The Nursery Begins!


My wonderful mother arrived on Wednesday and has been hard at work making our nursery look wonderful for our soon to be coming bundle of joy! We decided to go with an animal/safari theme. I figure that's neutral enough, what little kid doesn't love animals? It looks great so far, but I want to wait until it's done and I'll post the photos.
She did get to take one break though; Tyler, Mom and I went to see Kooza, the Cirque du Soleil show in town. It was amazing! The things these people were doing with their bodies was absolutely outrageous. It was a great show. We all had a good time and were very impressed.
Well, I think I've decided to find out the sex of the baby. I just can't take it! I'm too nosy! I want to know, with so many people I know having babies (5 at work and about 8 friends) I'm eager to find out. My next ultrasound appointment is Thursday and we'll be able to find out then. I'm looking forward to finding out whether it's a little girl or boy doing somersaults in my belly.

Feeling Wonderful!


So, I'm about 20 weeks along and I feel great! I finally look convincingly pregnant and I have energy again and I'm hungry all the time! That's much better than tired and queasy. I'm feeling Nugget move around in my belly and that's just crazy. I can't wait until it's strong enough to feel it from the outside and Tyler can feel it too.
Other than that not much is new, I'm just about exclusively wearing maternity clothes now. My great friend Stacy played personal shopper for me while I started my maternity wardrobe and that was a blast. The lovely shirt in the picture is one she picked for me.
We are trying to decide how to decorate the nursery, my mom is in town next week and had volunteered to paint while she's here. Right now the room is completely empty which is an improvement in itself.
Other than that, things are the same and going well. Hopefully next time I'll have some new ultrasound pictures.
Here's to babies and bellies!
