The highlights:
- Finally felt baby girl move this week!! It happened on Monday at work, which just so happened to be a super crazy day where I didn't get to eat lunch until about 2 pm. Right after I ate, I felt a few little flips and flutters. It was like she saying, "Thanks, mom. I've been starving."
- Loving all things edible right now. My appetite is fierce.
- We are heading to Ikea tomorrow to pick up a few things for the nursery.
- It's our first time ever going to Ikea. I cannot wait. Any tips?
- The hubs has been totally amazing lately, dealing with my crazy hormone mood swings and my perfectionist behavior all at once as we try to prepare for a baby AND sell our house.
- It's all starting to really feel real...there's a baby on the way! 4 months to go!
And just because I love a comparison...12 weeks versus 22 weeks.

you and little Baby E look adorable! I can't wait to see her! My advice for Ikea - give yourself a budget and track what you're putting in your cart. Everything is so cheap that you're just throwing things into the cart and at the end you're like "Whoa!" Happens to me every time ...
Ikea is so much fun when you actually have something to shop for! When you don't you just spend money you don't need to spend. You will have a great time!
You look beautiful!!! Feeling those first little kicks is the most amazing moment!
Congratulations!! You look amazing! I can't believe you've never been to Ikea!! We used to go there when where at uni just for an outing lol!My Ikea tips: make an afternoon/evening of it, lunch or dinner before and an ice cream after. Play pretend house, your hubs will probs walk off but this is your chance to pretend you live in a chic Manhattan apt or a Norwegian wood shed!
Annnd pick up a yellow bag and let the hubs push the trolley this way you can throw odd bits in the bag and wander off without worrying about a trolley that has a mind of its own!! Have fun!! xx
You look so good, Megan! I love the belly! As for IKEA... Prepare for craziness. At least that's how ours is! And try not to get overwhelmed, because you're pretty much going to want to buy EVERYTHING. Have fun and I hope you guys find what you're looking for! :) :)
You look great as always!! :)
I love IKEA! Take your time and make sure to write down the location of anything you even think you might want to pick up (the location is on the tag attached to the item). And make sure to grab a map! And...get food at the cafe before you leave! :)
meg you are one of the cutest pregnant girls ever! def take your time at ikdea. it can be overwhelming and stick to your list of what you need :)
Ikea is a blast! But definitely plan on spending some time there! My friends and I love to go wander around and look at everything! And all the little kid stuff is way cute! You will have a blast picking it all out!
Love the jumping pic! Congrats on movement the movement :)
Wasn't it just an awesome feeling when you felt her kick?! :)
That's such a cute story and is so sweet girl! So glad you felt her :)
Ikea is crazy girl! You will love it and probably get overwhelmed. Go there with a list- and know what you absolutely need. The website doesn't cover even a 1/4 of what the actual store has, so just be prepared with types of things you want/need. The only thing you'll need to know/do is to write down the bin and aisle # down of each item you see in the store. IF you forget one, don't worry, there's computers in the warehouse. And then...Have fun building :)
Y'all have so much fun!!
Love that belly! Yay for movement!!! It's amazing!
You are gorgeous!! Loving how you still manage to dress so cute even with a growing belly :)
Good luck at Ikea! I've never been but am dying to go soon!!
I love your baby bump! I'm 29 weeks and still look like you at 12 weeks...I wish I'd just show a little bit more!
I am dying to go to Ikea but the closest one to me is near Chicago. Only tips I know of is take a big car and it will take you a few hours to get through the entire store. Have fun!
Movement is SO so exciting, now it won't stop for the next 18 weeks ;)
You look wonderful girl!
You look wonderful and soo happy! I hope all is going well preparing to move, I know how stressful that can be.

You are too adorable!
I can't wait to start showing!
You look amazing Megan! :)
You are just adorable!!! Tips for IKEA: get ready to be worn out when you're done. My husband and I went to just pick up an outdoor dining set and we were exhausted when we got done. It's huge and there's lots of walking so grab a map of the place as you enter. Just have some patience ready in case your trip to the store takes awhile. And try to go earlier rather than later :)
You are cute as can be! I've never been to ikea either! Have fun :)
woo! growing!! :) Ikea has this cool Swedish food section near the checkout. I love their filled cookies and strawberry jam and their chocolate bars!
You look so darn cute! I love your jumping picture. haha Advice for Ikea? I have none because I have never been. What a sad thing to say. haha Have fun!! Overload the blog with pictures of awesome Ikea stuff!!
She was probably smacking you sayin, 'what took you so long, mom!!?' haha
How exciting you can feel her now!
You look fantastic!!! Love the picture of you jumping!
Oh Meg, now the fun really begins- feeling the baby really is the best! So happy for you and you are still looking awesome as usual!
awe, you look so darn cute. Love the comparison shots!
Oh so exciting! The first flutters are always the best! I can hardly believe you are 22 weeks already! It's flying by.
Have a great shopping trip to Ikea!
They grow so quick!!! You look great! So happy for you that you felt movement :) I love seeing it even more than feeling it! It's so crazy to soo your belly just start rumbling! haha!
You are SO cute!! Seriously! If I send you a link to a chair we are probably getting for T's room at Ikea, would you sit in it for me?!? I know that is random but we are too far to test it but are close to ordering it!
I can't get past the "I've never been to Ikea before".
What??
Really??
How is that possible?!
You'll love it though :) Take enough time to just look at all the pretty stuff!
Ikea tips? Just take deep breaths and try and focus on what's right in front of you, ha!
But seriously, there is SO much to take in that you can be hopping around from one thing to the other because it's so exciting! But mostly, just have fun :)
PS - You are one beautiful momma-to-be!
Happy Weekend!
