21 Weeks

We went to the doctor today and everything looks good with little Stella. The baby is measuring about 21 weeks and just under a pound in weight. She *really* likes to be squished up in there - the technician said she has plenty of room to stretch out, but is all squished on top of my bladder (which I already knew since every time she kicks I have to go potty!!).


I don't think she wanted pictures taken - she has her face all covered up!



All squished up - her knee is up to her face


Waving hello to everyone - or maybe leave me alone ;-)


I made them double check it was a girl....they are pretty darn sure....which is good, since we have all girl stuff!

Remodel

Here are a few pictures from the recent remodel of our dining room/kitchen and the updates to our other two bedrooms....Stella's room is still in progress =)

New dishwasher! It is very pretty and works wonderfully =) The next appliances to buy are the microwave and range.


New wall between the kitchen and what was the dining room


New study (what was the dining room)


New french doors to go into the study


Entryway - didn't Andy do a good job painting =)



Stella's room before we paint - it used to be the guest/exercise room (before the treadmill broke)



New guest room - what used to be the study. It is such a pretty blue/gray color now - used to be dark green. We still need to hang my diplomas...but I think we did quite enough work for one weekend!!!

20 Weeks

I am halfway through...hard to believe!! What is even harder to believe is that at the end of this I will be in charge of a little person - yikes!!!

Stella has started to really kick - I can see my stomach move at times. I can't imagine what that is going to feel like when she gets bigger.

I go in Monday for the next round of tests - a sonogram that will take measurements to make sure everything is growing properly. I also hope that she stays a girl - I know I am probably a bit neurotic about this, but it makes me so nervous that the sonogram a few weeks ago was read wrong. Especially after we got all the cute girl stuff!!! Although everyone has had "girl" premonitions (except for me, of course -I had none), so I guess I should just relax and buy some more cute things =)

I know these are late...and more will be coming next week =)
