We've been so busy with friends and family in town these last couple weeks that we haven't had much time to get any nursery planning done. The 2nd bedroom has been all cleaned out for a week and a half now (it was a lot of work!), and is ready for us to paint and fill with baby furniture. Hopefully, we'll have some progress to show in the coming weeks. I'm very much leaning towards a vintage/animal theme for the nursery, thanks to a very sweet gift from our friends, Andrew and Lee. It's a vintage style stuffed rabbit hand-crafted from re-purposed sweaters by a company in New Hampshire. Not only is it the very first baby gift we've received, it's absolutely adorable, soft, and 100% recycled! The guys had no idea how perfect it was. This IS the year of the rabbit after all! I immediately fell in love with it and the idea of a vintage/animal nursery theme is at the top of my list. :)

I've been feeling great this trimester and getting bigger. Stepping on the scale this morning was a little traumatizing. We've spent the last 3 days in a row having dinners out (and hearty breakfasts in) with friends, Andrew & Lee visiting from London, and with Tony (happy granddad-to-be) who has been staying with us this week. I have to admit that I'm not one to hold back when eating out, especially when it's at my favorite local joints. So I've put on more pounds than I should have and I'm sure my OBGYN will tell me so next week at my appointment. :/ What's a pregnant girl to do?! I blame it on water retention.
So my plan for the upcoming week when we're back to our normal routine? Veggies, fruits, oatmeal, yogurt, white meat chicken (yuck), and NO sweets. Ok, I may be getting a little crazy on that last one. I do love ice cream. :) Another thing I need to do: MORE exercise. It's been tough to get motivated to exercise. But clearly, it is time.
