I felt bad that I didn't do a acknowledge week 20, since that is exactly mid point, but with the sadness of last week, I just didn't feel up to making a post about it. So, I thought it would be better to start this week off with a post about Baby R.
The Baby is the size of a pomegranate now. I LOVE pomegranates so it makes week 21 even more great! Normally, the anatomy sonogram is done at 20 weeks, but for some reason the appointments worked out to be put that at week 18. There was pretty much nothing out of the norm that the sonogram tech couldn't see, but said it was still a little early to see some of the stuff needed. The Doctor said she wanted to wait eight weeks to do another sonogram. I am not sure why she would want to wait until week 26, but I am not the one that went to Medical School to be an OBGYN, so I will trust what she says is best. Too be honest though, I would think it would be better to do the sonogram at the next appointment which is actually next week. Oh well, I know if the Doctor thinks a sonogram needs to be done, she will do it. I really love her! She is a really great Doctor who is so popular that she doesn't even take new patients. It pays to know people in high places!!!
So, before Baby R was created, I was reading tons of books and articles about being living a more healthy lifestyle. I do believe that everything should be consumed in moderation, but I also believe that a number of things we consume are toxic. I first started doing all my grocery shopping at Whole Foods and changing a lot of the things I bought into the house to eat. I rarely eat fast food and try to read labels of what is in the things I eat. I know this sounds crazy, but I have a great life and don't want it to end shortly with all the toxic things out there in our foods. With that said, I am not going to give up wine though! Not happening EVER!!!! I will get rid of all other toxic food though! I even bought a non toxic deodorant and LOVE IT!!! My Husband even loves it and I drive him nuts with the things I tell him are bad! PEOPLE, LISTEN........those store bought deodorants are HORRIBLE!!!! Don't do it!! Just stop now!!! Run, don't walk to your computer and buy yourself some Primal Pit Paste. You'll thank me later!!! www.primalpitpaste.com. This stuff has changed my life! I know you are all skeptical of this, but I am telling you, IT WORKS!!! It will be the best $8.95 you will ever spend. I mean EVER!!!!
I am sure you are asking what this has to do with Baby R, BUT I want to live a healthier lifestyle for my Child. I don't want my child exposed to any more toxic things than necessary.
So, with that said, I have been doing tons of research on formula. A lot of it has toxic stuff in it, but I have found one that is better than the rest and guess what??? Yes, you all guessed it.....I will be buying it for the Baby! I found out about all the toxic things in the foods we eat everyday and the things we use that are just toxic from my newest obsession......Food Babe. I have been following her for a while and I think most people know her now from exposing Subway (YUCK, don't understand why ANYONE in their right mind would go there anyways) for using a material used in Yoga mats in their bread. Anyways, if you care about the health of yourself or your children, you should check her out.....www.foodbabe.com.
Ok, I will get off my soap box now and move on to Baby R's room.....It is kind of hard to not be in the new house to put together the room, but it is going to be a clean slate when I get to that point. I LOVE the way the room is taking shape though. The little windows in the front are SO cute!! It is going to be perfect! I am going to put plantation shutters on the windows and probably drapery as well on the big picture window on the side of the room. I think I have decided on a paint color for the room, but I want to wait until the bedding comes in to be sure. I found the PERFECT crib at Bratt Décor. It black distressed iron and just what I want! For the rocking chair, I didn't even know they made wing back rocking chairs, but I found one at Pottery Barn! This is what I always wanted. I wonder if they read my mind or something! YIPPPPEEEE!!!!! Both of these items take 10-12 weeks to deliver, so I am holding off until I know more of an exact move in date to the new house. Good luck to me trying to get that date nailed down!!!
The most perfect crib EVER!!!
This chair is going to look FAB in the room!!!!
There is so much shopping to do! I MUST make more time for all the shopping!! Good thing their is online shopping! What did Moms to be do before the internet????
So, I told the Hubby with my crazy schedule, I have to get a Maid again. We had the Maid when I was working full time, but when I quit my full time job, I thought it was kind of wrong to keep a Maid. But, as the house progresses, I spend more and more time at the new house with Contractors and driving all over town all day, everyday for all things house. So, I don't have time to clean our house or for that much, even find the time to do my laundry.
I had Jason call the Neighbors to inquire about their Maid and the next thing I knew, she was coming over here to look at our house. I told her that we have to keep this house super clean in order to sale it. (One day, we will get all the things done to this house, so we can HOPEFEULLY, sale it before we move into our new one). I talking with her, I told her that we were having a Baby in September and she looked at my stomach and looked back at me in complete confusion. It actually made me laugh, which rarely happens when things are brought into the picture of me not being the one pregnant. All I can say is, this wonderful morsel of a woman is going to be my new best friend! I can stop worrying about making time to clean and spend more time on all the other things going on. Now if only I could trust someone else to do my laundry. Not going to happen anytime soon.......
