Week 25

Wow week 25! We're quickly finishing up the 2nd trimester, these last couple months have gone by so fast. The baby is moving around a lot more and I can tell the difference between rolls and kicks (surprise kicks aren't as much fun).

Here are some belly shots in the new baby room!! Ben has been working hard the last couple weeks, walls are now textured and painted. Some decorations are scattered around and we're going to order furniture this week. Hopefully by the end of January it'll start looking like a real nursery.

Ultrasound update

Good news, our next ultrasound date has been set for December 23rd, lets hope our little muchkin shows off this time.

Ben has been working on the baby room these past two weekends. The walls are now textured and primed. Next step, paint the ceiling (just white) then we'll be ready to paint a fun color and start decorating.

We've also decided to go forward with the Owl theme, that way it works for a boy or girl and we dont have to wait to paint and decorating. Here are the prints I'm going to order for the room. Colors will be based off of these and match the rest of the house nicely.

 

Week 22

This week we have a spaghetti squash baby. I don't know about you but that sounds really big to me. He/She has been rolling around and kicking like crazy, hopefully others will be able to feel it soon.

21 week ultrasound

We had our second ultrasound yesterday!

Good news - baby appears healthy and growing at an average rate. Bummer news - baby kept it's legs tightly closed so we don't know yet if it's a boy or girl. I'll ask the doctor at my regular appointment Monday when we can try again.

But until then, here are some funky looking baby photos. Baby is 0.9lbs and about 7 to 8 inches long (from head to bum).

Week 20

Week 20, half way point! These photos aren't very good and the angle is kinda funky but that camera battery was dying so I guess it's better than nothing. I felt the baby kick/move for the first time, it's been too faint for Ben to feel but he's been trying.

Week 19

Week 19, a large mango baby, ummm a mango smoothie sounds yummy. Baby is about 6 inches long (from head to buns) and 8 ounces. New belly photo and She-ra wanted to say "hi."

Baby Girl Room

I've been inspired by this print I found on www.etsy.com this morning. Thinking if this baby's a girl we might have to decorate the room loosely around a peacock theme...just a thought.
