Couple of pictures

Nursery (see post below to find out if we have to paint):


Me (21 weeks 2 days):

It's A....

I was a little anxious at first because I found out yesterday that the ultrasound tech was not the normal tech as she was out of the office this week. It turns out the girl who filled in was very nice. They had told me to drink 32 oz. of clear liquids an hour before my visit. By the time we got there, I knew I couldn't make it another 30 minutes and thankfully she let me go before the ultrasound. Good thing too, because she had to work (and poke) to get some of the shots!

We haven't decided on the girl name yet (we considered Roberta Paula after Robert....for about 2 seconds....but we didn't think that would go over well in school), so I suppose her name for now is still Baby G. She is measuring average and weighs about 14 oz. She was napping during our visit and had her head down and towards my back - must be why I haven't felt her poke much today! At the moment the due date is still Jan. 6 - maybe we can talk them into a couple of days earlier - we'll see.

We are very excited and can't wait to meet her. Although Robert is slightly disappointed that it's not a boy - this little girl will have him wrapped around her little finger before we even bring her home!

Here's one more of her profile....(it kind of looks like she's blowing bubbles!)

19 Weeks - 1st Belly Pic

I decided it was time to go ahead and post a picture.

I am still feeling pretty good. More tired than I expected to be during the 2nd trimester, but nothing to complain about. I have been having weird dreams - one involving a huge boat and another involving an RV that had helicopter propellers so that it could fly. (Robert thinks I'm crazy!) Sounds kind of a like a boy, but what do I know! I have always thought that I would not find out the sex of the baby before birth, but the closer I get to the comprehensive ultrasound the more excited I am and know there is no way I could wait another 20 weeks! We knew from the beginning we would find out because there really is a boy in my belly we have some painting to do. Robert isn't going for pink in a boy's room. I can't imagine why not! Enjoy your week!
