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!
