To be honest, it was just so much easier to post on Facebook and Google+. But now, I'm going to try and use FB less and less and just use Google+ to share these posts. Facebook is fun and I love catching up with friends and family there, but it's made me lose my writing. It's so easy to just jot down a few words and post a picture, but I want to start actually writing again. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course, HERE, it might mostly just be pictures because, let's face it, Henry in pictures is so much better than in the written word. But I'm hoping to fill up Leaning Shanty with my writing, so make sure to check in with me there...leaningshantyfarm.blogspot.com.</div><div><br></div><div>For today, I post some cute Henry pics...

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The main furniture in the room is the crib, two ladder shelves (one on each side of the bed), a glider/recliner, & the dresser/changing table. Now I just need to add all the adorable accessories...pictures, the blanket curtains, toys...eek! I can't wait!!<br /><br />And can I just say...my hubby did THE BEST job on the paint, trim & putting all the annoying furniture together. I think he's a keeper.

<br />
Here's tonight shot...30 weeks & 3 Days...<br />

<br />
Here's what makes it even more real...we picked our baby's birthday! Baby Boy Taylor will be born on Monday, February 11th at 11:30am. Wow. So. Real.<br />
<br />
Yeah, maybe we should get the nursery done? Yeah. We're still looking into getting all the electrical done, so we've just continued waiting and waiting and waiting...and it is KILLING ME! Ugh.<br />
<br />
So I try to make myself feel better by making a virtual baby room on my MoodBoard app. I just adore everything I've picked out and I Cannot Wait to put it all together!<br />

I'm pretty sure that once the room is finished, I will never want to leave it! I can see myself sitting in that chair and reading and rocking...all this, of course, <i>before </i>the baby gets here. :) I just want the room to be cozy...I hope Baby Taylor thinks it is.Leaning Shanty Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06479091668927398721noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787588654563752638.post-50975328168269880542012-11-14T20:57:00.001-08:002012-11-14T20:57:31.093-08:00We're Off to See the Wizard...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've hit 26 weeks and I'm starting to feel that uncomfortable feeling. Usually just when I'm trying to sleep. I can't complain too much, though, because I've had a pretty good pregnancy so far. (Knock on Wood!) My skin is starting to reach capacity, I think...ooof...better start being more consistent with that lotion!</div>

Best part of Halloween was getting to wear my skeleton baby t-shirt! Most people either thought it was hilarious or creepy. I love it and just wish I could wear it again...only getting to wear it for one whole day was such a shame.</div>

The other FANTASTIC thing about Halloween was when my dear friend Kellie Binney-Smart dressed up as a pregnant Mrs. LT. Hilarious!! I think she was the hit of the day! She nailed what I would wear. I was pretty impressed. :)</div>

The Kinder ladies dressed up as characters from The Wizard of Oz...I was Scarecrow. Hopefully, I'll have a picture of the group of us soon to post. We are the most coordinated & well dressed group every year, if I do say so myself. :)<br /><br />HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!</div>

We love to visit one of our old haunts to pick pumpkins every year: <a href="http://www.rodonifarms.com/index.php" target="_blank">Rodoni Farms</a>. When we lived in Davenport, it would make my whole day when I saw them putting their pumpkins out. That meant it was truly the start of fall and of the Best Five Months of the Year! <br />
<br />
We picked four pumpkins this year...two of which are HUGE! They're so pretty, I kinda don't want to carve 'em up. Especially the Fairytale ones. They're almost too squat-y to carve anyway and this will be a nice excuse to keep then around through Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
While we were over the hill, we also trekked back to Davenport's <a href="http://davenportroadhouse.com/" target="_blank">Roadhouse</a> for a late lunch. Their menu is never the same since they change it up to work with what's seasonal and what's local. It's such a smart set up. It does mean, however, that their menu is very small...which can be tough for a gluten-free pregnant girl. I still ate a delicious salad and was introduced to a new vegetable: Watermelon Radish. They were raw & thinly sliced over the salad. Who knew I'd actually love them? They're called that because when you look at the slices, the edges are a marbled green, then a layer of white, then the middle section is a deep pink/red. I just hope we can actually find them at the store because, let's face it, it's rare to find a vegetable that I will voluntarily eat. <br />
<br />
We also got to stop at <a href="http://www.donnellychocolates.com/" target="_blank">Donnelly's Chocolates</a> for a little treat. Mine have already been eaten - I have no self control. If we haven't taken you there when you visit, DEMAND that we do next time you're in. It's, hands-down, the best chocolate I've ever eaten...and I've had my fair share of chocolate in my day.<br />
<br />
And, of course, while we were pumpkin picking, we had to take a "bump" picture to show off being at 22 weeks.<br />

I never remember to do them because by the time Drew gets home from work, I'm out of my cute work clothes that really show it off. Because, let's face it, all I wanna do when I get home from work is put on comfy clothes! (That's now AND pre-pregnancy.)<br />
<br />
Here's one Drew took of me on the coast of Bodega Bay. I'm about 18 weeks here.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not too much of a bump...more of the baby just pushing out my pre-existing tummy pudge. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then Drew took this one this morning. I'm almost 22 week here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's definitely been some bump growth...and in only a few short weeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hadn't really been taking bump pics because I wasn't seeing that much of a difference. But now I'm noticing growth every week! I guess I should start taking weekly pics now, huh? :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And whoever said that boys carry low is wrong-o! That stomach couldn't get any higher!</div>

<br />
Bending over isn't as easy as it used to be and it makes me dizzy, too. Getting off the couch is actually a chore and flopping onto it is less fun and more of a necessity. Today in particular the hunger has not ended. Which is a nice change considering that most days I still don't feel much like eating. And speaking of eating, my stomach actually looks like it's carrying a baby and not just an extra serving of doughnuts. (Mmmmm...doughnuts.) And since when did sitting up straight get so exhausting?<br />
<br />
Don't think I'm complaining...I'm enjoying it...for the most part. :) And really, the most exciting thing that started going strong this week was being able to feel the baby move. And boy can that baby move! I swear he's swimming from the bottom of my uterus to the top. It's crazy and I love it!<br />
<br />
Hopefully, this weekend we'll get a lot done in the nursery. Last weekend was supposed to be the start of it, but I think I got my poor hubby sick. (Opps - sorry, Drew! Comes with working with snotty, dirty kids that never wash their hands.) But since I've finally gone through all four bags FULL of baby clothes from friends, I have got to have a place to put them! Right now, they are strewn about the hearth & on one of the living room chairs.<br />
<br />

We've got a room picked out, but it is Full of Junk! (We redid the walls in the office and everything from <i>that</i> room got put into the guest room/nursery.) I'm hoping to clean the room out this weekend because, I don't know about Drew, but I'm ready to start buying things and we need a place to put them!<br />
<br />
I've already started two "Wish Lists " on Pinterest: one for more misc. baby things and one for the nursery.<br />

<span style="color: #663366;"><span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">We had our *BIG* ultrasound today to find out that we are having a BOY! And, oh man, if this little one is anything like his dad, I am in serious trouble!!</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366;"><span style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">Honestly, I already know I'm in trouble. That kid would not stop moving during the ultrasound! </span><span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">He swatted at the "camera" right away, had the hiccups, sucked his thumb, did some tumbling and rolling. But my favorite was when he yawned twice. Mostly because it looked like he was laughing...and we do a lot of that in this house, so I think he'll fit right in.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">As far as baby's health goes, I assume all is well. We don't meet with our doctor until Monday. But our technician was upbeat and lighthearted the entire exam, so that made me feel good. It's like when I'm flying and get nervous...if the flight attendants are calm, then I'm calm.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">I am so excited to finally find out what we're having...it makes it so much easier to start planning the nursery, buying baby things and all that<u> fun </u>stuff! Plus, I feel like I can connect so much more now. No more calling him "it." Of course, that brings up the fact that we don't have any idea of what to name him. We had a girl's name picked out, but we just can't seem to decide (ie AGREE) on a boy's name. So any and all suggestions welcome! :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">Until then, Drew and I lovingly (and jokingly) have been refering to him as Hamish Obediah. (Don't even ask...it's kind of been an on-going joke in our house for the last 4 months.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">So now that we know we're having a boy, I'll (hopefully) be posting on here a lot more with all sorts of adorable baby related things! :)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #663366; font-family: georgia, serif;">Until then... Lots of Love from Abbey, Andrew & Hamish Obediah ;)</span></div>

<br />
Since very early on in the pregnancy, I've definitely been rocking the maternity pants...the bloating has been crazy. I start my day looking normal and then by the evening I look at least 5 months pregnant. Seriously. <br />
<br />
But starting a couple of days ago, I noticed that I was waking up with more of a belly that I had previously. I tried to suck it in, but only the very top of my stomach would go in and the bottom half just kinda...moved. It was strange, but pretty darn great at the same time. Ahhhh...a little confirmation that things are still going well in there.<br />
<br />
You've probably noticed that I have not posted anything on Facebook/Google+ just yet. I'm still just too terrified to. We've told those that we want to know...and those are also people that, if something were to happen (knock on wood!), we wouldn't mind telling that to, either. But I'm not sure I would be ready to tell the world wide web if something went wrong.<br />
<br />
I know that I've been given the okay by the doctor and I've reached 14 weeks...the "official" 3 month mark, but after this last year with it's 2 miscarriages, it's just too hard to relax completely into this pregnancy. Why do I have to be such a worrier??
