Baby Update!

Hey guys! It's been about a month since I last blogged and updated y'all on the pregnancy and our sweet man! So since I went to the doctor this past week, I figured now would be a good time for an update! At my last visit (last Friday), my doctor said everything was as "perfect as it could be." This is SUCH a blessing to us. I'm afraid that all too often, we all are guilty of taking life for granted, especially healthy lives. We also take for granted the ability to be parents, when there are so many people out there who would give all they had to experience pregnancy and parenthood. With that being said, I am very grateful that God has allowed us to experience this and to bless us with a, so far, "perfect" pregnancy. 

We have also made a lot of progress on Camden's nursery! Matt finished painting it yesterday while I was at work and most of his furniture and bedding is here. I ordered the glider/rocker this afternoon and am so ready to see it in person! The glider and crib sheet are the last things we lack to be shipped to us. Then, it'll be time to DECORATE! Yay! I get so excited every time I walk in the nursery and think about having our little man in there in 4 short months!

Here's another quick rundown on everything!

Sleep: I have fortunately slept straight through the next for the past three nights, but the nights before were awful. Things are beginning to shift and get a tad bit uncomfortable.

Miss anything?: Being able to move quickly and lay however without sharp tummy pains

Movement: I'm convinced we have a little athlete baking inside.. He loves to throw his elbows and kick!

Food cravings: Not necessarily cravings, but I am in LOVE with those little mandarin oranges/cuties! 

Anything making you queasy or sick?: an empty tummy and the smell of vomit (which is unavoidable at work)
