Nursery Painted...check

The nursery is painted! We still need to paint the trim and work on the closet, but things are moving along. As I said in the last post, the bedding is here, but the crib and dresser won't be in for about another month - so until then - here is a picture of the teddy bear that matches the bedding. Isn't he cute?

Doctor's Appointment at 25 weeks and 27 weeks

Two weeks ago (at almost 25 weeks) I had a doctors appointment. It was just a quick checkup but it was the first time they had measured my belly. Much to my surprise I was measuring around 29 weeks. She assured me that the measurements can be off for a number of reasons but wanted me to come back in two weeks for another ultrasound to check the size of the baby and the amount of fluid.

So today we had our ultrasound. It really is amazing the difference 6 weeks makes. We were able to see all the details of the face, fingers, toes and organs. We also got even more confirmation that we are definitely having a girl! There is no question in my mind anymore!

Based on the ultrasound - the baby is just about a week ahead of schedule - which is perfectly normal. The fluid levels were also fine. Below is one picture from the ultrasound. It is a view from below. You can see the lips (which looks like a frown) and two little holes which are the nostrils.

We got our bedding today (which I absolutely love) and tomorrow we are getting the paint for the nursery. The crib and dresser still won't be in for about a month, but we are making progress!

Baby's Face at 21 wks

Here is the latest ultrasound picture from my appointment at 21 weeks. We love that little face already!
