Due in March!: Updates in Week 8

Bloating or maybe a little baby belly, nausea mainly in the evenings, lower back pain, and irregular sleep patterns are all with us now! I'm not sleeping very good at night, waking up a couple of times a night without being able to go back to sleep but I do love my afternoon naps. When I get home from work I like to lay down for a couple of hours but if I sleep too long my tummy hates me for it! I'm nauseous and can't really eat but I know I need to. Not a fun feeling so crackers and peppermint tea have been getting me through it. Then I drink a cup of chamomile tea to go to sleep which works for a few hours.

To help with the back pain I started to do a prenatal yoga video (which reminds me I need to do again tonight) and I think after I get used to it I will feel much better. Last Saturday morning Nikki, my future sister-in-law came over to help me through it for the first time since she is very experienced at yoga and boy am I glad she was there! She really helped me a lot with positioning!

I am getting excited about nursery stuff now! My dad and stepmom have offered to buy our crib so now we just need to figure out what color we are painting the room and start looking! I want to actually play around with the cribs in store to make sure they are good (having an experienced new mom like my stepsister will really help here!) but I think it's going to be a dark wood like expresso or chocolate color. I really like these nursery designs below so far, tell me what you think by leaving a comment!
