Last week I hit the 21 week mark! Woot! It is hard to believe this "experience" is half way done. Whoa! Where has the time gone?! I think the thing that has helped the time go by so fast is that I don't feel pregnant. I just feel like a lady who has gained some inches in her midsection. My weight is holding steady (no gains yet...) but I can tell that my pants are fitting a little tighter. At my last doc appointment, I was told I have an anterior placenta which explains why I haven't been feeling any movement or kicks, but at my 18 week sono, I sure could SEE a lot of movement! Here is a pic from that sonogram. Holy crap! There is something alive in there!
Bruce and I absolutely wanted to know the sex of our baby so we are happy to report that we will be having a little boy!! Bruce had definite opinions on what his name would be, but unfortunately we have yet to agree on that. ;) We are still working out the kinks!
Once we found out the gender, I headed to Lowe's to purchase a can of paint. I had already painted most of the walls a light gray color and we wanted to select a gender related color to accent. The green might seem a little bright, but once we get things hung up on the wall, I think that will help mellow things out.
Bruce and I are so lucky to already have most of the furniture for the room! A lady I used to work with just had kids a few years ago, and she was looking to get rid of their furniture so she sold it to us for a very cheap price! Awesome!!
Have a great Tuesday!
