How exciting!! i am more than happy to be having a little girl, ive always wanted to have both and i think a girl is perfect. Plus headbands are so stinking cute these days. Im super excited for dresses, headbands, and all other adorable girly things. i will however have to learn how to french braid at some point in the next few years.
So this week has been busy. I finished planting my garden, finished painting a desk. did some other exterior decorating, made the baby registry, and started decorating the nursery.
So the baby registry.... what an overwhelming thing to do. there are too many decisions and comparison and cute things. Here's a little preview of some of the cute stuff we selected.
The bedding collection.
The Car seat
And brad stressed out in babies r us while we were trying to start the registry.
I discovered a store called hobby lobby this week. its like and arts and crafts/home decor super small! they had so much cute stuff! So i did a couple of crafts, and after this i will go buy some decorations i have already selected from there! Heres a preview of this weeks work.
As you can see we are doing orange, teal, and yellow as the base for our theme. It matches the bedding and isn't your traditional pink/purple but is still girly! I will definitely add some pink things. and i am sure the will be showered in pink clothing i just didnt want an all pink theme.
Okay, on to the weekly stats.....
How many weeks: 20 weeks and 3 days
This week our baby is the size of a......Length of a large banana/cucumber, getting bigger is really all that matters! about 9 inches.
This week our baby weighs..... well my app estimates that she weighs about 10 1/2 ounces. but the doctor said she weighed 12 oz at the ultrasound on monday! She charted in the 49th percentile which is perfectly on track. She should gain another 1.5 ounces this week.
This week baby girl......is starting to accumulate meconium (poo). Which is a totally random fact.
Boy or girl? GIRL!!!
Total weight gain/ loss: +10 ish.
Showing: yep
Maternity Clothes: I can still wear at least 2 pairs of my normal pants if i use a hair band looped through my button hole.. lol. However, i do love my maternity capris. They are super comfy and look nice, plus the show my tiny belling off a little more. So i wear those pretty much all the time.
Best moment this week: Definitely the ultrasound. We got to see that she is doing well, it was amazing too look at the detail they can see. We saw all 4 chambers of her heart, her stomach, both her kidneys, her brain, eyes, fingers, toes.. and everything else in fine detail. And they said everything appeared to be normal! yay! Plus it was super cute to watch, she had the hiccups and was obsessed with putter her hands to her face.
Have you told family/ friends: i think most people know at this point!
Food cravings: Today i randomly craved fried chicken, and then the seafood sensation sandwich from subway (which they no longer make)..both at the same time! it was crazy. i think i just crave things when im starving.
Miss anything?: Sushi!!everything else i have seemed to find an adequate substitute for but nothing can replace sushi!
Anything making you sick: Not much anymore.
Pregnancy symptoms: acne... i feel like im 15 again.
Movement: yep.
Gender prediction: It's a Girl!
We call our baby: Adrienne Elizabeth Gochnauer is her name!
Looking forward to: decorating a girl nursery!
Soon to be daddy is.... Coping with being outnumbered 3 to 1 with his soon to be daughter in this house. The poor guy will have to get a male dog or something.
Until Next Week,
Shyla
