20 weeks!!

How far along? 20 weeks-half way there!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 11 pounds since pre-pregnancy...
Maternity clothes? Exclusively
Stretch marks? Still none!
Sleep: Going just peachy, except last night when Noah decided he wanted to have a dance party at bedtime!
Best moment this week? Finding out that Noah was a boy!!
Movement: He always moves several times a day, but Sunday I looked at the clock, realized it was after 1:00pm and couldn't remember feeling him move at all that whole day. I didn't immediately panic because I had praise team that morning and had been running around like crazy all day. I figured that he must have been moving but I was just too busy to notice. So I drank some cold lemonade, shook my belly, poked my belly.....nothing. THEN I started to freak out! I called my doctor's office and had them page my doctor. Ten minutes later, Noah started to move.....hardheaded just like his Mommy!
Food cravings: Sour candy! I better ease up on the candy by my next doctor's visit when I have my glucose test!
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: None, thankfully!
Belly button in or out? Still in, but it's only a matter of time!
What I miss: REDDDD BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery set up.
Weekly wisdom: When people find out the sex of your baby, they start buying him/her presents!
Milestone: Half way there!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I found Noah's bedding! Like I said before, I looked everywhere possible in town and found nothing. So this weekend, I started browsing on the internet and went to Target.com. I am REALLY picky and didn't think I would find anything but I just wanted to look anyway. On the very first 'boy bedding' page I saw it!



SUPER cute! AND the set also had a SUPER cute matching lamp...


WELL, the people that make this bedding have discontinued all the accessories except the window valance. So you can only buy the bedding and the valance. Now this may be the hormones talking, but that lamp MAKES the room! I WANT THE LAMP!! I checked out the reviews for the set and it never got less than 4.5 out of 5 stars-with over 15 reviews! So now I knew I had to get it! I googled the lamp and searched and searched and searched. NO ONE seemed to be selling it anymore. I saw one for sale on ebay.....for $200!!!!!!! The lamp is only worth like $45! I don't want it that bad! But then I found a website that sells the lamp! The only catch is that you have to buy the bedding from them, too. It was only like $30 more with them than at Target.com so I got it! YAY!

We got the bedding, the lamp, the valance...

the diaper stacker...

and the super soft blanket!

Here is a closer view of the bedding. The inside of the bumper pads is made from that same fabric as the super soft blanket! Cozy!


So I feel a LOT better now! Yay for Noah!
