What a difference 6 weeks makes!

Today at 23 weeks vs 17 weeks....baby (and mommy) is GROWING!!!

22 weeks!

I had my 22 week appointment yesterday an everything looks great!!! My doctor measured me for the first time and I'm right on track for a late August baby! The heartbeat was strong (and LOUD), 140 beats/minute...and Dr. Garrett got to experience firsthand the activity of this little one! She got a pretty good kick as soon as she put the monitor on my belly : )  I'm still feeling great and pretty excited that I've been able to start jogging again- up until now it was incredibly uncomfortable but I think now that the baby is farther up, it has relieved some of that pressure. We'll see how long it lasts but I'm thankful for at least a few weeks of some good jogs.

This is just cute : )

We were sitting on the deck last week and I went inside to get something...when I came back out, this is what I found:

I guess my chair looked more comfortable than laying on the deck!

Nursery progress has begun!

We have started getting the nursery ready!! We have the yellow paint up (the bottom half will be gray bead-board), and I'm about halfway done with the bedskirt! Here are a couple pics of the beginnings of our modern, gender-neutral, hip nursery : ) I included one of my GPhiB girls out in Chicago last weekend as well! Belly pics coming soon....

Half-baked!!

20 weeks

So we are officially halfway through this pregnancy!! Sort of scary to think about how much we still have to do to prepare : O I'm feeling great, thankful that the weather has been so great so I can be outside walking a lot (Lucy is thankful too!) This baby is ACTIVE....Spencer has started to be able to feel the kicking a couple times a day, and I normally don't go 20 minutes without getting a little kick, nudge or headbutt from this peanut!! We're headed to Chicago this coming weekend to catch up with some college friends so I'll post more pictures next week. Spencer also wanted me post the pic of the nearly finished laundry room cabinets...just trim and hardware and we're done!! Uncle Jim would be so proud : )
