As most of you know we have an annual trip to Disney in October. We are due with Baby Girl (no names yet) in August. When I found out I was pregnant my mom asked, "so should we skip Disney this year?" I looked at her like she had 4 heads and said very calmly said "no, why in the world would you think that? I mean she will be 2 1/2 months old! Plus she will need to travel again later that month or the next to Louisiana for Anthony's (brother) wedding!" So to answer any questions - the baby will not be slowing us down
completely. I think it is very important to incorporate the baby into your life and although some may differ, I have seen many of my friends do this (one even traveled to Brazil when the baby was 3 months) and it has worked beautifully. I believe in making as many experiences as possible and well, how cute will she look in a little Minnie dress....As for what to bring for travel for a newborn, I have done much research and will probably post sometime before or after the trip on that.
In the middle of re-doing a kitchen, and the stress of soon moving Mike's office downstairs and preparing to make our other room a nursery, I have started some research for registering which is an entirely daunting process. Whereas registering for a wedding was fun, this is not so much. So what happens when my head is spinning and I have so much work (actual work) I am trying to keep afloat? I shop for me and for the baby...more on me and my favorite maternity-wear next post.
I found the most adorable clothes and every time I buy something I say it's for her vacation....
In addition to the cutest clothes my mom and friends have bought so far...
I had a coupon for Baby Gap and did this...

On a side note, tomorrow marks 24 weeks! Holy crap! 16 weeks to go, it really does fly. I have to say knock on wood, this has been pretty smooth sailing, some slight nausea and lots of heartburn but otherwise, everything has been A-OK! I get mixed reviews about weight gain but so far I am up about 15-16 lbs depending on the day.
I attribute my positive preganancy to the healthy eating...

| buffalo chicken salad with grilled veggies |
 |
| Lemon lentil swiss-chard with gluten free pasta |
with a side of ice cream (where that dairy craving came from, not quite sure)...
 |

 |
| The "baby" and my dad split a Banana Foster Milkshake - not me the baby |
and lots of exercise (a mix of running, walking, spinning, strength training with some pre-natal yoga) about 5-6 days a week.

I love that you are still going to Disney. We think a lot alike - although I know things will change with baby girl in June, I'm not stopping my life altogether. She'll learn to adapt and we will too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the clothes. Aren't girls clothes amazing??? :)
You look fantastic and shouldn't have mixed reviews about your weight gain - you are doing awesome!
Oh... and the registering - can be overwhelming. I just pulled some of my friend's registries and stole their ideas! :) It made it a lot less stressful!
Definitely look at other friends' registries and get the book Baby Bargains- It's like the consumer reports of baby stuff. They come out with a new addition every year. We registered together, then I read the book and changed everything. When I brought home everything from the baby shower Andrew was like, "I don't remember this." Oh well!
ReplyDeleteAnd you look fab!
