I had another checkup this week. All is well! The baby's heartbeat ranged between 130 and 150. I've been thinking it's a girl for the past few weeks, but now I think I'm starting to change my mind again. Aaaargghh! The suspense! My next ultrasound is in 3 weeks. It's the "big one". The one where we could find out the gender. We'll see if Ry changes his mind at the last minute, but it's doubtful. He's actually been pretty strongminded about this.
Oh! And we felt the baby kick, from the outside, I mean! I thought I felt it on Monday but on Wednesday I knew for sure. It was a little "thump, thump" on the bottom of my belly. So he or she was either kicking, punching or headbutting me. Ry felt it too, unless he thought I was crazy, and just wanted to agree with me to avoid my horomonal wrath.
We, or I should say I, have decided on the nursery. We're going to do a light to medium tone green and do a bunch of stencils, maybe some moons and starts, on the wall in a light creme. Now it's just a matter of when we get started on it, but at least I feel a bit more motivated now since I know what I want.
Oh gosh, and how can I forget! Our little mcbean is going to have a new cousin, in addition to the wonderful cousins he already has! Congrats to Meghan, Chad and Owen! Hopefully they'll be best buds since they'll be so close in age!
And the most recent update of my ever increasing belly. Please excuse the crazy hair. It was almost bedtime:

wait till the baby starts kicking you for real on the outside. just make sure not to put shoes on "it" (see, this would sound so much better if we knew what sex the baby was going to be!), until it is much older.
Nina, you look great even with messy hair. It is not really messy though. Hope you are not feeling tired anymore. Belly is getting bigger as little baby is growing. Give baby my sweet kisses. Take care and I love you.
