Week 31 & Sneak Peek of the Nursery

Week 31 has been a busy one--from the three hour glucose tolerance exam, doctor appointments, meeting up with pediatricians and painting the nursery--we've been busy bees. The glucose exam was excruciating, I arrived at 8:30 a.m. and that's when the poking started. I didn't leave till 11:40 and I have to wait 3-5 days for the results.  I'm hoping everything comes out Ok otherwise I would have to meet with a dietitian and see what they recommend.  I've never had diabetes but I'm aware that some women do get gestational diabetes during their pregnancy and my biggest concern is passing it to Lucas. I'm hoping & praying for the best.

Here is my 31 week update:

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks & using the restroom A LOT!

Queasy/Sick: Nothing in particular

Best Moments: Feeling Lucas move and painting the nursery (even though I didn't paint at all but seeing the final product made me very happy)

Belly Button: Innie/Outtie

Weight Gain/Loss: I currently weight 140 lbs so I've gained 26 lbs

Movements: A lot of them

Cravings: Coconut water

Ring: I still wear it but it all depends whether or not my fingers get swollen

Stretch Marks: I actually got some minor ones close to my belly button. I'm using this & this. My sister was sweet enough to tell me "that every stretch mark I see is a testament to how much I love Lucas" <3 Isn't she the sweetest.

Miss Anything: At this moment I don't miss anything--because once he is born I will miss feeling the adorable kicks and movements & taking him with me to work and everywhere I go.

Sleep: It's becoming hard to get out of bed every time I need to use the restroom (Daniel says I look like a turtle turned upside down LOL)

How far along: 31 weeks (I'm currently 32 but I'm doing this update a week behind)

Maternity Clothes: None

Are you showing yet: Oh yes I am!

Boy or girl: Still a boy :)

Please disregard my crazy curly hair!

Here's a sneak peek to the nursery. I'm still in the process of decorating it but at least the painting part is done. I would like to thank JC and Laura Herrera for their amazing help.  JC works with Advance Custom Paint and he meant business when he painted the nursery. His level of professionalism was amazing and I would recommend him in a heart beat.  Daniel and I are beyond grateful for what they did and we are beyond happy with the outcome.

Are you showing yet: Most definitely! 

I've also started decorating our place and of course TJ Maxx was THE place to go! I found this adorable table, lamp, basket & entrance rug. I'm still adding a few items to it but as of right now this is how it looks. I also bought this adorable bed for 'the baby' at TJ Maxx. 

                        

           

Living Room Decor

One of the most exciting parts about moving is that you get to decorate! I love looking for ideas, mixing and matching colors and of course making our place look comfortable and homier.  I'm a bargain shopper so I absolutely love going to TJ Maxx and Marshalls for great deals and beautiful items.

I'm currently working on decorating our living room. We have brown couches so I bought white & teal cushions to add a nice lighter tone. I also bought two distressed tables--one to put right between the couch & Daniel's recliner and another one to be placed by the entrance. I love to combine dark and light colors so here are some ideas that I have in mind in order to make the place look a bit nicer (Pinterest is the place to go when you are looking for great ideas)
