I think my belly has grown quite a bit in this last week or so. I think every night while I sleep, I am expanding. I used to hear that I was so small for how far along I am and now everyone comments that I am finally getting big. I am feeling more kicks and I love it. I can't wait until Shane gets to feel it. It is the coolest thing.
Our due date is four months from today. It's hard to believe that in four months we will have a little baby around. I am so very excited.
I had a dream I was in labor and had a little girl last night. It was a great labor. I didn't feel a thing. In fact, I think the doctor had to wake me up to tell me it was time to push and the baby was out in two pushes. If only I could be so lucky! She was a big little girl and had dark brown hair and lots of it. Whether we have a girl or a boy, I am pretty sure there will be lots of dark brown hair involved. And hopefully just on the baby's head.
We bought paint for the nursery this last weekend. the color is Spring Waterfall and is a light blue color. I decided I would go with blue regardless if we have a girl or a boy. I bought some crib linens from Pottery Barn Kids the other day that are pretty girlie, but I love them and they were on sale, so I couldn't pass it up. If we have a boy, he will either come to appreciate yellow flowers or I will figure something else out.
Work has been going well. I am surviving it and it really isn't all that bad. I don't know how I will handle 12 hours on my feet in 2 or 3 months, but for now, I am doing fine. I don't really know if it is any harder than it has ever been. I like my job. I like my days off, too. And I like my bed the most.

I painted the baby room in our old house a pale blue color, too. We didn’t know what we were having, but I liked it and found it soothing. It ended up being my favorite room in the house.
It is funny, though, that everything I picked the first time around was really more appropriate for a boy when i was seeing it as “unisex”. Thankfully, we had two boys and the greens and blues in their bed linens worked. This time, however, since we know its a girl I think that stuff is too boyish. Maybe its just a mental thing since I’ve seen two boys use the set over the past four years. Time for a little pink!
What is the name of the Pottery Barn set you picked? I’d love to look it up online.

I knew exactly which one it was without even having to pull it up! Very pretty- and would go perfectly with the blue walls. You can always return it, I suppose, if you decide that it won’t do for a boy.

No returns on sale items. Oh well…I suppose if I don’t get to use it this time, I might get another chance someday. I really liked it, so I am glad I got it.
