Smocked Auctions!

I have become obsessed with all things baby, especially clothes. All I do is think about baby stuff all day. A while back before I ever knew what I was having, my sister Anna told me about this site on facebook that she liked called Smocked Auctions. So, I went and I liked their page. Smocked Auctions is a site on facebook and every Tues. and Thurs. nights at 8:30 they put up a few cute smocked outfits. Now you see, you have to be fast b/c they only have a limited number and if you aren't fast enough to comment under the outfit you want, then you don't get it. Well I sat back and watched for awhile while other people bid on these cute outfits. After I knew what I was having, I figured I'd give it a try if I really like something. So last week I saw this cute bulldozer Jon Jon that I just had to have. So I put my information under the picture and waited till the next morning to see if my name was on the winning list. And it was, I had gotten the bulldozer Jon Jon. This is the first smocked outfit that Jack has and I was so excited about it. When it came in the mail it was even cuter than in the picture. I ordered a 9 month b/c he will be 9 months in the summer time and this Jon Jon will be perfect. Here is a picture of his first smocked outfit.

You have to be careful b/c the Smocked Auctions page is addictive. They always have cute stuff and it's hard to just sit back and not bid on something especially when you've gotten something from them before. I think I could go broke getting clothes for my little man. I should be getting another Jon Jon in soon so I will have to post a picture of that one too.

On another note my cousin Julie sent me the cutest cutest outfit for Jack. I love it!! When I opened it, I thought it was the cutest thing I have seen. She is so thoughtful. She told me that she saw this and it already had his name on it and she just couldn't resist getting for him. Thank you so much Julie, we love you very much.

22 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:


How Far Along: 22 weeks and 1 day!!

Size of baby:(this is according to thebump.com) Baby's now the size of a Papaya!

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Maternity Clothes: I think I have gained about 3 or 4 lbs so far. Definitely wearing maternity clothes. I can still wear a few and I mean like 1 or 2 of my regular tops the rest are maternity and all my pants are maternity.


Gender: It's a BOY!! Jack Leslie Mosley. We are so excited!

Movement: Definitely feeling movement now. Feeling little kicks and punches. I love when I lay in bed at night and feel him move. I also love that Rob can feel him now. It's just truly amazing that this little guy is growing inside me.

Food Cravings: I have just started having a food craving. My food craving right now is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, you know the cereal. I know funny craving, but I could eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner and be satisfied...haha.

What I miss: I don't miss anything. I have had a great pregnancy so far. I am loving every minute.

Sleep: There have been a few nights where I haven't been able to sleep, I just can't seem to shut my mind off sometimes. It's starting to get a little uncomfortable in the bed, like when I toss and turn. But nothing too bad yet!

Symptoms: Like I said before, I have had a great pregnancy so far. No major symptoms! I consider myself very lucky.

Best Moment this week: Getting baby boy's crib and bedding in and getting it all put together! And getting to see my little man on the ultrasound screen. I love watching him grow!

 What I am looking forward to: Registering and getting more things done to the nursery!



22 weeks!

I can't believe I am already at 22 weeks. This little man will be here before we know it!



Getting things ready!

Rob and I have started getting things ready for our little man. I was having trouble sleeping at night, I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was all the things that we needed to get done before baby boy gets here. So the other weekend, we got started. We cleaned out both guest bedroom closets, oh my gosh I didn't know I had so much stuff. The room where the nursery is going to be, I threw away some things, got Rob to take a few things to the attic and then I will give some things to Goodwill. The things I wanted to keep in the house were moved to the other guest bedroom closet. Well, that closet holds all my wedding gifts that I don't have a place for right now, so I had to straighten all that out in order to fit in all these other things. It was a little overwhelming at first, but we got it done. Jack's closet is all cleaned out and ready for him. He's even got a few outfits hanging in there already.

Our little man's crib came in about a week ago and I was so excited! It came during the week so I wasn't going to ask Rob to take it out and put it together when he got off work, I was going to try and wait until he was ready, being as he had to do most of the work. And in order for this crib to be put together, Rob had to take apart 2 beds, the beds in both guest bedrooms. He also had to put one of those beds back together in the other guest bedroom that way we could go ahead and put the crib in the nursery. And then after he did that he had to put the crib together. Lots of work! I got home and Rob knew that I was going to be excited/ready to get it put together and see what it looked like, and as I was sitting there he was like, ok let's get started. I was thrilled! I think he was a little excited about it too. Once we got all that done, the crib looks great, I LOVE IT! It is crazy to walk in that room now and see a baby crib. Every morning I walk in there and just look at it, thinking about my baby boy that will be sleeping in there soon. Here a few pictures of my wonderful husband putting together our sons crib.

The final product...I am so happy with this crib, I love it!

His bedding also came in last week and now this week the mattress came in. So the crib is ready to go! I have washed the bedding and it's already on the bed. Now I am waiting on a dresser/changing table, I am getting that from home. The dresser that was in my sisters room is getting refinished and painted for us to put in our nursery, hopefully it won't be too long before that gets finished. Rob and I are going to register this weekend and get that out of the way also we are going to order a glider. I am so happy that this nursery is coming together I still have to get stuff to hang on the walls. I am trying to be on top of things, I want everything done before he gets here and it's less I have to worry about. Once things are done I will post pictures of the final look of the nursery.
