We are 6 1/2 months along now and starting to feel a bit of a crunch! We have ordered the baby's nursery set: http://www.westwoodbaby.com/stratton.html (the crib and the tall dresser) and have decided on a bedding set: http://www.kidslineinc.com/products/infant/jungle_123.php (but we won't be buying ALL those pieces, of course). We're thinking about painting the nursery a green color from the bedding set and are starting the painting process this weekend. Tomorrow we're going to the hospital for the first time for our hospital tour. We'll get to see the labor and delivery ward, the nursery, and the NICU...hopefully the NICU for the last time! In two weeks we have our birth/lamaze class. It feels like there's so much to do in the next few weeks to be prepared in case he decides to show up early!
We also had our 24 week doctor's appointment last week (at 25 weeks because of Christmas). The baby's heart beat was perfect at 146 and he was moving around a lot. The nurse had to start over four different times because he flipped or moved before she could get a complete reading on his heartbeat. I finally gained a bunch of weight this month...you'll see why when you see the belly pictures! I went from having only gained 8 pounds during the first 20 weeks to having gained 18 pounds at 25 weeks. The doctor said this is fine though because the biggest weight gain is supposed to happen between 20 and 28 weeks. Our next appointment is at 28 weeks and then we start going every two weeks! It's amazing how fast this whole pregnancy is going!
I'll post pictures very soon!
