Out with the old in with the new

17 weeks!! The following isn't a great picture of me but it was the best out of what Heath took. I know I barely have a bump but as Heath tells me everyday "Its just keeps getting bigger!!"

On Friday we cleaned the bedroom in order to finally put up the crib that has been setting against the wall. We had to go through a lot of little trinkets that we had collected throughout the years this meant a few packed up boxes to go to my bedroom at my parents house that we are currently using as a storage facilty, thanks mom and dad! Heath's sister Ashley joined us and took pictures as Heath and I put the crib together. Here are some of those pictures.

As this was a borrowed crib Heath had to be retaught how it went together because he was playing with my little cousins at the time.

Mommy and Daddy fit in the crib!

Here is the finished product!!!

Yesterday my mother and aunt took me out shopping for some new clothes. We were looking for mostly professional outfits as that's what I need for student teaching next semester. The plan was just to get a few items well we did not realize that stores were going to have so many clearance items that would work for my ever growing belly.

We spent over 3 hours shopping most of this time I spent in the dressing rooms being handed clothing with the instructions to try it on and then decide if you like it or not (something that Heath normally tells me when he takes me shopping). We saved over $500 in our thrifty shopping, of which I was happy about because I dislike someone spending lots of money on me.

I came home with three big bags full of new clothes which meant that today I needed to make room for these new items. I spent my mid afternoon today clearing out my closet and dresser drawers filling three boxes full of clothes I won't be able to wear for a while. I also have a good pile of clothes that I plan on donating as I haven't worn them in at least a year. This process is making things seem surreal I can't believe I'm having to put all these clothes away for a later time.

More on the baby we go in for a sonogram on Thursday! I'm so excited I get giddy everytime I think about it. Heath has started reading a baby book called Dad's Pregnant Too! I find the tips hilarious at least the ones Heath has shared with me. The author takes true stories from parents who have written him and then writes a little of his own advice to tie up the chapters. I would much rather read a book like his than the fact laden books I've found.
