Nursery update/ 24 weeks pregnant

We ordered our baby furniture last week--you can see a photo of it below. All that needs to be done is picking it up! It's encouraging me to move out the boxes that have been temporarily placed in the baby's room. Bedding is chosen but we're waiting for Doug Jr's/Doug-guina's arrival to see whether it's going to be "Mod Ladybuys" or "Mod Turtle". (The future Daddy chose them...and I was very happy to oblige :P) I'll be sure to bring my laptop to the hospital so we can send off for these things ASAP.
All the grandparents: Crawford's, Fagala's, and Selvera's have so GRACIOUSLY helped us to get the furniture we'll need for the nursery. All we need to do now is choose a comfy chair for Mr. Douglas and I to use! My godparents Romeo and Viola are also helping us with some additional accessories we found out about too: mattress, conversion kit, etc. Thanks to all of you for these incredible gifts.
Here's a shot of me (23 weeks, 6 days) prior to the pilates class I thought I could handle. I couldn't get past the warm-up knowing that I was going to spend WAY too much time on my back= not good for baby. So I just finished up my workout with weights and cardio. I also went shopping for a pregnancy bathing suit...yuck. Aqua classes at the gym are beneficial, so I'll just suck it up and strut my stuff. ha.

I'll be looking for a pregnancy bathing suit in the near future as well. (The base offers free prenatal swim classes!) I saw some super ugly ones online, but Mimi Maternity had some decent ones. Let me know what you find! I'm not far behind you!

I started Aqua Aerobic classes on Saturday. I have been to 2 now and LOVE them. I am sure you will love them too! And don't worry about the bathing suit, just embrace the fact that for once you don't have to worry about sucking in your tummy at the gym :)
