Nesting.....finally!

So if you know me, you know I have been dying to nest for some time now.  I have been pinning ideas and projects on pinterest like a mad woman, just waiting for the time that I could actually do some of them.  Well, I think this coming week is it.  :)  I have been to Michael's to get craft supplies, I am hitting up the scrapbook store tomorrow, I have already been to the fabric store once with my aunt, but I think I am going back on Friday.....if I don't make it there tomorrow.  lol.  Matthew has been commissioned to put together the new desk/craft table downstairs so that I can pull out the sewing machine.  This girl is ready.  I am prepared to make pretty much everything decorative for Baby Girl's room.

Speaking of the nursery, it is painted and a few bookshelves have been put together with the help of my father in law and my wonderful husband.  The color has turned out fantastic!!  I am so excited about it.  The crib, rug and mobile should be in sometime this next week.  My aunt is so wonderful to agree to make curtains and a crib skirt for us.  I feel like it is finally coming together.

This week has been fairly uneventful, especially compared to last week....which is a good thing.  We feel like we have had more time to work on the house and get most of the boxes upstairs unpacked.  This heat, however, is slowing me down...a lot.  I still haven't really found any energy.  I never got it back in the second trimester, and the third isn't looking so good either.  I am exhausted all the time.  If I do find a small amount of energy, I only manage to get a couple of tasks done before I need to rest.  I am so not used to that. It is fairly frustrating.  So much that I want to do, but no energy to do it.

Baby girl is still growing, both in size and in strength.  It is amazing to watch her feet appear on my belly.  Tomorrow we go back to the doctor and we start one a weeks.  From here on out I will get an ultrasound and NST (30 minutes on the monitor) to check her progress and growth.  I am very excited about getting to see her again tomorrow.  Matthew is anxious to know how big she is now.  (I am not so sure why HE is worried about it...lol).  Hopefully she will be right on track.  :)

I am posting a few pictures of her nursery in progress....   :)  Unfortunately in these pictures you can't see the super cute light fixture we got....so I will post a before and after of that....I am going to "embellish" it a bit.  :)  BTW....if you don't know....Baby Girl's nursery will be in Aqua and Coral....so the coral is coming....I promise!

Trying times...

  Yes, today is 14 weeks and yes a picture is coming I promise, but hubby isn't home yet.  :(  But I need to vent.  Today has been a very emotionally trying day.  Life seems to be overwhelming me (probably along with a few hormones too!) and I am really struggling today.  Between work, grad school, and other aspects of life, I am left worn out and stressed out.  I am well aware that I am very blessed.  I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities in life and even now with this baby on the way I realize how great I have things.  However, maybe this baby is helping me to put things into perspective.  Some of the things that I once found so important don't seem to matter as much.  Deadlines have been mere suggestions lately.  Most of all, I feel like I am struggling to find my voice in the sea of those who want to tell me what to do, how to do it, or how I should be feeling right now.  I can't decide if I want to cry or sleep.  I know that many of you are going throu

Holy Week

This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few cravings this week, but unfortunately, I am cravi

Whadda ya think?

So, now that we have shared our big news, everyone's next question is..."well, are you going to find out the gender?"  My response is "ABSOLUTELY!" Ha!  My Type A- OCD personality has to find out.  Many people love the element of surprise that comes with not finding out, but I think the surprise of just meeting our beautiful baby will be enough, the rest must be planned.  :)  As far as preference, we don't really have one.  I would love to have a little girl to put big bow and flowers on their head and to cover in ruffles and frills, but a little boy would be tons of fun.  As long as the baby is happy and healthy, we are thrilled either way.  I have had several people make their suggestions as to gender based on my appearance.  One family member says it's a boy cause I am carrying all in front, a friend says it's a girl cause I am carrying down low.  My friends think it's a boy cause I haven't been puking like they were and they both had girl
