Baby Boy Breuer - 21 & 22 Weeks

I never got around to posting last week (although I did take a photo), so I'll combine weeks 21 and 22.  Not much new is going on anyway.  I'm definitely feeling better nausea-wise, but I'm still super tired most of the time, even if I get a lot of sleep at night.  I'm starting to feel "big" and get all the achy symptoms that go along with it.  I feel like I'm huge for only being halfway through the pregnancy.

We've done some prep for the baby's room.  First, we decided we'll move Lola to the front bedroom upstairs, as the crib fits better in the back bedroom (and then we don't have to move it).  It could fit in the front bedroom, but not with a regular bed as well, and I really liked having a regular bed in the nursery for late night/early morning feedings.  We will have to paint the back bedroom from pink to a more boy-appropriate color, probably green.  We plan to move Lola to her new room in September, so after that we'll paint and get the nursery ready.  There shouldn't be too much to do, since we have the furniture.  Just some new bedding and decor.

I made my first purchase of boy clothes - just a few things I ordered from Carter's.  It got me excited!  I also got a bunch of hand-me-downs from my friend Kolbi, who has a boy Lola's age.  I plan to go to a big consignment sale next month to stock up on more clothes, and then I hope to be all set for the first six months or so.

My goal for this week is to create my "baby to do" list.  I had one of these for Lola (which I got from my friend Jessica), and it was a big help - it kept me from feeling overwhelmed with all the baby prep tasks.  I'm hoping it will be a much shorter list this time, since a lot of the tasks were researching and buying things.
