We are currently 24 weeks and counting. We have a doctor's appointment this Thursday. I don't think it will be anything special. Our doctor is on vacation and so we will be seeing the head-honcho this week. I am sure it is good to meet the doctor's that work with our doctor, seeing as we have no idea who will deliver our little one. How they work out their call schedules is beyond me. I don't know how doctor's juggle office visits, hospital visits, call hours, or sleeping. Especially OB doctors. Anyway, I am not expecting too much this visit. I am worried they might think I am a little small. I also haven't really gained any weight since my last appointment. I can't imagine eating any more than I already do. Then again, everything might be fine. This is my first prengnancy and I should be glad I am on the small side...as long as the baby is growing and is healthy.

Shane and I went to Babies 'R Us yesterday and checked out strollers. I am pretty set on a Graco. My dilemma at this point is whether I should go for a Metrolite or a Quattro Tour Travel System. The Metrolites are so much lighter and smaller, but I am not sure if I like how sparse and small they look. The Quattro system is so much beefier and just feels more secure. I think we are leaning toward the Quattro at this point. It is a little bit cheaper, too, which is good. We are also leaning towards the Mocha pattern. It makes it a little bit harder not knowing what we are having.

Since I wrote last, the nursery has been painted and is looking very sweet. Nothing is in there yet, but it looks very good and I am so thankful Shane was a good sport and painted it by himself in the heat without complaining a bit. Now all we need is a crib and a baby to put in it.
