nice weekend... Saturday afternoon, Heather, Joe and Olivia came over for dinner. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Olivia (18 months old) was adorable! She is just a bundle of energy... into everything! Kevin and I did learn that we need corner protectors by our stairs and those little drawer locks in the kitchen! :P Sunday was my Mom's birthday so they came up for lunch at Peak City Grill in Apex. After that delicious meal, we ran around shopping before we had yummy carrot cake (with a TON of candles, thanks to Dad).

After the exhausting weekend, I am trying to get back into work mode. Happy June 1st!
