Mike and I switched phones so I have a Bionic now, which is a lot faster than my Droid X. Now that its faster, I like to sit on Pinterest and pin away at all hours of the day (not to mention the fact that I am soaking in all the free time that I get because come April 2013, my free time will be NONEXISTENT).

Anyway! I have come to understand the power and addiction of Pinterest. The following pictures don’t even show HALF of what I have been trying to do around the house, but they will soon come to pass.

1. LAUNDRY ROOM BASKETS

On an organization website, they mentioned getting these really cheap fabric baskets from Wal-Mart and they have done wonders for my CRAZY laundry room.

2. SPRAY PAINT LETTERS

These run about eight bucks at Joann’s and I love how cute it makes my hallway look. I also painted the words RIDE for Mike on his den wall and it looks pretty sweet.

3. FABRIC COVERED CANVASES

These are going in the baby’s room with the “nature” theme I am going with. I love this fabric that I got from IKEA and I stapled them to a canvas and used them as the centerpiece for that side of the room.

4. MAGNETIC BOARD

We did this craft for an enrichment night at church. It’s made of a metal board from Lowe’s and then hot glued with fabric from Joann’s. I post the meals for the week on here.

How far along: 17 weeks, 2 days

Maternity clothes: Love dresses! I can wear all my normal ones and not feel so claustrophobic! I feel REALLY big this week and I’m not even halfway there. Curse you short torso! It’s time for me to be creative.

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: I’ve been sleeping a lot better because I have been wearing myself out doing all sorts of projects around the house. I also make myself go upstairs to bed now instead of falling asleep on the uncomfortable bean bag! The bed is my favorite place!

Best moment this week: Not being sick anymore and going for a bike ride with Mike and Kimball. Love being on a bike! Can’t wait to tear it up this summer!

Miss anything: Running and group fitness classes. I really, really miss my quality workout times with my husband. I love working out with him!

Morning sickness: No. I just get really, really hungry in the morning.

Movement: I am supposed to feel the baby this week. I am excited!

Food cravings: Donuts. Mike and I had one a couple of weeks ago and ever since, I can’t stop thinking about them. Terrible!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Teriyaki chicken, skim milk, and anything with heavy meat. Mike had me try a McRib sandwich (because I had never had one before) and hello heartburn! Needless to say, we will avoid that situation again. 🙂

Have you started to show yet: Yes…a little too much for how far along I am! Gotta be careful…

Gender prediction: This whole time I keep thinking it is a boy, but then I start thinking it’s a girl because I keep thinking it’s a boy!

Labor signs: No

Belly button in or out: In…when it pokes out I am going to be weirded out!

Wedding rings on or off: Actually wore mine this week.

Happy or Moody most of the time: I was seriously WAY moody this week and felt sorry for anyone in my path. I actually felt angry and enraged after work a lot over the stupidest things. Thankfully the people around me are saints.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender in a couple of weeks! And Thanksgiving this week!
