29 Weeks

How far along: 29 weeks!

Gender: it's a boy! 

Weight gain: I estimate between 20-25 lbs

Maternity clothes: oh yes, much needed!

Stretch marks: none yet!

Belly button in or out: definitely flattened, but still in. 

Sleep: it's been rough...baby boy seems to wake up right when I decide to lay down. I guess this is just a taste of what I'm in for in the months to come. 

Best moment this week: Spending the holidays with loved ones and feeling the extra love that baby G is bringing us all already!

Worst moment this week:

Miss anything: hot cocoa with baileys! Being able to put on shoes without it being such a production!

Movement: oh yeah! lots of kicks, flips, punches, etc. 

Cravings: still enjoying milk quite a bit!

Looking forward to: having the next few days off to relax and catch up with friends and family. 

Merry Christmas everyone!! Hope you all had a fabulous holiday!!

Wishing you all the best for a healthy and happy new year!!

I'll be home for Christmas...

Christmas has been spent home in CT this year, with both my parents and my in-laws! It's been a really low-key holiday, which is just what the doctor ordered. It even started snowing on Christmas Eve, while we were sipping our hot cocoa and watching 'It's a Wonderful Life'-it can't get much better than that!  And after a rough couple of weeks, we've all been remembering what this holiday is all about-the blessings in life that money can't buy.

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!

been an awful good girl...

This year, I would be really happy should I find these items under the tree....

necklace, slippers, watch, tripod, exfoliator, tea kettle, toms

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...at the G house!!

I love decorating the house this time of year. Going to storage and sifting through years' worth of ornaments, wreaths, pillows, etc. makes me all happy inside as I reminisce on years' past. The house always seems warmer and cozier to me this time of year. There's nothing like coming home after a long day, it's dark outside and only 4pm, and seeing the Christmas Tree all lit up. 

To me, it really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Happy decorating!!

Oh Saturday Mornings

There's something calm and peaceful around here on Saturday mornings. After waking up all week to a beeping alarm, there's a peace in waking up when my body decides to....which is usually before 7:30 lately, but still. I know Saturdays may not always be quiet and calm, especially when little ones are running around, but for now, Saturday mornings are tranquil and I love every moment...

Apartment Reno!

One of the perks of apartment living-we just got renovated, free of charge!

and I love that it's just in time for the holidays :) 

Kitchen/Bathroom Before: 

 and....After! 

I'm thrilled with the results!! I can't wait to show you some pictures with the holiday decor!

O Christmas Tree

December is here, and we're in full on 'Holiday House' over here at the G house :) 

The fire is lit, holiday music is playing, and the tree is up! 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
