Few Nursery Pictures

have to figure out what baskets/bins I want to get to use on this shelf

25 Weeks

I am now 25 weeks. My dr.'s appt last week was good, everything looks fine. I go in 2 weeks to do the glucose test, not looking too forward to drinking that stuff :( The baby is always on the move! I keep feeling bigger and bigger movements and can even see my stomach moving now. I've been feeling good, other than horrible heartburn and my hip/leg pain. The pain had been better for a while, but the past few days it has gotten really bad again. Oh, also......frequent trips to the bathroom. My uterus has been measuring high for quite a while, but the baby seems to like hanging out right on my bladder, which just isn't a lot of fun! This weekend, Chad put together the bookshelf that we are going to use as storage in the nursery, pictures will be posted once I finally make it upstairs to take a picture :)

Predictions

Found a web site that tells you different old wives tales about if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl. Here are the results.....
Boy 10
Girl 6
The majority of the old wives tales are pointing towards boy and that's what most people keep telling me also. In about 4 months, we will know if all the predictions are right!

23 Weeks

I am now 23 weeks! The baby is getting stronger and stronger, Friday evening I felt a huge kick! I'm starting to be able to tell the times that the baby is usually awake and active. We are getting more and more done with the nursery and working on getting things ready. My due date is now in less than four months. Time has really flown by.

20 Week Ultrasound Pictures

FINALLY.....I'm getting around to posting a few of the ultrasound pictures from our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looked fine and the baby is really growing! I had been feeling little flutters since before Christmas, but today those little bitty flutters have turned into something a lot stronger! I have gotten a few good kicks/hits today that's for sure! My hip/leg pain has good and bad days, especially depending on what shoes I wear or more if I wear shoes. My dr. did recommend some things and I am doing my best to do what he says, BUT one thing he said was to not walk around barefoot, well I absolutely hate wearing shoes, so that has been a hard one to follow. Luckily I found a pair of sandals that makes my pain a lot better, so as long as we don't get 20 degree weather again, I'll be wearing those all the time.

20 Weeks and Happy New Year!

I'm now 20 weeks, the halfway point! Tomorrow I go in for an ultrasound, can't wait to see how the baby has grown and changed since our last one which was done at 12 weeks! I know the baby better have grown because I can sure tell that I have grown :)

Here are some pictures from our big New Year's Eve celebration....

19 weeks 5 days

Nursery

Our main colors for the nursery will be green and yellow gingham. The bedding is called cottontail friends, it's gingham with baby animals on it. We are NOT finding out if we are having a boy or a girl so everything that we are buying is neutral. This is just the beginnings of the nursery, we still have a lot of work to do and I'll post pictures of the progress as we do more. This Saturday I will be 20 weeks, so I am almost halfway there!
