We had our 3rd ultrasound on September 30th and it was confirmed...we're having a GIRL! It has been so much fun to now be able to picture life with a little girl, start shopping for girly stuff, start decorating the nursery and calling her by name!! So exciting!!!
We started decorating the nursery - I had found a crib set that I loved. Then when we were registering the second day, my mom was with us and spotted a rug at Target that was light pink, dark pink, cream and brown and SO cute. It was originally $100 on clearance for $40!! Although it didn't match the crib set I had picked out, I decided that for a deal like that, I could find new bedding!!! That night when we got back to the house, we unrolled the rug in the nursery and mom, Mark and I all laid on the floor looking for baby bedding!! We found a set that is so cute and it was delivered within 2 days. It is light pink, a little bit darker pink, cream and brown circles and then a few of the pieces are striped instead of dots.
I went to the Kalamazoo Expo mom to mom sales with a girlfriend and we had such a blast!! We found some treasures and the first of our little girl's outfit collection :)
The kicks were steadily getting stronger and stronger and one night, Mark actually got to feel one. Up until then, he wasn't sure if he was just feeling the pulse in his fingers or just imaginging it, but this time, it was so strong that his fingers actually jumped a little bit! The last week or so though, they've not been as strong.
I think that's about it for the last couple weeks. Most exciting thing for me at this point? Maternity work pants!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I finally found some that are LONG enough...if not a little too long. So glad to be done with the belly band!!!!
(We got confused...this is 18 weeks!)
