Week 13

Yay! It's the second trimester. I cannot believe that since 7 weeks ago, the baby has TRIPLED in size. That's insane. We have been going through a huge amount of list and questions!

baby food  vs. make our own food
day care vs. stay at home mom
uppababy vs. Graco
which highchair do we choose? 
should I eat that? 
Where is the baby going to sleep?
Is my car safe enough?
Can my dog adjust to the new baby?
Which crib do we get?
Do we need 3 diaper pails?
Do we have to have 25 outfits?
We really go through 4,700 diapers over 2 years?

I have so many questions and it feels like so little time. It's like once this baby was planted - a thousand and one questions popped into my head and until answered they are constantly swimming around.

12 Weeks

Hello again!

It's been a few months because life got crazy! Since my last post in July, I have changed grade levels, I now teach 1st. I went and saw my sister in North Carolina. I saw my husband's family in Georgia. My TeachersPayTeachers account has done AMAZING!!  

OH- and I found out I am pregnant!

It's been a crazy amount of changes. We also now are looking for a house in addition to creating a baby. I am due in July of 2015!

 Just a little peanut! I wanted to immediately tell the world that I was pregnant but I decided against it. We wanted to wait until we were out of the stage where the chances of having a miscarriage is higher. Hence why we are here in week 12! 

How far along?: 12 weeks 2 days

Baby is the size of a: Ripe Apricot

Total weight gain/loss: +3 

The Bump:  It's able to be seen

Symptoms: Not too many this week!

Food Cravings: Salt. I wanted a ton of french fries

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nope. 

Sleep: I pass out really early and then overnight I wake up to go to the bathroom...I am not enjoying that! I also eat a granola bar so I am not starving at 6 when I wake up.

What I miss: Eating in a restaurant and not being able to eat my spicy food.

Weddings Rings On or Off: On 

Any Names Picked Out Yet: Goodness NO!

Gender Prediction: I think it is a boy!!!

Movement: I can feel vibrations.

Best Moment of the Week: None that stuck out!

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Having a bump!

Here is the 12 week chalkboard! 

Erin Condren

Uh...I am a Type A Personality. When I meet with my Principal, I give her an agenda. I am always making agendas because it keeps me focused. With that... I had to find the perfect planner for me. I am obsessed in love with Erin Condren Planners. {Check her website}. I was ecstatic to buy the Life Planner in June because it helped me focus my life.
Here is the cover. It is laminate and customized to whatever you want. I love teal so I chose teal however theres like 50 different covers! Choose your favorite and go with it.

EC motto this year has been Work Hard. Play Hard." I love it. I am able to keep reminding myself that you work so hard during the week and when the weekend comes- you get to have some fun! 

 This is what the week looks like. I love this section. It has three parts. Morning, Day, and Night. This allows you to really plan for things you need to do throughout the day. When I go back to teaching {in like 4 weeks}, I will be able to add things in the afternoon.

Here's the week and how it looks.

 Make it better? SURE CAN! With your purchase of the planer, you also get stickers. This is to help you plan for the week using these awesome stickers. I am pretty sure you can buy Avery labels and print things on them.

I also want to show you some awesome Etsy Stores {help the people not the corporations} and show you some ideas you could do.

Hydrate Labels. This is by the super cute SellingSweetStuff on etsy.

I love things for my planner! 

I hope this inspires you to buy the planner so that you will be able to do awesome planning things with us! xoxo

& remember-have Melissa Joan Hart call me!
