25 Week Update

Happy New Year! Our New Year's Eve was quite uneventful. I was pretty tired after driving back to Pensacola, so I wasn't up to much more than watching TV. I did manage to stay up long enough to celebrate the new year in Eastern Time, but not Central:) I had a great visit with family and friends though, and now sad that it's back to work so soon.

While in Orlando, I did pick up some furniture at Ikea for the nursery. They didn't have a crib that I liked but I did pick up a dresser. So now we can get all the clothes we've been getting off the floor! The nursery is currently just acting as a place to store some of the baby items we've picked up and we haven't done much to it. But with 15 weeks left, I guess it's time to get on that. We're going with a sailing/beach theme for the nursery which is certainly appropriate for where we live. If you're curious, you can see some of the things we've picked out at our online registry here: http://babyli.st/baby-blalock-registry. Etsy.com has lots of cute decorative things related to sailing! We don't have any baby stores near us, so we're going to have to order most stuff online. Hence the online universal registry.

The bump has expanded this week, though some of that could be eating lots of tasty holiday food:

I have my 6 month check up next week, though hopefully everything is fine and I won't have much to report!
