Nursery Paint: Stage One

Eric started the painting process this weekend by painting the silver base for our stripes.  Eric's parents will be visiting this weekend to help paint the rest of the nursery.  I can't wait to see the finished product.  I will definitely have lots of pictures to show you next weekend!

23 Weeks!

Here we are at 23 weeks.  Sorry about the picture, but Eric wasn't around to take one for me.  Oh, and notice my new glasses!  I finally got a pair to replace my sad little broken glasses.  And I can actually see out of them!

Nursery Progress!

Our weekends over the next four months are starting to fill up.  We decided we needed to get a move on with the nursery.  Our furniture has arrived, art is ordered, paint has been chosen and we even visited a junk yard this weekend looking for hub caps.  I can't wait to see it all put together!

Some of our signs for the walls were delivered!  They are so fun!

22 Weeks!

This week I am 22 weeks.  LBD is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb.  And, LBD is starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day!  I will make sure to post some belly pics for you guys tomorrow.

How far along:  22 Weeks 1 Day
Total weight gain/loss? I'd rather not talk about it :)
Maternity clothes? Yes, almost exclusively.  I still have several shirts I can fit into.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep? I'm still sleeping really well.  Please let it continue!
Best moment last week? Seeing LBD at the anatomy ultrasound.
Movement? I have been feeling lots of movement this week.  I even caught a few kicks from the outside.  At my scan this week, I learned I have an anterior placenta.  This is where the baby implanted towards the front, so the placenta is positioned on the outside of the uterus (fun stuff, I know!)  This isn't any cause for concern, but it does affect when I can feel LBD.  Hopefully, Eric will be able to feel a few kicks very soon.
Food cravings?  No real cravings.
Gender? Boy!
Labor signs? Nope, and lets keep it that way!
Belly button in/out? In-y
What I miss? Sleeping on my stomach!
What I am looking forward to: Eric feeling LBD move and putting together the nursery furniture!  I also have a breastfeeding class this weekend.  I don't know if I should be excited or scared!
Milestones:  Feeling LBD move from the outside!

Big Ultrasound!

Today, we had our anatomy ultrasound.  We already knew that we were having a little boy, but it was still exciting to see how our peanut has grown.  LBD already weighs 1 lb. 2 oz. and is still measuing a week ahead.  We were able to see all of his major organs.  Our tech was so nice and she answered all of our questions.  He looks perfect!  Here are some pictures from our ultrasound:
