Dr Appt: So today Matt and I had our 20 week ultrasound and check-up. Everything looked great in the ultrasound. We have a very stubborn baby who did not want to give up its thumb for a face/profile shot, so not as good of pictures as last time, but still very cool. All organs appear to be where they should and working appropriately! The baby measured in the 50-60th percentile in most areas, so I was thinking this is awesome, maybe a semi-small/normal baby, yeah then she got to the head and we're in the 80th!! Must be all the brains, going to be a very smart baby :o) The baby also appears to have huge feet (taking after its father?!?!?!?!) Seemed like the feet were always getting in the way of the pictures. We held firm and did not find out the sex, so there is no going back now, even though it appears everyone thinks it is a boy, we will have to wait and see...
Nursery update: Lisa came down and helped paint, using red paint was an experience. Definitely should have used a primer, but you live and learn I guess. It looks like it might take one more coat to try to blend the walls with the trim, but it is so fun. I LOVE the color. I also got the curtains finished. A caterpillar and sun bordered with a fun green trim. Hoping to get the room cleared out and maybe start the wainscoting over Christmas break, the goal is to also have the quilt done by Christmas, we will see what happens!
Dilemma: to have a bumper pad or not to have a bumper pad, that is the question... I have heard so many things going both directions. Don't do it, it can cause SIDS. Do it, it is fine, they have been around for years and most kids are just fine. I am planning on having the baby in a bassinet in our room for the first while anyways...so we will see. My mom said she would make a bumper pad so it matches all of our "stuff," but I don't know. Ugh, it is already so confusing!!
Cravings: So people have started asking, "Are you having any weird cravings yet?" I would have to say no to any weird cravings. No ice cream with pickles here, however I am wanting ice cream all the time. Which for those of you who know me well, know this isn't too weird. But it is now ALL the time. I will find myself driving by a McDonalds and having to stop for an ice cream cone, or picking up a french silk pie blizzard from the Indianola Dairy Queen for my drive home from work. I am also wanting french fries with the ice cream. FYI, Burger King's new french fries are delicious!!
That is all for now, hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
