23 weeks, shopping, and school

Sunday marked my 23rd week of pregnancy! This means that only 17 (hopefully) short weeks until this baby arrives! We are very very excited! I keep wanting to start working on the nursery but keep putting it off, maybe this weekend we will paint. I want to do the accent wall (the wall where the crib is) in the blueish/aqua color that is in the bedding. This way the white crib will pop. I made three square decorative fabric "things" to hang over the crib and I LOVE them! I did them in three different black and white fabrics... here is a picture. (Remember the wall behind them will not be white)
I plan to get the rest of the nursery going soon .....

I took myself shopping last week. This is very very rare that I go shopping for myself, but I quickly found out with this pregnancy that gaining weight, growing out of ALL your clothes, and squeezing yourself into clothes that do not fit can be very mentally draining. My doctor and sweet nurses have reassured me over and over that I am right on track with my weight and there is nothing to worry about so I feel better.... but I Just got to a point where I felt BLAH all the time because I was wearing the same few maternity things over and over. SOOOO... I went shopping and oh boy did I go shopping! It was so fun. I went to the first store and found some really cute things then I went to a maternity store and they waited on me hand and foot and I was able to show them different things I tried on and ask them questions. It was very nice. BUT then then guilt set in...... After I bought all new clothes I started thinking about what I could take back. HAHA. I was experiencing a little "buyers remorse," but with much convincing from my wonderful husband and mom they convinced me to keep it all. I just love having clothes that fit and I am ready to start this school year with cute clothes! =)

And..... the last topic... school! The kids start in 20 days.... I have two trainings next week and two the next and in between there we have to hope that our school renovations are complete and we are able to enter the school in time to get our rooms ready for the first day of school. Our projected date is August 16th but you never know. I know that that week will be very busy and chaotic but I just keep telling myself that the sooner we get school started the sooner we get to meet our little one! Ok well that is all for now.....
