Looking forward to a relaxing weekend away...

Somehow I was able to score a one night stay at any Hyatt in the world for free.  Since we have limited funds with the little one coming we decided not to travel too far so we will be staying at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, MD this weekend.  I'm looking forward to relaxing pool side with a (virgin) pina colada!

They give you a smores package at check in so you can roast your own smores by the fire after dark here:

Baby Shower

I'm really excited for my first baby shower in a few weeks.  I picked out the perfect dress below

Nursery Art Work

Since I have been getting the nursery together I have been looking online, mostly at Etsy, for some Nautical artwork.  Below are some of the items I  have come accross that I like and feel like would work in that room and coordinate nicely with the theme.  The first one is my absolute favorite.

Nursery Progress

We are slowly buying our furniture to complete the nursery. We had new carpet installed about a month ago, purchased and assembled the crib about 2 weeks ago, and painted the closet green. I'm so excited to see my plan come together!

Since the walls are painted a soft grey color (sterling by Behr) I wanted a pop of color in the closet. We chose garland green by Benjamin Moore.

Here is a pic of the closet:

Jeff putting together the crib. I especially like the last one - it looks like he is stuck under there - lol!

Checking in: 28 Weeks

I am officially in my third trimester this week! Very exciting for me.

Total weight gain/loss: I've lost count but Dr. says I'm good!

Maternity clothes? definitely yes

Best moment this week: Making it to the end of a 5k walk in DC. I think I will be taking it easy from this point on. My legs are sore!

Movement: yes, I love it!

Food cravings: still Chocolate Milk. I was worried about all the high fructose corn syrup I was ingesting by drinking all this chocolate milk (seriously, at least a glass a day) so I found an alternative brand sold at our local MOM's grocery store called Santa Cruz. It's not exactly healthy but at least I have an alternative. I've been switching off every other day.

I bought Jeff and Tyler matching shirts today. It's just too cute, I HAD to do it!
