Your Baby: Month 7
Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. 
----------------------------------Update--------------------------------------
To make a long story short we are moving out of our cute little townhouse and renting a very small 2 bedroom apartment to save money (a ton) and start looking for a house... it's bitter sweet because I know its the best things for us but at the same time baby M nursery was coming out so cute and it really makes me sad to leave! Sometimes you have to make  sacrifices and I know this one will pay off! Have Faith!!

Spring Finds

I am totally in love with all the spring/summer trends... except its so hard to stay trendy when your pregnant and can't find styles you love in maternity wear or that fit you properly in regular clothes (just larger sizes) Most of what I have purchased lately hasn't been maternity I would much rather just buy a Medium or a Large in tops and buy accessories to try and pull together some trends. Here's what I've recently purchased(that I could find online). Oh and I just want to point out that H&M has been totally winning me over, I am finding that there clothing selections, shoes and accessories are far better then forever21 lately. Go H&M! :)

Speaking of trends... I am in love with feather extensions, so of course I got some. I don't have a picture of mine but here's what I'm talking about.

24-28 Weeks (picture overload)

I don't know how I went from 23 weeks to 28 weeks.... time has been flying and with the warmer weather I find myself super busy. My iphone calendar looks like connect the dots with so many appointments, graduations, birthdays, meetings etc. but I am glad the weeks are flying by but I'm sure not getting any smaller lol with that said here's the bare belly pic from a couple of days ago.
 
 
The hubs and I finally started the nursery, after I had been bugging him to start moving his office stuff out so we could paint, he finally did. So the past couple of weekends we've started painting, putting up furniture and decorating a little.  
 
 
 
 The hubs Chocolate Brown walls are now Marina Isle

     

 After all the walls were painted the hubs worked his butt off to put "Tropical Water" stripes on the wall where baby M crib is going. 

Here is the outcome and what we have so far in the nursery. 
The hubs really did an awesome job!


Here are the valances that great grandma and grandma made to match baby M bedding 
using a cotton shower curtain.

 

 Oh and of course I can't forget to leave you with a picture of baby M from our 3D ultrasound

Let your spouse put an ear to your belly -- he might be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
