Spent about 2 hours at Babies R Us on Wednesday playing with car seats, strollers, diaper bags and started a registry. Hope to get the Target one started within the next week too. While over on 256 I stopped at Panera for lunch and was in heaven. Brought home some Asiago cheese bread, cookie for Neil and cinnamon roll for me....lunch was tasty too. Picking up the crib, mattress, and dresser sometime this weekend. Sanded the walls, need to get tape on trim and we should be ready to prime. Would like to have the room painted by the new year but we'll see.
Here are two pictures from Tuesday of the ever growing bump

      

From the bump: Fruit will stay the same for the next few weeks.

Your Baby: Month 5

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.

Nothing too new to report for this week. She is still moving a lot, some kicks/jabs are stronger than others but love feeling each one. Got an email today that our crib, mattress, and dresser are ready for pickup so hope to do that in the next week or so. Going to our first Blue Jackets game this season tomorrow night courtesy of Kevin. He won the tickets but not going due to Brittany having the chance of going into labor any time now. So far they are 9-5 for the season and they are playing the Colorado Avalanche tomorrow night. I think I am more excited for dinner which will most likely be Ted's Montana Grill or Gordon Biersch. Excited for game too but these days food takes presidence.

From the bump:

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).

TGIF!! For some reason this week seems long yet fast, I can't explain it. Anyways we made some progress on the nursery: ordered the crib, mattress, dresser, and curtains from WalMart as they had the best prices compared to Target and Babies R Us. Everything should be here sometime after the 15th. Hoping to get the paint picked out this weekend. We know the colors we want just have to get the card but won't get the paint till I can talk with him mom and see when she is available to help. We do need to sand a few spots and tape off the trim, then we should be ready. I did get the pack and play out the other night to make sure I knew how to set it up. Took me a few tries on the railings....but I have never used one before.

She is really moving now and even got Neil to feel her for the first time last Saturday. I can't imagine how its going to feel as she gets bigger! It almost tickles at times. Here are 2 pictures from Wednesday, officially half baked!

Your Baby: Week 20

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
