Girl or Boy?

Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I had this feeling. 

I am having a girl.  I thought that for the longest time, until this week.

For some reason, I think I'm having a boy now..who knows why.

BUT we find out WEDNESDAY! I cannot wait.  It's all I think about now...I can't wait to actually call my baby by his or her name.  AH!

I would be lying If I told you I haven't already bought a swimsuit for a little girl.  It was the most precious thing I've ever seen.  If they had it in my size, I would have bought that thing so quick and never looked back.

Anyway,  for fun I made a little poll on the side of my blog where you can vote BOY or GIRL!  Come on, do it!

Be on the lookout for the gender reveal later this week...and maybe I'll announce his or her name as well! We will see...

Bathroom Update!

We moved into our house in September of last year.  One of the things we loved was the big master bathroom, however, I was not crazy about the HUMONGOUS mirror in there.  It was just too builder grade for me.

When my dad said he was coming to visit, I knew just the project for him!  Updating the bathroom. :)

Here's a before picture of the bathroom.

 (Don't mind the dog in the shower-haha!)

And here's my inspiration photo from Pinterest, of course.

I liked that the mirror was broken up by panels.  Let's see how mine turned out!

We originally had one light fixture above the center of the mirror, but I have always wanted two and thankfully my dad knows how to do all the electrical stuff.

Here's the updated version of our bathroom!:

Yes, my shower is dirty.  No, I really don't care that much to clean it right now.

Do you love it?  I wish you could see it in person.  It looks SO much better and custom now.

The total cost of the project?  $109 for the materials and $50 for both light fixtures.  For a total of around $160.  I think that's money well spent! I love the final product.

Got a few more house projects to complete, including the nursery, before baby Jones comes! Better get on it!

total weight gain/loss? Still under my pre-pregnancy weight, but the good news is I am not losing anymore!
maternity clothes? Yes please! I love maternity pants...they are so comfortable because the button on my regular jeans is bothering me.  I don't wear maternity tops yet.  And today I just bought a maternity swimsuit for when we go on our babymoon next month- it was $20!! 
stretch marks? No
sleep? Trying not to sleep on my back and sleeping on my side is annoying..but I don't really have a choice.  I feel like I'm more tired these past few weeks than when I was in my 1st trimester! I could sleep all day if I was able! 
best moment this week? My dad came to visit us and we did some projects around the house..including installing a front porch swing.  Photos to come soon of the projects! 

movement? I'm not feeling anything yet.
food cravings? Sour candy, taco bell, beans, and milk.  (Maybe one of these days I'll crave fruit or veggies..let's hope so!) ;)
gender predictions? I have a feeling it's going to be a girl.
what i miss: Sleeping on my stomach, feeling 100% normal, and turkey sandwiches.

what i'm looking forward to: Finding out the gender NEXT WEEK!!!! 
how are you feeling? Doing a lot better than before...I had a crazy pass out episode last week but I'm fine...not really sick anymore, Thank the Lord!!!  And starting to slowly get energy back.

maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity pants that I wear to work (I am wearing them in the photo above) and I love them.  I think they make my bump look bigger too, and I like that. :)  Also in that photo, I had just eaten and my belly always increases after I eat...I mean, I look kind of like I am 18 weeks preggo or more!
stretch marks? No
sleep? Sleeping okay...I do have to get up in the middle of the night to pee.  And that get's on my NERVES!  I have never had to do that until now.  Also for about the past week and a half, I wake up extremely thirsty and have to go get a big glass of water.

how are you feeling? Still on the upside as far as nausea goes...I do still get sick sometimes, but usually eating something helps..
