More to come soon.. Now off to watch a movie and enjoy our labor day weekend.. Happy Holiday weekend everyone!

How your baby’s growing:

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she’s more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby’s increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won’t faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

Other Pavey News:

We went to our 23 week appointment yesterday and from my 20 week ultrasound the dr said she would move my due date up a few days! It is now ‘officially’ the 28th of December.. Though she said it the 20 week ultrasound showed my due date to be the 24th, christmas eve!!   I’ve already heard from many moms the baby will arrive when he feels like it so I’m not counting on either date, and really we aren’t going to be going anywhere other than the hospital anyhow

Feelings:  I’ve still being feeling great.. I’m noticing more tightness in my tummy and becoming increasingly uncomfortable in the car.. Other than that I’ve enjoyed ‘nesting’.. Justin and I have been doing countless house projects and have really had fun getting everything organized and put in their place.. Hmm since now week 24 is Tuesday I will write more then!

In business news: I have purchased many new newborn props and can not wait to try them out! If you are having a baby in the next few months, or if are are pregnant and would like a photo session be please contact me! I will only be taking a few more regular sessions, until Mid October, though I may take a few newborn sessions in November..  If you have questions please do not hesitate to ask.. Check back soon for updates about my photo session tomorrow..

Since this blog is really aimed at moms, the MomAgenda will be my focus today. I will share my two favorite styles, and encourage you to check them out yourself. I believe the Dandelion Patch in reston still carries these, though I know from working there they are very popular and sell out quickly..

So this is the planner I have, which is a neat combo, since I use it as my wallet as well as my planner. All of their other planners are just calenders, and not wallets…

Is is not so pretty It really has held up great, I’ve had it for a year and it still looks new!

Part of the inside… I really like how there is both a Month section, which I can see every day together, with plenty of space to write..

AS WELL AS

a Daily/weekly section!

And a fun section both in the front and back to keep important info close by..

This is my favorite feature, though its hard to tell from this photo.  Beneath each day of the week there are 5+ small sections labled ‘kids’.. Not that I have 5 kids, though if I did I could track each of their schedules by the week, and  have their name neatly listed on the side For now I categorize items such as ‘business’ or ‘to do’ or ‘justin’ though since I am what he affectiontly calls “The Keeper of the Calender”, he rarely adds anything to the family schedule

A few of their other styles, and a closer look at the Weekly view..

I hope you check out Mom Agenda and like them as much as I do!

**I have not been sponsored by any of these companies to promote these products.. When I love a product I want to share it with everyone

I found a basket which wasn’t being used and happened to have category cards, it was pretty simple. Now I can be extra organized to send birthday cards, thank you cards, and notes just for fun! Can you tell I love snail mail?

and since this post would be not nearly as much fun without an image, here are a few of my other favorite stores I promised..

One is Matilda Jane, they have the custest, most unique clothes! Most of their clothes are for little girls, though I have a dress which I call my tinker bell dress..

I just grabbed a few photos from the Matilda Jane site, check out their website for more cute things! Or check out their BLOG for more fun things..  There are too many to share, too bad they don’t make little boy clothes

These all would make clothes for a fall photo shoot, or really any photo shoot

How your baby’s growing:

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he’s even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you’d be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he’ll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Other Updates:

Baby Movements: I have been feeling him move a lot in the last week or two. It’s fun to be able to have little reminders throughout the day there is a little baby growing  So far I have not felt any baby hick ups, though I have heard that is something in the next few weeks to expect..

Bump Updates:  Someone asked me for the fist time if I am ‘expecting’.. It was fun that someone noticed, and was able to say ‘yes!”.

Baby Comments: So far the most popular has been about getting a tax credit.  Since getting a tax credit for having a December baby is a good thing I really don’t mind.. Also, having a Christmas baby is seeming to be even more exciting than I thought. For all we know we could be at the hopsital on Christmas morning. My family growing up always made birthday s BIG deal, which was really fun! Justin and I have carried on the tradition and will make sure that Baby Pavey has his birthday presents wrapped in birthday paper, NOT in Christmas paper I was an early January baby and my mom was always very good at making my birthday a celebration of my birthday, and not a Chrismtas afterthought..

Nursery Updates: Nothing too new this week. We bought black out curtains, this really was more for us, since the light streams right through that half of the house the majority of the day.. It has kept our upstairs much cooler.. My friend came over and gave me some good tips on how to rearrange the nursery,  just by moving a few things around we may gain more space.. Bring on the nesting! hahah Justin is such a good sport, he has already moved everything in our house around MULTIPLE times, and he has not complained once Well, only what 4 months or so to go : )

I still need to take a photo for the week, check back sometime in the next few days.. Also, I’m trying to get my office all squared away and organized so after the baby I can still take clients without being too scattered.. I have begun scheduling Senior Sessions, which is exciting! If you would like a senior photo session please let me know, i have a few slots left in the fall, otherwise we will need to schedule a spring session

Here are a few things I just ran across when searching through the baby section.. I’m resisting buying Baby Pavey clothes a little longer though Maybe when he doesn’t grown out of everything in a month…

Ok here they are, from the baby section.. And the little girls things were too cute to leave out

Well we are off to do errands so my other two favorite companies will have to late. Check back soon!
