20 Weeks - Halfway there!!

20 weeks and counting!  Little E is getting bigger every day (and so am I!).  Mike was able to paint the trim and get a coat of paint on the walls!  Another coat and some more trim and we will be ready to move in the furniture!  I love the color!  "Something Blue" - It's so sweet and is going to look great with all of the white furniture.  We chose mostly greens and blues anyway, so everything is going to be perfect for Eddie!  Everything has arrived at this point furniture wise.  The crib, dresser/changing table, bookshelf, curtain rods...I'm sure I'm forgetting something but you get the point!  We are just waiting on a little more of the bedding but it should be in by the end of this month.  I can't wait to get that all together so we can start working on wall decor (and so I can take too many pictures of the room and post them here for you!).

Anyway, here are the pictures for this week!  Enjoy!

Blue Paint!!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!

We went yesterday for our first ultrasound and we were getting nervous because the baby was keeping his legs crossed and not moving around a whole lot to give us a peek.  Well, after they let me pee (sorry - it's part of the story!) baby went on a dancing spree!  He was movin' and shakin' and gave us a quick peek!!!  It was so exciting!  After that he stopped cooperating and kept his hand in front of his face.  No Paparazzi!  We couldn't get a good image of his face because he kept his hand in front of it the rest of the appointment, but here are the images they were able to give us and we are so excited to share them with you! 

Also, you will notice that the ticker has changed, so insted of being 19 weeks we are 19 weeks and a few days - they moved our due date up from March 6th to March 3rd - not a big difference, but big enough for me!  We get to meet Eddie even sooner then we thought (as long as he cooperates and doesn't cook longer then needed!)

And now - Introducing...Edward Vincent Hennigan - "Eddie"



This one scanned a little lop-sided




Just kickin' and dancin'




Long legs!



18 weeks!

Already at the 18 week mark.  We find out in less than 6 days if Baby is a boy or girl and we cannot wait!!  We are trying to finalize names, but at least we have a little longer to think about it!  Names will (hopefully) be revealed when we post the gender next week.  Of course, some of you will get phone calls and won't have to find out on here, but we will be posting the gender, name and photo for your viewing pleasure! 

This week the baby is about 5 1/2 inches long and getting bigger by the minute!  I'm finding that my belly is starting to get in the way when I try to tie my sneakers...ehh...now I just need Mike to do it for me!

Baby furniture has been ordered thanks to my parents and father-in-law!  The bookshelf, dresser/changing table combo, mattress pad and a few other things arrived yesterday and more is scheduled to arrive today.  The crib hasn't shipped yet, but it's on the list of things to arrive this month!  Again, almost finished renovations to the nursery and we should be going to buy paint this weekend.  We decided on blue whether it's a boy or girl.  It's a pretty, calming color and it just so happens I had a blue nursery when I was a baby.  We cannot wait for it to all be put together! I cannot wait for renovations to finally be done! :)


Here are a couple photos for you from this week.  Please note I have added purple to my wardrobe.  After last week I noticed how much black I wear, so we added a splash of color this week! 

Front view in my purple!
