20 Weeks...halfway there!


We had our 20 week appointment this week and there really isn't too much to report.  We got to hear our baby's strong, little heartbeat which is such an amazing thing to hear!  I am also starting to feel little "flutters" from the little one moving around, but am looking forward to some more pronounced movement that Chris will be able to feel too!

In other exciting baby news, we were able to schedule the ultrasound where we should (hopefully) be able to find out whether we are having a little boy or girl!!  Let's all cross our fingers that baby actually cooperates and we are able to find out as planned.  We are then planning on spilling the beans at our "Gender Reveal Party" a couple of days later, so stay tuned for a video from that announcement!

Work on the baby's room has officially begun!  We were able to get the room completely cleaned out, which was a huge feat if you saw how many clothes were in that closet.   (Also helpful was the fact that we donated six trash bags full of clothing we hadn't worn in who knows how long to Goodwill!)  Chris started work in there by mudding some holes in the walls/ceiling, and then we also painted the baby's closet!  It was a dingy white with several scuff marks, so we decided to go with a neutral yellow in the closet just to spice it up a bit in there.  Now we just need to find out what color we are going paint the rest of the room... :)
