Updates on Life and the Master Bedroom

Well, it's been a while.  Pregnancy makes it hard to find a lot of time to do extras... here are a few updates on what has been going on with me.  I've been feeling really good!  I'm at 24 weeks now and still haven't had a hint of morning sickness... except when I brush my teeth.... it turns into a gag fest every morning... but I usually don't throw up... too much info?  For someone who hates going to the doctor soooo bad, I think I'm doing pretty good.  Usually I'm the kind of person who doesn't go to the doctor until I feel like I could die, so 7 doctor visits in the last 5 months has been.... challenging.  I still have nerves every time I go, but I think it's getting better.  The last we went, I didn't even ramble!  Normally I ramble on and on about how I'm nervous to be there.  I was so proud of myself.  The only real thing that I'm dealing with from the pregnancy is fatigue.  I go to work all day and basically just want to pass out when I get home.  Here's my latest picture at 23 weeks.

As far as the house goes, we've been working on the outside a lot.  Our goal is to get the area directly in front of the house all level and have grass planted by the time the baby comes.  The baby's room has a first coat of paint on it (pictures to come later).  And I finished the master bedroom!  One of my goals before the baby comes!!  I can cross a whole 1 item off the list!  I still have to tackle the master bath, but for now I'm happy that the bedroom is finished.  When I last left off, the bedroom had been painted and I had hung my DIY starburst mirror over the bed.  Now, I put back the curtains and added accessories.

Sorry... crooked picture.

For the side tables, we NEVER used the too-small lamps we had before.  We're really just not read-in-bed kind of people.  So, I got creative and made a stick arrangement from our yard.

Still trying to decide what will go over the dresser.

My pregnancy pillow has made a home on the bed.

That's it!  Oh and by the way, we're having a girl!!  :)  I'll be back later this week with a nursery update.
