20 Week Belly Shots and Nursery.......

Here are my 20 week belly shots. We messed up and took them from the wrong side. I will try to redo them tonight.

Adam and I had the same Teddy Bears growing up and by luck it was one of the few stuffed animals we both kept.  Adam's bear is on the Right and as he likes to say "it was loved more than yours"....LOL 

This was a quilt from when Adam was a baby.   

It's a .......

GIRL! She measured perfectly and has long legs like her daddy. Everything looked great. Whew!
Our c-section is scheduled for 11/11/11 at 2pm.

Introducing Reagan Nicole Lawrence.........

If you look closely in the video above you can see her long legs...

18 Week Belly Shots and Finished Nursery

As I promised, here are my 18 week belly shots and pictures of the finished nursery.  We still need the crib, etc but the painting is all done! 

We are recovering the glider - no worries it won't stay blue.  It will be recovered in a chocolate brown to match the crib.

Nursery...A work in progress

I have a few pictures of the nursery.  It is a work in progress but we are getting close.  We started it really early because first of all Adam is not allowed to paint and I wanted to get it painted while I am still comfortable and able to move around.  Second, because I like to get things done and out of the way. 

                                     

We will be finding out the sex of the baby next Thursday, June 16th at 1:30pm.  We'll keep you all posted on the results.  Also the nursery should be done except for furniture by this weekend.  I'll post new pics and new 18 week belly pictures.

Belly Shots at 16 weeks

We took our first belly shots this past sunday which marked 16 weeks for me. 

Monthly Check Up 5/19

I went in for my monthly check up on Thursday and even though I didn't get to see the baby, the appointment turned out to be pretty informative.  I only gained 1 lb since my last appointment, which surprisingly the doctor was a little upset about it because she wanted me to gain more.  I don't see that being a problem in the future....LOL  I also learned that I will be having a c-section.  I was told to plan on around November 7th.  The actual date will be scheduled at my next appointment on June 16th.  At that appointment we will find out the sex of the baby (yeah!) and schedule my c-section. The doctor wants to see the size of the baby to make sure my due date is not ahead or behind schedule.  She will do the c-section no later than 39 weeks.   My doctor did the Doppler and we heard the baby's heartbeat which was 160bpm.  My doctor said everything looks good.  Whew!  Now the dreaded 4 week wait starts again......

And the Nesting Begins.........

Last weekend Adam and I started the nesting process thanks to the beautiful weather we had (j/k) and the fact that our neighborhood is having a garage sale in 2 1/2 weeks.  We figured we would take advantage of the timing.  We cleaned out the room that will be the nursery and have decided how to decorate/paint it.  I have the bedding already (b/c is it on back order for months and I got lucky and found a website with 1 in stock) so we are ready to start.  I went with a gender neutral bedding because I am not a fan of "theme" rooms or all pink, blue, or purple rooms.  The walls will be the green color in the bedding.

We will do white wainscotings up the wall but it will be 4ft tall instead of the standard 3ft (which is what is shown in the picture) with a chair rail.  We will also go with white furniture.  I am reusing a dresser from when I was kid since it is real wood and very durable. 

I go to the doctor on Thursday for my monthly check up.  I will keep you all posted on how things go.  I don't get an ultrasound, just the doppler again and probably some blood work.  Not a very exciting appt.
