Productivity!

This week I have cleaned and organized every room in the house (except for laundry room). It feels really GREAT to have everything sparkling and I definitely feel less stressed about everything which is nice. Baby girl has been kicking me like crazy and I have been SO ridiculously hungry to day. 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, now a snack... hahaha the joys of being pregnant.

In more fun baby news - we got our little girl's bedding today thanks to A's parents. It's SO cute - I just love it! I can't wait until we have a crib and storage and can start putting her room together! I, however, am now debating on if we should switch the office and her room. I like the light in the room that is currently going to be her room, but it gets so warm in there. I like that the office is cooler, but I don't like the window placement or the fact at it is so dim in it. And I'm also now wondering if we should change her crib/furniture colors from espresso to white. I can't  wait for A to get home from work so we can discuss it. :D

I finished my Halloween costume today! Well, almost, I just need to hem the skirt portion of it which will also need to wait for A to get home from work to help me figure out the length. AND I made Charger's appointment to get neutered. I wanted to cry. I hate the thought of him being in pain. :-(  Gotta suck it up, haha. :D

SO now it's off to start on baby girl's Christmas stocking :)

Have I mentioned this is such an exciting time?!

Joy

I really enjoy moments like these where it's quiet and I can see the movements of a precious little life growing bigger each day.... especially when I've had a stressful day. Hi my little love, you're already such a huge blessing to our family. 

Our little girl is super active... pretty much all the time and she rolls ALL the time. When she does she ends up pushing a part of herself - usually her little tushy - all the way up against my tummy making it all lopsided and hard. Well, tonight she was rolling around a lot and it felt different then usual - I looked down at my belly and there are two distinct hard bumps - one on each side of my belly button (though a little lower). I got to feel her little head AND her little tushy at the same time! I am overwhelmed with emotions right now :D

20 weeks!

Last Wednesday was the 20 week mark! We're at the halfway point and we are SO excited to let you know that we are having a....

GIRL!!!

A has been convinced that she was a little girl for weeks now. Me, on the other hand, I have been convinced that she was a little boy for months now. When the ultrasound tech told us that she's a girl, I actually questioned her. "Are you sure?"  "Yes, there are no boy parts there".  I hope she didn't think I was disappointed or was hoping our baby would be one gender over the other - I was just genuinely shocked.

We are really excited for her to be here - We can't wait for February - though the new Daddy says he needs the next few months :P


We spent the other night in her room trying to visualize how we are going to decorate and set up her room. It was fun. Her bedding should be arriving sometime this week - it's purple and green with rebutterflies and flowers on it. We are planning on painting her room purple with her name and butterflies dancing across the wall above her crib. We have a needlework Precious Moments picture that A's mom did for his sister's nursery that we are going to hang in her room and I am pllanning on making her a hair bow and ribbon holder, too. 

We are VERY excited!! I can't wait to be able to post pictures of the progress of her room and her finished room!
