Beautiful Spring Weekend

It has been a beautiful weekend here in Orlando! Today I went to a Folk Art Festival & had some lunch on Park Ave with Dana. We stopped at two super cute baby stores - not that we can afford the high end stuff, but it sure was fun to window shop & eat lunch outside. The guy next to us at the cafe had a black bunny on a leash - that was comical & we didn't really know what to think. That's the second time I've seen people put their bunny on a leash, strange to me, but to each his own!

Jared has been parked in front of the TV for the Master's so I've been organizing & cleaning! Regardless of where we live, we need to make room for Gracie & her massive amounts of stuff! On Thursday we received the first approval from the underwriter. That was VERY exciting. I'm taking it with a grain of salt even though we have a commitment letter from the lender. They did ask for a few more documents, which were submitted Thursday & now we wait til Monday or Tuesday. The seller wants us to close on Friday so if all goes well (cross your fingers!) we'll be able to make that. Either way, we need to get a move on with the nursery!

How am I feeling?
Still feel pretty good. However, I'm not sleeping very well & having a LOT of acid reflux/heart burn. I'm staying away from the foods on the 'to avoid' list, but that's not helping. I still have the cough, but it's going away slowly.

How do I look?
Very pregnant according to tons of strangers.

Milestones
Still having lots of movement which is fun! I wonder what she's doing in there.

What am I craving?
Nothing really this week.

Aversions?
Still some vegetables. Thank goodness for V-8 juice!

What do I miss?
Being able to lift & move stuff on my own. I've been very reliant on Jared, but he's a great helper without me even having to ask.

What am I looking forward to?
A few things this week...First, meeting baby Gracie! I've been wondering what she looks like - especially because we don't have any more ultrasounds scheduled. Next, having my mom here for the baby shower! Very excited to see her & share that important day. And finally, getting the nursery furniture! I'm hoping we can order it very soon so we can attempt to assemble it without injuring each other ;)

Weight gain?
HOLY MOLY! 24lbs. I told the nurse I thought the scale was broken, she laughed at me. Why does she always do that?!?! The doctor said it's normal & all in my belly + some water retention in my legs & feet. Thinking I'll probably gain another 10-15lbs. Really hoping we get the new house so I can get a treadmill!

Discovery of the week?
That we're quickly running out of time to prepare!

Things I'm thankful for?
Great friends & family who have been listening, praying, wishing & hoping for us to get the house. And, thankful that the pregnancy is going well of course!

Have a great week! As soon as I hear about the results from the glucose test, I'll post.
Lots of Love,
Sara
