20 on 20

This past Wednesday I hit the 20 week mark. I am half way through this process. We took some pictures this morning. You'll have to excuse the pregnancy acne. Nothing like having a face full of zits worse than when you were a teenager.  G prefers this shot.

 

  I prefer this one minus the television plug.  Less in my face than the previous one.

We finally picked and bought bedding last night.  It's pretty girly but not too much.  I did not buy the bumpers as they are linked with all kinds of bad lately.  I also figured that we wouldn't use the matching crib blanket for anything other than decoration so that seemed dumb to buy as well.  I did get the pillow to put on our chair so it will coordinate.  We are in talks of what colors to paint the walls.  Two shades of pink or pink and another color. 

I don't think I ever fully announced on here that the baby will be a girl.  I am assuming that the people who read this were already told.  Here's the most recent sonogram photo of her.  The straight on picture of her face is a little scary.

 The sonogram technician told us that her femur bones (upper leg) were long.  I was a big baby at 9 pounds, 21 inches when I was born so I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't a big one herself.  We go back to the doctor in early March. Then we will be off to San Diego to get some better weather and GO TO THE ZOO!

It needs a place to sleep?

We finally decided a few weeks ago what crib to go with after some thought.  We are not white wood people so it will be a dark wood crib and dresser.

Here is another picture of the whole set up but it will not be in white.

We bought the dresser and hutch that match the crib.  While we were at it we got a chair that rocks and will recline.  I never thought I would purchase anything that reclines but I figure I may be kicking myself at 3am when I didn't have a chair that laid back.

I think I am close to purchasing some bedding but I am too unsure to pull the trigger on it.  I really dislike most of the bedding you see at places like Babies R Us.  I'm not a Winnie the Pooh type person.  The bedding will most likely be a pink pattern that doesn't scream infant.  G will also be adding some trim work to the room before we do any real decorating.  He has some time as the furniture won't be in until the end of April.  We still don't have much in the way of stuff for this one.  I guess that comes with time and showers.


I am still feeling just fat.  My kids at school will comment on how I am getting bigger (thanks kids) but adults tell me they can barely even tell (maybe they're just being polite).  People don't seem to believe that I am almost half way through this pregnancy (20 weeks next Wednesday).  I will take new pictures next week... maybe.
