I have hit a growth spurt!! I knew it would come sooner than later but I didn't think it would happen SO fast..... I went to bed Saturday night EXHAUSTED from a t-ball game, a birthday party, and having 20 people in my house all day..... and when I woke up Sunday morning my stomach informed me that I was indeed almost 5 1/2 months pregnant..... There is NO sucking in anymore and every time I lay down flat on my back my stomach looks more and more deformed from little miss squirming from side to side...
My step-dad came into town last week and I put him to work...(or should I say Olivia did!) He hung her chandelier (which is beautiful by the way) and redid her closet so that she could be a true princess!! He did an awesome job on it and it is exactly what I had pictured.... He is such an amazing dad and I am so blessed that Olivia will have a Pop-Pop like him in her life!!!

My mom and Eddie (Paw-Paw) flew in on Friday to be here for the boys' birthday parties and I (Olivia) put them to work too... They painted her room (Poetic Princess Pink), helped me hang pictures, hang up a tree, hang up shelves, and decorate her room to the max.... I have to say that her room just makes me smile when I walk in it. There is just something about a little girls bedroom that makes you think back to when things were just so simple... I LOVE her room and everything about it..... (Thanks mom and Eddie!!)

Now that her room is almost completely done, I have the hardest task ahead of me... I now have to wait another 4 months for her to be in it!!
In growing news, I am up 1.5 pounds this week bringing the total to a little over 8.5 pounds... ( I am sure the birthday cake, chips, soda, and loads and loads of dessert had absolutely NOTHING to do with my 1.5 pound increase... It was all baby!!! Ha!!
Here are a few pictures to enjoy along with what our little girl is up to this week!!
Have a great week!!

How your baby's growing:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long —
the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now, and if you're having a girl, her vagina has begun to form as well.
Her room is SO pretty! I love it! Where did you get that closet organizer thingy?
ReplyDeleteI got the organizer at Home Depot.. It was the 89.00 dollar one.. I bought the shoe rack separately and my dad just took out the separators and fit them into the shelf... It was a little complicated but he figured it out... Then he bought all of the other pieces and put them in too.... I love that her closet is organized... I just hope I can keep it that way once she gets here..... I love the way her room turned out... It is exactly what I wanted!! You will know soon what you are having!! Yippee!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I need the extra organization tips b/c our house is fairly small right now. We don't want to move just yet. With/if 3 comes along we will definitely need a bigger space! SO for now I need those organizers. I find out on the 20th, woo hoo =)
ReplyDeleteI looooooooove her room! It is so cute and pretty! I also love the You are my sunshine sentence over her closet! Just Adorable!
