Updates..

Yeah I know, I'm pretty lazy about this blogging thing. I knew that I would be. I should've warned you all ahead of time!

Anyway, we are at 21 weeks. We had our sonogram last Tuesday and everything is good. We are having a little girl! She was measuring at about a week ahead of what my due date is so the sonographer said it'll be sometime between June 22-26 at this point. She was in the breech position for most of the time so we had a time trying to find out what was between those legs. J said it was because she is a lady and that she didn't want to show us. I think she was just being stubborn! But after a while, she gave up and let us see! Poor Baby. She was mad for the rest of the day! I had the boy vibe for a long time but maybe that was just a hope. Not that I'm not excited as all get out to have a girl, I guess I was just trusting my vibe! But that is usually how it goes!

I am finally feeling those little movements and kicks. It feels like a mix between muscle spasms and bubbles. At first I really didn't recognize it but after the sonogram, I knew that was what it was! It was weird how I was clueless about it and then it just clicked. That is how it usually is with me though. It's exciting to finally know that she's ok.

I haven't started showing yet so I'm still anxiously awaiting the day that my bottom part of my belly evens out with the top part. Oh well, maybe it will happen, maybe not. As long as she keeps growing I'm fine with whatever my body does! I've been feeling good, just more tired and easily worn out. I'm still trying to organize the house and Sunday did finally get our closet cleaned out. Now I just have to hang up all the clothes I have thrown in the basket! I'm off tomorrow so I'm hoping to get around to getting some, if not all, those boxes in the dining room unpacked or at least try to figure out what to do with them. But thinking about it, it'll be just an empty space once all that is done. *sigh* Hopefully that'll encourage us to come up with something creative to do with the space! We have a small table that will go in there and maybe the other half will be a reading area until it becomes a playroom or something of that nature. Do people even use formal dining rooms for that purpose anymore?

I'm still not sure what I want to do for the nursery yet. I'm trying to keep it as simple as I can and not go too girly. I'm just not a pink lover, really. I have found some green and browns I like so that may be the colors. I'll have to consult my designer friends to get some ideas. But I did find some really cute pink sheets that were at Target. I don't know... I have found a crib and it's pretty resonably priced for a convertable one. Cribs apparently have come a long way from what they used to be. Most convert from a crib, to a toddler bed to a full size headboard. That is the way it should be! I do know, that more than likely, the baby's room will be the first room in the house to have a different color paint on the walls! I have all intentions of painting other rooms but there is just so much to think about right now I just can't even go there!

Well, that's it. I hope all of you are well!

Love,
