I used to go and just stare at everything, the bride, the decor, the cake, etc, just thinking of ways that I could incorporate my favorite things from that particular wedding into my own. Well now that I'm married and don't have to come up with ideas anymore, I'm wondering what it will feel like. I thinking instead of crying because I'm not sure if I will ever get married and have all of this stuff, I will just be crying at so happy I am that the ones I love are experiencing something so great, just like I have. AHHHHH! I'm just so excited!
So this week, according to my original due date given to me from my doctor at the VERY beginning, I'm 24 weeks along. According to the 5 ultrasounds I've had though, which have all measured baby growing at a constant rate, I have a due date of a week earlier (which I have to say, I like a little better). I know that one week is not going to make a huge difference, but I still like September 21st better.
We have also named Baby Atkins....finally. I guess it's not too uncommon to wait this long, but a lot of people I know have their baby named the second they conceive. We've decided to go with Lila. It's a name that can grow with her. I could see her with it at 1 and 85. We also like it because it's not super duper popular, but at the same time it's not one of those names that someone will have trouble with every time they see it. Most of you know what I'm talking about.
Lila's crib came this week as well. A lot of big stuff happening this week. Many many many thanks to Grandma Jane and Grandpa Jack for getting the crib for us. We absolutely love it. Neil and I spent a little longer than it should have taken, probably, putting up the crib last night. It's the only piece we have so far for the nursery so it still looks a little bare, but it will get there soon.
Now all we need is the mattress and the bedding to make the crib look complete! I'd like to take out the nasty maroon carpet as well, but We'll see further down the line about that.
One last thing...I had a very scary moment this week with baby and health. I had to go to the ER because I was apparently severely hydrated. I didn't even realize it. I was drinking and peeing just the same as I always do. I thought I was taking in plenty of water, but I guess Lila is sucking me dry. So now I am having to really concentrate on drinking TONS of fluids! If any other pregos are reading this, let this be your warning...DRINK UP!
Quick good luck to my sister-in-law and her soon to be husband on their upcoming nuptials this weekend. Everything will be beautiful and work out perfect!
So I am in love with that crib. Good choice!
