Diaper Bags and Updates

I am about to start my 24th week this coming Sunday, and things in the belly department have really hit a growth spurt! I am no longer able to wear my jeans but have found a few cute maternity pants and of course lots of sundresses have become my go to outfits. My scrub tops are getting a little tight around the belly as well so while I have a few pair left that fit, I have switched to plain t-shirts and my lab jacket to get me through the rest of the pregnancy. Brody is kicking a lot still but Eric has still yet to feel. I really look forward to the day that he feels his little boy bouncing around in Mommy's belly!

Eric and I have had the last few days off together and I have really enjoyed our time together. Two full days off never happens for us with our conflicting work schedules. We even made it to the gym two days in a row, this hasn't happened much since our pregnancy started but we hope to get back into the swing of things. Yesterday we went on a diaper bag search and it turned out to be harder than I imagined. I really wanted a diaper bag with the clear covering which makes it easier to clean spills and such. The problem with this was, we didn't find many patterns that were fit for a boy. We made our way to pickles and ice cream and found one with blue, green and brown stripes and was really cute (I'll post a picture next time) so we went with that one. It is a Kalencom bag and I love it. Who knew diaper bag shopping could be so difficult! Today we woke up and both had appointments for haircuts. I feel 100 times better with touched up color and a good trim. We ventured off the the gym a little later and then to do some mattress shopping. We are in limbo about the new mattress because although a new one would be very nice, the prices can be somewhat steep on a good one and with the baby coming, we know we have more important things to save for and buy. Something for us to think about and possible purchase in the future, right now my back hurts every morning but is most definitely due to the pregnancy and lack of good sleeping position.
