Halfway There!

I am officially halfway through this pregnancy! Hard to believe 20 weeks down and 20 to go. I def would have to say that the first half has flown by. Lets hope the second half slows down just a tad. I'm so excited to meet my little Mr but savoring the moments with my sweet Lainey as my baby. The work has not begun yet on room in basement so baby room is still a computer room upstairs. I know it will happen eventually though. It's a busy time of year around here. I am just so anxious to have everything set up and ready way ahead of time like the first go around.

One thing I do have taken care of is getting the bedding and theme of room picked out. It is of course going to be farming!! I could not find any bedding at all that I liked so I got lucky enough to find someone to custom make it for me. It was a bit of a challenge deciding on which fabrics I liked best and hoping it would all turn out. I have such a hard time visualizing and I am the worst on making decisions. Thank goodness my sister helped me A LOT.  I would be lost without her help on all and everything in between. Also the girl that made it for me was great at giving me options and ideas. I don't have it in person yet but have a few pictures to share! It will also come with a curtain valence and changing pad cover. It's probably hard to see but on the dotted fabric it includes little white apples and on the other is farm animals/barns/farmer. Extremely excited and happy!

 The top rail cover is reversible!

 

Etsy has the cutest ideas for wall decor and I am in love with these two pictures. Some of the colors will be adjusted to match the bedding. Still not sure what we are doing for furniture as far as buying whole new set or moving Lainey's stuff into baby room and doing something different for her.

 

 

I had a Drs. appointment at 18 weeks which went very well. Lainey & my Mom tagged along. I had told Lainey ahead of time she would be meeting Sylvia ( who brought her into this world). As we waited in the wating room to go back to an exam room Lainey kept saying, "Where's the baby? I like Sylvia. Sylvia is so nice." She kept saying these three things over and over. I think she thought we were going to get her brother. Sylvia showed her little dolls different sizes of babys at specific weeks. Then she would hide the baby under her belly and explained just like Mommy. This went ok at first but then Lainey freaked out a bit. She gets a bit shy and I prob should've warned Sylvia of this but I didn't. It was all good though because after hearing the heartbeat my appointment was then over and Lainey got a sucker so she was happy as a clam. A few weeks later one day Lainey told me- Mommy their is a ballon in my tummy. Momentarily I started to flip out thinking she had swallowed a non blown up balloon but then quickly realized she was imitating what Sylvia had shown her that day. I am so excited to take her to the big sibling class before our little man arrives.

 

I had my 20 week ultrasound with this awesome lady right here! (It was really 19 weeks but who's counting) She also scanned Lainey throughout that pregnancy so it was a lot of fun for her to scan this time around too. Working with your friends really is the best. The ultrasound went well and everything looked great with baby boy. I measured spot on 19 weeks and he is approx 9 oz. I got a ton of fun pictures too. I have to say he looks quite handsome already! Lots of movement and always putting his hands up in front of face.

 

 

 I first felt movement at 18 weeks 6 days. I was sitting in the chair in Lainey's room which soon enough I will rock that sweet baby in while I nurse him. It was very distinct and I knew exactly what it was. Since I have felt some movement off/on but not on a regular basis. I have worn a maternity shirt couple times just for fun but pretty well all of my tops still fit fine. I am loving my maternity leggings and jeans though. Very comfy! I have started accumulating boy clothes and can't wait to get them all organized. Have had a few cravings lately including lemonade, cheeseburgers, and subway. Overall all is good in my pregnancy bubble. 

 

Here are some of our 3D pictures from 19 week scan.

     

 

 

BLUE FOR BOY!!!
