pictures and stuff

There ya go!

Had my midwife appointment today. She said my glucose and iron tests came back awesome. I'm at about +26lbs so far.... and they say I should gain about a pound a week from now on... so it's looking like I should end up in the +35ish pounds... which is good. We'll see what actually happens.... :) I'm craving lots of sweets these days!

She poked and prodded around my belly a little to see if she could tell the baby's position. She said she thinks she is head down with her back along my left side and her extremities to the right. I'm guessing she was the opposite until recently because I was feeling lots of pokes on the left side for a long time. Now I'm feeling them all over and just the last few days, I've felt them up high near my ribs for the first time. After the poking and prodding, she listened to the heartbeat. It was a little fast, around 155, and she said it might have been because she was just poked and prodded. :)

We plan on moving my desk out of the office this weekend (the office will become the nursery). Brian's desk is down in the basement now. Then we have to sort through the bookshelves and other junk in here and figure out what to do with it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all the stuff in the closet.... hmm... I think I'll need one of those portable zip-up closets to put in the basement and I can move most of it down there. It's mostly dresses, jackets, sweaters - stuff I don't wear all that often.

Still working out our paint color ideas... I'm not sure what bedding we will end up with so it makes it hard, but I'm leaning towards a pale pastel green with yellow accents... Then maybe later, after we know more of our theme, maybe some wall decals. We'll see.

It's going to be so fun to decorate once we start getting all the pieces together. I can't wait until our shower! :) :) :)
