Today we sold Kinsley's crib... I told Gray I wasn't going to tell the buyer I was pregnant if she didn't notice because I thought it would look bad - why would be selling a perfectly good crib? I hear the lady outside ask Gray if we were planning on having anymore kids.. he says "no" while i say "i'm actually due in october".. AWKWARD.

I managed to tell her that we didn't want Kinsley to feel like baby sister was taking all her things, so we decided to get a different crib. Kinda true, but really I just like shopping and new things.

GYM
We went to the gym and signed up for a membership on Monday. We went 4 days in a row plus the waterpark on Wednesday. That has been such pick-me-up for my day. The Hills has been playing on MTV retro brunch so I make sure to go and do 35min on whatever machine has a tv then some weights or weight machines. Kins has a blast in the childcare. She didn't cry once or act too attached when getting dropped off. She plays with dolls, makes art work and plays with other kids.

She loved the waterpark but we definitely have to invest in this little inner tube with arm floaties thing that all the other little kids were wearing. I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to go down the toddler water slide with her but oh well. ha!

HOUSE
We are trading a lot of things out around the house.. decluttering, cleaning, donating and selling on craigslist. We've been working on this for a while. Today we purchased a new desk for Gray and a new small buffet for the dining room. My cookbooks and serving plates have been all over the dining room table since my sis came back to claim our coffee station/storage.

BUYS
Lauren and I took the girls consignment shopping at a trade show on Friday. They didn't have much but I did manage to get a couple cute things for baby girl. I also have bought the cutest headbands and a couple things from baby gap with a giftcard from my parents. They are ADORBS! I'm SO happy fall stuff is finally coming out!

JULY | 24/25 weeks preg

Our Beach Sched

8:30-9am wake up

drink coffee

watch hills

11am go to beach

1:30pm come in for showers and lunch

2:30/3 nap for kins and mommy and daddy go walking 

5pm kins wakes up

7:30pm dinner

8:45-9pm bed time for kins- rock and read 4-5 books, sing amazing grace, twinkle twinkle, sunshine and baby bunting, give kisses

She loved sleeping in the pack-n-play.. not sure if she liked being back in confined space or if she was just exhausted at the end of the day. The week leading up to our trip was a nap/sleep nightmare. No naps and temper-tantrums at bed time. All since the "big girl" bed of course and having the freedom to get up and come out.

We weren't sure how to get back on a earlier schedule (because we save a lot of work to do after Kins goes to bed and if she doesn't go to bed til 9, I'm not far behind her haha).  Luckily, she has been taking good 2 hr naps, and bed times are falling around 8pm (still playing around with the best time) and she's in a mommy-only phase. I love Gray for trying to give me a break and spending hours trying to put her down. He rocks and reads and sings and she always tricks him into getting "one more hug" from mommy ha.

We joined the Y the monday we got back and it is HEAVEN. I love that I can go or not go or leave or only stay for 10mins or whatever without having to be so committed to childcare. She loves playing with new toys and other kids, and I think it is helping with some of the attachment issues (but not really).. mainly just giving me a little bit of a break, a little boost of energy, and a little feeling better about myself in this stage of preg.

I had a Dr. appt the other day and things are going well! Heart beat was 156bpm. Kins came with and sat/ laid on the table with me during the checkup. They told me to take iron supplements so hopefully that will help with energy... plus I have been making it a priority to eat better. This pregnancy I have been way better with diet, but last pregnancy I ate bad but exercised more.
